WORTH REALLY Ill

STAUNTON, VA, March 21.---Two
physicians have pronounced Albert d.
Worth, the "other man. In the Bos-
serman triangle, to be really Ill. Pulse

normal, and the young mans suffer-
ings are genuine.
On petition of his attorneys, Judge
Ker, of the Corporation court, grant
ed permission for Worth's removal
from the murderer's cell in the coun-
ty jail to hospital It was required,
however, that at Worth's own ex-
pense, a guard should be provided to
watch over the alleged affinity while
he was receiving treatment No one
appeared to guarantee the guard hire
would be paid, and so Worth remained
in Jail. He himself has nothing, 1t
Is said. The only relative he has upon
whom he might depend is his father,
and the older man Ia not wealthy, 1t
is understood.
