Dr. A. J. llrtKhani rot. a diary of his lait hour, reaffirmed that he believed that nothing fol lowed death, speculated as to wby. when consciouanena was slipping pleasantly away he hesitated to take another draught, because it tasted- nasty, smoked a clear, and with his eyes on the moving: hands of his watch welcomed death. The doctor, linguist and philoso pher, died last night. The diary heorne public today. Here ir is: TersonaHy. I hare been kept so busy on this last day in the effort to straighten out matters without overlooking anything that no time is left for petty thoughts. Besides, many clients Interrupted me. keep ing; me from meditation. I never theless wound all up. and at 5:40 P. M. took 1! one-half a-ralna of . poison, which will be sufficient a quantity, but which works slowly. Now. at :45 P. M-. I feel somewhat drowsy, but far away from eternal sep. I intend to follow the first poison up by a draught of another drug, the deadliest of all poisons, but am putting it off until the nar cotic effects will be more marked and my extreme reluctance to swal low the nasty stuff be overcome. Delay la Cearared. "Is It not foolish for a man de termined to die wlthone one hour to rather waft than partake of an un pleasant drink? Two seconds would finish it all right away, still I am musing and add more time to my lite which. In fact, la already ended. The narcotic has put me in a condi tion of absolute mental painlessness. 1 am not attempting to review my past life, and do not try to look Into the future, a.i I believe that death is the end. and that there la no here after. "My thoughts are with my beloved wife, whose love nnd devotion has rendered me Infinitely happy for many years, and with my two grandchildren. who unconsciously brought sunshine to me. "But. although I deeply regret the grief my voluntary parting from life for a time must bring on my be loved ones, ill health and late re verses make my step desirable. "7:17 P. M Did I do not know that I have taken sufficient poison to warrant result. I could not notice it from my condition: aside from fluttering heart action and con tracted eye pupils and moderate drowsiness I feel no effects. Still 1 cannot make up my mind to swal low the deadly poison and have lit a cigar awaiting, further increaae of drowsiness, and hope to be soon ai-le to coa me Into the inevitable. Kraitstlon Kept I . "7:12 P. J! I am here yet: hesi tating to take this poison. My thougnts become blurred from the drug and a sensation of supreme qutetnrte reigns In me. If it were not for my beloved wife, who Just telephoned. I would go on waiting. but t am afraid of too long a delay because a lapsing into unconscious ness might result In being; saved by medical assistance. Ten minutes more and then the end. " I am in no manner kept in bus pense. Just pleasantly and curiously watching developments. Queer enougn my oniv wish is I had additional handkerchief so I could dispose of the surplua perspiration, it being close and my skin clammy from the drug effects. DR. A. J. M. Then death arrived.
