Totally opposed TO this story is the
account given by Miss Poe few
weeks ago. Said she:
"OD the night of Oct 3 George Poe,
sr., my gradfather. was hurrying down
Calvert street when he saw lying
beneath the steps OF the old Baltimore
museum Ton the site OF the present
Baltimore and Ohio building) a man.
as he thought, in a drunken stupor.
Pity for the unfortunate caused him
to stop and investigate. when. to his
horror. he saw II was his cousin
Edgar Quickly calling for a carriage
and sending for Nelson Poe, who
lived near by, he took the drugged
poet to the Washington hospital. Doc.
tors worked for days TO restore him.
but he never recovered consciousness
and so nothing could be learned from
him about the cause of his condition
In the early dawn of Sunday morn

fhe mention OF old Washington hos

memory of Poe's tragic death and the
discrepancies in the various accounts
of II. The grief Of that tragedy has
always made 1t tender subject with
