LIES IN OPEN SHED
SEVEN COLD DAYS
Louis Cr0na, Claiming Residence In
BrattIeboro, VIII Lose Legs, Re
suit of Exposure

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. Feb. 21-
With both feet and legs as far rs the
knees frozen solid. his mind at times a
blank from long exposure in an open
shed near ReadSboro. VT. Louis Crona.
81. claiming a residence i'm Brattleboro.
Vt, was brought tn the North Adams
hospital Sunday morning. He was found
late Saturday night by a party of work
men III the old shed near the Rcadsboro
depot and to all appearances was life
less. He was given first aid by Dr.
Walsh of Readsboro and then rushed
over the mountain roads to the hospital
here. DIR. Il, u. Stafford, who was called
into the case when the man reached
here, declared that in his opinion the
feet cannot be saved and as soon as
the man has sufficient strength ne will
be operated on and the legs will be am
putated.
As Hear as can be learned. the man
had lain where he was found for more
than seven days and the thermometer
much Of that time has registered from
II to 26 degrees below zero.
The case is one of the worst ever
treated at the local hospital. How the
man came to be in the shed he cannot
state, it is said, but he had been exposed
to the intense cold without food for
seven days and that he is still alive to
tell the story, is the marvel of physi-
clans who have his case in charge.

supreme court today. The court found
him guilty in several counts on charges
of malfeasance. misfeasance and nonfea-

made clear beyond peradventure of
doubt that the respondent was unfit to
hold longer the office of district attorney.
Official corruption is sufficient cause
for the removal of a district attorney, 4"
