about TO collapse entirely, and Mr.. Jerome
asked for an adjournment. saying that the
witness had come from long distance and
had had nothing 10 eat, and that she had
begged him TO get her something TO eat
before she took the witness stand. Justice
Keogh turned 10 Mr.. Shearn for his con-
sent.

the recess Mr.. shearn insisted on a court
officer accompanying the witness, and the
court so directed and adjourned for an
hour.
Continuing the examination OF the Merrill

A string Of misfortunes seem to
follow the career of Freddie Welsh,
the English lightweight champion In
this country. First his scheduled
fight with Ad Wolgast was interrupt
ed by an attack of appendicitis which
put the champion under the knife. A
few weeks later Welsh was attacked
by muscular stiffness on the eve OF
his fight with Bobbie Waugh, the
Fort Worth youngster. And last
Saturday came the announcement
that the scheduled fight between
Welsh and Jack Britton, of Chicago,
ON Washngton's birthday, was called
off by Promoter James Cofiroth'
Walsh's physicians say that he Is
suffering from tortlcollois muscu-
laris, which has cff9cted the muscles
Of his back and neck to such an eN-
tent that he is unable to move his
head and has boon sent to Chicago
Santitarlum. where he Will be forces
