simple. His friends came to the j
door of the sick room, looked at him
and turned tearfully away. He was
practically unconscious during this
time. -But the powerful heart stim
ulants, includiug oxygen, were em
ployed to restore him to conscious
ness for his final parting with his
wife. He asked for her and she sat
at his side and held his hand. He
consoled her and bade her!good-by e.
She went through the heart-trying
scene with the same bravery and
foititude with which she had borne
the grief of the tragedy which has
ended his life.
The immediate cause of the Pres
ident's death is undetermined. His
uhysicians isagree and it will possi
bly required an autopsy to fix the
exact caue. 1 he President s re-
maics will be taken to Washington
and there have a state funeral.
Vice-President Roosevelt, who now
succeeds him, may take the oath of
office wherever he happens to hear
the news. The cabinet will, of
course, resign in a body and iTe.i-dent-Rooseveitwiil
have an opportuu

so desires.
The rage of the people of Buffalo
against the assassin when they learn

boundless. Thousands surrounded
the jail and the entire polire of the
city and two regiments of militia
were utilized to insure his protec
tiou.

Before 6 o'clock it was clear to
those at the Presidents bedside
that he was dying and preparations
were.made for the last sad offices of
farewell from those who were near

death, lhe President came out uf
one period of unconsciousness only j
to relapse into another. But in ihi.
period, when his mind was partially
clear, occurred a series of eveats of.
profoundly touching character.
Down stairs, with strained and tear
stained faces, members of the cabi
net were grouped in anxious wait
ing. They knew the end was near
and that the tune had come wh-n
they must see him for the last tim
on earth This was about 6 o'clock
One by one they ascended the stair
way Secretary Root, Secretary
Hitchcock and Attorney General
Knox. Secretary Wilson also was
there, but he held back, not wishing
to see the president in his last ag
ony. There was only a momeutary
stay of the cabinet officers at the
death chamber. They withdrew,
the tears streaming down their faees
and the words of intense grief chok
ing in their throats.
''NEARER MY GOD TO THEE."
After they left the sick room, the
physicians rallied him to conscious
ness and the President asked im"me
diateiy that his wife be brought to
him. The doctors fell back into the
shadows of the room as Mrs. .hcKiq
lev came through the doorway. The
strong face of the dying man lighted
up with a faint smile as their hands
. n -i i
were clasped, one sat oeside mm
and held his hand. Despite her
physical weakness, she bore up
bravely under the ordeal. The
President in his last period of con-
i i l rr t A
sciousness, wmcn eoaea aooui :-u
p. m. chauted the words of the hymn
'Nearer My God to Thee, and bis
last audible conscious wcrds as
taken down by Dr. Mann at the bed
side were; "Good-bye all, good-bye!
It is God's way. His will be done.
ASKED TO BE ALLOWED TO DIE
Then his mind began to wander
and soon afterwards he completely
lost consciousness His life was
prolonged for hours by the admia
ist ration of oxygen, and the Presi
dent finally expressed a desire to be
allowed to die. About o.oU the au
ministration of oxyen ceased andtheJ
pulse grew fainter and fainter, ue
was sinking gradually like a child
into the eternal slumber, ay iu
o'clock the pulse could no longer be
felt in his extremities and tney grew
cold. Below stairs the gnet striCK-
en gathering waited sadly for tne
end.
ATTORNEY GENERAL KXOX ARRIVES.
All the evening those who bad
hastened here fast as steam and steel
could carry them drove up in carri
ages or were whisked up in automo
biles. One of the last to arrive was
Attorney General Knox, who came
at 9:30. He promptly went up stairs
to look for the last upon the face of
his chief. Those in the house at this
time were Secretaries Wilson, Root,

