MOTHER DIES OF BlOii HEART Death of Baby Whom Physician Physi-cian Refused to Save Causes Hopeless Melancholia. CHICAGO, July 28. The death of Baby Bollinger, tho hopelessly deformed de-formed infant whose life a physician refused to save in November, 1915, is believed to have been responsible for the death yesterday of Mrs. Anna Bollinger, the baby's mother. "After the baby's death." said Allen Bollinger, "my wife fell into a settled melancholy and wasted away. If ever a woman died of a broken heart she did." The baby Bollinger case attracted attention throughout tho country. The physician asserted that if the child's life had been prolonged by an operation opera-tion it would probably have been an imbecile and so crippled by physical defects as to have been a burden to Itself It-self and others.
