Relatives Forced to Leave Room.
When the death of Mr.. Morgan was
seen to be approaching rapidly Pro-
fessor Bastianell and DR.. Dixon
forced Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert L. Sat
terlee his son-in-law and daughter.
and Miss Helen Hamilton, who had
been in constant attendance, to leave
the room,
Mr.. Morgan toward the end showed
that he was suffering internally only
by a movement of his right hand.
Otherwise he displayed no sign of
vitality except by continuous heavy
breathing.
Frequent bulletins We're issued
during the morning showing that his
condition was gradually becoming
worse, and by IL o'clock the physi
clans had given up all hope.
Mr.. Morgan was unable to assimi
late the artificial nourishment admin
istered during the morning and his
physical weakness was extreme.
Heart tonics We're injected, but these
had no effect and for several hours
he was in a state of coma and un.
able to respond to any questions or
to recognize any of those at his bed
side.
One of his relatives. Mrs. F'itz
Simon. wife of the Rev. Fitz Simon,
arrived from Cannes and was shown
into the death chamber but her pres
ence remained unknown to the dying
man.
Four Trained Nurses and Three Doctors.
Beside the four trained nurses in
attendance, Miss Helen Hamilton was
of great assistance to the three physi-
clans, Professor Giuseppe Bastianelli,
DR.. NJ. Allen Starr and DR.. George
A. Dixon.
During the morning George Post
Wheeler, secretary of the American
embassy, called to make inquiries
on behalf of the American ambassa-
dor, Thomas ]: O'Brien, and was
told that Mr. Morgan had collapsed
and that his condition had been rem
dered worse by increasing deafness.
From his arrival in Rome. Mr.. and
Mrs. Herbert l.. Satterlee had feared
mistake had been made in bringing
Mr. Morgan to Rome instead of talk
ing him direct to London, where he
would have been in his own house in
stead of noisy hotel. and they
thought, too that the climate of
Rome was too mild and enervating
for him in his condition of i'll health.
Gable dispatches from America.
Great Britain and other parts of the
world poured in all day, making anx-
lious inquiries expressing the affection
in which Mr.. Morgan was held every
where.
The flnancier's secretary found II
impossible to reply to all the in
quiries, and Mr.. and Mrs. Satterlee
expressed the desire to inform the
inquiriers how touched they were al
the manifestations of sympathy they
had received.
The body of the late j. Pierpont
Morgan is to be embalmed and sent
to the United States on board shir
from Naples. A funeral service viii
be held here before its departure.
