Mr. Keith had seen the deceased in an alley' between J and K Sts. about midnight the night before and she had called to him saying she was sick and needed help so he took her home having known her previously. She was vomiting continuously and he gave her some milk to settle her stomach. She finally fell asleep and was still sleeping when he left for work in the morning. When he arrived home from work she was still in bed and when Keith tried to awaken her he couldn't so he called the hospital and Dr. Gish and a nurse, Mrs. Jacqueline Baker responded.
