Last Thursday the banker. awoko
with headache and took bichlog30o

aspirin tablet. The mistake vas not
noted until walker developed tho
familiar symptoms Of mercurial poios
oning and then 1t was too late ~:
physicians to stop the deadly dFut
from paralyzing his kidneys and d.
stroying his tissues. The bankor Woo
told that nothing could avert death.
For two days, by sheer VIII power,
he would up his business alkAir1; bado
his friends goodbye. and then took
to bed to die. There were times dur
ing his six-day battle with death that
the patient indomitably refused TO-
accept his doctors prognosis and In
sisted he intended to live. But the
anguish OF stoppage Of his digestive
organs and the constant suffering he
was forced to undergo ~ physiciano
endeavored to sweat the poison out of
his system and flood his stomach with
olive oil. broke his determination.
The end came peacefully this morn
Ing, the victim lapsing into uncon-
sciousness and passing away 90 hto
wife held his hand
Walker never lost his nerve: he
never feared the death that his physi.
clans were certain could not b.
fought OF. He kept track Of the
baseball scores; he urged friends to
visit at his bedside, and until yester.
day was confident Of beating the grim
destroyer.
HIS last utterance indicated how
calmly he faced the inevitable:
IF I'm dying, then the sensok1c0
! isn't anything like It has besn pic-
tured. Nobody need fear death II II
comes this way"
Despite the pain he suffered, Walk
er frequently chided his physicians
for their air Of hopelessness, joking
with them over what he said was the
third degree" treatment, when they
wrapped his weakened body In blAI,r
kets and sought to force the pores
of his skin to carry OF the poison.
Walker was the son Of q prominent
banker OF Monroe, Ga. His brother
is solicitor-general for the western
circuit of the state. The dead banker
made an Independent fortune In real
estate and was prominent In banking
circles. He was 80 years old.
The publicity given the case. re-
suited in scores Of suggestions from
physicians and nurses all over the
country. It is very rare for the vic
tim OF bichloridex poisoning to sur.
vive more than 48 hours. but there
have been a few instances. where, -

take It's full course for week. II

that an attempt be made In his case
to transplant, by the Carol process.
the kidney OF another man, dead from
other than kidney disease, into Walk
er's body, came too late, as the bank
er rapidly grew weaker and weaker.
Macon authorities were forced to
detail a police guard at the bankers
home, so great was the city's inter-
est in his condition.

ment will not be able to further delay
matters with an appeal to the United
Safes courts.
Attorney Frazer says the decision
Of the local circuit court, holding ille-
gal the $250.0O0 appropriation for a
municipal street car line in Junction.
ave-. will have practically no effect

ership; that the money needed for

the trial OF William NJ. Wood and his
associates, convicted Of conspiracy to

that he was told he was man OF

Atteaux Will swear that dynamite
was never mentioned between them
