anyone to make decisive statement upon
1t as an actuality. Two things, however,
have been established in medicine beyond
q possible doubt; that needles travel in
the human body, their course and speed
being determined by the muscular action.
"The general trend of needle in the
human body is variable, but there Is no
reason to presuppose that needle cannot
move In any direction. In the same way
1t can travel in definitely in the body, pro-
viding It does not touch a vital spot. Such
q case as this may have occurred and
could occur, think, without fatality to
the mother"
II IS claimed by those in the law that
circnmstantial evidence is, frequently
ST niger than lirect evidence. In the ex-
traordinary case of Mrs. Schwing and the
Il ansition of the swallowed needle into her
baby, which savors bit of sleight-of-
hand, there is no direct medical evidence
to support her contention, such as x-ray
photographs and such. She consulted no
physician at any time regarding the
needle, was not examined or under OBJ
servation and consequently there is no
history of the case and no photographs.
But her husband and all others who
know her verify her story to the extent
Of their knowledge. They recall the day
that she swallowed the needle, and her
complaints from time "a. time Of the dis
comfort she experienced from its presence.
Since the birth Of little Charlotte. about
fourteen months ago, the mother has had
no Indication whatever Of the presence Of
the foreign object BY a natural method,
which almost passes understanding, the
needle left her body. That che was
delivered Of the baby and the needle at
the same time seems plausible from the
constant suffering Of the child from birth,
which condition was Immediately relieved
the moment the needle was removed from
her shoulder. From baby who had cried
almost constantly day and night she was,
by the removal Of the needle, trans-
formed into CHEEKY, smiling, happy mite,
TO the obvious relief and joy Of her de-
voted parents. Aany conservative men
Of medical science viii shake their heads
dubiously, but circumstantial evidence can
apply TO medicine a. well 90 to the law.
The medical history Of patients who
have swallowed needles h considerable
and interesting, although In all the vari.
Gus eases recorded there ID not one SINH
lar TO that Of Mrs. schwing.

In his eminent on the case, DR.. Reg
inald Knight Smith, Of San Francisco,
IA needle might make the journey
which the woman has ascribed to Il with.
o Il trouble. The needle could penetrate
the stomach wall, enter the Intestinal
tract, go through the other Internal
organs and passing through the membrane
which protects the. infant, lodge In the in
fant itself without causing any more than
a local peritonitis.
There would be discomfort more or
less at some time during such q process,
but not enough to cause the mother acute
suffering or to arouse alarm in her. The
i.5tion Of the intestine would be to draw
the needle downward, and no general
peritonitis need follow It's perforation of
the stomach wall or subsequent membrane.
"The needle is not driven In the human
body, but rather Is guided by muscular
action and therefore subject to erratic mo-
ton according to the locality In which Il
is lodged. Such thing as this is, of
course, highly improbable, but all things
are possible In medicine and this could
have happened without fatality TO either
mother or child"
DR.. H. A. Stephenson, prominent San

Bastian's attention. In two months she
had managed 70 swallow thirty-four more;
and between that time and her death in

only six came out.
The ffty-fve needles all came out on

could the physicians fnd any evidence Of

curious circumstance. To this day the
