Deaths Door For 50 Hours In Morphine Poisoning Case
Clarence Zimmerman of 2609 E Tennh St endured over 50 hours at death's door after morphine poisoning. He was subjected to electrical shocks, punches, wet towel slaps, and forced wakefulness while heart stimulants were given. His condition improved around 4 a.m. Saturday with rest. His brother Walter later claimed sulphonal was given, though a pharmacist noted timing and contents. Zimmerman had recently quit a job at Adams & Raymond's veneer works and sought railroad work. A local aunt recalled illness preceding the event. Relations deny a theory of attempted death by self action.
