Head of Fred Hoeliman, the Executed
Murderer, Rt Illinois University.
The head of Fred Hoellman, who was
hanged at Paxton, ILL.,, recently for the
murder of Mrs Gedde in Ford county,
is now in the possession of Prof w. o.
Krohn, of the chair of psychology at
the University of Illinois.
A careful examination has been made
of the brain and skull for certain
demonstrations before his class in
psychology. The brain weighs b2
ounces, and differs in many respects
from normal brain. For example, on
the posterior part, the little brain-the
cerebellum-instead of lying under the
cerebrum, the latter folding down over
1T like cap, protrudes from under the
cerebrum, and is so held by ligaments
that it cannot be pushed back into
natural position.
The fissure of rolando, regular
sigmold line in the normal brain, is
broken and very irregular and entirely
out of form. No microscopic examina-
tion has yet been made, but it is ex-
pected that this will reveal as great
variations from normal structures as
appears from the mere outward form.
The interior of the brain has not yet
been opened
