terday Mr. Bingham had an awful
siege of lung trouble so serious, In
deed, that he despaired of his own
life. County Physician Stiles was
called, and after a careful examina
tion announced that the man's lungs
were not In the least affected.
Seeing that his last hope had about
fled, Bingham contracted a bad attack
of heart trouble, and again Dr. Stiles
made a flying trip to the Jail. After
another careful examination, In which
the prisoner's heart was found to be
performing its ordinary functions, the
doctor looked over his glasses at Bing
ham and remarked, "You're a fake."
