 Dr. John L. May was called to at- ttnd the injured man, and short time later Medical Examiner Michael H. Scanlon arrived on the scene and assisted in caring for Stenhouse, who was rendered unconscious by his fall At first it was planned to carry him to the Backus hospital in Norwich, but it was finally decided to take him to the home of his mother, Mrs. John Stenhouse. of Newton avenue, where he has since remained. If no internal trouble develops, it is thought that he will recover from his injuries.
