NEW YORK, May For five
days physicians were unable to de-
eide whether little Veronica Nc
Cam was dead or alive. On the
filth day it was decided that the
little girl was really dead, and the
burial took place.
Veronica Mccain lived in tene-
ment district of the west side.
Since her second year she had suf-
fered with a heart disease. She i'm
proved under treatment, but sud-
denly a strange malaGy attacked
her and after several days she ap-
parently died.
DR.. Henry Frazier declared that
her heart had stopped beating and
she had ceased to breathe. Two
days later, when the family and
their friends had gathered for the
funeral services, the priest looked
into the little white coffin and not
ed with surprise faint color in the
cheeks, and that the child's lips
were red. The priest took the
body from the coffin and discov-
cred that it was not rigid. The
limbs were flexible, though the
body was as cold as ice. Physi-
clans were called, and though they
declared the child seemed dead the

terday he went into Chief Waller s
office with tale about someone
wanting his money. He broke in
upon the chiefs solitude with the
remark, We'll, you wanted me
and here | am I'll surrender. Here
is the money" Then he surprised
Waller by counting out $3.50 which
he had tied up in a sack. He seem
ed satisfied then, and was about to
go when the chief told him he had
better wait awhile That was yes
terday afternoon and the man still
sits around headquarters, evident
ly content-but always expectant.
His case is a conundrum.

condition of the body was most
unusual, and the funeral was post
poned.
After a time the color began to
fade out of the cheeks, the lips to
wither, and the body stiffened. The
physicians were about to order the
funeral, when Mrs Mccain, who
was in hysterical state, suddenly
emerged from the room where the
child's body lay, and declared that
little Veronica had spoken to her,
saying:
81 am not dead. Do not let them
bury me-"
Again the burial was postponed
and the doctors made another in
vestigation. While Mrs. Mccain
stoutly held to the story that the
child had spoken to her. the physi-
clans believe that the woman was
laboring under an hallucination.
Just before the burial it was
noted that the strange coloring of
the face had entirely disappeared,
and there were other signs that
led the physicians to believe that
the child was dead.
Some friends of the family in
sist that little VerOnica's life was
not extinct for two days after the
body had been placed in the coffin.

made him even on the sale of the
silk article. Old revolvers brought
