who saw the priest even months ago
in Atlantic City were confident that he
could not live long.
Dr. Stafford was always a man Of

he might otherwise make. While he was
at Atlantic City last summer reports
were continually circulated about his
grave condition and he received a num-
Der Of letters of confidence cOncerning
his condition. This preyed upon his
mind so greatly that he finally wrote

into the public print and in order to
do this much toward allaying any fears

true condition, few statements were
given out for publication. During the
last days Of his illness when the papers
were filed with accounts Of the prepara-
tons being made for the operation, the
