The women had been absolutely

On Feb. 26 the mother went to bed
at the usual time in the evening. The
next morning she could not get up.
The daughter kept on her feet until
the first day of March. She tainted
three times that day! On the morning
Of Sunday, March 2. she was unable
J to get out of bed.
Since then they have laid, side by
side, unable to move. For five days
they have not been able to speak. Their

covering Of skin was left over the
bones.
Nsighbors Call Police.
Saturday at noon one Of the neigh
bors called the police. She said there
had been no signs Of life about the
hoise for over q month. Detectives
Boettcher and Quinn were assigned TO
tho case and told to investigate.
Arriving at the dwelling the officers
found all the doors and windows
locked. There was no response to their
continued pounding on the door.
Detective Boettcher improvised a
'jirlmy," and broke lock on one Of
the windows. Thru the window the
detectives entered. The interior Of the
hous was dark. All tha blinds were
down. There was the dank, cold, and
in deserted houses.

The door Of the bedroom was stand
ing slightly ajar and the room was in
darkness. The officers could barely
discern two quiet forms beneath the
bedclothing.
You go ahead, John" said Detec-
tive BoAttcher. and so the women were
discovered. The movements of thei'
eyes alone showed that life was still
extant. Neither was able to move sc
much as a finger, and neither was able
| to speak.
The aid Of neighbors was enlisted
coffee, was made and the women were
given portions Of crackers and hot
coffee. The younger was able tc
whisper within fifteen minutes. Hel
