elal report of the autopsy, but il does not |
indicate to whom the report was made,
and II lacks the signatures of Drs, Sewers |
ana Hartigan, who were designated |
by District Attorney Corkhill rs
associates of DR.. Lamb in making the au.
topsy and who were present at the dissec-
ton OF Guiteau's body. In utterances to
newspaper men DR.. Lamb denies these two
physicians having any right or voice
N making the report, and he prepared the
coeument without consulting them in any |
way. District Attorney Corkhill, on the |
other hand, says DR.. Lamb had
NO AUTHORITY
to act independently of the above named |
physicians and the latter announce their |
intention OF publishing another report
winch. will be the majority report. DIR.
lambs action in thus ignoring the other
nhyslclans was n surprise to them and
District Attorney Cofkhill Drs. Sewers
and Harhgan affirm that Dr. Lambs report
olsagrees in many important
points with notes taken by
them and by other physicians present at
the post mortem, but DR.. Lamb has posses
son OF these notes and deolines to permit
the other surgeons to see them The latter
accordingly will prepare their report from
duplicate notes and other memoranda and
from memory, DR.. Lamb in his report
states that 1t is made in accordance with a
request from Rev, DR.. Hicks The report
IS entirely too technical to be inteli.
Die to the general reader, except as
TO the points which have already
been telegraphed, to-wit, that the muscles
OF the neck We're terra asunder, but the
bone was not broken: that the brain weigh
ed iorty-two and one-half ounces, and that
the spleen was
ABNoRMALLY LARGE.
Upon this report the Medical News based
an editorial in which it says that those who
expected to demonstrate the assassin's
criminal responsibility by the changes in
his brain will have rather difficult task;
that II they expected to find such changes
IN the structure of the brain rs attach to
the organs of chronic insane persons they
are certainly disappointed. Some devia-
ton from the typically normal brain are
referred to in the report, but they have alb
solutely no signiication from the point of
view of mental arrangement. 1t may
be affirmed rs to Guiteau's
BRAIN that II presented as little
evidence Of pathological change as the
brain OF any one of his age dying of some
other than cerebral disease What may be
disclosed on microscopic investigation,
which is yet to be made remains to be seen.
Here the opportunities are great for un-
conscious deception and for differences OF
opinion.
