She was near death from leukemia, the cancer-like disease of the blood-making system for which no cure is known. Manhattan Hematologist Harry Wallerstein took the child to Ossining because he knew that prisoners there were willing to volunteer as guinea pigs for medical experiments.* Chief Prison Physician Charles C.
