The marriage of Long and the for
mer Rose McConnell followed a court
ship typical of the speed of the sena
tor's life.
They met In Memphis. Long, trav
eling for a packing firm, was promot
ing a cooking contest. Mrs. Long
won the prize. A few months later,
she was Instrumental In exonerating

The senator had Just stepped from
the house chsmber after pushing to
ward completion a number of special
session arts aimed at the federal ad
ministration, and toward consolidat
ing his already almost unbelievable
personal control of the atate's affairs
Assassin Dies on Spot
Dr. Weiss, a 30-year-old eye, ear.
nose and throat specialist, pressed a
gun Into the senator'a stomach and
fired. His arm was deflected before
he could fire a second shot and Long's
body guardsmen, state highway po
licemen, killed him on the spot with
a, fusillade of nearly alxty bulleta.
Dr. Weiss waa burled yeaterday.
The lieutenants of the Loulslsna
dictator were etunned momentarily
and grief stricken by Long'6 death,
but were believed ready to attempt
to carry on the powerful regime he
established.
On the other hand, Long's political
opponenta were expected to make a
strong fight against this effort and to
try to gain control themselves.
Calls for Children
Senator Long became delirious at
midnight last night, and shortly later
lost consciousness. Earl J. cnrlsten
berry, his secretary, said he ex
claimed: "Where are my children?"
His children Rose. Russell and
Palmer Held were rushed to his side
but too late for the senator to rec
ognise them.
The secretary said there were last
wishes expressed by the senator. He
would not divulge them because he
said they concerned the family and
were private.
Mrs. Jack Ducournau, a, niece, gave
another version of the senator's last
act before he lost consciousness. He
sent for Mrs. Long, who had left the
room, she said, and as she walked
In. he exclaimed:
"Hero comes my sweetheart. Where
are all the children? I love all of
you."
Gov. O. K. Allen, who was tearful
aa he emerged from the death cham
ber, eald the senator wondered "what
will happen to my poor university
boys." The senator made himself the
particular patron of the football team
of the University of Louisiana.
Wanted to Live
Fighting determinedly, Long also
told Seymour Weiss, a close inenq
ajid treasurer of the Long organiza
tion, at the bedside:
"I want to live."
The body was sent to a funeral

The end was only little more than
an hour away then and the physic
ians had abandoned their battle
against death.
"We have don everything in the
world we could for him." Dr. Sander
son said before death visited.
Governor Allen made the official
death announcement. His voice was
husky and barely audible.
"This marks with the death of
Huey P. Long the pawing of the
greatest builder of economic in the
history of Louisiana in 225 years." he
said. "It also marks with the death
of Huey P. Long the pawing of the
greatest hero for the common right of
all the people of America."
Hospital Guarded
While Long and his physicians
fought for his life, the roads around
the hospital wwe barred by troops
and police who awarmed over all
Baton Rouge, a multiplication of the
guard which failed to save him In the
statehouse.
The legislature met yeaterday and
ground out the senator's bills. One
of them gerrymandered the political
bailiwick of District Judge B. H.
Pavy, the assassin Weiss' father-in-law.
Guard searched all for weap
ons. The senate met briefly last
night and sent the bills to Its finance
committee after a minister Implored
a deity "too wise to err" to save the
senator.
The parish coroner started an In
quest Into the death of Dr. Weiss, but
postponed It because only two wit
nesses testified. He said he might
have to close the Inquest becau?e he
waa powerless to make the senator's
guards, slayers of the assassin, appear
Just before Senator Long came into
his ranee. Weiss said: "It won't be
long now."
Aa an auto bore Senator Long to
the hospital he said:
"I wonder why he shot me."
Speculate on Effect
There waa much speculation on the
possible effect of Senator Long's
death on the political empire which
was built .largely about his own dy
namic personality. Some political
leader, Including the veteran Senator
Ellison D. Smith. (D.S.C.) believed
the whole Long movement, In the
state and In the nation, would col
lapse. During the night, after hope for
his life had been abandoned, the sen
ator's political lieutenants held con
ferences on the future of his vast
political organization.
The conferees Included Governor
Allen, Seymour Weiss, Abe Shushan.
director of the levee board; Lieuten
ant Governor James A. New. Speaker
Allen Vellender of the house of repre
sentatives and George Wallace, Long's
legislative aide.
Governor Now Leader
At the top In the order of succes
sion is Oovernor Allen.
But "O.K." haa never cared much
for politics. He "trucked" along with
Long because Long wanted him to;
In addition, there was the possibil
ity of Jealousy cropping up among the
lieutenants, of internal strife in the
organisation. Such strife In the past
haa broken many political machines.
The New Orleans situation offered,
also, a serious threat. Recently. Long

