"I want to come down and tell the
1 whole truth,” said Swann to Judge
Broyles. ”1 am guilty, and I simply

$500.75 or 30 days. He explained that
he could make it SSOO and 30 days and
bind Swann over to the state courts

WRIGHT, KING OF
FLIERS, IS DEM
Siege of Typhoid Ends Fatally
i
for Famous Aviator at His ;
Home in Dayton, Ohio.
DAYTON, OHIO. May 30. Wilbur
Wright, first aviator of the world, died
here at 3:30 a. m. today. The man
who, with his brother Orville, Invented
and perfected the first successfully
heavier than air flying machine suc
cumbed to typhoid fever, and after a
battle for life that lasted three weeks.
The end came after one of the most
remarkable struggles against the dis
ease that physicians have ever known
For more than 36 hours Wright's tem
perature had stood between 104 and
105 degrees, while his respiration was
between 40 and 50. His purse averaged
140. Stimulants were resorted to and
for the la,sf three days had been used
freely. At last midnight Wright began
to sink rapidly. His pulse grew' weak
er and he failed to respond to stimu
lants.
Wonderful Vitality Shown.
At Wright's bedside were his father,
Bishop Milton Wright; his sister. Hath,
erine; his brother and co-worker and
inventor, Orville Wright, and Lorin and
Reuchlin Wright, younger brothers. Dr.
Conklin was in attendance when the
end came.
Wilbur Wright's illness began a little
more than three weeks ago. He grew
rapidly worse and his - condition be
came critical within a week after he
had been attacked by the malady.
Orville Wright, brother of the in
ventor, who was in Washington taking
up with government officials some mat
ters n connection with the govern
ment s use of the Wright machines, was
sum loned home. Shortly after he ar
rived cablegrams wore sent to foreign
countries which the inventor had ex
pected soon to visit, saying that it
would be impossible to make the trip
for some days. Then for the first time
it was known that Wilbur's condition
was such as to give grave alarm.
Wright rallied after the first sinking
spell and his wonderful vitality made
the physicians hope that he might re
cover. He aroused himself sufficiently
to say that he would get well, and then
he grimly battled against death, fight
ing desperately against disease.
Made Game Fight For Life.
A second sinking spell occurred, and
three days ago Dr. Conklin announced
that there was no hope. Wright sank
into a state of coma. He rallied slight
ly, and though his fever was very high,
there seemed a slight chance that he
might recover. The fight he made
caused the physician yesterday to issue
a hopeful statement.
"I do not know what the outcome wilt
bo," he satd "Wright has- remarkable
vitality and he is putting up a gallant
fight. He may live. 1 can not tell."
Wright’s condition again took a turn
for the worse about midnight. He sank
into unconsciousness and during the
last few hours was kept alive only
through stimulants.
Early today it was seen that the end
was not far off and the entire family
was summoned. All were in the room
when the aviator passed away.
The aviator's condition sank lower
and lower as the morning hours sped
by. Shortly after I o'clock it was
thought he was dying. His heart ac
tion became very low The stimulants
were again used and his heart respond
ed slightly. The final -inking spell be
gan about 3 o'clock. He died peace
fully.
Brother Is Overcome.
Orville Wright, the brother who has
shared in Wright's work and his
achievements, was overcome. Their
sister, Katherine, who helped the broth
ers when they were struggling with
their invention and who shared their
triumphal European trip and their
home-coming after the success of then
machines had been demonstrated,
though overcome herself, strove to
comfort Orville.
Wright's mother is dead anil his sis
ter Katherine has taken the mother's
place in the home since that time.
No arrangements have been made sot
the funeral.
A complication of kidney trouble is
supposed to have been the cause for the
first sinking spell after it was believ.
the fever had been broken.
