Robert II. Adams, of 1926 Green street
tressing way. In the early part of the
summer Mr.. Adams, who was a member Of
the large tailoring firm of Robert II. Adam.
& Co., was dining one evening at a down
town cafe. Among other tempting deica
cies which he had selected was a devileC
crab. Little did he suspect that deatf
lurked in the crustaceous morsel. He hat
eaten scarcely quarter of it when he dis
covered that a small particle OF the shell
had lodged in his throat. All efforts tC
dsodge 1t proved frutless. Although thu
irritation was uncomfortable, the pain was
slight, and at Jhe time Mr.. Adams had nc
thought bat that the obstacle would soon
disappear. Days passed and the irritation
remained. A month elapsed, and Mr.
Adams friends becoming alarmed at hi
backing cough and the infilmed appear
ance of his throat, advised him to consult a
physician. Upon examination, the docto
found that the piece of shell was still
firmly imbedded in the bIck of the throat
Every effort made to extract it proved
unayailing. The pain, which at first wa
scarcely noticeable, gradually developed
into the most acute agony. At the end a
the sixth week Mr.. Adams, who had al way
been regarded as perfect specimen oil
physical manhood, was reduced to mer.
shadow of his former self. Just two month
from the fateful night he died, sufferin
the most intense pain.
