James A Whalen, who was shot and NOR
tally wounded by Deputy Sheriff William
Embrey during desperate encounter last
Monday night about II o'clock, died last
night at the Georgetown University Hos
pital at IL o'clock, just twenty-four hours
after the shooting. Despite the heroic eff
forts of physicians to save his life, Wha-
len grew gradually weaker from the hour
of his arrival at the hospital until the time
he expired. This occasioned surprise among
the doctors. who did not believe his condi-
ton serious yesterday morning because of
his powerful physique and evidences Of
great vitality it gave. Coroner hewitt said
today that Whalen was the tallest man he
had ever seen In the District morgue He
was six feet four or five inches In height.
The body of Whalen was removed to the
morgue this morning and a post-mortem
examination held at 1 o'clock this after
noon. The funeral services over his re-
mains will be held Friday afternoon in Oak
Hill chapel at O'Clock. Intermeut will be

who is buried there. Whether an inquest
will be held over the body OF Whalen could
not be ascertained today.

and entered the room on the other
