opnrR TO rXHUME HA0AMAN's BODY.
Assistant District Attorney Garvan OBJ
,.;nsd from Justice O'Gorman Of the
Supreme Court the order to exhume
ne body of Hagaman, who died at
he Waldorf-Astoria on Sept. IL, 1900,
ss,er an illness Of two months. in which he
Tas attended only by his wife and Maurice
Wills one of DR.. Flowers brothers-in-
law, and Or Joseph b; Head, an employee
niFlowers While i'll Mr.. Hagaman turned
o 81 MS MS money to his wife and she gave
$4,000 of it to Flower. Mr.. Caravan has
~, We, decided when he will disinter Haga-
man remains, but when he does he will
have an autopsy performed by Coroner's
Physician Schultze and a chemical analysis
made Of the viscera by Prof. Rudolph
In making his application before Justice
O'(;ortnan Mr. Caravan said that II was
made in view of the peculiar financial re-
atons Of said Hagaman. the deceased,
and his wife. and in view of the peculiar
medical treatment Of said Hagaman by
said Flower, Head and Willis, and in view
Of the fact that the cause of death as given
by them is not borne out by their clinical
or medical history OF the case
QUEER THINGS AT THE sIcKBED.
Mr. Caravan said that he had been in
formed that Hagaman, Immediately prior
10 his death, was possessed OF means
amounting TO about 81 900 900. which his
wife, Frances F. Hagaman, who Is now
Mrs, Walter +. Delabarre and separated
from her husband. turned into cash under
an alleged power of attorney from Hagaman,
and deposited to her own credit. Mr..
mans death his wife Withdrew from that
sum $4,000 in cash and gave $500, 600 to
DR.. Flower to invest in Blue Ridge bonds.
"a company of which Flower was practically
sole owner and which said bonds were OF
uncertain value
The medical attendance Hagaman had,
Mr.. Caravan said, was confined to Drs.
Flower and Head. DR.. Flower was not
entitled TO practise medicine in this county
and has been convicted in this county for
BY law. DR.. Head was at that time a
licensed physician employed by the Flower
Medical Company. DR.. Head has made a
statement TO Mr.. Garvsn in which he failed
10 give symptoms indicating any sufficient
cause OF death. as Mr.. Caravan has been
informed by eminent medical authority.
TREArMEN HAGAMAN OF.
Dr. Head also stated to Mr.. Garvan
that Hagaman and his wife were the only
patients he ever had in the city OF New
York. with the exception that he prescribed
for some Of the employees OF the said Flower
Medical Company. DR.. Heald said that
S St the Sg 10 h Fo~sf
Medical Company and the rest were pro-
cured at a certain drug store in this city.
Mr.. Garvan had the records OF the drug
store searched, and only one prescription
by Heald for Hagaman has been found
The statements Of Drs. Flower and Head
concerning the condition and the treat
ment OF Hagaman have been conflicting
and contradictory. Mr. Garvan says.
Mr.. Caravan also examined Or. j. A.
McCorkle Of Brooklyn. who was, he said.
.only called in consultation thirty-six hours
before the death Of said Hagaman. and who
At thst time was unable to make any SUI
fcient diagnosis OF the condition OF said
Hagamen and relied upon the history given
by said Heald but he states that at the time
he visited the said Hagaman 1t was too
late to be OF any assistance to him..
CAUSE OF DEATH NOT CLEAR.
The cause OF death given by Head was
cirrhosis OF the liver and congestion OF the
lungs Mr. Garvan declares that he has
consulted eminent authority and such
authority fails to lind the clinical history
as given by said Flower and heald sufficient
10 justify such a finding Of the cause Of
death
The body is buried in the Rural Cemetery
at Poughkeepeie. Isaac Hagaman. brother
Of the, deceased, made the complaint
upon which MIR. Garvan has acted.
FLOWER OUTFIT GUSTS MELor BUNCH.
The proceedings taken by the District
Attorney didn't seem to bother DIR. Flower
in the least. judging by his manner at tbs
meeting 81 the stockholders Of the Lone
Pine Mining Company. one Of the various
Flower explorations, which was held at
Cooper Union yesterday afternoon
The meeting was called by Flower and
he friends to Dust the old board Of directors
which was accused OF appropriating com.
pany property To its own Use. The Flower
party held proxies representing u.i20
shareholders. which. they said. was ma
lonty. The officers and directors 81 the
company asked Justice 0'Gorinan in the
supreme Court early la the day TO enJoin
Flower and his friends from voting these
