last New Years Eve with q party of
friends, several of whom celebrated the oc-
casion by very reckless and lndlscrlml-
nate discharge Of firearms. He was finally

then died. His brain was removed and
dissected, and in the cerebrum, just back
of and above the optic nerve pistol ball
was found, considerably fattened by it's
passage through the skull and the interior
of the head.
