SLIGHT HOPE NOW
FOR THE RECOVERY
OF MRS. {. c. WALKER
Wreck Victim Cured of
Pneumonia, But Is Still
in Grave Danger.

1t will be almost a miracle II Mrs.
Mary f. c. Walker, principal of the
Gage School, RECEIVERS from the in
juries she suffered in the wreck of the
Federal Express at Bridgeport, accord
ing to her brother. w. w. Chase, home
from visit at Mrs. Walkers bedside in
st. Vincents Hospital, Bridgeport.
Il have begun to have some faint
glimmering of hope" said Mr.. Chase
this morning. THE pneumonia which
attacked Mrs. Walker last Sunday has
disappeared, but 1t left her fearfUIly
weak. The grave danger now seems
to be from the Internal injuries she
suffered. and these are now more in
evidence since the pneumonia was
cured. The patient is also recovering
from the concussion of the brain she
suffered"
Mr. Chase said that Mrs. Walker had
derived much comfort from the presence
in the hospital two days of last week Of
Dr. Mary Parsons, of Washington, Mrs
Walkers own regular physician. 1t was
at Mrs. Walkers urgent request that
DR.. Parsons went to Bridgeport for a
time.
Last Tuesday Mrs. Walker seemed so
low that DR.. Parsons and the Bridge
port physicians gave up all hope and
notified her brother that the end must
occur that night. But Mrs. Walker fell
into sleep and was perceptibly better in
the morning.
1t now is evident that Mrs. Walker
was either not really paralyZed on the
left side. or that she has recovered from
that paralysis.
