THE ALLEGED LEPRosY CASES
One of the Afflicted baltimore
Women Fonmd hx the Authorities.

Ole OF the AHtcIed BatfmOFe
Women Found by the Authorities.
BALTIMORE. April Phone Of the
supposed leprosy cases said to ex-
list in Baltimore was located yester-
day at 115 East Pratt Street, the victim
being Mrs. Mary Chaser. a widow. who
has spent most of her life in Baltimore
This is the case concerning which
Health Commissioner BOsley said on Mon
day there was some doubt, and it now ap
pears probable that the woman is not
Ieper at all. She is at present isolated in
her own home and in charge of Dr.
Moses Savage, who has attended her fof
more than year.
Dr. Savage said last night: 81 do not
believe Mrs. Chaser has Ieprosy. and the
opinions OF d number of eminent special
lists who have examined her coincide with
mine About year ago there was sUs-
picion of Ieprosy, but at this time I am
certain the woman is not a leper- DR.
William Osler. Of the Johns Hopkins Hos
pitaI. who examined her, pronounced her
disease 'erytheEa perstans.' a disease Of
the skin that bears some resemblance to
leprosy- but Is not only not contagious,
but Is not fatal.
Mrs Chaser is getting along fairly
well, and there is absolutely no daEger
of the disease spreading. I VIII, merely
as a matter Of pTecaution, keep her $50
lated in her own home"
The woman was for a time in a hospi-
tai in the city and was there examined by
a number Of physicians. Drs- Gilchrist
and OsIer, of the Johns Hopkins Hospital,
and Dr.. Sylvan Likes made microscopic
examinations and agreed that the case
was not one Of leprosy. Other physicians
l.. InT
it is a case OF leProsy- Mrs Chaser is
about ffty-five years old. She has no
children.
The identity Of the other case. which is
said to be one of undoubted Ieprosy. is
still unknown except that the woman
was formerly employed as a nurse, is
married and has two children.
She had been treated by Dr. J. William
Lord. OF West Franklin Street but has
not been at his office for some days Her
address is known to neither Dr. Lord nor
Health Commissioner Bosley. It is said
that she has warned the physicians who
have treated her that if she found she
was q Ieper she would commit suicide
DR.. Bosley VIII investigate both eases
further, but would not discuss his plans
beyond saying h did not see how he
could incaTcerate a person whom he cid
not believe to be q menace 10 public
health as the disease Of Ieprosy IS not
COnta giOUS.
DR. Stokes. the bacterioIogist Of the
Health Department, explained yesterday
that there has been discovered a distinct
bacillus which produces ieprosy and that
there are two forms Of the disease one
being the tuhr~cuIar form in which the
skin is affected, and the other the an
aesthetic form, where the nerves are af-
feCted and the victim loses the sense of
touch. In some cases the two forms are
mingled and it IS believed such is the
case which is nov occupying the atten-
ton Of the Health Department.
Dr. BOsIey says that the almost unani-
nous opinion among specialists is that
the disease is not contagious.

The Plaintiff in the CoIeman-Sanders
suit Awarded $1,000.

Suit Awarded $1,000.
WARSAW, Va April 2L-After trial
lasting nearly six weeks at Lancaster
Courthouse the CoIeman-Sanders breach
of-prOmise suit came TO a close yesterday
afternoon by the jury bringing in YER
dict for $500 damages against tn. de-
PENDANT. The case was given to the sury
about / o'clock, shortly after /. T. Smith
had finished his argument for the plant
If The jury was out for fully three
hours, and being unable to agree, return
ed to the courtroom, but were sent back
to their room by the court for further de-
liberation. when they reached their YER
dict in twenty minutes. 1t is reported
thst the jury stood, when the first poll
was taken, four for the defendant and
eight for the plaintiff in amounts Of 5000
and less The defendant made a motion
to set the verdict aside, which motion
viii be argued in vacation.
The plaintiff Miss Gertrude Coleman, a
highly educated young woman OF Caroline
county. in September, 1898, instituted suit
in the Circuit Court of Lancaster against
r. NJ. Sanders, treasurer of that county
in the sum Of $4,000 for failing to keep
his promise to marry her. She was award
ed damages to the amours of $1,000 An
appeal WAS taken and the Court of APP
peaIs reversed the lower court During
the two trials both plaintiff and defend
ant were subjected to rigid cross-exami-
nations.
The marriage was TO have taken place
in the county Of Caroline on the 9th Of
April, 1898 It appeared from the evi-
dence that on April the defendant wrote
to Miss Coleman as follows:
Dear Miss Gertrude: [ cannot keep my
engagement TO marry you on the 9th, ow-
ing to circumstances over which l have
no control. Hope you will pardon me
Yours truly, r. NJ SANDERS
Previous TO this letter Mr., Sanders had
invariably addressed Miss Coleman in en-
dearing terms Miss Coleman immedi-
ately wrote for an explanation and also
dcrs wrote very short note, saying ~
his physician had informed him that ne
was IN no condition to marry, this being
the only explanation he could give
When the defendant took the witness
stand during the present trial, which be
gan IN March last, about the first question
which greeted him was if at the former
trial he did not say at that time he was
ready and willing TO marry Miss Coleman,
to which he replied IN the affirmative. He
was reminded that in his plea he stated
that he was willing to marry her now
He answered that he could not marry her
now, having married few days after the
Supreme Court rendered its decision set
ting aside the verdict Of the lower court,
which gave Miss Coleman 1900 damages.
