Pride Kills Old Beau Lane Once Witty Clubman Dies
Smith Edward Lane once a wit of the Century and Union clubs died alone in his West Sixty-eighth street tenement. Though poverty hid his decline, friends say pride kept him from help as he aged, with only two longtime allies, ex Mayor Ely and his secretary Bergen, to manage his affairs after a four-week illness. The body was found in bed by caretaker Mrs Arnold after he failed to answer a knock. He had recently seen Dr. Halsey about a "little trouble with the Uboat" and spent years living as a recluse, his past life as a leader in Tammany recalled by mourners.
