The witness said Hockin, who is
secretary of the International Asso

Workers and one of the defendants
on trial with Frank M. Ryan, presi-
dent of the union, admitted that he
contemplated pleading guilty.
I met Hockin in the lobby of the
federal building when the federal
grand jury was in session the early
part of this year, said Badorf. Il
said to him: / have been looking
for you as l wanted to ask you some
thing. When did you first get in

nitroglycerin was found at Rochester
in August, 1910, more than month

own residence since his appearance
in the public park here in August 10
make response to the official notifica-
tion of his denomination for the vice
presidency. It was not, however, UNI
til last Sunday that intimations be-
gan to be received of his extremely
critical condition. Always averse to
public notice, the vice presidents fam
lily seemed to shrink especially from
all publication concerning his physic-
al condition.
Even when Dr.. Janeway, the New
York specialist, came to visit him on
October 20, he was enabled to come
and go without attracting public at
tention. The vice presidents physi-
clans have been aware, however, for
the past fortnight that the malady
had made rapid headway and all Of
them feared that it soon must end
fatally
Dr. Peck, who has been in constant
attendance on Mr.. Sherman, has had
little hope for him for weeks. He,
however, was not without hope of
postponing the finality so long as it
was possible to induce the kidneys to
perform any considerable portion of
their natural functions. When they
failed in this respect he frankly stat
ed that the end could not be long
postponed.
lvot lintll Yesterday mofiling, how
ever, did he become willing to admit I
that his patients life was measured
by hours Having worked without
avail the greater part of the night
before to induce action by the kid
neys, DR.. Peck took the first oppor-
tunity to make known to the family
and to all other inquTiers the actual
condition confronting him.
Sherman Loved Clean Sports.
Now that MI Sherman is gone the
fact is recalled that he was almost
as much concerned in the promotion
OF clean sports as he was in the devel-
opment of business interests. He
was especially noted as a baseball
fan and he would suspend business
any time TO see d good game. Ill as
ne was al the time of the recent
world series was played ne dis
played especial interest in that event.
He had bulletins telephoned him in
dleatlng the progress OF each game.
