HEAD GOOD AS EVER.
Man Who Sent Bullet Through His
Brain to Leave Hospital.

from a bullet hole through the brain.
Frederick Beck Of No 1l5 Warren street.
who tried to kill himself on July II. will
be discharged from the City hospital in a
few days. The bullet entered the right
temple and, passing through the brain,
was found just under the skin an inch
and n half below the left temple. When
the bullet was taken out part of the brain
followed it.
Almost as remarkable as Beck's recov
cry is the fact that none of his senses
nor his intellectual capacity has been
affected in the slightest degree. He is as
sound as ever except for little weakness.
Such a wound as BcckS usually causes
instant death. and when in rare instances
a patient does recover his sight or hear
ing or some other sense is almost invar-
iably affected
