While she was denying his assertions he
suddenly leaned sidewise and was seen to
grasp at the rail in front of him for sup
port. His head fell to one side and Court
Officer Murphy with difficulty led him to
seat in the lobby. There he looked as
though he was about to expire. The case
proceeded and Buxbaums condition APP
