east down Broadway when he was
overcome with apoplexy in front of
the Electric Shoe shop. Pedestrians
near at the time-which was about
1920 o'clock-say he staggered and
fell forward, striking on his side and
then turning over on his back.
DR.. Smyth, on Broadway at the
time, took charge of the case and or

For several minutes the veteran was
not expected to live, but seemed to
