Claims No Quarrel
Watson told the police there had
been no quarrel. He said the man
was a former school mate who had
been in his session room at Technical
high school but whose name he did
not know. Watson denied the police
suggestion that il was a quarrel over
a girl. Then Sergt. Wilkerson re-

said. Robert appeared worried about
something today. He did not eat any
breakfast. Perhaps he did not feel
well. I think he was a member of
the Khan, and that may have caused
the trouble"
Louis A Kaufman, a carpenter,
who was building the garage near
where \the stabbing occurred, declared
the two men were laughing and talk
ing together and he heard no quarrel
He left for a minute and returned
in time to see Watson stagger and
the other man run. This statement
was verified by others who saw the
two men talking together before the
stabbing.

Officials said they learned that two

First Such Case

According to authorities in obstet-
RIGS. there are many cases on record
where premature babies have been
saved by incubators, but this is be-
lieved to be the first time an infant
taken from its mother at such an
early date has lived more than few
hours.
The theory has been that babies are
not viable until three months before
the date for normal birth.

tor at w. Michigan st. and Dandy
Trail, unwittingly ided in the es-
cape Of the boy thought to be the
murderer Of Robert WATSON, 10. who
was fatally stabbed Thursday morn
ing while in the rear yard of Charles
Corners grocery, 221 n. Richland St,
was told TO police today by Arthur
After the stabbing occurred at II
a IN. Thursday the slayer is said TO
have been pursued by four boys and
a number Of men, all Of whom claimed
the man escaped in the weeds in
a field south of Washington st. and
west Of Harding st.
II was busy Thursday night and
did not read the newspapers, said
Arthur today, but when 1 heard peo-
pie talking about the murder / got
a newspaper and then 1 recalled the
man who asked me for a ride.
II had been to the Kingan Company
and was driving west on Washington
st. 1t was between II and 11:15 a. m.
Thursday. A tall slender young man
about 10 or 20 years old ran from
the sidewalk on the north side of
Washington ST., and signaled for me
to stop. 1t was about two blocks west
of the elevation.
Mother Dying"
Before I could stop he jumped on
the running board Of my car and said
Go ahead and drive fast, my mother
has had a relapse and they telephoned
me she is dying. 1 want to get home
quick. l felt sorry for him and I
got up my nerYe and drove faster
than I ever dad. 1t must have been
almost thirty-five miles an hour.
When We reached the street one block
east of the end of the W. Washington
st. car line, he said Thanks for the
ride. please let me out 1 stopped
and he ran south"
THE man, when he got on my car,
seemed extremely nervous and was
painting as if he had been running"
declared Arthur. He did not tell $me
where he lived or where he worked
He said his mother had been i'll three
or four weeks and she seemed to be
in a more serious condition. but that
he went to work any way and had
just received a telephone call that she
was dying.
Description of Man.
Arthur said he did not think the
man wore a coat. The people who
saw the stranger talking to Watson
and also persons who pursued him
sad the man wore a blue shirt and
blue coat. All agree the man wore
cap. All say he was about 90 years
old, slender, and about feet 10 inches
or six feet in height He weighed $50
pounds, il was said
The information given Sergt Will
kerson today by Arthur does not
disprove the story told by Ray Harris,
127 Minker St. who soon after the
stabbing said he and a man en-
rloyed as a molder attempted to halt
young man who ran west on Wash
ington st. under the elevation. The
man drew a revolver, Harris said,
and ordered him to stand back"
Then the man ran west and the pur-
suers told the police they believed he
escaped in the weeds in8 field near

What to Eat and Why
A Natural Supply of Vitamin

The word "Vitamin" is new, but
the thing itself is as old as the hui
man race. It is the energizing,
vitalizing, growth-producing element
in the right food Its absence IS
serious fault Of the wrong food. When
the food is right, there is no need to
go to the drug store for Vitamin.
Grape Nuts, the famous ready-to-
eat cereal, supplies the natural Vita
min from the wheat, and a further
supply is included in the cream or
milk with which Grape Nuts is eaten.
