to have somebody attend to him. The
cash in his cheek extended from near
the right eye to the point of the jaw.
1t had been made with a knife and was
bleeding freely.
Lawson says he was told to sit down
and wait until doctor came in.

All this time Lawson says his wound
was bleeding and he was very weak.
Policeman Lucie, of the Leonard street
station, noticed the men from across the
street. He saw at once that Lawson
had bad wound. and that he ought to
have surgical attendance.
He took Lawson into the hospital again
and told DR.. Grandy that he must do
something to stop the flow of blood. The
doctors reply was:
Take that man out Of here and get
out yourself"
Lucie lost no time In getting Lawson
to the Leonard street station, where he
stated the case to Sergt. Cosgrove. The
latter Immediately sent out an ambu-
lance call to the Chambers Street Hos

to-day, "a few minutes later. Dr..

cash in his face"
| While he was at work the doctor from
Gouverneur came In and asked what the

| all his own fault. 1t was all right now
however, and he would not need any

was not drunk and was not obstreper.
Gus. He could see no reason for
Grandy's refusal to treat Lawson.

doctor could not be seen.
Does DR.. Grandy desire to make nc
statement?" the reporter asked of the
