There's a little baby, just eight

It looked pretty hopeless - for
a while. Only a blood transfu
sion 'could relieve the ailment;
lack of water in the blood. The
mother's would not do.
So doctors went down to the
county jail where a prisoner was
serving a year for larceny. Under
guard, they took him to the hos
pital. The transfusion was suc
cessful.
The prisoner was back in jail
tonight, but the cell didn't seem
as confining as It did this morn
