MORROW AVOIDS
BANDIT I s BY
BEING LATE

MEXICO CITY. March ga plot
to rob and kidnap United States
Ambassador Dwight w. Morrow was
foiled last week by the fact that
the automobile in whcih he was
travelling. in the suburbs of this
city, was Is minutes late.
The bandits, apparently lying in
wait for the envoy. succeeded in
holding up and robbing about 200
weekend travellers on a sharp bend
on the Puebla highway. There were
more than so in the band of high.
waymen.
Ambassador Morrow had been
paying a visit to Puebla with For
eign Minister Estrada and Third
Secretary Allan Dawson, of the
American embassy. The robbers
carefully timed their appearance on
the road to coincide with the re-
turn trip Of the envoy, but slight
delay saved him from a possible
adventure with Kidnappers.
Passengers on 20 or more vehicles
were robbed by the bandits. and
five young Mexican women are said
to have been carried away by them.
They did not obtain much booty
because two Federal cavalrymen
were quickly on their trail. It Is
understood they were religious rev.
olutionists and that their plan was
to kidnap Ambassador Morrow for
the purpose of obtaining a ransom.
So far as Is known, only one
American was robbed. The wife
of this American, 1t Is reported,
tried to save her jewelry by putting
rings in her mouth. but was de-
tected in her stratagem. The
bandits did not show violence to
any of their victims.

WOONSOCKET, r. l., March rs.
With the marks of Christ's crown
of thorns on her head and the i'm
print of the nails of the crucifixion
in her hands and feet, 23-year-old
Rose Ferron today was preparing to-
die on the same day as the Saviour
for whorl she has such intense devo.
tion-Good Friday. April 6.
For IL years the girl has suffered
from the battling nlalady, an attic
ton with marks of the Passion OF
the Christus upon her body.
Five years ago she took to her bed,
and in the past three years has never
left it.
Today she is strapped to the bed.
the wrist and fingers OF her right
hand being the only parts of the body
that are free. Tightly clenched in
the fingers is a string of rosary
beads, each of which moves 1nces'
cantIy through the day.
Has Taken No Food
One of the strangest features OF
the case Is the fact that the glrl IN
three years has taken no suDstahtIai
food, slipping only water with lew
drops of stimulant added to 10.
On each good Friday or the pas.
three years, she had received the Iast
rites of the Roman Catholic Cnurcn.
Her condition always has been most
serious on that day. Miss Ferron
believes that her death VIII occur
upon the same day that the saviour
died and so will be prepared, as ever
for death on Good Friday, not quite
two weeks hence.
For five years, Miss Ferron mas
received Holy Communion dally
and to this it is that she ascrlDes
her strength to bear up under ner
affliction. Daily the Rev. Father
Vincent visits her and gives hef
the sacrament.
Thousands of persons of all sects
have visited her bedside coming
to pray with her and to receive
a medal of st. Theresa from her
hands.
Disease of Mind.
Medical men have been puzzled
by her case. They have seen other
cases of Sitmata but none SO. puzzl-
ing as hers. The disease Is one
of advanced hysteria. without the
crying and laughing-A disease OF
the mind.
It was prevalent, the doctors say
at the time of the crusades When
religious ferVor was rampant ana
occurred especially around Easter
Sunday.
Only 80 cases of the disease are
on record since the start or Chris

afflicted by the disease.

One Woman Juror
Is Impaneled for
Each Three Men

Washington women appear to
be taking seriously the oppor-
tunity granted them by the re-
cent change of the law permit
ting them to serve on juries In
this District. At first there were
quite a number exercising their
right under the law to decline
service, but with the impaneling
of the new October juries in the
District Supreme Court it was
discovered that there are 26
women serving. distributed among
the four courts. This means
that there is one woman juror
for each three men and 1t may
not be surprising some day this
month to find a panel composed
exclusively of women deciding
some cases.
The jurors. although impan-
eled in four separate courts, are
interchangeable. and when not
actually serving on a case may
be switched from one court to
another to fill panels.
