Because, as he alleges, his back
was nlistered and scared by hot wa
ter pans while he was a patient at
the institution, Emmett l.. Major. in
surance agent. residing at ana West
Main street entered suit for $1,000
Yesterday against the Retreat for the
Sick. through his attorney. L. O.
Wendenburg, the action being insti-
tuted In the City Circuit Court
Major was a patient at the hospi-
tai last October when he underwent
an operation for some trouble which
rendered 1t necessary for the nurses
to be excluded from the operating
room. While he was on the table.
several iron pans filled with hot wa
ter were placed in his bed to warm
the blankets and sheets. When he
was brought back to the ward fol-
lowing the operation. the attendants
forgot to remove the pans, and so
his back was badly burned before he
recovered from the effects Of chloro-
form.
Physician Makes Statement.
According to DR.. William II. Par
ker. who performed the operation
and attended Mr.. Major afterward.
badly as he perhaps thought he was,
the blistered place being hardly half
as large as the palm OF a mans hand,
Dr.. Parker says Mr.. Major did not
lose moro than two weeks from work
at the most, as a result Of the mis-
hap. and 30 far as ha knew. did not
contemplate any action against the
hospital when he left.
DR.. Parker was all the more sur
prtsed at Majors action because the
Retreat for the Sick IL an institu-
ton devoted largely to charitable
work end Ia anything but y money
maker.
It Is operated under the direction
Of q board OF lady managers, of which
Miss Mary l. Norwood lie chairman.
1t IL owned and controlled by a cor
poration. whose president is Pres
ton Cooke. q Richmond attorney The
Hon. ]. Taylor Ellyson is secretary
and treasurer Of the corporation.
Miss Lottie Thomas, the superfn-
tendent, last night recalled Majors
case very wildly and also expressed
great surprise that he should have
determined to sue the hospital. She
said that but for the fact that Major
underwent what Is known as a screen
operation. the accident would GER
tainly not have happened. The
nurses. assigned to Majors ward, she
said. very naturally overlooked the
fact that the heated pans had been
left In his bed, as a result OF not be-
ing present when he went under the
knife.
In the declaration prepared by his
attorney. Major claims that he under
wont great physical and mental an
guish AZ a result Of alleged careless
moss on the part OF the hospital au-
thoritiss. Furthermore. he claims
that no still bears scars on hts back
to attest the truth OF his allsgntions

burns.

For nearly three hours to-day the

Mr.. Aliens stubborn resistance ia
the demands Of Attorney Pratt to an

Mrs. Jenkins passed Collins sew

meet. When Allen was accompanied
out Of the grand jury by Attorney
Pratt. he got his first glimpse OF Mrs
Jenkins. Ills face blanched and he
kept his gaze steadily fixed.
1t has been said by the customs
officers that Mr.. Allen is willing ia
aid in fixing guilt upon the inspec-

for this understanding. 1t was stated
at Collector Loeb's office that tho gov

sternor punishment. Mr.. Allen based
his refusal to answer on the ground
that by 20 doing he might implicate
himself In a much moro serious
charge than that Of smuggling.

toned through Interpreter Joseph II.

the court that she had Sold him she
wanted the case dropped but refused

warrants unless she intends to prose-
cute them.
