getfulness Of one Of the engineers. who lost his

Nellie Corcoran the girl of seventeen. who for
twenty days lay in a mysterious state of coma
in St. Vincents Hospital died at 1:2o O'Clock
this morning Her case was an extremely puz-
cling one TO the entire staff Of the hospital and
to medical men throughout the city. She was
aroused from her deep state of Inconsistencies
only few times when she said a word or two
and then reIapsed into her old condition. Every
effort was made TO restore her 10 permanent

was employed. Her removal TO the hospital
was Immediately followed by heroic efforts to
determine the cause of her remarkable condi-
ton and TO alleviate her aiment but with little
success.
The girl returned early Saturday night to
Mrs. Hanses perfectly we'll and in good spirits.
She was found sleeping next morning. seeming
" we'll but she could not be aroused. Mrs.
Hanse found package Of headache powders
in the girls room. but it is not known whether
the girl took any of it. An analysis will be
made OF the powder.
Electricity was applied IN hard doses. but in
effectively. Neurologists and pathologtsts tried
to diagnose the case. but could not. Specialists
in nearly every medical field were called in to
look at her and examine the conditions and
symptoms. but they arrived at no conclusion
as to the cause of the coma Hypnotic sleep
was believed at one time to be the cause of the
condition of the girl. but the doctors agreed
that If that were the case she would nave re-

One of the suggestions made as to the cause
of the girls state that by the mother, who
said she thought the girl might have been
