weird performance in the morgue of
the Somerset hospital recently. There
William e. Davenport, secretary to the
mayor of Newark and student of

signs of life in the rigid body of Rob-

ductor of Newark. who apparently died
after having been put into hypnotic

Meanwhile, charged with manslaughr

that Davenport, friend of Everton,
came into the case. Notwithstanding
the declarations of physicians that
Simpson was dead, Everton pleaded
that Davenport be allowed to revive
him.
Simpsons body, covered with a

invalid.
The physician in charge shrewdly
suspected that coffee was the Worm

1t discontinued with instructions to
use Postum regularly In its place.
The wife says: I'VE found that was
the true remedy for his stomach and

The Cost of Politics.

In his "reminiscences of Grover
Cleveland, George F. Parker tells a
story concerning prodigal expendi-
lures in politics. A rich man who
had been nibbling at the Democratic
nomination for governor of New York
asked William C. Whitney's advice.
This is the advice: "Of course, you
ought to run! Make your preliminary
canvass, and when you have put in
100000 you will have become so
much interested in 1t that you will
feel like going ahead and spending
some money"

Bob" he said in a quiet, conventional
tone. look, your heart is beginning to

time after time. but without effect.
Simpson apparently was as dead as
the proverbial door nail.
While this was going on brilliant
ihcandescent lamp shed its binding
glare in the dead mans face, but the
eyelids did not fiutter, and, as the
physicians contended. he was beyond
aid.
'Disheartened. Davenport turned to
go, but Dr. Long called him back.
What is your opinion?" he asked.
Il did not come to form an opinion"
replied Davenport.
But we insist" said the county ply

pause, hes dead"
Then he went out and the medical
men began preparations for the au-

Eight physicians assisted in perform
ing the autopsy, and they issued a
signed statement at its conclusion,
stating that death was due to rupture
of the aorta, the trunk line of the ar
terial system. This indicated, accord
ing to the coroner, that death pri-
marily was due to natural causes and
that the man probably had been suf-
fering for some time from an aneu-

DID DEAD MANS HAND
STEER AUTO INTO RIVER?
CHAUFFEUR LIFELEss OR INSANE
IN CHICAGO TRAGEDY ARE
THEORIES IN CASE.

Chicago.-Was Ernest Camp dead at
the steering wheel when the taxicab
plunged into the river from the open
Jackson boulevard bridge. carrying
him and at least two other persons to
death?
Or was Camp a raving maniac az he
sped the auto at a rate of 80 miles an
hour through the rain up to the brink
of the stream where the fatal plunge
was taken?
These questions arose following one
of Chicago's most thrilling automobile
accidents. Whether Camp was dead
at the wheel none ever will know.
Whether he was insane at the time
may yet be determined. 1t developed
The Elbert County tribune., 1909-12-02

that his father was a maniac and had
attempted to slay his mother with a
butcher knife.
The danger signal on the bridge was
working, the gong was ringing and the
red light spelled STOP in electric let
tiers.
Camp must have seen them if he
was alive. He must have heard the
bell If the state of his brain was suf-
ficient to make him understand. Then
Why didn't he stop?
The chauffeur knew the regulations
concerning bridges. He was aware
of the great danger. He paid no at
tention to the warning. The auto, said
the witnesses, never slackened speed.
II dashed up to the river and plunged
into the water with great splash.
There was the scream of a woman's
voice. There was struggle in the
water as the woman was seen to
throw her arms around the neck of a
man. Then all was still They sank
from sight and the bodies were not re-
covered for several days. Still the
questions: Was Camp dead at his
post or was he a maniac?" have not
been answered. and probably never
