him to q duel, and also informed him
that the heads Of the Medical Corps OF
the army would be speedily acquainted
with the facts in the case and he could
look for dismissal from the service. This,
he says, was on account OF his refusing

DEATH Of W|CKl|FFE
DUE TO AN ACCIDENT
Coroner's Jury Returns ver-
dict-Engineer of Train
Chief. Witness.

Death due to accident was the verdict
of the jury today at the coroner's inquest
on the death of Representative Robert C..
Wickliffe, who was killed Tuesday morn
ing at the north end OF the Long bridge
by a southbound Southern railway train.
The principal witness was l.. M. Watkins.
engineer of the locomotive which struck
Mr.. Wickliffe.
Watkins said that he first saw Mr..
Wfckliffe when about 200 feet away and
that the representative was standing in
the clear six to eight feet from the track
Watkins testified that Mr. Wickliffe ap-
parently was waiting for his train to
pass. and that at the last second the rep
resentative started to cross the track, and
was struck before it was possible for the
train to be stopped. Watkins further
said that northbopnd train had just
passed Mr. Wickliffe, and that it was
aware of the approach of the second
train as he attempted to cross the
tracks.
Was Deaf in One Ear.
Representative B. T. Harrison of Mis-
sissippi. a friend of the. dead representa-
tive. was present at the inquest. He was
not called on to testify. but said that Mr.
Wickliffe was deaf in the left ear, which
was the one toward the train which
struck him, and that undoubtedly he did
not hear the approach of the second
train.
Watkins said that at the time of the
accident he was looking for signal from
the Waterman at the draw. and as MIR.
Wickliffe was on a line with the watch
man, he had him in view all the time. and
was sure that Mr.. Wickliffe did not look
toward the approaching train.
Even his fireman, according to Wat
kins. was not aware of the accident until
the train had been stopped and Watkins
told him that man had been struck.
Several others testified, but as none ex
cept Watkins was an eyewitness OF the
accident their testimony had little bear
ing on the case
Those at Inquest.
Assistant United States Attorney John
Lewis Smith was present for the govern
ment at the hearing. and B. l. Quinn,
claim agent Of the Southern, represented
the railway. John w. Yerkes. an old

attorneys for the Southern, also was pres
ent. The members of the jury were

the government deposited s25.OOO.OOO in
the New York national banks to help
stem the panic of 1907. Samuel Inter
myer counsel for the committee at
tempted to learn the names Of the banks
in which the money was deposited, but
Mr.. Cortelyou said his memory on this
subject was poor.
The witness said he came here on
the night of October %, 1907, and had
conference with j. p. Morgan, James
9tillman, a. Barton Hepburn. George
F. Baker George w. Perkins. Frank A.

promised $25.oO0.00O for distribution
among the banks.
AT the first conference he explained,
II stated that l would not deposit a
dollar except for the relief Of the coun-
try generally and the commercial COM
munity generally"
WAS there anything said as to where
these funds should be deposited-with
what banks?'

Mr. Untermyer asked the witness il
anything was said about the high rate of
call money and the effect on the stock ex-
change Of the failure to get money here.
Mr.. Cortelyou started to give an expla-
nation and was asked sharply to reply to
the question.
"You know, Mr.. Cntermyer," he said.
there are questions / cannot answer yes
or no without doing myself an injustice.
I have right to maze AN explanation
Of my position, and i propose to exercise
that right"
Witness Is Cheerec.
This brought forth cheers from the
brokers and bankers looking on, and
declaration from Chairman Pujo that he
would have elected any one repeating it.
Mr.. Corteiyou finally said he probably
did have such discussion" but could not
recall the details.
Mr. Cortelyou. upon being pressed for
a list OF the banks in which the 49,
OOOOUO was deposited, finally referred Mr..
Untermyer to the records Of the Treasury

HOME FOR GRADY
NURSES PLANNED
Sixteen Sets of Drawings Sub.
mltted for Proposed New
$4,000 Structure.

Definite steps were taken today look
ing to the building of a handsome $780,
600 home for the nurses of Grady hos
pital, to be situated on the hospital
grounds.
Sixteen sets of plans submitted by
as many architects, have been placed in
the hands of DR.. w. B. Summerall. the
superintendent, and from these the plan
OF the new home will be chosen. The
officials of the hospital will be aided in
their choice by an advisory architect,
whose services have been engaged for
this purpose.
The officials contemplate home that
will comfortably house SO nurses. When
it Is completed the corps of nurses,
which is now abnormally small, will be
Immediately increased to meet the de
mands Of the hospital This will mean
the realization of a long needed i'm
provement in the efficiency of the insti-
tuition, the present shortage of nurses
having proved serious problem for a
long time.
Plans are eXpectedto be selected with
in the next few days, after which the
matter will be taken up with the city
council with the view of procuring an
additional appropriation before actual
work of building begins. Only a small
appropriation is now available.
The Grady nurses have long sought a
new home and are enthusiastic over the
preparations started for the new struc-
ture. The present building is an old.
ramshackle, overcrowded affair that
has been in use for years and falls far
short Of the requirements Of real
nurses home.
I'VE are planning for the future as
well as the present" says DR.. Summer
all. and want TO erect such a home as
will meet the demands of the hospital
as it grows and forces an increase in
the corps of nurses in coming years"
