New York special: A mosquito bite was
the cause OF Peter Kennedy's death at
Bellevue. The bite was inflicted ten days
ago. AT first there was u slight, hard
swelling about the size Of a split pea.
After the first nights sleep the lump was
still on his cheek and showed IL disposition
to increase in size. The morning OF the
third day Kennedy went to the Harlem
Hospital. where one of the physicians put
some spirit lotion Nh this nflamed surface.
Another visit to the Harlem Hos
pit;l convinced the physicians there
that the case was one requiring more
serious attention., so he was sent to the
Bellevue. where he grew rapidly worse.
Before the end of last week he became de-
lirious, with intervals of Consciousness. DIR.
Van Loan. the Bellevue Hospital surgeon
who attended Kennedy, said that the death
was undoubtedly due to inflammation which
followed the mosquito bite. lie was inclined
TO believe that the mosquito must have
been investigating putrid flesh of some kind
before attacking the imam. The only other
known case Of death from Il mosquito bite
also occurred in Bellevue Hospital three
years ago.
