panied by Willard d. Straight, of the

SAY BETS, LONG
FUGITIVE, Is TAKEN
Won Success Under Alias
in Chicago, Police Assert
Prominent in Church.

Carlton Fl. Belts, whose financial
methods were called in question in
1894 and who jumped bail after he was
arraigned on q charge of forgery, has
been arrested in Chicago as fugitive
from justice, according to information
received at Police Headquarters yester-
day. Belts, it is alleged, was living in
Chicago under the name of Carlton
Hudson, and had become wealthy as a
financier and built up reputation as
a churchman. AS a fugitive under in
dictment, the charge against him is not
outlawed, even though twenty years
have elapsed.
In the early 90's Belts had large in
terests in this part of the country, and
was the head of several alleged wild
cat" companies. On the complaints of
! many who claimed that they had been
swindled by him, the companies were
investigated and their operations ex-
posed.
Just as the investigation was nearing
completion he was arrested by authori-
ties from Cortland County on charge
Of altering a deed. He was acquitted
there and was Immediately placed un-
der arrest on an indictment here charg-
ing forgery. He then fed.
In Chicago, it is said, he has taken a
prominent part in the affairs Of the
Moody Church for many years, and was
highly respected by both his social and
business associates.
The charge now pending against
Betts is that he forged the name Of
Mrs. Mary A. MCGOWAN, widow, 10 a
check for 1925, but the evidence which
was presented TO the grand jury at that
time purported to prove that he had
swindled her out of at least $4,000.
Mrs. McGowan was the eXecutrlX OF an
estate, and after its affairs had been
cleaned up there remained S3,OOO 10 be
divided between herself and two chill
dren. This money, she alleged, was
intrusted to Belts to invest Accord
ing to allegations, Belts gave the
woman two checks on the account OF
James A. Lynch, drawn on bank IN
Clinton, Tenn. When these checks were
cashed. il is alleged, the bank returned
them saying that no James A. Lynch
had ever had an account there
In proceedings brought by Mrs. Nc
Gowan i'm .he Supreme Court to recover
her money. Belts prodoced check for
SIPS which purported TO be signed by
her. and which had on the back Of it a
,eceipt acknowledging that she had re-
ceived her money. Mrs. MCGOWAN de-
MED signing such a check or receipt,
End il was upon her testimony thai
Betts was indicted for forgery.
Carlton Hudson is also the defendant
in a suit brought against him by Mrs.
Caroline NJ King, a widow, of Mime
lpols, to revoke deed to a business
block there, valued al $4,000 Mrs.
King alleges that the deed was OBJ
taincd by fraud and force. The suit
,Jso involves the validity Of judgment
rotes amounting to Sl20,000.
Belts will be brought to this city
as soon as Inspector Faurot can make
arrangements for his extradition.

DEAD TEN MINUTES;
RESTORED TO LIFE
Patient Passes Away Under Operation and Is Revived
by Surgeon Grasping Her Heart in His Hand
and Pumping It-Three Witnesses.

throbs which send the blood pulsing
through the body of living person.
The arteries responded after a time,
and as the heart expanded and col
lapsed under the physicians manipula-
tion the blood resumed a sluggish cir
culation, receiving, in its turn, the ar
tificial stimulation of the oxygen and
of the movement of arms and chest.
There were minutes of this sort Of
treatment. II seemed like hours to the
workers, and then the faintest respira-
tion as the lungs reluctantly again
took up their burden.
After that the patient rallied with
a marvellous facility, second only to
the unsccountable collapse, and in a
few mir utes was so far recovered that
it was necessary 20 administer a new
anesthetic. that the original operation
might be finished.
The operation lasted more than two
hours, and DR.. Hutchison said this
evening that the patient was in a nor
nal and satisfactory condition, with
the chances in her favor for a complete
recovery.
There are few cases in medical records
in which the application of exterior
force directly upon the heart has been
successful in restoring life after all
visible signs have ceased even TO
trained observers, and perhaps none
where the duration of the stay behind
the curtain was as prolonged as in the
case of Mrs. Akers.
A complete report of the case and
treatment is to be made TO medical
authorities, and it will doubtless throw
new light upon branch of unusual
practice still in its infancy, but fraught
with wonderful possibilities IN its ul-
innate development.
DR.. Williams modestly discussed the
case to-day, and admitted that it was
a revelation in the wonderful response
of an obviously dead body to artificial
respiration. The cause of the original
collapse, he said, could not be positive
ly determined, but probably was due to
the sudden paralysis Of some vital life
centre.
The restoration is perfectly authenti-
Gated by the presence OF the three ply
scians, who all agree that the patient
was apparently dead, their estimates
ranging from five to ten minutes.
A new field of speculation is opened
to psychical students in the restora-
tion.
Where, for instance, was the soul Of
the patient during the period when, as
evidence indicates, Mrs. Akers was
really dead?
The family removed to Los Angeles a
few months ago from Boston, where
Mrs. Akers was we'll known in social
circles.

Los Angeles, Dec. 3.-A modern Won
der of medical science was performed
yesterday afternoon at the Good
Samaritan Hospital, according to the
statement of three physicians. who say
that Mrs. Walter W. Akers, Of 1922
Gramercy Place, wife Of the California
manager for the International Fruit
Products Company. was restored to life
after being dead for ten minutes.
THE raising was not from theo-
retical death, or state of coma, as it is
ordinarily understood" said DR.. P. NJ.
Williams. of 3O7 Brockman Building,
who, with DR.. c. s. Hutchison, of the
Los Angeles Investment Building, was
a principal in the restoration.
Mrs. Akers was actually dead. Her
heart had stopped its functioning;
there was no pulse, the eyes were fixed
in the glare which spells to every
medical man the eternal sleep; there
was no response to the usual tests. The
patient was dead.
"The end came during the progress
of a major operation. The operation
was progressing in due course when
our attention was directed by DR.. W. 5
Holman, who was administering the
anesthetic, TO the woman's complete
collapse-to her death, in fact"
Mr.. Akers, who was awaiting the re-
suit of the operation in an adjoining
room, was summoned, and realized in
stantly that all was over.
Then something happened. The doc
tors went to work Nurses with the
training of the battlefield began the

Jams vigorously applied himself to pro-
ducing artificial respiration, all at first
to no effect.
DR.. Hutchison next inserted his

abdominal wall during the course OF
the operation, slowly, carefully, until
the diaphragm was reached. One hnger
grasped the top of the heart; MS
thumb was at the bottom.
