scious. He was given stimulants and
strong heart tonicS, hypodermically.
An examination of his body disclosed
a scalp wound on the upper left side
of his scalp, an inch long, and not
cut to the bone, but clean cut wound,
from which the blood flowed very
freely, the scalp being a very vascular
tissue There was a bruise on the left
side of his face which the man had
when he was admitted to the hospital.
There were some abrasiOns about his
chest and shoulders. There were no
contusions or cuts about his body, no
bones broken. The man responded to
the stimulants internally and hypo-
dermically and began to beat his
chest with his hands as if he was
fighting for air, showing that he was
not getting sufficient oxygen. This
condition was probably due to the
over-taxed condition of his heart, due
to his prolonged muscular effort and
accumulated fat, or possibly to the
rupture of a small blood vessel inter
nally, and as he bled freely from the
nose some hours after death, it is
rather confirmatory of the ruptured
blood vessel. The man died from
heart failure. due to either one of
those causes mentioned or probably
both. The death certificate was rem
dered as heart failure due to pro-
longed muscular effort. The body was
turned over to Undertaken Brown to
be embalmed. Mr.. Brown, who did
the embalming, stated that his lungs
and heart were both overloaded with
blood, and that blood ran profusely
from the dead maniac's nose. His
father was notified by wire, and a let
ter written him in explanation of the
whole proceeding.
