The call was immediately countermanded how ever and the mother, taking the little fellow in her arms, was driven at top speed to St. Vincent's hospital in buggy which happened to be in the vicinity.
 Mrs. Barnbaun arrived at the hos7 pital about 10 o'clock The child s condition continued to grow worse un- til death occurred just before noon. His stomach and abdomen swelled to an abnormal size. There were no evil dences of external injuries. It is be- Iieved, however, that Q fractured rib pierced his lungs and that the air fore ed its way beneath the surface of the skin causing the swelling. This, with perhaps other internal injuries, caused death.
 Medical Examiner Godfrey will probably hold n~autopsy to ascertain the cause of the death.
