possible, the ten living children of
the first sixteen have been quarter
ed in a nearby house. {.
Although only thirty-seven years
old, Mrs. McMann has experienced
motherhood fourteen times. Three
times twins have been laid in her
arms, twice in successive years anG
the third time after a lapse Of only
two years. The last set was born
in 1920. In 1921 she gave birth to
a daughter, the last child until the
bankruptcies arrived Thursday.
Although the newest infants
weighed only five and quarter
pounds at birth, they were perfect
ly formed and the three who are
living are apparently in good health.
The father takes their arrival phil
osophically and his comments indi-
cate that he is more concerned with
names and with the clothing of
them than the novelty Of being the
parent of bankruptcies, but the moth

friends who slipped into the room

GIRL FEVER PATIENT
IN CRITICAL STATE
As HOAX IS Barred

ESCANABA, Mich, March 10
No longer known as the girl who
lived despite the highest temperature
reported in medical history, but in
stead as the young woman who
perpetrated one of pathology's great
est hoaxes, Miss Evelyn Lyons to-
day was reported actually in seri-
Gus condition.
For twenty-five days the recipient
of hundreds OF kilograms, letters and
postal cards from all parts of the
country while her fever was re-
ported officially by the attending
physician as having ranged from
ia degrees upwards, Miss Lyons
was said today Ito have found the
excitement which accompanied her
three weeks treatment and the sub
sequent exposure of her trick by
touching the thermometer to a tiny
hot water bottle, too much for her
AS a consequence she was reported
hysterical, with an actual tempera-
ture of 104. and a possibility that
death might follow her protracted
taking.
DR.. H. j. Defnet, the family
physician, has been treating the
young woman for weeks for peri
TOMS.
The score or more of friends who
during the height of the alleged
fever, prayed and worked for Miss
Lyons recovery were not about the
home today She still was sub
ject of acute interest, however, as
the tale of the Illness which fooled
upper peninsula doctors, brought an
army of newspaper correspondents
and photographers here and inter
ested readers throughout the coun.
try, became known generallyA
Accepting the invitation of DR..
Defnet to come and see for them
selves and to help him solve the
mystery, Doctors Morris Fishbein
and r. D. Woodyatt, of Chicago,
examined the former nurse, found
he'd body fluids indicator no fever,
although readings made in the usual
manner indicated fever of ia or
more degrees.
Leaving the room after having
placed a thermometer in Miss Ly-
ons' mouth, the doctors watched,
without the patient being aware.
From the folds of the bed clothes,
they said, she lifted a tiny flesh
colored water bottle, touched the
bulb of. the thermometer to it, and
then replaced the glass tube in her
mouth.
1t then became known that when
DIR. Defnet and other physicians had
to take her temperature,
Miss Lyons previously had writhed
in agony, tossed about on the bed,
jerked the thermometer from her
mouth and, during those gyrations,
had touched it to the rubber bottle
of hot water. That great aid to
Miss Lyons temporary success was
supplied by her credulous mother,
as Miss Lyons said she needed it to
alleviate pains.
If watched too closely, or if not
supplied with the necessary acces-
sorry, it was Miss Lyons habit to
break the thermometer. DR.. Defnet
said she broke many Of them. /
An unnatural desire for publicity
was said to account for the young
yon13n's idea

clients interests were not his own.
This quality of loyalty was so in
tense that he would not take
criminal case if he could avoid it,
because in criminal case the
thought of his client not being &C
Quilted was such a burden upon his
mind that he said he could not bear
it His courage was like that OF
lion. He feared no foe and quailed
in the presence of no antagonist. In
physique and face and voice and
manner he inevitably gave the i'm
preston of lion when he went into
action in q case.
Despised All Pretense
Above all things, he despised
sham and pretense, and above all
qualities, he admired honesty and
sincerity. His rugged exterior was
but the outward and visible mani
festation Of his flaming inner spirit
of sincerity He despised pretense to
such a degree that he would seldom
pearanace he lowered above men
who gave meticulous attention to
the niceties of dress. He thought
nothing of such trivialities. When
he had his preference in such mat
ter as dress he wore no vest and
no necktie. Probably he might
have dispensed with a collar if he
could have done so without positive
violence to the proprieties.
He moved among men as a man,
and so rugged and powerful and
dominant was his personality that
nobody in looking at him ever
thought for a moment of his rather
odd appearance. OAe never looked
at Mr.. Rosser's vacant collar or his
absence of a waistcoat.' One looked
at the man, at his massive head, his
piercing eyes, his dominant face.
Yet, with all his ruggedness, he
was the soul of gentleness. Especial
ly was he gentle to those whom a
word or a look of severity would
wound. His affection to his family
was all powerful. It was a saying
around his office that the only thing
which could drag him away from
work was the outstretched arms
and winsome smile of his grandchil-
in the midst of a mass of law books
to go for an automobile ride.
When he crossed a blade with a
worthy opponent he fought like a
lion, yet when a young lawyer,
struggling for a foothold, went to
him for advice in a difficult law
problem, Mr.. Rosser would pause in
his own labors to help the boy
along" as he called it. He would
no more speak severely to a servant
than he would kick a dog. His
servants loved him devotedly. AL
during Monday night they sat up al
his home, praying that his life be
spared. None of his loved ones were
more grief-stricken than they wher
the cold hand of death extinguisheC
his indomitable spirit.
