ays He'e Going Te Die.
Lieutenant Coney early ia the day
kept repeating over and over that ke
wa going to die, but his physicians
had cheered him up to some extent this
nfternoon and he was inclined to take
more philosophic view of the acci
dent. His keenest disappointment is
over his failure to act up a new record;

Drs. C. M. Darrell snd J. W. Winn,
who attended tha young flier through
out the day, were Jiot prepared to lay
tonight as to whether he would live or
die. "If he doea not die," said Dr.
DarreU, I fear that he will be crip
pled or paralyzed for life. Of course,
there is hope, snd I would aot say defi
nitely he will not' recover the uae of
his limbs, but the chances srs sgninst
him."
Doctors DarreU and Winn late todsv
issued the following report as to his
condition :
"Lieutenant Coney is paralyzed ia hii
