Richeson, that he might die in the electric chair for the murder of Avis
Linnell. The surgeons have filed suit against the estate of Fred H.

Spineless Youth Able to Work in the Fields.

Living and even working, although his spine has been removed, is the
remarkable experience of William Banks, 18 years old, who lives in the
southern part of Chester County, Pa. The young man labors in the fields
every day, and despite his handicap he can do as much work as his fellow
workmen.

His spine was removed by Philadelphia surgeons, when tuberculosis
developed following an injury. It was declared he would never be able to
