MUSICAL HEART MAN DEAD.
Examination Discloses That Organ
Was Four Times Normal Size.

Elgin, H., May 1s.-Herbert E. Brown.
1.-THE man with the musical heart whose
melodious pulsations had for years fur
nished him a livelihood and physicians a
subject of much fruitless speculation, died
at the Sherman hospital here today of
pneumonia
A post-mortem examination revealed
the fact that Browns heart was four
times normal size. The musical sounds
that came from it physicians attribute
to a peculiar disease of the glands. The
heart was steadily increasing in size, and
disease must soon have caused death.
Brown was % years old and for years
had attracted much attention, exhibiting
himself in museums all over the country.
AS an attraction supplemental to his
unique interior, Brown had himself elab-
orately tattooed. his body from head to
foot being a mass of designs.
