Judge Murray r. Tn1ey, dean of the
Chicago bench, and one of the best
known men in the United States, died
at the Pennoyer Sanitarium just after
2 O'Clock Monday afternoon after a
memorable struggle for life. The
death of the distinguished man was
peaceful and sndden. Just a minute
before he had talked with DR.. Pen

and 1as the doctor turned away the
great heart of Judge Tuley was sti11ed,
.and,s like, a child weary Of day of
plaYo the judge dropped into the sleep
which knows no awakening. It was a
fitting ending to his gentle life and
the end was one of the most dignifed
that could be imagined. There was
none of the excitement attending the
deathbed scenes of great men, for the
judge simply dropped asleep. In the
adjoining room his faithful wife, who
had been with him, had just retired
for a short rest, and when the news
wasdbronght to her she stepped into
the room and gazed for moment into
the face of the dead, and then re-
turned to her bedroom, where she re-
NAMED until this morning. She bore

but his rugged constitution was so
strong that it was possible for him to
keep up the fight against death for
another day.
The last hours of the great jurist
were spent in perfect peace. Like
the calm before the storm, his CON

he spent most of the morning in a
happy reunion with his wife. talking
oyer their married life. which had
extended over fifty years. The little
woman knew that the end was near,
but she had 1onged for the coming OF
Christmas. After the happy morn
