Dickinson, came on here and answered
by way of a cross-bill She also pro-
cured a writ of habeas corpus ordering

of the strangest cases that have occu-
pied the attention of the coroner for a

at Coraopolis. The infant was momentar-
lily left alone, sleeping in hammock.
When Mrs. Holmes re-entered the room
the baby was in the throes of death,
the hammock rope tangled tightly about
its ieck. The child was dead before he
family physician arrived.
The other case was that of the two
year-old daughter of Frederick Espey,
of Homestead. The child was literally
scared to death, but what caused its
fright is mystery. The baby was climb
ing the stairway following Mrs Espey.
When half way up the child became
terror-stricken. All efforts to soothe the
little one were futile and death quickly
followed the paroXySm.
