The operations Of tire three SUI geons en-

The Autopsy
were watched with the greatest interest by
Others who crowded about the table.
After the examination OF the eyes, the
brain was removed and inspected. Then
the body was cut open and thorough and
complete examination made with the view
OF determining all physiological facts that
could he OF interest IN connection with the
case. The brain was found TO be in nor
nal condition, and weighed forty-nlne
ounces. The heart weighed little over
nine ounces, and was i'll 4 healthy condi-
/ ton. As were all the other internal organs.
At 800 =. NJ the autopsy was adjourned
until this evening, when the brain will be
taken to the Government Medical Museum,
on Tenth street, where Il more minute and
critical examination will be made OF it..
The physicians were disinclincd to 90 into
details in regard to the results thus far
reached. DR.. Hartigan left the jail soon
after o'clock, taking with him Guiteau :
brain. DR.. Godding, who has maintained
! that Guitcau was insane, said when asked
what the result OF the autopsy was, IL have
nothing 10 say now" Another physician
remarked. 1--WE are all knOw-nothings."
A by-stander replied, $50 the unedu-
Gated, non-eXpert public thought at

physicians agree that there were lymph@

mater. None Of them care TO express a
positive opinion until after the examine

that there were many points showing good,
healthy mental and physical developments.
THE RESULT.
The autopsy upon the body OF Guteau,
so far rs can he learned tonight from the
surgeons who were present, may be briefly
stated as follows:
After surveying the body externally
the surgeons proceeded to lay open the
brain cavity and thoraX and to eX-
anime the organs therein contained
The brain was found to weigh 49s
ounces, which is little more than The
weight OF the average human brain. Ii
was well formed and presented no external
evidence OF disease and lesion. The lungs
and heart were in their normal condition,
but there was slight ruiiling in the aortia
in the vicinity OF the heart. The neck was
not dislocated or fractured, as the surgeon
at first supposed. but there was arupture OF
thestoryi cledo mastoidmuscle on both side;
rs well as OF the thyro heyoid membrane
II follows, therefore, that death resulted
from suiiOcatiOn, and not from dislocation
OF the spinal vcrtebra. \ partial cXam
nation was made OF the abdominal yiscera
but il had not been completed ut the time
the autopsy was suspended. The spleen
was found to be considerably enlarged. Its
weight being fifteen ounces, or more thar
twice that OF the normal spleen. The alb
dominal organs. so far as they were exam
med. presented no unusual feature. The re-
mort OF the surgeons who are engaged II
making the autopsy will probably not Dc
ready for publication before next 'dnes
day.
Tho Brain Photographed.
DR.. Hartigan, who had custody OF Gui
teau's brain, took it at half-past 4 O'Clock
TO the Army Medical Museum, on Tenth
street, where, in the room set apart Iol
Photographic purposes, number OF sur
icons and physicians had assembled t(
continue the autopsy. Among those presen
were Drs. Nichol and Macdonald, OF New
! York, and Drs. Lamb, Loring, Savers
Reyburn, Elliot, and eodding,. o
Washington. The direction OF operations
by unanimous consent, was given 10 Dr
Lamb. II had been the intention OF tn
surgeons to begin by making a plaste
cast OF the brain. with n view to per
: manent preservation in that form OF it
