Mark Twain Passes to Death
Unconscious and Worn Out

REDDING. Conn.,, April A.-SamueI
Langhorn Clemens. Mark Twain" died
here at $50 o'clock last night of angina
pectoris.
He lapsed into coma at B o'clock in the
afternoon. and never recovered conscious
ness. 1t was the end Of a man outworn
by grief and acute agony of body.
Wednesday was a bad day for the little
knot Of anxious watchers at the bedside.
For long hours the gray. aquiline features
lay nodded in the inertia of death, while
the pulse sank lower and lower. but late
at night Mark Twain passed from stupor
into the first natural sleep he had known
since he returned from Bermuda. and
yesterday morning awoke refreshed, even
family cheerful. and in full possession Of
all his faculties.
Recognizes His Family.
He recognized his daughter Clara. Mrs.
Ossip GabriIowitsch. spoke a rational
word or two. and. feeling himself unequal
to conversation. wrote in pencil, Give
me my glasses Those were his last
words.
He took up from the coveriet CaTayle's
French Revolution his inseparable and
greatest favorite. Soon he laid the
glasses aside and sank first into reveris
and later into final inconsistencies.
At the deathbed were only Mrs Cab
rilowitsch, her husband. DR.. Robert Hal
sey, Dr.. Quintard. Albert Bigelow Paine.

Pain Soothed by Sedatives.
Mark Twain did not die in anguish.
Sedatives soothed his pain. but IN his
moments Of consciousness the mrntal de-
preston persisted. On the way up from
Bermuda he said to Albert Bixelow Paine.
who had been his constant companion in
illness:
This is a bad job. I'll never pull
through with it,
On shore once more and longing for
the serenity Of the New England hills.
he took heart and said to those who
noted his enfeeblement in sorrow:
Give me breath of ReddinG aE once
more and this Will pass" But 1t did not
pass. and, tired of body and weary OF
spirit, the old warrior against shams and
snobs said family to his nurses:
why do you fight to keep me alivaf

Too Feeble to Smoke.
1t is certain to be recalled that Mark
Twain was for more than nifty years an
inyeterate smoker. and the first con;ec-
ture of the layman would be that he had
weakened his heart by overinduIgence in
tobacco.
DIR. Halsey said that he was unable to
predicate the angina pectoris from which
Mark Twain died was in any way se>
ouel of nicotine poisoning. Some oonst1ftls
tons. he said, seem immune from the efs
fects of tobacco. This was one OF tAem-
Yet 1t Is true that since his illness key

No deprivation was a greater sorrow to

murder In the case of Mrs. Porter ChaTl-

was chiefly supported by the assumption
held hitherto that the wOman's clothes
in which her body was found were not
stained with blood. This seems now not
to have been the case Police Inspector
Nardi. who first examined the body says
the black dress was discolored al the
shoulders but as Il had been soaked with
the water which had penetrated the trunk
Il il impossible to ascertain without a
chemical analysis whether the diHcolora-
ton referred TO il due 20 blood. Per
sonaliy Nardi'believes the discoloratiOns
are blood stains
Nardi says that when he made the frst
examination after the body had been
undressed he found the Woman's chemise
and corset cover covered with blood.
The undertaking had become water
soaked and the stains had spread. but
Inspector Nardi is convinced that they
we're due 70 blood.
In view of these statements the Magis-
trate has now ordered chemical analy-
sis of the clothes Mrs Charlton wore
when the body was found.
The police still believeT that Porter
Charlton is alive. They think he has
succeeded in boarding some steamship
for the Unitpd States The possibility
Of suicide. however. Is not excluded from
their theories. as they say IL was doubt
