or swelling of the bones. His hands and
feet were greatly swollen and his jaw
was over twice the normal length. The
distance from the frontal bone to the chin
in the ordinary man is eight to ten inches,
and in Rogers this had grown to twenty
inches.
Although a refined and educated man,
he was so sensitive over his appearance
that he withdrew from his friends and
family and lived in barn in an obscure
part of the city. He was taken from the
barn to the hospital in starving condi-
ton, and after his death his brother-in-
law, at Rogers request, caused his body
to be cremated in order that the doctors
might not hold post mortem examina-
ton.
