Making Brave Fght-Assassin's
Sister Expresses Regret.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-Expressions
Of sorrow were heard on all sides 10
CAV over the death at 1907 last night
of David Graham Phillips, the author
who was shot on Monday. Almost to
the last his friends believed that ne
would recover, but his strength was
not sufficient to Withstand the strain
OF the operations necessitated by the
wounds.
The body of the dead author was
taken to his former home In the Ma
tional Art club today and hundreds oil
his friends and acquaintances called
there to express their grief. The fu
neral arrangements are In charge OF
the members of the family and United
States Senator Albert j.. Bevertdge
but have not yet been completed. II
has been decided that services will
be he'd In the Church of the Trans
figuration, (The Little Church Around
The CornerD, but the hour has not
vet been fixed. The Rev. DR.. Hough
ton. a friend OF the dead author will
conduct tire services. The burial Will
be i'm Indiana. II
Mr.. Phillips fought hard for life 20
the very last Just before III O'CLOCK
while messengers were trying 70
locate surgeons for a hurrid consulta.
ton he opened his eyes and whispered
10 DIR. Donovan and his brother, Har-
rison c. Phillips and his sister, Mrs
Carolyn Frevert:
"Ir / had only two bullets through
me f-might WIN but with ave or-six
| 1t ispretty hard -
A hernorrhage of-the lung followed
| the second within an hour, and %
sank into insensibility. Death follow
ed few minutes later.
The body OF Fitzhugh Coyle Colds
! borough, slayer of the author, was
taken to his Washington home on the
midnight train by his sister, Miss
Goldsborough. Before leaving she
said: -
.Tn the name of my father, my
mother and myself, / wish to express
the greatest sorrow over the shoouns
of Mr.. Phillips and his death. MY
brother was not responsible; ne was
insane"
DIR. Weston. the coroner's physician
signed the Phillips death certificate
He said there was no need OF an
autopsy. The inquest will be held
later. After examining the effects o:
Goldsborough, especially diary
found in his room, the coroner said
today there was no doubt that the
murderer was demented. In the diary
after quoting a number OF passages
from Phillips books, Goldsborough
had penned
n deem Mr. Phillips an enemy to
society and personal enemy to ny
self"
Goldsborough, as an avenger, was
born of Phillips The Fashionable
Adventures of Joshua Craig" serial
published by Philadelphia weekly
and afterward issued in book form.
Until this time Goldsborough, dab
bier with the pen, had poured over
every line written by Phillips, whom
he fairly worshipped as a literary
mentor. This attitude changed to IN
reasoning hatred when he imagined
he saw i'm the character OF Joshua
Craig" a portrait OF himself, and in
the heroine, Margaret" and the
martinez OF grandmother, respec-
lively his sister and his mother whom
he believed Phillips had used to enact
scenes in his book.
The burden of evidence favors the
conclusion that the characters in the
novel were creatures OF the novelists

only thirtyone-was obsessed by the
mania that the honor OF his house was
being paraded in uncomplimentary re-
