MAKES INQUIRY OF
ATTENDANT.


When DR.. Van HelsinE and DR..
Seward had come back from seeing
poor Renheld. we went gravely into
what was to be done. First. DIR.
Seward told us that when he and Dr.
Van R.Ising. had gone down to the
room below they had found Renheld
living on the floor. all in a heap. His
face was all bruised and crushed in.
and the bones of the neck were
broken.
Dr. Seward asked the attendant Nho
was on duty in the passage IL he had
heard anything. He said that he had
been sitting down-he confessed to
half dozing-when he heard loud
voices in the room, and then Renfield
had called out loudly several times,
God. God! God"'
After that there was a sound OF
falling. and when he entered the room
he found him dying on the floor, face
down. just as the doctors had seen
him. Van Helsing asked II he had
heard voices" or "a voice." and he
said he could not say: that at first It
had seemed to him as II there were
two. hut as there was no one in the
room it could have been only one.
He could swear to it. IL required,
that Che word God" was spoken by
the patient. DR.. Seward said TO us,
when we were alone, that he did not
wish to go into the matter: the ques-
ton OF an inquest had to be consid-
cred, and it would never do to put
forward the truth. as no one would
believe IL. As 1t was, he thought that
on the attendants evidence he could
give a certificate OF death by missd-
venture In falling from bed. In case
the coroner should demand it. there
would be a formal inquest, necessarily
to the same result.
