The Body of Prosper Chazal, Turned
to Wax, Makes Possible His ldea-

Chicago. March 31.-The mysterious
body in the box has positively been
identified as that of Prosper Chazal, the
Identification being made possible by a
phenomenon so rare in medical annals
that its occurrance under the present
circumstances is looked upon by ply
sicians as almost a miracle. The phe-
nomenon referred to is the formation OF
adipocere. or corpse wax, which in this
instance has formed in large quantities
and has partially preserved the body TO
such an extent that what, under ordln-
arv conditions would have been form
less mass of decay. can be recognized by
well known marks as the body OF
Joanes Prosper Chazal, murdered In
Salt Lake City three years ago, it Is
claimed. by a man known TO the French
population of that city as Jules LAS
