End Came Five Hours After
Surgical Operation—Hurt by
Fall from Wagon in New
Canaan Three Weeks Ago.
But Precise Nature of the ln-
jury Not Discovered Until
Late Last Week
Christopher Jensen. of New (.‘an-
aan, the man with the broken neck.
died at the Stamford Hospital at in
o‘clock, Tuesday night, just about five
hours after i’rof. Dawbarn. of New
York. had performed an operation on
the broken neck to relieve a pressure
on tile nerves of the spinal chord. .len-
sen rallied from the. other. attd for a
time appeared to be holding his own.
Then a very high fever developed. his
heart action became weak, and his life
slowly ebbed away.
Jensen's case was remarkable in a
good many respects. For three weeks
he lay in bed with a ltroken neck. and
seemed to be doing nicely. Three
weeks ago he fell from a wagon to
New Canaan. and broke his neck. The
exact nature of his injury was not as-
certained until late last week. when
he was taken to the Stamford Hospi-
tal. and a careful diagnoais of his
case was matte. He appeared to be do-
Ing very nicely. and at first the surv
genus hesitated to operate. fearful
that an operation might do more harm
than good. A second careful cx~
amination satisfied the surgeons that
without an operation Jensen could not
live more than three weeks at the out-
side. The broken bone was pressing
on the nerves of the spinal chord, and
he had begun to fall victim of grad-
ual paralysis. He was practically help—
less and the surgeons decided that
without immediate operation the
nerves of the heart would soon stiffer
