For about an hour beginning shortly
after midnight, Johnson talked stead
lily to his wife while conscious, which
at that time, was most of the time.
Il guess | am going, Nora" he said
time after time. He held his wife
to him, stroking her hands and face.
Il want to see Fred" he said at one
time. 1t was not known whether he
meant his brother Fred who was not
there at the time, or Fred B. Lynch.
Mr. Lynch was sent for and the two
had short conversation. 1t lasted
only few minutes. Then all out
siders were excluded from the circle
and Mrs. Johnson and her friend were
left with the governor until the end.
The announcement of his death was
made by DR.. G. F. McNavin. Immed-

Conscious to the end.

The end came peacefully and he
was in full possession of his faculties,
practically all OF the time right up to
the minute of his death. His splendid
courage and marvellous fight for life,
proved an inspiration to those who
were near him at the end. Shortly
after midnight he began to have short
lapses into unconsciousness. At first
they were very brief and at other
times his mind was fairly clear. Just
as he was lapsing into the final per-
iod of unconsciousness at 1:30, he
shook hands with each of those pres
ent and bade each goodbye. The hour
previous he had spent in saying good
bye to his wife. At no time did he
ask whether he was going to live or
die. He seemed to realize that the
end had come.
