to Hannibal, Mo.
Schuessler, In denying the report of his
death, admitted that he had received a
close call and had. In fact, been placed
upon the slab In an undertaking estab

to move a muscle or utter a sound, he
was conscious of what was going on
around him. t
Schuessler remembered' nothing of the
accident, excepting that he missed his
footing in going from one car to another.
His senses finally came to him completely
when he was on his way to the morgue.
He arose from the slab, hunted for his
clothes, put them on and then commenced
