twin" died at York hospital tonight
at 10:20 (EST.) hospital of flea Is said.
Oodlno, who was surgically Revered
from his Filipino brother, Luclo, after
the latter died of rheumatto fever
Nov. 24, had been recovering rapidly
until 24 hours ago, when, doctors dis
closed tonight, he took a turn for the
worse.
They declined to state tho cause of
death, but his ailment had been re
ported by docton earlier in the eve
ning as cerebro-splnal meningitis.
The twins, both married vaudeville
performers, entered the hospital Nov.
i7, when Luclo was taken Hi with nn
sllmcnt diagnosed as pneumonia.
His condition became critical, while
hla brother, Joined to him nt the
hips by a segment of tlssuo 24 Inches
in circumference, remained in ap
parently perfect health.
. When Luclo apparently was recov
ering from his illness and SlmpUcta
was fretting about having to lie In
bed awaiting hla brother's full recov
ery. Luclo die suddenly of rheumatic
fever.
An operation supervised by Dr. H
M. Werthelm was performed within an
hour after Luclo'a death severing the
tissue connection, and It was viewed
as successful principally because the
brothers had separate blood and nerv
ous systems.
Since then, Bimpllclo had remained
In bed awaiting the healing of the
wound. Doctor declined tonight to
comment on the sudden appearance
of the meningitis symptoms, saying a
report on that might be made later.
