CUT OPEN HIS SPINE.-A remark
able surgical operation was performed
at St. Luke's Hospital New York, on
Friday upon Charles Wolcott, an
aeroDaut, who met with fearful acci-
dent while making balloon ascension
in Venezuela last October.
He had made an ascent with hot
air balloon inflated in the ordinary
manner. To the balloon was attached
a parachute, from which depended q
trapeze. Through lack of police super
vision the ropes supporting the para
chute were trampled in the mud, and
when at height OF 5000 feet above the
earth Wolcott cut loose from the bal
loon with his parachute and began the
descent, he found, to his horror, that
the tangled ropes of the parachute pre-
vented its opening. He dropped to q
hanging position under the trapeze and
waited for the shock of contact with
the earth. A moment later the para
chute fortunately opened and broke
his fall.
When Wolcott was received at the
hospital at Caracas, the diagnosis was
fracture of spinal column, dislocation
of the ankles, knees and hips, and
shock. Complete paralysis from the
waist down followed.
In April last he was admitted into st.
Luke's Hospital, but partial paralysis
of the trunk and legs remained. The
operation which took place at st Luke's
Friday was intended to relieve this.
The spine was first laid open for the
length of nine inches in the middle OF
the back. Several bony protubelances
were removed and an opening six inch
es long was cut on the middle line OF
the spinal column.
The surrounding case of the spinal
chord was next opened. 1t was found
that the chord itself was but alightly in
jured, and the removal of all pressure
promises entirely to relieve the paraly-
sis. 1t is almost too soon TO determine
the exact result of the operation, but
the prognosis is favorable.

just Like King County.
Chicago Tribune,


Every now and then some case OF AK
ceptional public interest emphasizes tho
laws delay In peculiar manner. though
hardly day passes that somebody does
not suffer from IL.
The recent instance IL the case or the
policemen, Moran and Healy. who were
convicted In February, 1895, year and
nine months ago, for the murder OF Swan
Nelson. The following july they were sent
10 the penitentiary to serve sentence OF
fourteen years, In the meantime having
taken an appeal to the supreme court. The
supreme court. after year and half OF
elaboration. has reversed the case and
sent II back for q new trial, and the men
have Just been released from the peniten-
tiary after an Incarceration OF sixteen
months.
There is something wrong with laws ana
courts where such delays. We Will not say
are tolerated. but where they are possible.
The crime for which these men were tried
was committed three years ago. and after
this long delay and partial punishment or
the accused the court decides that they
were wrongfully convicted. II they are In
truth innocent men. think or the hard
ship and suffering they have endured. II
they are guilty. then public justice has
been Knocked and outraged.
