seriousness; the cause oil DEATH the doctors tes-
were unable to learn lurther particulars
oil the case, the Rynus family not being
communicative about II. DR.. ThOrne said
he did not even know the name OF the girl until
Ephraim Case corroDOrated the testimony of his
professional brother IN SO lar as the circumstances
