Show MIRACLE AT A DEATH BED. Strange Incident at the Death of Ex-Governor Matthews of Indiana. Ingale, Ind., Aug. 29. Ex-Governor Claude W. Matthews died here at 6:30 yesterday of paralysis. There was prayer service, accompanied accom-panied by the singing of hymns at the bedside of the dying governor. Mrs. Matthews was very much affected, and stated that she would give anything in the world if her husband would manifest man-ifest by a single word his faith in Jesus. About 3 o'clock the minister, in the course of services, asked the dying man if he believed in Jesus. The answer, as plainly as any one could articulate it, was "yes." The three physicians regarded this as miraculous, as all agreed that the particular par-ticular part of the brain affected by paralysis was that governing the speech, and the ex-governor probably would never have talked had he lived. It was the only word he spoke after he was stricken. |
