WOMAN'S DEATH
WAITED TO SAVE
UNBORN CHILD
Protests of Husband
Ignored By Doctors

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 5 0.N.SJ.
Beside the hospital cot Of an ex-
pectant mother, unconscious and
dying from tuberculous meningitis,
nurses today watched for death
that a life might be saved.
When the end comes, surgeons
at Philadelphia General Hospital
Immediately will perform a post
mortem operation to save the I'm
born child Of Mrs. Mary Boccaw-
SIM, 81, despite the objections Of
her husband, Dominick.
To Ignore Protests
Doctors told the husband:
your child Is alive. 1t is our
duty to save the infant"
He pleaded:
'NO, no.
Boccawsini feels, doctors ax-
planned, that if death takes his
wife the baby should go with her.
The hospital sought legal ad-
vice, and Judge Harry E. Kalod-
ner. OF common pleas court, in
structed the surgeons to operate
when the time coD1es. He said:
can unborn child has its
rights. Human life is sacred,
even to an unborn babe"
MUST OPERATE QUICKLY
DR.. John Corbit, resident obste.
trician, will perform the delicate
surgery. He must operate as soon
as the last spark of live leaves
Mrs. Boccawsini. whose span OF
life has not more than "a hours
to run.
A child lives only eight minutes
after the mother dies, doctors ex.
planned. The infant will have a
20-to-1 chance Of living through
the experience and a better than
even chance of not being infected
by the mothers disease.

The trouble with crabs is that
you can't herd them through traf-
fic with any success.
c. w. Thomas, 1880 G St. N. w.,
carrying home a paper bag con-
tanning approximately 100 crabs,
found that out last night when
the bottom of the bag fell out at
Nineteenth and G SITS. N. W., and
the crabs decided to take walks
for themselves.
For half an hour Thomas at
tempted to round up his herd of
crabs without success. Finally, by
instituting a contest among by
ISLANDERS to see who could catch
the most crabs (no prizes offered
just the fun Of the thing) he
succeeded in getting all the crus-
tacesnS into a sweater coat, and
took them home.

She said that she had come
back to Texas with Palmer,
driving from Utah, thinking she
would find her father. But it
was all a lie, like the rest Of the
stories he told me-" she sobbed.
"And why did you leave
Utah?"
"CIint Palmer Is hot In Utah.
He murdered tho more men
there"
She related how Palmer had
first driven into their camp
near Hugo, and how he had
taken a liking to her.
"He begged Daddy to go to
Peerless and live in his fine
house and mind his game cocks.
Daddy didn't believe in him.
Finally I persuaded Daddy to
let me drive there with him, to
look the place over. He prom
ised Daddy he would be back
before nightfall.
"His shack in Peerless was an
awful place. He put me up for
the night at one Of his rela-
tives' homes, and the next day
we came back to camp"
Times became worse. They
couldn't sell their wood at any
price. Palmer kept goading
them, saying, ''You ought to

in 1915. In 1921 he had been
convicted of white slavery In
Oklahoma. Ten years later he
had been sent to Leavenworth
on the same charge. He had
also been convicted Of statutory
rape and other felonieS in Ari-
zona and Montana.
Sheriff Reneau wasn't so sure
now that Lucille Garrett was
safe.
He circulated an alarm
throughout the Southwest. He
traced the fugitive to New Mex
leo, but then the trail turned
north and was lost. The home
of H. P. Palmer was watched,
but to no avail. Rumor after
rumor drifted in, placing the
hunted man all over Texas and
the Southwest. But Palmer re-
mained at large, and the fate
Of Lucille Garrett remained a
mystery.
When the break finally came
1t was sheer accident.
On the morning of March 5,
1885, Sheriff Reneau was at his
desk when Miss Nita Wordy, a
resident Of Sulphur Springs,
dashed into his office. There's
a man down the road between
here and Peerless who ought to
be behind the barsl" she ex.
claimed. Hes stuck in the mud
there with two girls. When I
tried to pass him in my car, he
cursed me for not staying to
get him out. And I saw some
guns in the back of his car"
The officer sat up abruptly
when he heard about the guns.
What does this fellow look
like?" he asked.
IF you ask me, he looks like
that fellow you want for murder
Clint Palmer!"
Reneau summoned Jeff Bra
nom and told him to round up
the boys.
Soon a car loaded with Of
ficerS was speeding along the
muddy roads flanked by wood
lands. Ten miles out a fierce
voice challenged them, and they
saw Palmer in the disabled car
with the two girls. He was wav-
ing a rifle.

From here you enter the

usually spacious and covered
with marble so smooth that it is
hard to stand upright.
PULLS OUT ARMS
"In the center of this room,
which we have called the heart
Of the baths, there is q square
stone Of marble, porphyry, and
very fine serpentine, a palm
thick, longer than the height of
q man, and two palms from the
ground. It is set on four beau
tlful marble balls.
"As soon as anybody arrives
they are invited to stretch them
selves on this stone, and one Of
the servants mounts with his
feet on your back and pulls out
your arms in a certain manner
peculiar, to them. .s

car broke down and Palmer
made his peace with Garrett.
Some time later I learned that
Garrett and his daughter had
moved to Texas"
SHERIFF RENEAU wired to
~ nearby Identification bureaus
for information on Palmer, then
called on MacGarrett, brother
Of billiard, in TuSkahoma. The
brother accompanied him to Sui
phur Springs, where he imme-
diately identified the remains as
those Of billiard. The dubbed
foot and a crooked finger were
enough to convince him, he said.
What do you suppose has
happened to Lucille?" he asked
anxiously.
II think she's safe" the Off
Ger replied. "UnlesS I miss my
guess, Palmer has abducted her"
Soon three dispatches arrived,
replies to Reneau's appeals for
information about Palmer. They
contained some sensational de-
tails.