iy remainini. factor in the result,
and this gave hope only of brief
postpoaement of the end. Dr. ifyn
ter thought he might last until 2 a.
m. Dr. Mann said at 11 o'clock that
i tte President was still alive and
probably would live an hour.
THE MIDNIGHT SUSPENSE.
Thus minutes lengthened to hours
and midnight came with the Presi
dent still battling against death. At
this midnight hour the Milburn
housu was the centre of the scene as
animated as though it were midday,
although a solemn hush hung over
the crowd of watchers. SThe entire
lower part of the house was aglow
with light and the many attendants,
friends and relatives, could be seen
within moving about and coming in
groups to the front doorway for a
breath of air. In the front cham
bers lights were low, and around on
the north side where the chamber of
death is located therewere fitful
lights, some burning brightly- and
then turned low. Secretary Root
and Secretary Wilson came from the
house about midnight and .paced up
and down the sidewalk. All that
was said was that the "time 'has njt
come yet. " Vitality, continued u..
ebb and as midnight approached no
etiorts were spared to keep the spark
of life glowing.
THE BEGINNING OF THE END.
Shortly after 2 o'clock the phy
sicians and nurses detected a weak
ening of the heart acrion. The pule
fluttered and weakened and the
President sank toward collapse
The end appeared to be at hand.
Restoratives were speedily applied
and the physisians fought the battle
with ail the reserve forces of science.
Actiou was immediate andL decisive
Digiiaiis and strychnine were ad
ministered, and, as a last resort,
saline, was injected. The alarm
went from the consulting physicians
and trained nurses as fast as mes
sengers, the telegraph and telephone
could carry it. The restoratives did
nut at once prove effective and it
was realized that the President was
in a:i extremely critical condition.
The realization, with the shadow of
detb behind it, led to another call
and that a summons to the cabinet,
relatives aud close personal friends
of the President. The messengers
who returned with the doctors and
,urses wtre hurried off after those
withiu reach, und to those who were
absent from the city telegrams con
veying the painful tidings were
quickly iransmitted by telegraph,
l he sceue about the house and in the
storm swept street was dramatic in
its action and setting, and the spirit
of the tragedy was on those who
looked ubon it.
ANSWERING THE SUMMON !.
A messenger who darted out into
the rain and whisked away in an
electric cab gave the outside watch
ers the first intimation of the ill
news from within As the telegraph
instruments rattled away with their
forlorn story early this morning,the
hastily aroused physicians began ar
riving. An automobile racing at top
speed brought Dr. Mynter first. He
did not stop to speak, but rushed in
to the house. Dr. Mann came al
most on his heels and he, too, ran
down the street. Neither stopped
for a word as they rushed into the
house. After them came Abner M c
Kinley, pale and agitated. He had
left the house scarcely two hours be
fore and had departed with the as
surance that the tide had turned in
A CRANK APPEARS ON THE SCENE.
The physicians began to arrive
for the moruiny consultation at 6:15.
The new detail nf soldiers for guard
duty today arrived from Fort Por
ter a few oiicuUes later. The guard
was changed and the sentries posted
for the day At 8:a0, while the con
sultation was going ou inside, au
old lady who was plainly a crank;
approached the inner rope and iu-sistc-d
upon boiug admitted. She
said she desire'! to s?e Mrs McKin
ley. "I have spmething. important
tosaytoh.r," she said. One of
the Secret Service men kindly led
her aside and listened to' her long
story of how- she proposed to cure
the President by means of herbs and
prayers. The bulletin hen issued
was slightly reassuring and indieat
ed that the crisis miht be prolong
ed, stating definitely that the Pres
ident's condition had somewhat im
proved during the past few hours
and that there was better response
to stimulation. But his, pulse was
up to 128 and the conviction grew
that it was almost a forlcru hope.
The physicians decided that it would
not be well for Mrs. McKinley to
enter the sick room today, both ... ou

excitement it might cause the Pres

Sheriff Suttle anvl Major Jeuaings

way to Murphy, where James Low
ery, the negro murderer of Chief of
Police Jones, was killed yesterday.
W. E Bryson, a fireman of the
Southern Railway, fired the shot
that end d the life of the murderer.
Bryson, after receiving direct in structions
from Governor Aycock,
took the lead in the search- for the
fugitive. He was accompanied by
five men all of whom went to the
western counties, as it was believed
that Ljf.very had gone to that
section, where he has relatives.
He had been in Spartanburg

but left there lav. Sunday on a
freight train, beating his way to
Murphy. He began work on the
railroad, and was ou & dump yester
day wbfn Mr.. Bryson approached
him. L wery resisted arrest and a
.desperate struggle began. Bryson,
who is a small man was about to get
the wor-t ol it, and friends started
