 "The count authorizes me to say that having considered the situa- tion with great care he is ready to give an undertaking not to return to Winfield House nor communi- cate with his wife so long as his wife does not desire. He feels that whatever his own wishes may be, that in the circumstances this is the proper course to pursue. hope you will think this a proper ending to a most unhappy and most dis tEessing case"
 1 Are you satisfied with that?" asked the magistrate, turning to- ward the wife's attorney.
 "Yes, I am satisfied" said Sir Patrick Hastings.
 And upon that, you ask me to al- low withdrawal of the complaint" asked the judge.
 "Yes," said Hastings.
 Judge Is Happy
 "This seems a most desirable termination of the case" said the judge. Tt is not necessary for me to add anything more."
 Twill you allow me to make one explanation?" asked Hastings. You may remember at the last hearing, MT. Birkett asked some questions which may have given the impress sion that the count was expressing the view that Winfield House was not a proper house for child to be brought up in and some reference was made to mysterious person I have spoken to MT. Birkett and he tells me that there was nothing further from his intention and that all the count intended to suggest and the only thing he had in his mind was that wealthy surround ings were not suitable for a child

 It had taken just six minutes to bring the case to it's premature end, and leave the count and countess to disentangle themselves from the disaster to their marriage. !

Use of the ''iron lung" has re-
 ceived considerable publicity

 become involved. A severe condition of this kind sometimes necessitates placing the patient in an'iron lung", which serves to do the victims breathing for him by forcing the natrual mus cular movements by mechanical means.
 Even more difficult are those cases in which the muscles con- cerned in swallowing become par alyzed, so that collections of mu- GUS or other material in the throat cannot be swallowed. This interferes with breathing, and also with the taking of nourishment.
 In certain cases there may be seriouse involvement of the upper portion of the nervous system, so that the child is delirious, dull, drowsy, or even completely un- conscious. Obviously, the greater the amount of involvement of the nervous system, the mroe serious is the case concerned.

fendants demur to the information on the ground that they were un- aware a conspiracy existed to de- fraud the city, as charged by MT. Alcorn.
 No New Demurrers
 No new demurrers can be filed, as yesterday was the deadline set by Judge Inglis. In superior court at Waterbury today, however, John c. Purdie, New York detective un- der arrest on the conspiracy charge, withdrew that portion of his re- murrer filed yesterday in which he sought protection by che statute of limitations.
 Informed circles were of the opinion today that counsel who filed the demurrers would submit them to the court without argument, and on briefs. Attorney James D.. c. Murray, counsel to Mayor Frank Hayes has already followed this course.
 More Rulings Expected
 There is possibility that before the week is completed Judge Inglis will rule on several other motions which he took under consideration last week, and which are yet un- decided.

 Ousting Drive Continues : Meantime, the New Deal drive against Lonergan continued in full force. High-ranking state leaders were reported conferring with Reps Herman P. Kopplemann, Hartford, three-term congressman and down the-line" New Dealer.
 Major developments were expect ed in the next two weeks. By August l, it was said, New Dealers in Connecticut would know pretty q dcfinitely whether they had a c nance to defeat Lonergan, an anti c,urt bill senator and administra- ton opponent on several occasions.
 If the "go-ahead" decision were made, it was understood, New Deal backing would be grouped behind one of three candidates now in the field-Kopplemann, former National Committeeman Archibald McNeil, and Dr. Edward G. Dolan.
 Kopplemann- -McNeil
 Both Kcpplemann and McNeil were expected to be present at a Westport dinner tomorrow night in honor of Gov. Wilbur L. Cross. No political speeches will be given, ex- cept by the governor, if he wants to.
 The Democratic town committee at Somers last night endorsed the candidacy of McNeil who pledged himself ito faithfully support Pres ident Roosevelt"
 Lonergan, McNeil told the com- mittee, ignored the wishes and in- structions of the Democratic voters who sent him to Washington. Either we are with Roosevelt and intend to support his program or we are with Lonergan in his opposition. This is the question for us to decide"

