Regarded as Greatest Stu
dent of Shakespeare.
HAD BEEN I'LL ONLY ONE DAY
He Leaves Uneompleted His Variorium
Edition Of Poet-son May Take Up
Work-Was Seventy nine Years
Old-Death Was Duo to
Pneumonia.

Philadelphia, Aug. 15-Dr Horace
Howard Furness, probably the worlds
greatest-certainly It's most devoted
student of Shakespeare, died suddenly
at his home, Lindenshade. He had
been i'll only a day, but owing to his
advanced years-he would have been
seventy-nine years old next November
he was unable to rally.
Several years ago DR.. Furness suf-
fered from illness, but he had fully re
covered and, coming from a family
noted for the longevity of its members,
many thought DR. Furness would live
and be able to work on his great edi-
tion of the bard for many years to
come. To his family and friends,
therefore, his sudden end came almost
entirely unexpected
On Sunday Or. Furness first com
planned Of feeling ILL., Monday he grew
worse. A physician was called and
found him suffering from pneumonia.
Then he sank rapidly. His family was
summoned and was at his bedside
when the end came.
Variorum Edition incomplete.
The death of DR.. Furness leaves un-
completed his Variorum edition Of the
poet. His son, Horace Howard Fur
ness, Jr., however has been an earnest
and efficient assistant to his father for
several years and probably will take
mp the work alone where the eminent
scholar left off.
Dr. Furness was born in Philadelphia
on Nov. 2, 1888. His father was DR..
William II. Furness, noted Unitarian
clergyman who was pastor of the First
Unitarian church for nearly seventy
years and who lived to be ninety-flve
years of age. The elder Furness was
born in Boston in 1902 and came to this
city when a young man. His wife was
Annie +. jerks.
The future Shakespearean scholar
was educated In this city and at Har-
ward, graduating from that university
In 1854 DR.. Furness spent the two
following years in Europe and received
the degree of doctor of philosophy
from the University of Halle.

ridiculous as if the pen were blamed for
ONeil's signature. instead of O'Neil.

his own defense and for the 40 minutes
of direct examination told the story Of
his early life and touched lightly on

admitted that he must have known in

sent kilograms from Canada telling of
his residence in Canada. A heated ar
gument followed when the state tried
to question the witness as to why he
went to an attorney for the defense

be called on to incriminate himself
Judge Flynn overruled the objection.
