TODEATH ON A PEANUT KERNEL|| Is Drawn Into Windpipe as She Breathes and Doctors Are Helpless. TRAGEDY OF SHOPPING Woman Who Gave Food to Ethel Schmitz Mourns ‘With Parents. For two days and nights Ethel Schmitz a tiny girl of three and one- half years gasped and struggled to breathe while surgeons strove vainly to remove half a peanut kerne!] iodged in her windpipe. She died at St. Anthony’s Hospital Thursday night more than 48 hours after the small substance had been ir- haled into the bronchial tube. With the parents Frank A. Schmitz and his wife of 3910 Virginia avenue, Mrs. Emma Hudson is an equally dis- tressed mourner. She gave ithe child the peanut, and although the child's mother was near at the time, and though the child was allowed to eat | peanuts, she is unconsolable ever . the tragedy. Chiig Asked for More. A coroner’s verdict, returned yes- terday, stated that the child died of strangulation. Little Ethel, who was small for her age, accompanied her mother and Mrs. Hudson downtown shopping last Tuesday. Mrs. Hudson said yester- da} that the child begged her to buy peanuts and ate several. Mrs. Hud- son then put the bag away and Ethel asked for more. “If you don’t give me some,” she says the child told her, “I'll have my mamma buy me some.” . To pacify the child, Mrs. Hudson gave her one peanut. In biting one of the kernels in two, Ethel inhaled one of the halves, and began chok- ing. The women slapped her back to relieve her. Medicine Failed to Relieve, She was taken to a downtown phy- sician’s office, but he*was unable to reach the obstruction.

He could not remember that he had done anything wrong and in his changed condition of rhind the idea was repug- nant to him. At first he refused to be- lieve the doctors who told him that he had been held . prisoner on the charge that he had obtained money by fraud. Yesterday he was discharged from the hospital cured not only. ef his physical malady but of the strange impulse which caused his brain to move him to the commission of crime. Obtained Money by Fraud. H. L. Ermatinger, a hatter at 210 North Ninth street, caused Little’s airest July 17 last, alleging ' that Lit- tle obtained money from him on the false statenfent that he was a Mason. After ming ill in his cell at police quarters, Little was taken to the City Dispensary, where phy- stcilans said he was suffering from epilepsy. At the city hospital Dr. Vilray Blair, one of the staff of visiting phy- Sicians, discovered the true nature of the ailment. Dr. Blair put Little under the influ- ence of an anesthetic and cut through rortions of the temporal and parietal bones of the skull. Lifting the bones like trap-doors, the surgeon looked into Little’s brain. * Brain Pressure Is Found. There he found a cyst, or an ac- cumulation of liquids in the form of & round tumor. This cyst was press- ing on the brain in such a way that it impaired Little’s sense of right and wrong and also his memory. With delicate surgical] instruments, Dr. Blair removed the cyst. Closing the flaps of the skull, he sewed them to- gether with silver thread. Next the surgeon notified Circuit At: torney Jones of his discovery of the reason for Little’s moral lapse.. On Dr, Blair's. statement, Ermatinger refused to prosecute Little. MARGARET ANGLIN IS ILL Actress Cancels Dates and Takes Special Train to Chicago. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Nov. 6.—Se-
