"PROF. WHITELEY DROPS DEAD TODAY ~ Was Taking Lunch at the Brandt Resort on East Temple Street This Afternoon, When He Suddenly Expired - Prof. Joseph Whiteley, M.A., principal of the Salt Lake School of Law, dropped dead out of his chair after finishing his lunch at the Brandt cafe in the Houston block on East Temple street at 1:30 this afternoon, the immediate cause of death being hemorrhage of the brain.
Prof. Whiteley went into the cafe as is his custom at lunch time, and going up to the proprietor, Mr. Brandt, asked him what he had that was "tastey" to eat, as he was not feeling very well. Mr. Brandt suggested oysters and cheese, with the result that the professor sat down to his meal and proceeded to apparently eat heartily, when suddenly he threw up his hands and with a groan rolled over on to the floor. Mr. Brandt was the first to reach his side, when he observed that blood was flowing from out of his mouth. Mr. Witcher was hastily summoned by telephone, and arrived upon the scene simultaneously with Mr. Mayo, but by that time the unfortunate professor had breathed his last.
Both medical men diagnosed the cause of death as stated above, and consequently later Justice McMaster stated that he did not deem it necessary to hold any inquest.
Prof. Whiteley has enjoyed but indifferent health for some time past, and in fact has been under treatment at the hands of Dr. Mayo for heart trouble. Dr. Witcher stated this afternoon that possibly he might hold an autopsy upon the remains, but would do nothing until his relatives had been notified of the said affair.
Prof. Whiteley was well known throughout the length and breadth of Utah as being a scholar of rare attainments, and as at one time being connected with the State University faculty. He was an M.A., having taken his degree at Oxford university, England, and before coming to Uath he was a clergyman in the Church of England. He married a university student, Miss Marjorie Alston, sister of Thomas Alston, Democratic nominee for county recorder.
Prof. Whiteley was a scholar of broad learning. As a teacher he was recognized as proficient in Greek and Latin, as well as in some of the modern languages; and he was also especially well versed in political science and sociology. He was a political philosopher and an expounder of the doctrines of Mill, Spencer, and Bentham. His fund of information on almost all topics was surprising, and his geniality in conversation made him many friends during his years in Utah.
At a late hour this afternoon his family had not been notified of the sad affair owing to the fact that they had not been located. He is about fifty years of age and leaves a wife and family of several children."
