This Prisoner May Escape Be?
cause of Ossification of
the Neck.
IT COULD NOT BE BROKEN
And the Rope Would Cause the
Prisoner But Little
Discomfort.
(Uy Associated Prose.)
CHICAGO, October 0.?Because of a pe?
culiar freak of naturo, Robert Gardiner,
a prisoner In the county Jail here, charged
with the murder of Agues Morrison, may
escape tho death penalty. When he was
arraigned In court to-day his attorney,
William Buoknor, startled tho court by
turning to Assistant. States Attorney
Brour and nay In?: \ ' l
"This Is a cnso*wiier6 It won't do you
any good to iiek for the death penalty.
They can't break this man's neck If they
do try to hang1 hltn, nnd you may lose
him altogether by hanging him, and fall?
ing to exoculo the sentence In full."
It appears that the prisoner is suffering
from ossification of tho vertebrae and
tissues of tho neck. According to Pro?
fessor Stiiffoniion, of Hush Medical Col?
lege, only five wises similar have ever
como to the notion of the medical pro?
fession. Gardiner, who wus formerly a
cashier, carries hin head tilted forward
and slightly twisted to one side. Ho. Is
unnblo to move his head or Inclino It,
except with* great effort, and Is hardly
able to eat or speak, owing to the effect
of the ossification on tho sympathetic
membranes of the throat and bronchial
tubes.
Attorney Btickncr declares that the
hardening of the bone and tlssuo has
proceeded so far that It would bo Im?
possible to bring any strain upon tho
patient's nock that would be stiillcioiiTly
severo lo cause any discomfort other
' thnn a sllghl straining of tho, muscles.

denth because they feared that thoy had
eaten a cabbage worm.
WliQn tho attention' of Professor Sur?
face was called to this Incident, ho said!
"Such a worm Is sometimes found In
cabbages, but it Is absolutely harmless.
A few yoars ago the belief that It was
poison was so prevalent In Iowa that
ninny farmers stopped planting cabbages.
ProfosHor ?, H. Summers, State Zoologist
of Iowa, to prove' that tho worm or
snako, as It Is sometimes called, is per?
fectly Innocent, ato of them In the pres
enco nf witnesses, eat it as Professor
Summers did."
"Will you eat him alive?" ho was
asked.
"Yes, I'll cat him ulive," tho professor
replied, laughing.
