FLANAGAN'S BODY EMBALMED.
His Brain VIII Be Examined by "a
Brain Specialist.

Atlanta. March s. Dr. ]. L.
Campbell of the State Anatomical
Board has directed Undertaken Pat
terson to embalm the body of Edward
Flanagan, when it will be turned over to
Eclectic Medical College. 1t will be held
for sixty days under the law, during which
time the relatives will have the right to
call for it. Large numbers called at the
undertaker's TO view the body, but were
denied admission. This permission may be
given after the body is embalmed. Flana-
gan's brain had been turned over to DR.. G.
S. c. Pinckney, the brain specialist.
The brain of Flanagan, the DeKalb
county murderer, was removed by DIR. B.
w. Bizzell in the basement of the Court
House at Decatur in the presence of a
large number of doctors and medical stu
dents. There was a difference of opinion
among the doctors as to the condition of
the brain. Some contended that the indi-
cations of a diseased mind were marked
Others said there was nothing unusual 20
be detected. All agreed that it would take
a microscopic examination to finally de-
eide the matter DR.. Bizzell will put the
brain in hardening solution, when it will
be cut into sections and examined under
the microscope. 1t will take three weeks
to complete the Investigation and to de-
termine whether Flanagan was par
anoiac or not.

Has Travelled Through Many COun-
tries and Had Many Adventures.

HIS Travelled Through Many Coun-
tries and Had Many Adventures.
j. D. Herlitz showed up at the office of
the Swedish consul J. L. Rankin, yester-
day, with a hard luck story that is far
out of the ordinary. To a Morning News
reporter. who met him at the consuls
office, Mr.. Herlitz gave some account of
his experiences. He said that his home
is at Wisely, Sweden, and that he is a tax
idermist. Three years ago he left Wisely
for Central America to secure specimens of
animal life peculiar to that section of the
globe. For two and a half years ne wan
dered through all the Central American
countries and Mexico. finally crossing the
American boundry line at Laredo last fall
Most of his travelling was done on foot
there being no railroads in the greater
part of the territory which ne traversed.
Heritz said that he had had considerable
bad luck in Mexico. and when he under
took to leave that country the worst blow
Of all befell him. In crossing the Brazos
river during a freshet his boat was over
turned and he lost all the specimens he
had with him aud all his personal belong
ings, leaving him a stranger in a strange
land and without means. He made his
way slowly to Galveston and thence 10
New Orleans, where he spent some time
and secured some employment at his
trade. Being anxious TO reach New York
he made his way along the coast ana
thence across the country to Savannah.
He desires 10 get TO New York where he
has friends, and applied to the Swedish
consul for assistance.
The man has notes and memoranda of
different places at which he stopped i'm
Central America, Mexico and this coun-
try. He had a very unpleasant expert
ence shortly after crossing into Mexico
from Guatemala The Indians who in
habit that section, while on fairly good
terms with their Mexican neighbors, are
not partial to strangers. Every Indian
keeps a pack of fierce dogs, which guard
his hut at night while the family to-
gether with the chickens and the pigs, are
inside asleep. Happening to approach one
of these huts Herlitz was set upon by
the dogs and was compelled to shoot two
of them. This brought out che Indian
proprietors, who revenged the death
of their dogs by shooting Her
litz He saved himself by
shooting two of the Indians, after
which he made his escape, though he had
received two bullets in his right deg Fort
unately they were only flesh wounds. In
this wild and uncivilized country he was
compelled 20 travel fully month be-
fore reaching a physician, who extracted
the bullets. What with the heat and the
vermin the wound had gotten in very
bay way by this time and he was COM
PEELED to lay up some time at Vera Cruz.
Mr. HerIitz said that he had been sur
prised to find so few museums in this
country, the only one he has found so far
being Tulane University at New Or
leans If any one in Savannah has any
taXidermist work which they wish to
be done he would be glad to serve them
as he wishes to earn sufficient means to
continue his journey to New York.

An excellent method of stacking fod-

stacked. and as long as necessary. The
stack should be quite long In proportion
