Victim of Assassin's Bullets
SuCcumbs to Injuries.
BEVERIDGE VISITS Mr. PHILLIPS
Coughing After Day of Intense
Suffering-AII Callers Ex-
cIuded from Bedside.

New York, Jan. 25.-David Graham
Phillips, the novelist, who was shot
six times on Monday afternoon by
Fitzhugh Coyle Goldsborough in Ora
mercy park, died at 1907 o'clock at
Bellevue hospital Mr. Phillips had
been vomiting blood during the day,
which symptom told the physicians
that the perforation in the lung caused
by a bullet which had entered the
right chest and passed out of the body
near the left shoulder blade was not
healing.
AS II o'clock approached the pa.
tents condition became especially
alarming. The excessive pain of his
abdominal wound during the day, the
constant leakage of blood into the
throat from his lung and intestinal
sufferings following the administering
of ether on Monday had worn the
novelist out. During a severe spell of
coughing at 1907 o'clock he died.
At his bedside were Mrs. Trevert,
Mr.. Harrison Phillips and Dr. Fuller.
Throughout the day many magazine
writer's, novelists and artists had left
cards at the hospital, but none of the
callers except Senator Beverage
were permitted to visit the patient.
More evidence showing that Colds
borough held enmity toward Mr.. Phil
lips was learned, but at best no one
oh f0 mir Of hi
evidence together to show why Colds
borough should have gone to the eX-
IRENE of shooting Phillips.
Stories that the violinist shot the
novelist because Mr.. Phillips in his
Joshua Craig" had portrayed charac-
ters which Goldsborough thought were
taken from Goldsborough's own family
in Washington were repeated to Har-
rison Phillips, his brother. He was
asked whether or not the publishers
of the book had sent out press notices
at the time the book was published to
the effect that some one had objected
to the novel on the score that It carl
catured members Of a certain family.
Harrison Phillips replied that he re-
membered that notices of this charac-
ter had been sent out when the book
left the press He was asked whether
he thought these notices were merely
the work of the publishers publicity
department or founded on fact. He
said that so far as he remembered
they were founded on fact.
Miss Goldsborough, sister of the
suicide, arrived here from Washington
and was met by John Farr, Jr, a
cousin, and driven to Mr.. Fairs home
at 16 Lexington avenue. Miss Colds
borough came to take charge of Colds
borough's effects and accompany his
body to Washington, where burial will
take place.
Dr. Fuller at the request of Harrison
Phillips, called up Senator Beverage
at Washington and Mr.. Beveridge ar
rived here at 1880 o'clock this morn
ing. Funeral arrangements may be
delayed to permit the dead novelists
aged mother to make the long trip
from Los Angeles.

sermon did not consume three hours.
Once it is related that the famous di-

rest was up and at it again for two
hours more. Every one OF Cranmers

and Bunyan, Calvin. Baxter and Knox
are all said to have been only little
more merciful to their hearers.
In striking contrast to these long
winded discourses may be mentioned
some startliDgly brief sermons Of late
years. Perhaps the shortest Of all was
that delivered by a clergyman at
Ocean Grove. n. j., who. after an
nouncing his text. impressively sur
veyed his congregation and then said:
Don't worry; it's wicked" He then
sat down.
1t would be difficult TO exceed this
In brevity and effectiveness, but a
north OF England vicar in the last cen
fury closely appro MINATED it. He gave
out the text. God so loved the world"
etc. To which ne added this Observa-
