Deaf mute George Berry speaks after train accident
George Berry a deaf mute of Shawnee Oklahoma Territory was struck and run over by a Katy train Friday and severely injured. He recovered speech after twenty hours unconsciousness and asked for water becoming the first intelligible utterance since childhood. Doctors call the recovery remarkable amid serious head and leg injuries.
