 He was then removed from the, op- terating table and at 1:o2 Bosworth was slowly breathing his last in the bed assigned to him in ward No. 3. i Shortly after being removed from the operating room the Rhode Island desperado regained consciousness. The first thing he did was to ask the at tending nurse for drink of water. He was told that favor could not be granted him but the nurse, upon or ders from the attending physician. took wet sponge and moistened the lips of the dying man.
 Bosworth was craving for a drink, his lips parched,x his eyes bu1ging and his body convulsed in the throes of Meath.
 For Gods sake give me a drink of water" cried Bosworth, n know T. m going to die, but give me one more drink
 He then rallied and his voice be- came a trif1e stronger when he asked the nurse whether the cops had shot him with buckshot or a slug. He then asked the time and was inform ed that it, was 1:30.
 Well, I want to say a few words more before I die," said the young criminal i
 I'm going to croak within an hour but a. fellow only has to croak once in a lifetime and if I don't croak I'll hang, but I don't give d-n. I'm going to die and when I croak ship
 my carcass to Providence, R. I.''
 Efforts were then made to procure some of the history of Bosworth's past life and his family connections. but the young bandit was slowly breath 1 ing his last. At 1:32 he 1apsed into 1 unconsci ousness and at exactly 2. 4z Bosworth died, in convu1sions Medical Examiner S. M. Garlick was notified of the death and he gave permission for the removal of the Il body to Cul1inan & Mullins morgue It was transferred there at o'clock last evening.
 The deceased bandit was of slim | build, about feet inches in height had large light blue eyes, a Roman nose, light hair almost blonde. His right arm was withered and is, only about three and one-haIf inches ir | circumference. At the wrist it is 1 partly paralyzed and twisted. Tn the l trouser pocket on the right hand side is lainly visible the hole through which the bullet he claimed Dormar shot at him passed.

 A summons has been served on James

 From observations made by pr. Abraham Bernstein, physician at St. Vincent'sj hospital. it has been ascer- tained that only one bullet took effect in the fleeing bandit The exact cali
 bre of the bullet that entered the body is not known. but will most like 1y be learned through the autopsy. 1 It was believed at police headquar- ters that the fatal shot was fired from a repeating rifle in the hands of Pa tro1man John Barton.
 The bullet entered tehi rear of the right hip near the kidney. It is known from the way the bullet en- tered Bosworth's body that he was fleeing when shot as the bullet enter
 ed his back. The cartridge then worked it's way upward and severed the illiac. artery causing hemorrhages from the stomach and which ultf- mate1y caused the death of the young desperado. It was exactly 11:2O when the
 death dealing rifle discharged the cartridge that entered Bosworth's body. At 11:30 his unconscious form
 was lying on the observation table at the Emergency hospital At 11:5O
 he was on the operating table at St. Vineent's hospital The operation was begun at 12:1o with Drs. Godfrey and Berstein probing for the bullet. Bos-

the truth.
Only one boat was swung out on its
davits by the crew of the Philadel.
phia; it could not have held by any
chance more than a dozen or fifteen
people; it was swung out long time
before the war zone was reached.
Why? No one knew. 1t is as much
of a puzzle today as it was the day that
the crew swung the lifeboat over the
water.
1t has been said of other voyages
that passengers on ships passing
through the Irish sea at night did not
go to bed, or If they did, they turned
in with their clothes on. There was
only one passenger on the American
liner who stayed up all night through
the Irish sea, and he was jolly, old
retired naval officer who had served
his time and who could not get over
the habit of staying on watch. This
old chap must be seventy-five years
old, but he showed up at the breakfast
table shining. roster and more gen.
orally wide-awake than any compan-
ion passenger.
