the excitement incidental to that event
was the cause. The girl, however. grew
much worse, her left side became par
nlyzed, and she lost the power of speech.
Finally physicians we're summoned. To
them the mother said that the girl had
hit herself NJ on the head with her fist q
week previous to her weddin; day. This
explanation did not look plausible, and
after persistent questioning the girls
mother at length acknowledged that hel
daughter had had some trouble with an
other woman over somo of tho brida
clothing, and that the woman struck hei
daughter. The daughter was unable tc
speak, and the mother refuses to say who
the assailant was. Being assured thal
the only thing that could save the girl
was to trephine the skull, the father and
mother refused to allow the operation tC
be performed.
