PRISONERS OFFER
BLOOD DIOR WOMAN
Two Men in District Jail Save
Life of Young Mother
at GaIIinger:.

The story of how young mother was
saved from death at childbirth through
the sacrifices of two prisoners at the
District Jail was revealed at Gallinger
Hospital today, where the woman is now
convalescing and on the road to COM
plete recovery, although the baby, a
boy, died a few minutes after birth.
Mrs. Lulu Branson, 26-year-old moth
er of six children. was brought to Gal
linger Hospital early yesterday morn
ing in a critical condition. Shortly after
her admission to the institution, hospital
physicians decided the only way to save
the young mother was by blood trans
fusions.
The call for volunteers was immedi-
ately sent out and when word reached
the District Jail, which adjoins the
hospital, two prisoners, Phillip Manson
and Edward Taylor, offered their blood
to save the woman. The men were taken
to the hospital and after their blood
tests proved them acceptable, submitted
to the ordeal Three transfusions were
performed and according to DR.. Edgar
A. Bocock, superintendent of the hoSpl-
tai, the mother, who would otherwise
have Succumbed, was saved.
Mrs. BranSon. who came to this city
a short time ago with her husband and
family from Charles Town, w. Va, lives
at 1913 D street southeast. Her huS-
band, Fred Branson. is employed by the
Carey Ice Cream Co.
