on his head. Apparently he was not
hurt and resumed his work a few
minutes afterwards. Saturday night
he began acting queerly and friends
who conversed with him believed he
was intoxicated. although he was
never known to drink. He talked in
coherently and told conflicting sto-
ries about being hurt. one of which
was that he was attacked by man
who struck him on the head. He at

been partially under it's influence
when the accident occurred.
