BOY GIVES SKIN TO SAVE
SISTER.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. I6.-Sur-
geons at the Medico- ChirurgicaI
Hospital are proud of Edward
Richard Hall. a sturdy little chap
of eleven. who gave thirty squar e
inches of skin from his legs to
save his sister. Mildred Muriel
Hall. seven years old. who was
terribly burned last April.
II was after the mother of the
suffering child had supplied as
many gratis as the doclor dared
take that Edward Richard came
for ward and bravely offered to
undergo the surgeons knife. He
said without finching when he
faced the house surgeon:
You can take it all if it will
only save my mother and little
sister"
The saving of the life Of the
little girl was one Of the most re-
markable cases of grating of
which there is any record. The
child had been so badly burned
that there was scarcely a whole
patch of skin on her little body.
The mother remained three
months in the hospital while sur
geons. time after time. took away
pieces of cuticle from her body
for transplanting TO the burned
places.
Finally. when the doctors found
that they could not take any moro
of the mothers skin. and more

brother, Edward Richard Hall.

square inches of cuticls from his
young legs.

BERRY'S MURDERER UNKNOWN.

NORFOLK. Nov. 7o.--Tbe follow
ing verdict was rendered by a
ICproner's jury yesterday in the
case of Aston H. Berry of Rome.
Ga. who was murdered an his
room at the Fairfax Hotel on
October 70:
We. the jury. fad that Aston
II. Berry came TO his death In
room 42S, at the Fairfax Hotel,
said death due TO fracture of the
skull and stabs in the thro>t, pro-
duced by instruments IN the hands
of party or parties unknown to
the jury"
Three witnesses only were Ok
amined. including Chief Boush.
and L. F. Meachah and A. ].
Joyner, the tive latter employees
at the hotel,
Absolutely no clews which might
lead the Jury to NIX the blame were
brought out. the testimony taking
the form of 4 description of the
room.
The police have n well-defined
idea Of who the murderer of Berry
is. and the heads of police de-
cartmcnts all over the country
have been searching in vain for a
trace of him. The theory that
the suspect left Norfolk by a ship
bound for South America is now
to be believed to be the mys-
terry to his quick disappearance.
George II. Berry. father of the
murdered man. arrived in Nor
folk on Monday. and visited Chief
Boush and Coroner Right. He
was not present at the inquest
yesterday. 1t is believed that his
presence here means that renew
ed efforts will be made TO arrest
the murderer of his son.
