Macon, Ga, May 20.-All meas

were abandoned today by physician
attending B. Sanders Walker, the
young banker who last Thursday
took bichloride of mercury tablet
by mistake. All hope of staving off
death has been abandoned. Walker
himself said today he wanted to die
as soon as possible.
How much longer?" he demanded
today, and then relapsed into uncon-

answer. The young banker is so
weak that talking is an effort. His
pulse mounted to 1913 and his respira-
tion remained at 81 through most of
the morning.
The sweating process, devised by
physicians with the hope of carry
ing through the pores the poison
which has saturated his system and
which his paralyzed kidneys refuse
to pass, was abandoned today, to be-
ing apparent that its continuation
would only further weaxen patient
