MAN IN THE IRON
MASK DUPLICATED
Chemist Condemned to
Hide Features MARRIED
by Nitric Acid.

After months of torture. during
which he has endured many operations.
Albert Richards, patient in Roosevelt
Hospital. has been condemned to spend
the rest Of his life wearing mask
although his features, burned by nitric
acid. have been partly restored by sur
geons.
Richards came to the hospital, it was
learned. because the mask frightened
every one he came near. Dumas's story
Of THE Man in the Iron Mark" will be
duplicated III his case. however. for he
can never escape the necessity OF con
ccaling his Disagreement.
Two years ago Richards. chemist.
living Al 1890 Southern Boulevard. Tie
Rrony, was At work on an experiment
which involved the use Of explosives.
The ingredients blow up in a crucible.
Richard, was holding a carboy OF nitric
acid. He stumbled and fell. smashing
the glass container and splashing the
fiery liquid on his face and body.
For months Richards was not eX-
pcctcd 20 live. The shock had nearly
paralyzcd him. and he was nervous
wreck.
When Richards finally emerged from
the hospital he went home wearing a
mask. After some weeks he got work
as gardener. but his appearance eX-
cited so much comment that he was as
charged. He was in financial straits,
ard his situation became desperate.
During all the weeks since his re-
lease from the hospital his wife had
obeyed his orders never 10 raise the
mask from his face. One day her
curiosity got the better Of her. and
she raised the cloth and looked a. her
husband. She screamed and ran from
the house. She never lived with him
2fterward.
Richards got work and supported
himself until few months ago. lhen
his case came 20 the attention OF a
surgeon. who had him removed to
Roosevelt Hospital. Spec allsts OK
AHMED him and pronounced the case
hopeless. but one Of the visiting sur
geons. DR.. Kari Cornell, OF IS west
JOth ST.. undertook the work.
All 'hc skin used in grating has
be.n taken from the patents own
body. Until two weeks ago the sur
eoonS had hoped the miracle could b.
carried 80 far that Richards wouiG
emerge with 4 prcsentable face. Com
nFications arose. however. and the sur
geons now agree that the man mus
never show MS marred features again
Since his confinement in the hospI-
tai efforts to locate mis- wife nave
failed. She disappeared the day She
looked al his dist gurcment and has NOV
been traced. Few friends have visited
the man. He has occupied cot IN
n public ward and has never shown
auy Encouragement during his sufier-
inCs under the knife.
DR.. Cornell refuses TO discuss the
case. but he admitted last night that
h. had performed all the operations, on
Richards and that they had failcd 10
roScue the man from being q pariah.
Tie operations will continue, howeYer'
for several weeks more, to relieve Rich
ards of painful adhesions caused by the
skin grating.
