DEATH CLAIMS CLAY.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 13. — United
States Senator Alexander Steph
ens Clay, of Georgia, died at the
Robertson Sanitarium here this
afternoon at 3 o’clock, after an
extended illness. His death was
as peaceful as it was sudden.
He had been talking with his
son, Herbert, a few minutes when
he suddenly ceased speaking and
fell back with a slight gasp.
During the morning and after
noon the senator appeared in
better spirits than usual, the at
tending physicians stating that
he was apparently recovering
from the slight relapse of Satur
day. Mrs. Clay came to Atlanta
from their home at Marietta in
the morning, but when she found
the senator so much improved, re
turned to Marietta about noon.
The only member of the family
present at the death bed was the
senator’s son, Herbert, who is
mayor of Marietta.
According to the physicians,
Senator Clay’s death resulted
from dilation of the heart, super
induced by arterial sclerosis. The
senator has been ill for nearly a
year and came to the sanitarium
here on November 1 to take a
rest cute. He appeared to be
improving until Saturday, when
he suffered a relapse which he,
in his weakened condition, was
unable to stand.
The body was removed to the
Clay home at Marietta late in the
afternoon, where the funeral
services will be held Tuesday,
Senator Clay was 57 years old,
and was serving his third term
in the United States senate. He
is survived by bis widow, five
sons and a daughter, besides his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. J.
