That the death Of Lieut. Col. Leverett
II. Walker. L. 5. A.. commander of the
coast defenses in the vicinity of Boston,
was caused by the fifteen-mile horseback
test ride ordered by President Roosevelt,
in which Col. Walker took part at Fort
Ethan Allen. Vt, was the declaration
yesterday Of Dr. Ben H. Metcalf, Of
Winthrop. Mass. who was called to at
tend the army officer last Tuesday night.
He was called too late to save Col. Wal
Aers life.
Col Walker had been suffering from
heart trouble for the past six years" +"
said Dr. Metcalf THE medical board
knew this. and they should have for
hidden him to take the ride. 1t has un-
doubtedly forced his death When Col
Walker returned from Vermont he took
up his duties again. He was taken i'll
Monday night Tuesday night he died
of Inflammation OF the valves Of the
heart"
1t is known that the reason Col.
Walker did not ask to be excused from
the ride was the fear that he would be
retired. Col Walker weighed over 225
pounds. The record Of his death at Win
throp shows heart failure as the cause.
This comedies with Dr.. Metcalf's state
ment at the fort. The army death re-
turn gives ptomaine poisoning as the
cause OF death. DR.. Metcalf declares
there was not the slightest evidence of
poisoning.

The doors of the third-class cars are

waiting with his efforts to get out. He
was huge and round with a red face full
Of wrinkles, and shining shaven head. A
Maltese cross shone white upon his brown
expanse Of cassock. He got wedged tight
ly in the door and could move neither in
nor out His face grew apoplectic. Per
spiration streamed down his forehead
His hat rolled beneath the train. He
dropped his bag upon the platform, and
as it fell it burst open. Glass crashed;
cigars were scattered all about. AS the
bell sounded he began to shout. The
guard came running. The station idlers
crowded up. They tugged at him, pulling
at his hands, his robe. his fat striped
legs. over his shoulder within the car
you could see men pushing from behind
Suddenly he came through with a rush.
