September 23, 1958: Stabbed Negro Cleric Gaining Strength
NEW YORK, Sept. 23
The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a stabbing victim, is recovering so rapidly that his doctors today permitted him to walk a short distance, with assistance. The Negro leader walked 30 feet to a hospital room for an X-ray examination. He was wheeled back to his policeguarded room.
His condition has been complicated by a touch of pseumonia. But doctors said it had been expected and was nothing to worry about.

September 23, 1958: Woman, in Coma 8 Months, Dies
A 30-year-old secretary, who has been in a coma ever since she was struck by a car as she crossed Grand Ave. at Sunnyslope Ave. last Jan. 23, died late yesterday in Kaiser Foundation Hospital. Virginia Strange of 640 Valle Vista Ave., was hit by a car driven by Frank R. Herrera, 22, an unemployed laborer of 355 Myrtle St., according to police, as she walked in a marked crosswalk. Herrera was cited at the time for violating a pedestrian right-of-way. Mrs. Strange underwent brain surgery immediately after the accident and remained unconscious until the time of her death.
