newspapers. From the report of the autops,
the following is taken:
Brain Membranes-Thed ura mater was quit
strongly adhered in places to the inner surface
l of the skull, viz: Near the trunks OF the Ion
gitudinal arteries, so near thstrunks OF longl
tudinal senius in front, but could be stripped
clearly from the bone at all these points OF at
tachment, as there was no roughening OF thu
skull here or elsewhere. There was no exu
dalton on any part OF the inner surface of the
dura mater. Quite number OF granula
tons were distributed along the course Of the
senius. The cerebral senius contained but little
II any blood. The dura mater, pia mater and
brain were adherent to each other on both
sides. Along limited portion of the longi
tudinal assure adjacent to the pacchionian
granulatiions arUhnoid there were very well
marked milky opacities OF arachnOid but no
apparent thickening. extending over the up
per portion Of the convex surface OF the
hemispheres only. AS elsewhere the men,
brane was perfectly normal. These opacities
were seen on the upper portion OF the sulci in
this vicinity exclusively and were
such as are often found with
out any previous history Of disease. The
sub arachnoid space contained very little
fluid; the pia matter was easily stripped from
| ali parts of the brain. The blood vessels of
the me mbrsnes and brain were empty and the
general appearance ofthe brain was an@nil or
bloodless. Both these conditions can be
readily accounted for by the unfortunate re-
moval of the lungs and heat and severing of
the large blood vessels by l3r. Lamb before
the brain or its membranes were exposed or
examined; and on this account nothing of i'm
portance was attached TO this condition as the
blood that was in the brain at the time the
au tOpsy was commenced had an opportunity
at least OF making its exit. into 1.-THE chest
cavity. A sufficient examination was made OF
the large blood vessels to determine that they
were in healthy condition.
Brain-Entlre, with portion of dura mater
attached, it weighed 49k ounces, about the
average weight for an adult male. Just how
much more 1t would have weighed had it not
been drained of Its blood and had the scales
been more delicate, we are unable to say, but
certainly it is safe to assert that 1t would have
been considerably more. The consistence Of
the brain was normal. Its specific gravity and
the measurements of its chords and arteries
could not be obtained, owing to the lack of
facilities. There was no apparent symmetry
OF the two hemispheres as regards contour and
shape. Exact studies were not made and the
comparative weights OF the different parts
were not obtained.
Cerebellum-This was well covered. The
occipital lobes were not noticeably blunt or
sharp.
Drs Hartigan and Sewers say in conclusions:
1--WE desire to state that wewere not in accord
with DIR. Lamb in the order adopted by him in
making the autopsy. We did not object at
the moment for the reason that it had been
agreed that he (Lamb) should do the cutting
and after this agreement we did not feel at
liberty to interpose an objection at the very in
slant of beginning the work, with number
OF gentlemen present by invitation to witness
the operation. We thought then and think
now that the brain should first have been
opened and examined instead OF which the
first incision made by Lamb was in the region
of the heart. When the thoracic cavity
was laid open we had no idea it
was the intention of the ope-
rator to sever the large vessels
which must necessarily be cut in the removal
of the heart before the examination of the
brain was had. The cutting of these vessels
was the work OF an instant and was done be-
fore objection could be interposed. That the
brain has been cut into pieces ana parts dis
tributed, and this before its examination un-
der The nucaocospectre. 1t was done with
out consultation with or authority from us
and furnishes another instance of what has
been apparent all through this proceeding,
viz: An unwarranted assumption Of authority
and responsibility by DIR. Lamb.