victed of rape in Mitchell county

"You might as well surrender.
Palmer!" Reneau shouted. "You
haven't got a chance"
Come and get me-" he re-
torted.
Reneau decided to split his
forces. He deployed two of his
deputies through the woodland
to gain a position on the other
side of Palmer. It was agreed
that the two groups would con-
verge on the suspect at the ex-
piration of Is minutes.
The interval passed, then the
sheriff called out, Palmer, I'm
coming after you. Your only
chance is to surrender"
Palmer clutched his gun, ap-
parently ready for a death
struggle. But in that instant
the thanking party closed in
with a rush.
81 surrender!" he shouted.
'"Then drop your gun"
He did so. you've nothing
on me, sheriff." he muttered.
Reneau ignored Palmer and
approached the two girls. "Who
are you, young 1ady?" he asked
the younger one.
She hesitated, then replied,
I'm Lorena Smith"
'And you?" he asked the
other girl.
I'm Helen Smith. We're sis

Immediately the younger
girl uttered a shrek. HE

Public Baths Also
Very SumptuOus

Lady Mary Montague, said Of
it:
"Those that were or had
been married placed themselves
around the room on the marble
sofas: but the virgins very
hastily threw off their clothes
and appeared without other
ornament or covering than their
own long hair braided with
pearl or ribbon. Two Of them
met the bride at the door, con-
Quoted by her mother and an
other grave-faced relation.
"She was a beautiful maid Of
about II, very richly dressed
and shining with jewels, but was
presently reduced by them to the
state Of nature. Two others
filled silver gilt pots with per-
fume, and began the process
sion, the rest following in pairs
to the number of 80.
The leaders sung an epitha-
lamium, answered by the others
in chorus, and the two last led
the fair bride, her eyes fixed on
the ground, with a charming
affectation Of modesty. In this
order they marched around the
three large rooms of the bath.
A curious tale is told about
Sultan Mahmud I (1730-5D,
who apparently was In the habit
of amusing himself with mem
bers of the haren' in various
ways. According to one visitor.
one Of his little Jokes was as
follows: Having stationed him
self secretly in a window over
looking the baths, he would
await the arrival Of the girls,
who would all be given a
chemise according to custom,
imagining that they were the
same as usual.
But the willy sultan had had
all the stitches removed and
the material tightly glued to-
gether. The doors were then
locked, and the sultan watched
developments as the heat and
moisture did their work. Some
of the girls laughed with sur
prise as the dress fell away in
pieces, but others were very
angry.

the great majority of the palace
personnel spent such a large
and, to them, important part of
their lives.
One Of the earliest accounts
in existence Of the public baths
was written by BaSsano da
zara, who was in the employ of
the seraglio and took many trips
in all parts Of Turkey.
He writes:
eat the entrance is a room
shaped like a church. In the
middle there is usually a beauti-
full basin Of fine marble, with a
fountain Of four jets, around
which are high seats made of
brick and covered with a rug or
tapestry. On wishing to enter
and take a bath one must first
speak to the custodianS of the
bath, who are stationed around
the walls Of this room, and then
to the cashier, who sits in a
corner on a stool.
when this is done you may

You must be careful not to be
immodest, for shameless ones
are beaten and thrown out of
the baths.
when undressed, you make
your clothes into a bundle and
place it on the seat with your
hat, cap or turban which you
wear, on top. Your clothes will
not be safe unless you have

the cuStodians Of the baths
themselves will steal your purse
and other belongings.
Before you take your shirt
off they will give you a long am
pie towel to cover yourself. Hav.
ing then covered yourself, you
enter the first room Of the bath,
where there are always about Is
servants varying with the size
Of the bath, some shaving, some
kneading the bones, some wash

From this you pass through
several rooms, all Of different
kinds, each hotter than the last,

But there was no reunion be-

Palmer admitted two killings
but denied numbering Lucille's
father. However, a jury at
GreenVille found him guilty and
sentenced him to 80 years.
AS he was being led from the
courtroom, he shouted:
"An innocent man gets 90
years in the penitentiary and
they know as well as 7 do that
I'm not guilty!"
But around Hopkins county,
Texas, they are quite sure that
justice has triumphed-if q bit
late, since Palmer appears to
have been just ano tn er sex

INSTALLMENT VII

Since the earliest times in
Turkey, public baths have been
found in every village and town,
and the royal seraglio palace
has ever had its 80 or more bath
ing halls furnished in lavish
luxury.
The bath, in fact, enters
deeply into the life Of every
Turk, both male and female,
from the highest to the lowest.
And so, to describe one bath
in Turkey is, to a large extent,
to describe them all.
To begin in the sultan's pal
ace, all its baths were heated
by water introduced under the
floor on the Pompeian system,
or else merely distributed to the
various wall fountains on diff
ferent sides Of the room.
FEW RUINS LEFT
In some cases, so great is the
state of ruin today that a few
broken pieces of marble are all
that remains among the debris
to show where a bath once
existed.
OF the baths in the harem,
apart from the sultana's bath,
the only remaining ones are
those leading off the courtyard
Of the harem girls and similar
ones I discovered hidden away
among the ruins of the so-called
girls hospital.
Remains of marble decoration
on the walls give us a slight idea
Of what they were originally
like. The rooms are very mar
row, allowing of no central
plunge basin, but merely a series
Of wall fountains.
The Sultan's bath and the sui.
tana's are the only ones in the
seraglio in good repair today. 1t
was at these baths that the
harem and the mems quarters
met.
The sultan's bath consists Of
