Cincinnati. July "a well dressed
lady applied at the Cincinnati hospital
for admission yesterday afternoon.
She presented a letter from the moth
er Superior Of the convent where the
Young lady had resided. The letter
said the bearer. Miss Nellie Thomas,
had been employed at the convent
some time and was suffering from
swoolen legs and feet. Nothing ex-
.cept symptoms referred 20 in the let
ter was found in the preliminary ex-
animation. but later IL was decided
TO lance the feet. when II was found
the limbs and feet were embedded
with pins and needles. Forty-one
needles were extracted from her body
and she was not able until to-day TO
endure further operations, when the
needles We're extracted. and IL is
thought others viii be found. The
physicians believe that blood poison
will set In, and the case IN any event
may prove hopeless. The girl pro-
tested until after the operations that
she could not tell how her feet and
limbs became embedded with these
needles. but finally she said she had
been at the convent OF the Good
Shepherd for several years. She was
an orphan and alone in the world.
During her stay there she had done
wrong. Not once alone. bat persistent
ly. She had done that which she
knew was not right. and for every sin
she had committed she had done pen
ance by thrusting a needle into n
OF her legs. She explained that each
operation had caused her agonizing
pain and that at times the operations
were almost unbearable, but sue felt
she must bear the pain rs a recon-
pense for the sin committed. This
mode Of doing penance, she said, had
covered more than two years. Her
wrong dOings had been Of frequent &C.
currence and she was unable to esti-
mate the number OF needles she had
placed in her limbs. She said she and
another girl in the convent hsd be-
come unnaturaily infatuated with each
other. They had acted as lovers and
had together sinned against God and
nature. She said she had confessed
10 a priest at the convent who wa
greatly shocked at the confession she
made.
The Sisters were greatly surprised
at the statement made by the girl. and
could not understand how such con-
ditions could have existed In the in
stitutiOn without their knowledge.
They made no attempt to deny the
story, but were in ignorance OF such

Sister Superior Mary Malone stated
that the outcome Of the examination
