heart and stomach trouble that was likely
to have serious results at almost any time,
but at the end he passed from comparative
health to death in five minutes The attack
that carried him off was similar to such as
he had several times suffered from, but
from which he always rallied.
Up to the moment of death Senator Cor
man was conscious. His condition during
the past week had improved so much that
yesterday the family had hopes of shortly
taking him to the country. He partook OF
some nourishment at O'Clock this morn
Ing, but at O'Clock he was seized with a
heart attack and died in FIVE minutes. At
the bedside were Mrs. German, Miss Ada
German, the senator's eldest daughter, and
the nurse When the attack came physi-
clans were sent for, but the senator was
dead before they arrived. Up to late last
night he was in the best of spirits and chat

funeral have not yet been made, but prop

ever after the first of the year, and was
again obliged to relfnqush his duties in
the Senate and go home. He had several
heart attacks. but rallied from each one,

to take up active work again. Political
friends were not alo-Sd to see him in the
past few weeks. as he would talk and work

functions. He was allowed the papers.
however up to the last. as they entertained

public men.
He had bad attack Of heart trouble a
week ago Saturday, but recovered as usual
and at the time of his death his family
were making arrangements to go to his
home at Laurel for the summer.