Now with Long gone. Walmsley la
in a strong position to rebuild his
New Orleans organ t nation.
If the Long lieutenants were In a
quandry about the future, those who
have battled Long's rise to power
held a new hope of victory.
A few weeks ago, a group of Louis
iana congressmen who withstood the
onslaught of the senator' forces,
formed an opposition bloc. They In
tended this as the nucleus of a for
midable army of foes.
Followers runtled.
But there was more to puzzle the
political world than Louisiana. What
will become of the hundreds of the
ahare-the-wealth" units built by
the senator and his organization?
They spread across the nation. Yes
terday, while Long was ngnting r
his life, the St. Louis unit an
nounced It would soon open offices
for "Long for President In 36.'
A few weeks ago In New York.
Long said he would run as an inde
pendent In '36 If "the Republicans
go Hoover, the Democrat go Roose
velt and there Is no liberal candi
date in the field."
But at Baton Rouge today, the
national scene waa submerged to the
state. Long was dead and his lieu
tenants had to think about the fu
ture. The organization he built up
waited for a new leader.
Med Ira Clnsemmithed.
Tt was a tense night vigil about
the hospital ' as Long's strength
ebbed. Traffic was diverted. Un?ss
visitors had special permits they
had no chance to get through the
heavy guard and to the hospital
The doctors, for the most part, were
closemouthed about the struggle.
Now and then an attendant or
nurse dropped a word to indicate
how things were going. The first real
alarm among the watcher came at
7 p.m., when serious sinking spell
was reported unofficially. Up to that
time not even the necessity lor a 1
second blood transfusion at noon
yesterday could dim the hope that
the senator's enormous vitality would
pull him through.
Hope Long Held.
An hour and a half after the
sinking spell was reported one of
the doctors said: "The senator la
holding his own."
But shortly later the alarmed phy
sicians ordered blood tests for an
other transfusion. An oxygen tank
waa rushed in and It waa learned
an oxygen tent had been taken In
earlier. The transfusion waa com
pleted at midnight.
A little while later the senator be
came delirious. And then intermit
tently unconscious. He was sinking
fast. Word came out of the sick
room that there waa no longer any
hope. Then the physicians gave up.
They sat back and awaited what
they knew was Inevitable.
do not think I shall ever know. That
I something we'll never know. That
what happened there, what brought
him there, will always be between
him and his Maker."
The mother, too, could give no mo
tive for her son' action.
"We had no word, no intimation,
nothing," she said. "All that we
know is that he took living serHutly.
Right with him was right above
everything."
"We were Just a happy family
group," the mother said, "We have
always been so proud of him He had
the whole world In front of him.
When he did a thing like that h
must have known he would be killed."
The elder Dr. Weisa declared his
son's attempt on Senator Loivr's life
was not motivated by a proposed bill
before the legislature that would have
transferred his father-in-law. Judge
P. H. Pavy of Evangeline parish, from
one district to another.
"Absolutely not." he said "He had
no reason to take that seriously, be
cause the Judge did not tike It seriously."
Dr. Weiss, a graduate of Tulane
university, was known among his as
sociates as a "conscientious worker."
a "serious fellow." He served his
Internship at the Touro Infirmary In
New Orleans and at Bellvue hospital
In New York City.
In 1933. he married Tronne Parr,
a graduate of Neweomb college In
New Orleans and of the Sot bonne In
Pari.
He had been associated with his
father, also an eye. ear, nose and
throat specialist.
Dr. J. Hallock Moore, a personal
friend, described Long's assailant to
day as a "brilliant" man who was
"very thorough and palnaUklrui" and
with the courage of his conviction."
"I am confident that Dr. W!is.
after careful thought, concluded that
Huey Long should be eradicated, and
set out to do It' aa thoroughly a
he would do anything else. I am
confident, also that Dr. Wei never
talked it (the shooting) over with
anyone else.'
