lNHERlTs CORK LEG OF cHum
Poor California Man Now usea Limb
&. That Carried More Fortunate
Friend.

San Francisco.-AWhen I am dead
and gone you shall have my leg to
walk on, jim"
This is what Henry Marsh once said
to his old friend, James W. Phelps.
And it has come to pass, for Phelps
i called at the eoroner's office recently
on crutches, but walked away without
them.
Years ago Marsh and Phelps became
friends. Their intimacy grew out of
the fact that each had met with an
accident which deprived him Of the left
leg.
Marsh was successful and was able
to buy an expensive artificial leg tn
get about on. But Phelps, always poor,
was compelled to hobble about on
crutches.
Occasionally Phelps would call on
Marsh at the latter's home on Sunday
morning. Quite often he would Dor
row Marsi.'s artificial leg and 20 for
% walk. Meanwhile Marsh would sit
at home reading until Phelps returned
Those were days Of delight, for
Phelps.y So It was one Sunday thai
Marsh promised him his artificial LEG
on his death.
Marsh shot and killed himself July
II at his cigar stand. II was plain
case for the coroner and the public ad
ministrator.
Phelps claim to the artificial leg so1
his dead friend was established to the
satisfaction OF the authorities, anG
now he has disposed Of his crutches.
