Twelve DdyS' Sleep
For This YOUNG Cir

NEW YORK, Nov 5.-Nellie Cor
coran passed the twelfth day in a
state Of coma at st. Vineent's hospital
today without responding to the efforts
of he physicians to arouse her. In
seeming slumber she lay on a cot and
never stirred of her own volition. At
tempts to arouse her by use of cleo
tricity and by other means caused her
to moan and make inarticulate sounds,
but she did not approach complete
consciousness at any time. Her tenn
perature, which has been as high as 104
degrees, was from 102 to 103 degrees
during the day.
Physicians attached to the hospital
say that they do not believe her con-
dition is due to drugs Or to any form
of self-hypnosis. as has been claimed.
They are confident she will gradually
recover consciousness. Liquid food is
being given to sustain her strength,
depending upon nature to do the rest.
DR.. Charles w. Brandenburg, who
was first called to attend Miss Cor
coran, is of the opinion that her con-
dition is the result of taking head
ache powders in excess.

KILLED HIMSELF
TO FRIGHT6N FAMILY
He Was on a Jag and His Wife
Wouldn't Cook Supper and He
Got q Rope

FORT WAYNE, Ind, Nov. 5.-Will-
lam Ferdinand Weber lost his life last
night in an attempt to frighten the
members of his family into the belief
that he intended to commit suicide.
Weber had been drinking, and as he
entered the house he demanded that
his wife prepare some supper. When
she refused, he announced that he in
tended to kill himself. This threat
had been made so often that the family
did not give it a second thought He
passed through the room in which they
were sitting, procured long rope and
returned to his bedroom. He closed
the door and soon noise which
sounded like the shuffling of feet
across the floor was heard. Think
ing that he had gone to bed, no atten-
ton was paid ITO him. When Mrs.
Weber entered the bedroom to retire
she was Mortified to find her husbands
dead body at the end Of the rope
which had been caught in the crack of
the door He had probably thrown
the rope over the door and had STUN
bled and fallen in such a position that
he was unable either to get up or cry
out
