No 3o6 East 1929 street jumped from his cot IN the
Harlem Hospital last night and fought the doctors
who were preparing TO perform an operation on
him. He shouted at the TOP Of his voice that the
doctors would never touch knife to him and
ordered that he be sent home at once The doctors
finding that they could do nothing with the man
assisted his wife and mother-in-law in getting him
into carriage and sending him home
Smith in a serious condition and although
the doctors told him that his would be abso-
lutey hopeless If he should refuse TO be operated
on, he persisted in his objections until they yielded
His wife tried 70 soothe him, but her words had as
little effect those Of the doctors and finally she
too consented TO take him home
Smith is strapping physical specimen six Feet

doctors said that an ordinary person would prob

as Smith already has stood them. They insist how
ever that only miracle will him if he IS not

made 10 take him back to the hospital to-day.
