HARTFORD, CONN, Oct. 4.-One
Of the strangest opera tons known to
the medical world is about to be per-
formed at the Yale Medical School
A dead mans brain will be dissected
by medico- criminologists to deter
mine whether he committed murder
40 years ago.
The subject is Charles Gilbert. Of
New Britain, Conn, who died in the
State prison last Tuesday, where he
had been confined for As years for
the murder of a Civil War recruiting
officer.
Even on his death bed Gilbert pro-
tested his innocence. declaring his
father was guilty of the crime. One
Of his latest acts was to request that
his brain be sent TO the Yale Medical
School for an operation to prove his
living words.

out of door life. is a university man
and is employed as a sanitary en-
gineer by twenty towns in the
Emscher River District in Western
Germany.
Seven years ago, when just 80
years of age ne worked out his idea
of an improved sewage disposal sys-
TEN. There was much complaint, as
there is all over the world against
dumping sewage into rivers and the
sea. In cities away from any water
course the problem was even more
difficult.
Necessity was the mother to his
ideas and a new plant was designed.
Il is the one at Essen. and on account
Of the success of this plant Atlanta
adopted the plan.
Herring Recommended Plants.
DR.. Rudolph Herring, of New York.
Atlanta's consulting engineer. visited
DR.. Imhon in Germany and seeing
his plant decided it was the thing for
Atlanta.
The problems Of sewage disposal
that troubled Germany, of course,
confront American cities. The Imhoff
system is simple The solid and
liquid parts Of the sewage are so
separated that their own bacteria de-
stroy the impurities.
The invention is designed especially
for inland towns and cities, but its
success, and especially the fact that
very little odor is given off from the
plants, IS causing seaport and river
towns to adopt the plant in an effort
to purify the water.
Or. Imhoff will remain in America
only a few weeks. Captain Clayton
took him on an inspection Of At
lanta's plants Saturday. He will
visit a number of other cities where
his plants are being constructed.

DR.. Karl Imhoff. the young German
engineer who few years ago in
vented a new process of sewage dis
posal and gave his idea to Atlanta
without charge, visited the two com
pleted plants here Saturday and found
assurance that his patents would net
him a big fortune.
DR. Imhoff said he had refused
tempting sums for his patents from
American promoters. He announced
that they were not for sale City
Chief Of Construction r. NJ. Clayton
estimated that the patents were cas-
lily worth 100000.
The success Of the system has been
remarkable in Germany. The first
plant was built at Essen seven years
ago. 1t has revolutionized the sani-
tatlon of that city and surrounding
territory. To-day there are 12e
plants, known as the Imhoff tanks, in
Germany.
system 1ro"S hdplOlJs
The growth of the system has beer
almost as rapid in America. Work
was begun on three Atlanta plants
three years ago Two of them have
been completed and are in good work
ing order. Some As plants are now in
process OF construction in other
American cities.
From the number Of engineers ano
city officials who have visited At
lanta's plants from all parts of the
United States and the opinions they
expressed, Chief of Construction
Clayton thinks the Imhoff system soon
will supplant all others.
Atlanta is the only city not being
charged a royalty on the patents, but
when Atlanta's plants were begun the
process was practically unheard of on
this side of the Atlantic.
Inventor Is Pleased.
Dr. Imhoff said Saturday he was
pleased with the construction OF At
lanta's plants and that he was conf
dent they would prove satisfactory
Since they We're the first 10 be built
