DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 1931.

Just before the signal of death was waved from the sick room window, a doctor was rushed up the driveway at terrific speed and without pausing to give his name ran up the steps and burst through the door apparently in answer to a frantic call. But apparently Longworth had even then passed beyond thexlieip of human hands. Just before Longworth died? when all hope had been abandoned, a great motor truck rumbled through the gates and to a rear door. Trunks and hat boxes were piled into it — Niek Longworth's baggage being sent to the train for his last long journey. Twenty minutes before the speaker died, Mrs. Evalyn Walsh McClean of Washington, D. C., arrived by motor car to he with her friend, Mrs, Longworth. Kermit and Archie Roosevelt, understood to be flying here to join their sister, had not arrived yet. The body will be sent immediately to Cincinnati, the family home, it was learned. Longworth had been an annual guest of the Curtises. He arrived about April 1, a month after the cud of liis most strenuous session as speaker. He was suffering from a cold. On April 6 lie was ordered to bed and his physicians diagnosed pneumonia. Longworth -was 61 years old and his age was a factor in the rapid progress of the pneumonia condition. The strenuous short and concluding session of the 71st congress this winter imposed a severe strain on Longworth, not only because of his official responsibilities as speaker, but owing to his informal role of conciliator among embattled members of his own party. Mrs. Longworth reached Aiken Wednesday knd was reassured by her host and doctors Robert H. Wilds and Thomas Brooks of Aik en, who informed her and then made public a statement that the speaker was in no immediate danger. He failed during the day and his condition at night was pronounced critical. The Curtis home in wr.ich Longworth became seriously ill is one of the south’s show places and has been a favorite retreat for Longworth for many years because here he found music, gay company and golf which rested him from the busy sessions of congress in Washington. On this last visit to Aiken. Longworth was noticeably less tit than on other occasions. The cold from which he was suffering when he arrived interfered with his golf and I a husky throat is a source of no

t small annoyance to one who eu- ■ joys a song of ills own as well as t the Arias of the Metropolitan op- • era. t Consulting physicians were sum- » moned as Longworth’s illness proi greased. Miss Elizabeth Nelson of! ■ Washington, whose connection with I • the Longworth family is of many, years' standing, came to nurse him.! .'Four nurses in all attended his I . bedside.

CHARGES GRAFT AT PENDLETON . (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) J job in the clothing department I under Allen, when he had been 'j employed in the print shop. j He also alleges that Allen was ■ 1 in a frame-up to sell prisoners’ 1 clothes, and received commissions on sales of shoes to prisoners. In addition, be accuses Phelps of intercepting a smuggled letter containing two $lO bills. Miles has given both officers 24 1 hours to answer these charges in 1 writing, he said today. Their explanations and the Arnold charges Will then be taken before the prison trustees at their meeting Friday, he said. “Arnold had a five record as a prisoner here.” Milos said. “All join which he claimed he bought he did bold, but I cannot feel that Allen and Phelps could have stooped to bribe-taking. Other officers mentioned by Arnold were discharged by me because of various infractions of institution rules.” Arnold made his charges public in an interview published in the April number of the Hoosier Observer. a Fort Wayne publication. They appear under the heading "Politics at Pendleton" and the Arnold story is the second of a series. Arnold sent a marked copy of the story to Miles with a letter of explanation. In the letter he stated that “all charges I have made against officers are true," but then declares! that he said many praiseworthy things about Miles and the institution which were not published. o— FUND DRIVE IS NEARING END (CONTINUED FROM PAGEONE) drive. Any amount will be accepted, it was 'stated, and it is the keen desire of those connected with the drive locally to complete the task. The local quota of S2OO is the smallest ever asked of Decatur residents j and this is the first year that this ' city has not met its full quota, it was said. Major Purdue left last night for Michigan where he will complete his solicitation work for the year. He stated that in all probabilitylie would not return to Decatur and would leave the finish of the drive entirely in local hands. o JONAS TRITCH CHIEF SPEAKER iCONTINUBD PAGE ON*' Wagoner.
