the little white pills to the child. Then, while Saul went home to get
some sleep, he continued his almost hopeless battle to snatch a baby's
life from between the grinding jaws of death.
Got Back Just in Time.
But when he got home, Saul couldn't sleep. He tossed around on the
bed, a prey to a strange hunch that something terrible was about to
happen to the Doc. Finally at 6 "a. m, he got up, dressed and went
over to the Italians house o see how Doc was getting along. And he
didn't get there second too soon!
As Saul went in, a piercing shrek came from somewhere in
the back room of the house. Saul says he knew that Shrek meant
trouble, but he wasn't prepared for what followed. He ran into
the sick room. The Doc stood in the center of the room,h his
face banched white, while. facing him, the little Italian brandished
a bread knife and wildly accused him of killing his child with
poisonous" pills.
The Italian lowered the knife when Saul entered the room, but he
continued to scream and rage, threatening to kill them both for the muir
der of his child. And Saul knew, by the look in his eye, that he meant
every word he said.
Saul knew too that if he didn't want to see the Doc killed and maybe
be killed himself, he d have to work fast He had an idea in mind, but
the risk involved in carrying it out wa almost as great as facing the
griefcrazed Italian with his long knife.
Saul Had a Bright Idea.
How many pills did he give the baby?" he asked.
"One" the Italian replied.
"one pill killed your baby" Saul Asked incredulously. THAT isn't
possible. Look-IN take all these" He picked up the bottle. poured
out a handful of the narcotic pills, and swallowed them. IF these pills
are poison and killed your baby he said, then III die too"
And nobody but Saul and the Doc knew how close to death he
was at that moment. A single n oft those pills "a soothing and
harmless. But Saul had taken an overdose-enough to kill and
kill quickly unless anidotes were applied.
It twas all a question of how convincing Sauls act had been to the little
