DIR. w. g. Emonds was an eye witness
OF the accident and assisted in dragging
Kenna's inanimate form from beneath the
car. In the darkness and surrounded by
an excited crowd DR.. Emonds could find
no signs OF life after hasty examination.

Great was the surprise of the gaping
crowd when the supposed corpse drew
several long hreaths, opened It's eyes and
proceeded to live. The undertaken in

tension by intimating that hospital was
