When about half the distance had
been covered, Waller suddenly choked
and fell into what appeared to be fit.
Purdy not knowing the cause Of his
commissions, called to the driver of the
hack to turn his team and convey the
two menyto the Midland hotel. BY the
time the hostelry was reached. wal
ler's face appeared almost like that Of
dead man. His agony was intense,
but he was unable to explain what
was the matter with him.
A physician was summoned. but 1t
was nearly three hours before Walters
suffering was relieved. The man was
then placed in head-down position
and shaken violently. When a sud
den coughing spell followed. the niys-
terry OF his illness was explained.
According to the physician who was
called in the case, il Waller had not
coughed up at the time he did the
teeth he had swallowed, he would have
lived only a few minutes longer.