NSOAltAAtuOA AAOAAA eS6S ~ Friday night.
 The Federal Bureau of InveStiga- ton which has solved all the coun- try's major Kidnapping except this ont and one other, and which has been seeking the kidnaper contmu- ously since the Mattson child was stolen Dec. 27, 1886, was taken com- pletely by surprise. Federal agents joined state police in questioning Olson and soon afterward Cole made his second announcement.
 Arrest by Accident
 State patrol officials represented Olson's arrest as having resulted from the sheerest accident, brought about by Olson's conscience.
 Last Friday night, they said, Ol- son, a huge man with muscles tough ened by farm labor and term in Walla Walla penitentiary, appeared at the farm of Phillip Schooler, near Ritzville, and begged for something to eat.
 Olson had been employed on the wheat farms of the countryside and Schooler knew him. He invited him to the family supper table. All dur ing the meal, he talked of having been in prison and of wanting to re- turn. He said also, that he had been involved in a crime and his con- science was hurting him. Suddenly he blurted:
 T want to talk to some policeman who will keep me from mob."
 Schooler notified state police.
 Looked Like Suspect
 Arrested, Olson was taken to the Adams county jail at Ritzville. There, 1t was said, police officials at once recognized his striking resemblance to an artists drawing of the Matt son kidnaper as conceived from the description given by the only persons who saw him-three children.
 Saturday morning, he was inter- rogated intensively, state police off, cials said. Finally, he broke down and wept. Then, with stenographer present, he made one confession, they said. This was that he had been involved in the crime but had not been the actual kidnaper and killer. Later he made a second confession, authorities said, in which he said he had strangled the child after stealing him from his fathers home in Tacoma. He insisted he had had an accomplice. The man whom he named was arrested but authorities did not reveal his identity.
 Today, Olso was being held in a Tacoma hotel where he still was be- ing questioned.

THE FAMILY DOCTOR
Paralysis May Come Gradually, Or Suddenly, Without Warning
(This is the third of a series of six articles by Dr. Fishbein eii infantile paralysis).
T. M. REG. U. s. PAT. OFT
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN rAt4or VorruaI nf the American

infantile paralysis).
 BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American
 Medical Association, and of
 Hygeia, the Health Magazine
 Usually when a child gets infan- tile paralysis, there is stage called the preparalytic stage. Such chil- dren have fever, with some signs of involvement of the nervous system, and then, on the third to the fifth day, the appearance of paralysis. The paralysis may extend, involving more and more muscles, for from 24 to 36 hours, after which the spread of the paralysis will stop. By the fifth to the seventh day, the temperature will be back to normal.
 Some 75 per cent of cases of in- fantile paralysis are of this type.
 There are, however, cases which are not typical. In such cases the paralysis may come suddenly, with out any sign of fever.
 During the period that is called the preparalytic stage, tn child will have, in addition to the fever, some headache, and some pain on bending of the neck and of the back. At this time there are fre- uuently changes in the spinal fluid, 50 that if the doctor obtains some of this fluid an examination of tt may helf him to discover the na- ture of the condition that is caus- ing the trouble.
 Another sign to which the doc tor will pay attention is tenderness of the skin, the muscles, and the joints. Excessive irritability in these tissues is usually associated with inflammation of the nerve roots at the front of the spine. AS such children are usually quite sick, they may perspire freely; they may have rapid pulse and perhaps also a sore throat.
 Unfortunately, the severity of the early symptoms is no indication as to just how severe the paralysis which follows is going to be.
 By the third or fourth day, al- though sometimes sooner or later, comes the evxidence that the tis- sues of the nervous system have been seriously involvd. Grad ually some muscles iwll become weak. A loss of motion will be determined perhaps in the arm on one side and the leg on the other, or perhaps in some other tissues of the body.
 Among the most difficult cases are those in which the muscles of teh chest which are concerned in
