than feet tall and the veins stand out on
his hands and ankles in the most natural
way. The wrinkles on his knuckles and on
the back of his hands look so natural that
1t seems one can almost see the skin His
facial expression Is so natural that any one
knowing him in life would easily recognize
him now.
He appears to belong undoubtedly to the
Caucasian race and shows plainly mus
tache. His toes are cramped and pressed
together. as II in life he wore shoes.
He was found lying on his back in an easy
and natural position. with his arms folded
across LIS breast, as II he had received a
decent burial
