REPORT IS PROVEN
THE VATICAN PHYSICIANS MAKE
STATEMENTS VERIFYING AS.
socIATED PRESS.

Rome, Aug. 22-Dr. Marchiafava. one
OF the two physicians who were at the
death bed Of Pope Plus X has given the
Associated Press the following state.
ment:
The pope died Thursday, August 20
about lis in the morning. (signed)
E. Marchiafava."
When informed of the premature an
nouncement in the United States Of
the pontifs death and the claim made
that 1t actually occurred prior to the
time as ofiicially announced, DR. Mar
chiafava said he thought It ridiculous
to doubt the exact hour at which the
pope had passed away, and decried the
attempt to shorten his life by hours In
view of the fact that there are plenty
OF witnesses who saw him alive early
Thursday. These include such outside
and disinterested persons as Mgr. Fal-'
COMO, former apostolic delegate In the
United States, who at about midnight
Of Wednesday insisted upon entering
the vatican the doors of which were
closed. He was given admtttance and
remained in the pope's bedroom for
half an hour.
DR.. Andrea Amici, the other physi-
SAaA III oItOAudLCo WuCu tOlO Oh INC
American reports said:
Il can give you the best documents
showing the irrefutable truth"
With these words he produced his
own written announcement Of the
death Of the pontiff to the mayor OF
Rome. This announcement is as fol.
lows:
Most illustrious Sir and Mayor: =.
is my sorrow to inform you that today,
August 20, at the hour of 1:15 a. M, his
holiness, Pope Plus X. known secularly
as Giuseppe Sarto. Of REESE, ceased
to live In the vatican palace, from
bronchial pneumonia, aged 70 years.
Dated August 20, 1914"
Prince Colonna, the mayor of Rome,
has ordered special cover, richly
bound and lined with satin for the
death certificate. 1t bears the Roman
coat of arms in the center and has the
following inscription in silver letters:
death certificate of his holiness
Plus X. Expired August 20, 1914"
