In the same manner ns his death

Dr. Richards revealed in his state
ment that the colonel's inflnmniaturv
rheumatism, from which he suffered
ncutclv nt times, was traceable 20
vears back to an infected tooth. This
infection spread to nearly all the
joints in the colonel's bodv as the

' Three physicians had been in at

tnken to- Roosevelt hospital seven
weeks ago to be treated for what
