The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-10-12

away as the man saw rapidly approach
ing the death he no doubt made desper-
ate efforts to fight off.
One arm. the left one is crossed upon
his breast, the other lays over the stom-
ach. Across the breast and the left arm
there Is a marked indentation as though a
rope had been tied around him. The right
arm is free from marks. If the mans
arms were tied when he was thrown
struggling into the water in his desperate
battle for life, he may have wrenched one
free. Perhaps he freed it in his death
struggle even before his body was sent
to it's watery grave and his assassins.
knowing it could be no longer raised
against them, did not take the trouble to
retie it.
The arms, and especially the hands. are
we'll preserved. On the little finger of the
left hand is a plain gold ring. Every
wrinkle, every vein, every line or the
hands stands out clear and distinct The
hands indicate what the features of the
face do not, that he was a man who had
been used to hard work. The hands are
large, thick we'll developed and the fin
gers and joints show many deep wrinkles,
such as are seen on the hands of labor
ing men.
The face is fine featured. The nose is
small. The eyes are sunk slightly back
beneath a protruding ridge Of the fore
head which phrenologists say is an fndi-
cation of great brain development. The
eyebrows are heavy and are as we'll pre-
served as are the other parts of the body.
A stubby mustache covers the upper Hip
and 1t also is preserved in stone with as
much nicely as If 1t had been carved by
the hand Of a master sculptor.
There is a drop to the right-hand cor

left side Of the neck are contorted and
wrinkled.
The crown Of the head Is bald.
A layman looking casually at the face
and head would picture to himself man
probably fifty years of age, slightly bald,
with gray mustache. blue eyes and
mouth that was ever ready to break into
a smile or which could on occasion rip out
oaths or give orders that must be obeyed.
There is military look about the feat
ures which, however, is not carried out by
the we'll developed and rough hands
In the right breast there is a round cir
cular hole about an inch deep and prob
ably half that in diameter. The scientific
men who have examined the specimen
hardly think the hole Is an indication Of
a wound produced in life. It's edges are
clean cut and it is too large to have been
made by anything smaller than a minnie
ball
The heels are grown together. The left
foot Is broken away near the under side,
but the right one is perfectly preserved. It
Is small. measuring only ten inches in
length. Even the nails are perfectly pre-
served.
Across the upper part Of the thighs
there is a depression such as could have
been caused by having them tightly
bound.
On different parts Of the body are slight
abrasions and the stomach is ragged as
though it had been eaten out.
There are depressions on the skull back
Of the right ear.
Capt. Eigenmann has employed several
attorneys and will fight to keep the pos
session of the body. He says he does not
know what he will do with it,
Several of the citizens have petitioned
the city coroner to take charge of the
body and hold a post norton on it. He
has thus far refused to do 1t. He saws he
is not good stone mason.
Night and day the body is guarded. and
no one is permitted to handle it except
physicians who have been called in to
pass an opinion on it.
W. H. T. Howe, instructor in the Evans
vile school, who viewed the body, maze
the following statement:
