and a call was sent for DR.. Driscoll
of st. GATHERINGS hospital. When he
arrived he said the child had been
dead about four hours. The circum-
stances were explained to him, but
he could not give his opinion as to the
cause of death and referred the case
for an investigation by the coroner's
physician.
1t is believed that the weight of the
cat on the child's breast prevented IL
from breathing and caused the child
to be slowly smothered to death. The
animal was merely seeking a warm
place to sleep. There is belief that
cats draw the breath from infants. but
little credence is given to this.
