the waters OF the gulf
Rock is used, which is brought 10
by the vessels and discharged before
receiving their careoes of the products
OF that county.
There is in course of construction
at the present time, stone and brick
buildings, stores, warehouses and
dwellings, showing how advantage il
taken by the business people of the
tiourishing Mexican port Of all valu

room OF the Auburn prison at 1920
o'clock this morning. The execution
was successful, not a hitch occurring
in any of the arrangements,
After the execution an autopsy was
held by physicians. t-.- q .,t
Naturally almost the entire atten-
tion OF the physicians assigned To-
hold the autopsy was directed towards
discovering, ii possible, whether the
assassin was in any way mentally ir-
responsible. The autopsy was con-

sawed of through the thickest part of
the skull, which was found to be of
normal thickness and it was the unan-
imous agreement OF the microscopical
examination that the brain was nor
NAL or slightly above normal This
demonstrated to the. satisfaction of
the physicians that in no way was
Cznlgosz's mental condition, except as
1t might have been perverted, respon.
sible for the crime.
The autopsy was completed shortly
before noon, when the surgeons issued
the following brief statement:
"The autopsy was made by DR.. Ed
ward A. Sptzka, Of New York, under
the immediate supervision and direc
tion OF Dr. Carlos f. Macdonald, of
New York and DR.. John Germ, prison
physician. The autopsy occupied
over three hours and embraced care
full examination of all the bodily Or
gans including the brain. The ex-
animation revealed perfectly healthy
state of all the organs, including the
brain,

ed the execution were present at the

ings OF the examiners. 4
