is’ believed that the telegram was
written after she realized death was
certain. About midnight Friday the
telephone operator at the hotel re-
ceived a rush call from Miss Dillard
for a physician who had been treat-
ing her. The particular physician
happened to be out. and the operator
obtained another physician who was
in the lobby at that time.
When the physician entered Miss
Dillard’s room she seemed to be in
good health, although was lying
down. She told the physician that
she only wanted to see her own physi-
cian, and was sorry that he had been
troubled.
As the physician was in the act of
leaving he observed that Miss Dillard
had grown faint. He saw that her
face was becoming livid and it was
evident that the young woman was in
a serious condition. He attempted to
restore respiration without succeed-
ing. He then used oxygen upon which
she lived for six hour* She was ’con-
scious almost to the last.
Miss Dillard came to San Antonio
for her health, and it is thought that
the fear of approaching death con-
tinually preyed u ponher mind. She
has a sister in the Lady of the Lake
Convent here, who is about to take
the veil. However, hotel attendants
were unable to communicate with her.
