He was standing behind the cigar
case, and picked up a heavy glass
cigar jar, which accidentally dropp-
ed from his hands on top of the
show case. The plate glass in the
case is about eight feet long and
three wide, and it was shattered
from one end to the other, a piece
of the glass flying up striking the
palm Of Mr.. Vick's right hand, cut
ting a severe cash, from which the
blood flowed rapidly. DR.. Stabo

blood was checked. A large artery
in the hand was cut, and the doctor
said it would have been only the
matter of a few minutes more and
Mr.. Wick would have bled to death.
