Tlls'plans were to return to Norfolk Saturday night., but he I><>stponed his departure because of some slight indisposition. His condi tion. though regarded as exceedingly grave last night., was not considered entirely hopeless. Last, summer young Lewis was at tacked with typhoid fever. Since that time, members of his family say. ho has complained <>f ^?aiiis in the left side. Mrs. Zieglar thinks it likely that the drug was taken in error to alleviate the pain. One suggestion was that if the strychnine had been taken intentionally, if was because the young man feared befng surveyed out of the naval service for disability. ? Since relieved of convulsions, the pa tient has been iu a state of coma and no coherent statement has yet l>een made. C. E. Owens, M. I>.. treated the patient. I>r. Wiggs, medical of ficer of the navy recruiting service, went at "once to the hospital on learn ing of the young apprentice's illness and satisfied himself that all that (jnuld be done for him was J>cing done. At. the hospital it was said that four grains of the drug had been swal lowed. The young man' was seized with convulsions within a few min utes of the time of .departure from the Zeigler residence for the train at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Previous to his enlistment in the navy, the young man had seen sev eral years of service in Company M, First South Carolina Infantry. Two other brothers, Edgar Lewis of Cam den and Tush M, Lewis of Florence, were member*, of the same company. The brother in Florence is yet a mem ber of that unit.
