Saint Quentin. who had been a q catalep-
tic state since May 81, 1888, awakened on
Wednesday.
For some time past she had been suffer
ing from phthisis. and it is believed that
the effect of this malady on her system
conduced to her reawakening.
She moved her hand on Saturday for the
first time and groaned slightly.
When DR.. Charlier took hold of her arm
she said. You pinching me-" and sub
sequently replied to questions by yes and
no"
She was however in a state of the
greatest weakness, and gradually sank
dying yesterday morning at half-past O.
Marguerite Bovenals lethargy was caused
by fright. She had had a child which died
shortly after it's birth under circumstances
which led to the opening of judicial in
vestigation. One day in May 1888 while
Marguerite was ironing. a neighbor said
to her: The gendarmes are coming to
arrest you!
Marguerite had series of fits and gradu-
ally fell into her long slumber.
Marguerite Boyenval was about thirty
six years old, and was a simple French
peasant girl. her mother being the wife of
a mason who abandoned her soon after
marriage. child was born to Marguerite
in May, lSSa. The babe died a few days
later and rumors were spread that she
had murdered it. The police determined
to investigate the matter but Marguerite
sank into her sleep before they began
DIR. Charlier had charge of the case from
the beginning. In 1896 the girl was de-
scribed as being white as statue and as
corpselike mummy her body wasted
away almost to a skeleton and her bones
seeming to be covered with parchment in
stead of skin The body was rigid and
only the pulse beats showed that she was
alive. Life was sustained by washing the
girls body in milk every day and pour
ing a few drops of milk or spirits into the
sleepers mouth through a reed The
mother allowed any one to see her for
small fee. Many prominent physicians WIS.,
tied the patient during her twenty years
sleep.
