summoned a doctor who arrived a few minutes too late. Mr. Hannasch had
been in his usual health all day and in the evening spent some time
watering the lawn at his home. A few hours later when his son, Harry
Hannasch, returned from- work for the evening, he told Harry he was
feeling "sick as a dog." This was a pet expression with him
when he was indisposed and Harry gave it little thought, as his father
did not feel sick enough to call a physician.

see how he was spending the night and at 7 o'clock when she went to the
