DIR. AUSTIN FLINT
DIES AT AGE OF 70
AIienist Is Stricken With
Apoplexy and Expires in
short Time.
ACTIVE IN THAW CASE

DR.. Austin Flint. the noted %alienist.
whose testimony In the trials OF Harry
X. Thaw gained him the reputation OF
having done more TO send the slayer
OF Stanford White to the asylum than
any other man, died yesterday afternoon
at his home from n stroke OF apoplexy.
His death wac sudden and entirely un-
expected. In spite OF the fact that he
was over 20 years Of age. and even up
TO yesterday morning was active and
apparently in the best OF health.
DIR. Flint was alone in his home at
1ls East Nineteenth street. except for
the family servants. when he was
stricken. At the time he was dressing
for an afternoon engagement. According
to the servants, he had shaved himself,
az was his invariable custom. and a
few minutes later when one OF them
entered his room he was lying uncon-
scious on the floor.
DR.. Austin Flint. Jr. was at the Man
haitian Hospital with his associate. DR..
william VI. Ford. at the time. \ hur-
ried telephone message from the ser
wants brought the two OF them speed
ing to the home in Or. Ford's auto
mobile, but the aged physician had sue
cumbed to cerebral hemorrhase by the
time they arrived. His two other sons.
Sherman and Elliott, were soon at the
home. His wife and daughter, Miss
Annie Flint. are spending the sum-
mer I'm the Catskills and are expected
here to-day.
Dr. Flint's greatest fame umong lay
men probably came from his connec-
ton with the Thaw case. His testi-
mony, given under gruelling cross
examination on the stand at the time
OF the second trial at White Plains
in 1912. was credited with having been
the main factor in Thaw's failure Ia
secure his freedom. When Thaw was
finally released recently the blienis,
freely prophesied that II would not be
long before the man would again give
way to what he termed his 'homicidal
habit" and added that II Thaw hap
pened 10 he killed in such n shooting
fray the man who did il would be "a
hero for life"

Ban on Football Yarns.


The new rule adopted by the confer
ence colleges of the middle west limit
ing the secret football practice sessions
to two each week will spoil many a
good yarn during the coming season.
Secret practice has always been a fer
tile field for gridiron gossip. Few of the
weird and amazing plays so fully de-
scribed and credited to various eastern
and western elevens have been seen In
actual contests. but they made most in
teresting reading.
A prominent coach was interviewed
last fall regarding a certain play said
to have been perfected by his eleven
in secret practice. He listened careful
ly to a description of the gridiron ma
neuver as outlined 81 alleged observ-
ers, who neglected to state how they
became so familiar with the play IL 1t
was practiced behind closed gates.
"Yes. that would be a winner" he re-
marked after it had been explained in
detail. IF we could use u second and
third teams to hold our opponents while
we were pulling it off,"
