was placed in respirator in Peiping
on April !, 1896. A staff of doctors
and nurses was engaged and a grim
struggle to stave of death began.
Since then his father Fred Snite,
sr., head of loan bank system
here. has spent a fortune in an
effort to restore his son to normal
health.
Travelled Widely.
The patient-known as the "smil-

Travelled across two oceans and

boiler" His journeys began in
1887 when he was moved from Peip-
ing to Billings Hospital in Chicago

alone was estimated to have cost
$4,000.
He spent the winters of 1887 and
1887 in Miami Beach and the sum-
mers in his home in suburban River
Forest.
A specially constructed trailer was
purchased at a cost of $4,000 to
facilitate young Snite's travels. In
it he was taken to the Shrine of

May.
His father explained that the
pilgrimage was a thanks Offering"

He has attended horse and dog

Mr.. Snite has improved con-

overcome by paralysis he could
breathe without artificial aid for
only few seconds. At the end of
three years of treatment he could
breathe alone-although laboriously
for a half hour.

Mystery
Continued From First Page)

Sheriff Hall said that if necessary
he would hold Mrs. Daily for ques-
tioning after she leaves the hospital
Meanwhile. the sheriff disclosed
he was looking for an unidentified
man who gave the alarm when Mrs.
Daily was found and rode in the
automobile in which she was taken
to the hospital. The man has not
been seen since, the sheriff said.
Sheriff Hall said there was a
question in his mind whether Mr..
Daily had drowned and whether
Mrs. Daily had been overheard IN
the inlet. He explained the current
was very swift there and said ne
could not understand how Mrs.
Daily could have gotten ashore If
she had been overheard.
She was barefooted, he said, and
declared that if she had scrambled
up the beach out of the water, she
would have had some scratches or
cuts on her teet. There were no
such marks on her, he said.
The Coast Guard continued its
search for Mr.. Daily, but said no
trace of him had been found.
A spokesman at the Coast Guard
station here said boats had been
dragging and patrolling the inlet
and waters offshore almost steadily
since early yesterday He expressed
doubt the body-if Mr.. Daily
drowned-would be recovered.
At the hospital in Salisbury ply
sician said today that Mrs. Daily is
in good condition and recovering
satisfactorily.
Police Chief Lemuel B. Cropper,
stressing Mrs. Dally's words-"he's
in the water"-and the closed on
account of death" sign, said he was
convinced the couple formed a sui
eide pact, probably because of finan-
cial difficulties.
Mr.. Dally's hat, spectacles and
personal papers, as well as Mrs.
Dally's effects, were found on the
inlet jetty. Among the papers were
two passports dated from Germany
in 1922 and a marriage certificate
giving Mrs. Dally's age as 40 and
her husbands as SO.
