 Mrs Mckinley recognized Secretary Cortelyou and myself on our arrival Fri day morning, although she had been in a semi -comatose condition for twenty-four hours attended by Drs Portmann and Eyman, her local physicians and friends. Her face frightened, and with one of those sweet smiles for which she was noted, she spoke a few words of welcome and gratitude that we had come to her. After this up to the last she was aroused with difficulty. but seemed to recognize the voices of Justice and Mrs. Day on Saturday morning.
 "Yes, she died as child going to sleep quietly, peacefully, without struggle, and as she breathed the last few breaths of this life the expression of her face changed, the lines of pain and sorrow seemed to leave it, and she looked as she must have in her girlhood before the physical affliction from which she suf- fered' for thirty years came to her, in her early motherhood"
