The ultimate fate of the child is not mentioned.

Smith quotes Wilson, who said he was called to see a woman who was delivered without pain while walking about the house.

He found the child on the floor with its umbilical cord torn across.
Langston mentions the case of a woman, twenty-three, who, between 4 and 5 A.M., felt griping pains in the abdomen.

Knowing her condition she suspected labor, and determined to go to a friend's house where she could be confined in safety.

She had a distance of about 600 yards to go, and when she was about half way she was delivered in an upright position of a child, which fell on the pavement and ruptured its funis in the fall.
