COMES TO LIFE AGAIN.,
Coroner Was Preparing for an Au
topsy, but Corpse Protested.

New York. June 29.-Arrangements
were being made for an autopsy on
the body Of Simon Greenberg when
the supposedly dead man sat up and
objected so Coroner Jackson took his
ante-mOrtem statement instead.
Five doctors had said Greenberg
was as good as dead. and had gone
their several ways, and four persons
had been arrested on the charge Of
manslaughter.
Magistrate Pool had sent the prisO-
ners to Coroner Jackson for the in
quest. but the coroner declined to re-
Celve them because the victim had
'regained consciousness. as the pO-
lice blOtter put it. They were sent
back to court, where the papers were
revised to meet the new conditions.
Just what allied Simon Greenberg is
still in dispute, as the usual tests ap-
piled failed to show life in the body,
but Coroner Jackson and his brother
were making other severer tests Just
before the autopsy. when Greenberg
sat bolt upright and protested. He
may recover.
