MEDAL OF HONOR MAN DEAD
DIR. GABRIEL GRANT, SURGEON
IN CIVIL WAR.
One Of Few Medical Men in Army
Distinguished by Congress With
Special Recognition.

NEW YORK, November CDR. Gabriel
Grant. one Of the few surgeons in this
country who held the congressional med
al of honor. died Of a complication Of
diseases yesterday in his home. % East
10th street.
Through his distinguished services not
only as a surgeon. but as a soldier, DR..
Grant had won many honors. He was
sugeon general of the Medal Of Honor
Legion and had received high tribute
from various other organizations.
He came of a distinguished New Jersey
family ard was born in Newark in 1896
the son of Charles Grant and sixth in de-
scent from Maj. Robert Treat. whose
son. Richard Treat. organized the settle
ments along the Passaic river. DIR. Grant
was graduated from Williams College
in 1S46 and from the College Of Physi-
clans nd Surgeons in New York in 1851.
Eleven years later DIR. Grant went to
the isthmus. While there he organized
the American Hospital, the first of those
institutions in South America, and he
was the first man who attempted Sc
riously to introduce modern American
sanitary methods on the isthmus which
was then a hotbed Of yellow fever and
cholera.
He was recalled to this country in 1854
to organize a fight against the cholera
epidemic In the neighborhood Of New
York. and as health commissioner Of
Newark he did notable work
Upon the outbreak Of the civil war Dr.
Grant enlisted as surgeon in the I'd New
Jersey Volunteers in the brigade of Gen.
Kearney. From that time until the close
of the war he was in active service i'm
the field. He was promoted rapidly and
became In succession brigade and divi-
sion surgeon. with the rank OF major
After three years and four months he
was retired because OF incapacity result
ing from wound received while he was
operating upon a wounded soldier.
In recognition of his valor Congress be-
slowed upon him the medal of honor. a
distinction equivalent to the Victoria
cross in England and conferred only for
special service under fire and outside the
line of regular duty. Dr. Grant enjoyed
the close friendship and saw service with
many of the most distinguished generals
of the rebellion. notably Gems. Richard
son, Kearney and Howard, and espe-
cially Cen French. OF whose staff he
was a member. He took part IN the cele-
Stone at Cedar run. having as COM
panions in that raid the Prince de Join
vile and the Comte de Paris.
DIR. Grant was assigned in 1869 to the
of Indiana. and he established the hospi-
tai at Evansville. The United States hos
pital at Madison, Ind, also was organ
lied under his direction. He was a mem

VICTIM EXPIRES IN VIEW OF
LARGE AUDIENCE.
Hypnotist Conducting Experiment
Arrested-Autopsy to Be Held to
Determine Cause Of Death.

SOMERVILLE, N. j.. November CIVIC
tim of a hypnotic experiment. Robert
Simpson is dead and Prof. Arthur Ever
ton of Newark, the hypnotist. is under ar
rest and in a state Of collapse today.
Simpson was hypnotized at perform
ance I'm a theater here last night. After
placing the man in a cataleptic state the
hypnotist performed numerous tests In
the presence OF the audience to show the
thoroughness of his work. When the
time came to end the tests. however. Prof.
Everton found that his work. to all ap-
pearances. had been too thorough. The
subject could not be revived. In a panic
the hypnotist called upon physicians, who
after laboring a long time over Simpson
pronounced him dead.
notwithstanding this decision the man
was taken to a hospital where Prof.
Everton and County Physician w. H.
Long made efforts to revive him. No re-
suits having been obtained after several
hours, Everton was arrested. Everton
collapsed when he realized the plight he
was in.
An autopsy will be performed today to
determine the exact cause of Simpsons
death.
Simpsons death was witnessed by a
large audience. When at the end OF the
exhibition Everton attempted to restore
the subject to his normal condition there
was not the usual response. Simpson
eyes rolled, his jaw dropped and he fell
heavily over on the floor No sign OF life
was afterward apparent.
Eyerton said today he was Informed
that Simpson had been drinking before
the experiment was performed.
The authorities late today granted Ever
ton permission to call in another pro-
fessionaI hypnotist from Newark to make
a last effort to revive Simpson.
\ third hypnotist was summoned here
from New York by the management Of
the theater. and he also will attempt to
restore Simpson to life.
