MAN ASKS TOO MUCH FOR
SUBMITTING TO OPERATION.
Three Volunteers Needed for
Skin=Grafting in Orange.

Because of the high price he named
for use of his flesh, a young man, who
volunteered at Orange Memorial Hos
pital yesterday to have skin from his
back grated to the back of Andrew
Visconti, 10 years old, of Orange VAL
ley, whose body WAS scared in a fire
at a workshop. the physicians were
compelled to decline his offer. There
win be required ut least three volun-
teers before the burned back of Wis
cont can be covered. As the father
of the injured lad is head of a family
of twelve children. he is not able to pay
very much for volunteers. The hos
pital folk told the applicant that if
they paid him the price he sought the
charge for three men would be too
high.
II the meantime the injured lad con-
tinues to get along. The hospital au-
thorities say, however, the wounds
cannot close unless skin is secured,
and they are hopeful of getting Nolun-
teers to submit to the skin-graft opera
ton in order to have his life. There
will be pay given for the service. also

REpUDIATES CONFESSION
WHICH MIGHT SAVE MAN.

WARREN, Pa, Aug. 4-Stella Hodge
has repudiated again the confession
which she made in Philadelphia two
months ago, in which she said she mad
accidentally killed Emile Amann, and
that John NJ. Andrews, who stands in
the shadow of the gallows because Of
the crime, is innocent.
Two confessions by the Hodge woman
conflict greatly. Until recently she had
insisted that she accidentally fired the
six shots that ended Amann's life on a
lonely country road neal Warren on
January q last. She made this con-
ression one week after Andrews had
been convicted of ~first-degree murder.
Mrs. Hodge says that she was taken
from Warren to Philadelphia by De-
tectives Max and Till and thai later
they took her to Atlantic City. There,
she said, she was drugged n liquor
was given her, and while thus infu-
enced she was made to sign the con-
fession clearing Andrews.
