man who shot Phillips. said that his
nepehw might have been laboring under
the deluson tina David Graham Phillips

years ago ceased to be in the center of
social activity.
Men who used to know Fitzhugh Colds
borough in his school days remembered
last night his devotion to music. and his
eccentricitieS, but none of them ever
knew of his acquaintance with David
Graham Phillips.

borough at school. nc not only had a tel
ent for music. but he had aspirations as
an author. In the days when this friend
knew Goldsborough he was continually
writing for the magazines. Whether or
not he had any OF his stories published
this man did not know.

last evening for New York to view the
body and identify it. If 1t proves to be
that of his son. he will bring 1t back to
