man appetite.
According to their schedule the train

Noted Scientists of the Whole
Country Deeply Interested in
Proposed Experiment.

Scientists of a number of the biggest
cities in the country expressed keen
interest today in the proposed operation
in which the eyes of the condemned
wife slayer. Robert l.. Clay, will be
used to restore the sight of John Cash
in the blind Atlanta paper seller.
Noted specialists throughout the
country are interested in the expert
ment The operation admittedly is I'M
known to science, but the thought is ex-
pressed, even by the most skeptical of
the oculists who have read the blind
mans proposal, that science has not
reached its limits and the success of
the operation may not be impossible
Previous experiments have proved
the optic nerve can not be regenerated,
once death has supervened. and the
proposal is that the cornea of Clay's
eyes be supplied Cashin Immediately
after the physicians at the execution of
the wife slayer shall have pronounced
him dead

Thinks He Can
Save Day Yet.

"Clay's eyes would, Of course, be of
no use to him. should he hang. | don t
think he will ever hang, but certainly if
the sentence is executed | would advise
that if Cashin believes that his sight
can be restored by their use, that the
eyes be given for that purpose l can
imagine nothing that a man would
rather do before leaving the world
than bestow his power Of sight on some
fellow being deprived of vision" said
the lawyer.
II it is decided by the specialists. who
have the operation under consideration,
that the optic nerves are servicea bic
enough to permit of possible success n
the operation, the eyes of Clay will be
asked for Under Georgia custom the
body Of a man who meets death on the
gallows is turned over to his relatives.
They finally will decide whether or not
the eyes be given Cashin.

kin. He did not speak for the family
