Your correspondent has no desire what.
ever to achieve Immortality through a
newspaper controversy, but it seems in
cumbent on that individual to notice some
what the correction" furnished by Mr..
NJ. J.. Kenney relating to the injury OF
Freddie Parmentcr last week. In one
single, Insignificant particular was there an
error. Mr.. Kenney is doubtless correct in
stating that the machinery was in motion
at the time the boy placed his hand on the
roller, and 50 far his amendment is ac-
cepted The exact facts of the cording
are that n cord vas wound outside of the
coat sleeve, affording no %arterial compress
sion but checking the venous circulation,
thus having an effect exactly the reverse OF
what proper cording would accomplish.
DR.. Williams of Fairhaven was present
soon after the accident occurred. but did
not act in the capacity of physician. The
point which Mr.. Kenney crises to explain
is that unknown to him the boy passed be
hind the planer and nobody suspected be-
fore that he did know anything about it.
