By the Assoctated Prees. COLUMBUS, Ohio, September 11.— Convineing work in his amateur sword-swallowing act at a _local theater result in the way of thrills for his audiende but threatened to end dis- astrously for Jack Hill, 24, of Edge- field. Hill swallowed the sword all right— a ninench case knife, but in his stomach the knife remained until surgeons removed it at-a hospital several hours later. Apparently Hil's act went over smoothly, ending in a demonstration in which the knife disappeared down his throat. He bowed as the audience applauded, then left the stage with- out restoring the blade to view. Fully aware of his predicament, Hill went to a hospital. An x-ray revealed, the knife, the blunt end down and the point plercing his esophagus. Through an abdominal incision the blade was removed and except for incidental shock has caused no harm. Hill will recover. Dr. James Hutchins Baker Dies.
