Charlotte, May 14—Physicians today indicated that Mrs. A.A. Barron, who fell 10 stories from a window in the Hotel Charlotte yesterday, would speedily recover and probably leave the hospital “within two weeks.”
The woman, wife of a physician, lost her footing while watering flowers and crashed through the window to the sidewalk below. She suffered only three fractured ribs, an examination disclosed. Mrs. Barron never lost consciousness and chatted with her husband a few minutes after the accident. When the physician, in an effort to avoid any nervousness, told Mrs. Barron she had only slipped and fell in the room, she calmly answered: “You can’t fool me. I went out the window.”
