MAN FASTED FIFTY-SIX DAYS

Hanley of Marlboro Apparently Has Fully Recovered from Terrible Suffering He Endured. Marlboro.—William B. Hanley, who disappeared from Marlboro April 2C and who was found fifty-six days aft erward in a swamp near Westboro in a weakened condition, has apparently fully recovered from the terrible sufferings that he endured. When he was found he was barely able to breathe, and his life was al most despaired of. He was taken in charge by physicians and sent away to Forge village, where, under ths open-air treatment, he was restored to health. He returned to Marlboro the other night, and he is apparently as well as ever. He is as heavy as h< ever was, and eats well and his mine is as clear as a bell. He speaks but little concerning his awful experience, but there is no question that during the entire fifty-six days he went without food. - - ■ ■ Jf. ■
