with him until 11.30 at night, thinking:
that he would recover sufficiently to
admit of amputation oren washing
He was watched all night bj trained
nuises. The next morning the nurses
weie changed. Dr Blddle himself saw
the patient at 10 o'clock In the morn
ing, when he was pulseless. Shortly
after this his wife was admitted anil
when she was going away, the trained
nurte told her to wait, because her
husband would be dead within an hour.
A short time after 12 o'clock he was
been by two of the resident physicians,
one saying that Homlak was onlj,
breathing about twice a minute, and
that he was pulseless
"A few minutes later another resi
dent physician examined him and pro
nounced him dead. He gave directions
to the orderly to let the remains lay
about ten minutes, and watch them and
then proceed to wash the coipse. Two
orderlies, experienced In the work,
washed the lemalns, which consumed
about twenty minutes time and they
both say that the man was dead. The
trained nurse also says that he was
dead. A shroud also was put on the
corpse. Its chin tied up tight as Is cus
tomary, and It was taken to the dead
house. The dead house was not warm,
