that Conway admitted that he knew OF

Mrs Conway later amplifed her state
ment saying:
About four weeks ago. Sophia Singer

going TO Chicago with Worthen. to whom
she said she was engaged. She asked
Charlie and me to join them there and
said she would pay all our expenses. I

called sungshot, she wanted Charlie TO

would not listen to the proposition. Then

In addition to the public funeral
il is possible that there also will be
private services at the Sherman house

was Mr.. Serman's pastor. Sergeant

presence of even the nations great
est dignitaries will shake the deter
mination of the family to avoid ali
ostentation in connection with the last
rites over their dead Mr.. Sherman
was member of the Dutch Reform
ed church and the understanding. early
in the day, was that the obsequies
would be conducted in accordance
with the forms of that denomination.
Mrs. Sherman is bearing her loss
with fortitude. She was kneeling at
the bedside of her husband when the
final summons came, and remained in
the room the greater part of last
night. Before he died Mr.. Sherman
had entrusted to his wife a list of
those he wished to act as honorary
pail bearers at his funeral. Who they
are has not yet been announced The
active bearers will be selected from
the employees of the Utica Trust and
Deposit Co, of which the Vice Presi-
dent was president.
Political activity in Oneida county
ceased with the death of the Vice
President Meetings which had been
scheduled have been abandoned by
all parties, who have joined in mourn
ing the loss of Utica's most distin-
guished citizen.
Messages of Coincidence.
Many messages of coincidence were
received here during the night and
they continue to pour in, today, from
all quarters of the country They
include kilograms from President Tart,
~. IA e 40
men in public life. These messages
of sympathy began to arrive even
before Mr.. Sherman had actually
passed away, but ali such We're for
the time withheld from the family
Since the beginning Of the Illness of
his chief, Harry Devondorf, who for
the past IS years has been Mr.. Sher-
mans private secretary, has been
with him and he now is
giving close attention TO all details
pertaining to the late Vice Presidents
affairs and to the approaching funer-
al ceremonies.
The people of this city have seen
comparatively little of Mr.. Sherman
for the past year. He left here for
Washington, early in December. 1911,
and was so constantly occupied with
his duties as presiding officer in the
Senate that he was unable to visit
the city on more than one or two oc-
casions previous to his return here
at the beginning of his final illness,
last June.
Near Death at Big Moose.
Not until it became evident that
the crisis was approaching did his
physician make known the fact that
after he left Utica and went TO Big
Moose had he come near dying at that
place DR.. F. H. Peck said, today,
that Mr.. Sherman had not been there
"a hours when he became SO i'll that
for a time his life was despaired of.
When however, h returned TO Utca,
the lower altitude and the agreeable
surroundings had the effect of rap
idly reyiving him and the people OF
Utica met him frequently on the
streets for time after he reached
the city. Gradually the trips down
town grew less frequent and he
scarcely had been seen outside of his
own residence since his appearance IN
the public park here, in August, TO
make response to the official notifica-
ton of his denomination for the Vice
Presidency.
