this city, is the mother of three
days old daughter which she insist
ed was born 116 days or less than
four months. after she had given
birth to a son. Her story is prac-
tically vouched for by DR.. Geo. T.
Moslon. a reputable physician who
attended her. Both parents are a
few months over 20 years old. Dr.
Moslon said to the Associated Press
tonight that he believed the woman
story.
THE child is normal" he said.
"and | saw the other child, who is
apparently not more than four
months old. showing as yet no signs
of a tooth. Mrs. Wiltse told me that
no physician attended the other birth,
though one was sent for and her only
attendant was a woman with whom
she boarded, but whose present ad-
dress she does not know. Mrs.
Wntsas mother and family vouch
fo- the truth of her story, and share
in lie surprise occasioned by the
ph nomenon."
