A few minutes before 1 o'clock this afternoon—less than twenty hours after he had shot and killed Patrolman Otto W. Motz in the West 123d Street Station—the Grand Jury handed up an indictment charging murder in the first degree against Frank Whaley, The Negro. it was stated, will be brought to trial as soon as possible, The indictment and trial probably will establish a new record for quick justice in this county, ‘Those who testified at the hearing were Detestive Gompers and Patrol- men MeLean, Gorey, Hagstrand, Stewart and Quinn, who were in the police station when the murder oo» curred, and Dr, Norris, Medical Ex- aminer.

In holding Whaley, Oberwager sald: “T will say to you now what you will shortly hear in the Court of Gen- eral Sessions—‘May the Lord have mercy on your soul.’ '* amination of Whaley on the charge of homicide was deferred twenty-four hours when the Assistant District Attorney apprised the court that the Grand Jury was taking im- mediate action in the case and a bench warrant against the accused was expected momentarily. ‘Two girls gave me something that made me dizzy,"’ was the only excuse the slayer gave for the crime. This he stated in an interview in the court pen.

M. (Associated Press) —Pope Bene- dict’s condition was grave this evening, but the pneumonia had not spread further, it was announced. The Pontiff’s temperature was given at this hour as 104, respiration 60. Camphor injections are being frequently resorted to. His Holiness recognizes those around him. Fears were expréssed at the Vatican at noon that His Holiness was in a dying condition. During the early hours of this morning, toward 4 4. M, was a sudden change for the worse and the bronchial affection from: wi His Holiness had been suffering for several days spread to his lungs. } ; The Pontiff asked for and received the last Sacrament, insisting upon this, “if only to give.a good.example,” he said, despite attempts by his attendants to"Wissuade him. ' Pope Benedict, retaining the clearest consciousness, followed with deep emotion the reading of the formula of profession of faith by Cardinal Giorgi. After receiving the communion he said to Cardinal Sili- “1 beg you to recommend me to the Virgin of Pompeii.” ; The Pope's physicians were in consultation at the Vatican at an early hour, and the morning bulletin, issued afterward, indicated ax extremely serious condition. About 11 o'clock the Pope’s condition became aggrava‘ed and the administration of oxygen was begun, SUDDEN CHANGE FOR WORSE A SURPRISE. At 11.30 o'clock the Eucharist was solemnly carried to him. Meanwhile prayers were being said in all the churches atid Catholic institutions of Rome on behalf of His Holiness, and great crowds began to assemble in St. Peter's. The sudden change for the worse seemed to have come as a great surprise, even to those who had been observing him most closely. One of the most disturbing conditions that developed early to-day seemed to be passing away after 10 o'clock this morning. This aroused more hope among the watchers, but toward 11 o’clock he became worse again, and oxygen then was administered. The physicians gave their patient another examination shortly after noon, after which Dr. Marchiafava said the Pope's condition was very grave but not desperate. He thought the turning point would occur this evening or late to-night. After this examination, the Vatican Cardinals gathered around the Pope's bedside and kissed his hand, which lay on a cushion. At this time, His Holiness was allowed to sit up in bed a few minutes. During the day the Pope was given just enough nourishment to sustain him, all solid foods being withheld in order to allow his fever to subside. ROME, Jan. 20 (By United Press).—At noon to-day the Vatican notified the Italian Government that the Pope's condition was hopeless. Grand Peniteniary Cardinal Giorgi was summoned to ‘he Pope’s bedside at half past ten this morning (Roman time) and began recital of the prayers for the dying. Cardinal Merry-‘Del Val who, as Cardinal Camerlengo, becomes temporary custodian of the Papal authority in case of the death of the Pope, took up permanent residence in the Vatican this afternoon, The illness of Pope Benedict was the result of a chill which His Holi- ness caught last Sunday when he was celebrating mass, At the time Pope Benedict began shivering and coughing violently, but insisted upon finishing the service, and refused to be carried in a chair, walking to his apartment. At the time he considered the cough insignificant, but his jtemperature rose on Monday and a physician was summoned. 101, pulse chial school children from all city! was suffering from a slight cold,’ parishes will participate said Father Donohue.
