Besides land, Governor Hammond
had lumber interests in East Feliciana
parish and he had planned to spend
several days in an inspection trip.
He characterized his illness as "only
indigestion" and did not think it Sc
rious enough to consult physician.
Mr.. NOVEL;, it is understood, was
somewhat worried over the failure Of
the governor to wholly shake off the
attack of indigestion and advised that
he obtain medical treatment, but Mr.
Hammond declared he would be ''all
| right in a day or two" and did not
mind spending part of the holidays in
the south.
Spent Christmas i'm New Orleans.
The governor spent Christmas day
| in New Orleans. 1t was thought by
| friends in Clinton that something he
ate while there caused his illness, as
shortly after he reached Clinton he
| complained of stomach trouble. Ply
sicians, who arrived too late to aid
| the governor, declared symptoms
| pointed to ptomaine poisoning which
| brought on apoplexy.
Governor Hammond, while in New
Orleans, told friends that this was the
| fifth Christmas he had spent on
| trains" and declared with a smile that
| he "guessed he hadn't any home.''
It was said by railroad officials here
that the body would arrive in Chi
