! New York, jan 25.-David Graham
Phillips has lost his brave fight for
life. He died in Bellevue hospital late
last night, a victim of Fitzhugh Coyle
Goldsborough, an eccentric and emo
tional musician, who although of re-
fined tastes and aristocratic southern
stock shot the novelist down Monday
for fancied grudge, then killed him
tself
Phillips fought valiantly to live, but
six bullet holes were too much even for
his grit and sturdy constitution, and
as 11:10 O'Clock came he died
He was conscious up to within a
Iquarter of an hour of his death, which
occurred at just ten minutes past II
Io'clock. At the bedside were his sis
tier, Mrs. Carolyn Frevert; his brother
Harrison w. Phillips; his personal
physician, DR.. Eugene Fuller, and DR.
donovan of Bellevue. The immediate
lcause was hemorrhage of the right
lung, which had been pierced by one
of the steel clad bullets from Colds
borough's automatic Revolver.
Up to o'clock the novelist was rest
ing quietly, and both physicians and
relatives were hopeful of the outcome
He had been conscious all day and had
received visitors, among them his sis
ter, his brother, United States Senator
Beveridge of Indiana and several writ
ers of note. Their visits were extreme
lily brief, but all who came away ap
peared optimistic.
, After o'clock last night the patien
took turn for the worse and although
the surgeons did everything in theil
power. the end was inevitable. The
? physicians met directly after death an(
decided to request the coroner to dis
pense with an autopsy. 1t is believed
this will be granted, though an autops.

the funeral arrangements. The sen
ator returned to Washington Tuesda!
Afternoon; but will probably come bacl
to New York in the morning. In tn,
meantime it is thought Phillips bod.

establishment The body was sent t
Washington at midnight. Miss Colds
borough declined to discuss the TRACED
, but said her family would make publ
statement within the next few day:
: No information as to the nature of thi
statement could be obtained.
Miss Goldsborough is the onl
: member of the Goldsborough famil
who has come to New York" said M
Farr. "She does not wish to discus
/ her brothers death, or the circun
stances surrounding it, at this time.
+ $50 far as can learn, neither sh
/ nor any other member of the famil

l. Phillips. Later, when the first effect
of their bereavement have passed ava
the Goldsborough family may have

n much a mystery as ever, although Il
y theory generally accepted here is thi
e he pictured himself and family as d
N picted unfavorably in one of the a

s There is doubt on this score, ho'
ever. for there was found Tuesday al
