Yesterday morning he became the father of the first triplets ever to see the light of day at James Walker Me morial hospital. (The light of day J« used figu ratively. Born two months ahead of schedule, the tiny trio was installed at once in an incubator, where they were reported last night to be flourishing sleepily. Dr. J. Buren Sidbury, their spon sor and spokesman, claimed after examining them at 9 p. m. that their immediate future looked as rosy as their other aspects.) Their mother, the former Miss Madalyn Puckett, of Gastonia, was recovering satisfactorily after her Caesarian operation bul emerging only slowly from the shock of finding out what she had accomplished. Even more befuddled was Mr. Coleman, who had sustained s double jolt. Some more enthusi- ^ astic than accurate informant had met him hurrying into the hos pital as dawn cracked—he had been out of town—and told him he was the progenitor of quin tuplets. Late last evening, ac cording to unreliable sources, he still was surreptitiously counting on his fingers from time to time. The triplets' brother Danny, aged 10, and their sister, Shirley, aged 6, had not been interviewed at press time last night. The ar rival of the newest Goodwins, who weighed in at three pounds, thir teen ounces; three pounds, thir teen and one-half ounces and four pounds, increases the family’s second-generation roster to threi girls and two boys.
