Patrick McAndrews, who lived
somewhere near State and Forty-Sec

ty hospital about three weeks ago,
suffering from o complication of dis
eases. He died soon after reaching
the white cot in the ''hopeless" ward,
and his body was duly laid away 10

Fifteen days passed, and nobody came
TO call for the corpse of Patrick Mo
Andrews. Then, as is the custom, the
body was given to the College Of
Physicians and Surgeons. and ar
rangements were planned for dis
section.
The lecture for which the dead Nc
Andrews was to furnish material
called for the head. chest and arms Of
an adult male. Attendants In charge
of the subjects" severed McAndrews'
body at the waist. and took the up
per half TO the dissectinR- noom. Here
the ghastly section of the dead hu-
manity was laid upon the table. Gov
cred with n sheet. and left TO await
the coming of the class and lecturer.
The lower half OF the body was i'm
mediately burned. and in two hours
time all that remained of McAndrews
was the half upon the table, waiting
for the scalpel.
just as the lecture was beginning
word was brought that McAndrews'
relatives had appeared and claimed
the body. An understRker from State
| and Forty-first street was already nt
the door. and preparations were be.
ing made for the funeral at Mean
drews' home. No objection was made
by the college authorities. to the
prompt surrender of the body. but "a
thorough search failed TO locate the
lower half Of the remains. The at
tendant who had burned the missing
portion told what he had done. and
there was CONSERVATION around the
college.
At this point the ingenious under
taker came to the rescue. "Giye me
the apper half Of the body" said he
Then get me about so pounds Of
bricks" The bricks were brought
and the lower part Of the coffin was
filed with them. McAndrews' upper
section was put In place, and the un-
dertaker drove away.
A day later McAndrews' funeral
took place with all propriety. and
none but the undertaken and those
who helped him at the college knew
