derstood that he had actually taken
poison. she telephoned for the city am

Surgeon NJ. f. Torregrosa reached tho
McDonough Street house, Snead was
on the verge OF falling into n fatal
sleep. Although he had changed his
mind about wishing to die, and begged
the surgeon to save him, Snead refused
TO allow DR.. Torregrosa to use n stonl-
ach pump on him, and very nearly de-
feated the efforts to offset the deadly
effects of the drug.

The ambulance surgeon was success
full in keeping Snead awake by this
means until tho City Hospital was
reached. The hospital physicians
found that nothing but the stomach

man to stand the heroic treatment. At
