Death of "the Man without Feet"

Death OF 1.-THE Man Without Feet
The death of Little johnny" Corbett at
the age Of %, a noted character who has
been an inmate of the Almshouse since an
infant, was announced on Friday. He was
what would popularly be termed freak,
being only about three feet in height and
with diminutive legs which eurled up under
his body. the joints Of the hips, knees and
ankles being stiff. He was known as 1.-THE
man without feet" His parentagt is un-
known, and there is no reason to doubt that
JohBny's detormity existed at birth, accom-
panied by rufture in the side, the strangu-
laton of which resulted in peritonitis and
caused his death after two days illness.
Johnny was unable 10 make use of his
hands except to sustain himself in an up-
right position, which he was obliged TO con-
tinually shift. He possessed an amiable
disposition. and his terrible deformity made
him an object OF sympathy and favorite
among the officials and inmates Of the Aims
