Miss Lucy Berry, of Latta, Hies After Months of Unconsciousness. v The following is from the News and Courier of October 17: Miss Lucy Berry, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elias Berry, of Latta, died Saturday at the Roper Hospital after having been continuously in a state of coma for more than eighteen months. The J. M. Connelly Company sent the body to Latta, where the funeral services were held yesterday. Although many visitors to the hospital and many school children had visited Miss Berry at the hospital and had even given her flowers, her case was not known to the community at large, though whisperings of it had been heard from time to time. Before Miss Berry was brought to Charleston for treatment, nurses said, her family, in the belief that she was the victim of a hypnotist, had experts of the various schools of hypnotism try to arouse her, but none of them could. Physically Sound. Local physicians are quoted as saying that in their belief she was suffering from a most unusual form of hysteria. Physically, she was sound, but her mind was uninterruptedly in a state of coma, from which she refused to be aroused. She was more nearly conscious for i r re [ have o f Hors that has number right.

Just two days before she passed away, she was observed to turn over in bed and sign, "Oh, my." It appears that for weeks on end she was never heard to articulate at all, apparently sleeping soundly and naturally. In the circumstances, it was necessary to feed her, but even this operation did not appear known to her. Miss Berry was thirty-nine years of age. It is not known locally just how long she was in a state of coma before she was brought here for treatment. It is reported that she had been sleeping for more than two years.

No matter what happened near her I in. the hospital, she was always at j peace. Days came and went, weeks came and went, months came and went, but her condition continued the same. Many ways of arousing her to consciousness were tried, but all to no avail. From time to time, members 01 the family circles visited her at the hospital.

AIRMEN GO ON EXPEDITION, Several Towns Raided and Ten German Planes Downed. With the American Army, Northwest of Verdun, Oct. 18, 8 p. m.? More than sixty American bombing aviators today attacked Bayonville, Buzancy and other towns north of the American line at Grand Pre. Escorting planes downed ten German machines. This is said to have been the largest enterprise yet carried out by an ail-American flying force. More than four tons of bombs were dropped by the American aviators, the bombers paying particulai attention to Bayonville, where a concentration of German troops had been reported. Buzancy received its share, owing to its importance as a railway town and the supply depots there. In the region of Bayonville twenty Fokkers attempted to drive off the Americans, who kept the upper hand everywhere. The Usual Thing.

Never Conscious of Them. Time after time children appeared at the hospital and appealed for permission to see "the sleeping beauty," and it is said that at one time the authorities were in a mood to suggest that visitors stay away, although Miss Berry was never conscious of their presence, or, if she was, she never betrayed herself by any visible or audible sign. Physicians and nurses have displayed a most active interest in the case and the medical authorities are of the opinion that hysteria of an extraordinary quality was responsible for Miss Berry's condition.
