The St. Louis Republic, April 22, 1900
NOT A DIVINE HEALER
Theodore Schwartz Results To Violence To Cure Paralysis.
As a result of an attempt to cure a woman friend of paralysis, with the aid of tea kettles, butcher knives and hatchets, Theodore Schwartz of No. 1117 North Eighth Street, is in the City Hospital, awaiting the time when he shall become rational enough to explain why he assaulted Mrs. Rachel Frohman.
The City Hospital physicians think that Schwartz's mind is affected.
Mrs. Frohman declares that he threw the tea kettles and divers and sundry articles at her while she was lying sick in her bed at home. He declared by that method he would cure her of paralysis.
Schwartz will be held for observation.Posted 07-26-2021 at 08:58 PM by aliasfinn
