CAT NEARLY KILLS
9-MONTHS-OLD GIRL
Lay on Infants Chest and Sucked
Its Breath-Oli-Time Theory
RavivaI
Revived.

ATLANTIC CITY. July l2.--Awak-
ened early to-day by gasping sound
from his nine months'-o daughter,
Harry Walters discovered huge
black cat perched on the chlld's chest,
sucking the Infants breath. Walters
hurled the animal through a window.
The baby was unconscious and
barely alive when a physician reached
the house. The child was not rcsus-
G.tated until half hour later.
The incident. which was verified by
the physician, corroborates an old
and weird tale of cats killing children
by inhaling the breath. The animal
did not belong to the family and
must have entered the room through
an open window. 1t is SAID that cats
in instances of this sort are attracted
by the faint odor of milk in the in
fants breath.
