Alligator Skin on Man
AstOnishes Scientists

Los Angeles, Feb. IA medical
mystery was presented police sur
geons yesterday when Charles Ken
yon, who has been termed the "alli-
gator man" by the doctors, met with
an accident which caused the discov-
cry that the mans body is almost en-
tirely covered with scales, causing him
to have the appearance of an alligator
or a fish.
AS near as the physicians could as
certain. the mans condition is sim
liar to that of sufferers from dis
ease known to medical science as "ich-
thvosis souderans," which is rare
ailment. According to the physicians,
former cases have shown such scales
to appear sometimes in childhood, but
they disappear as the child grows
older
In the case of Kenyon, however, the
fish-like skin covers practically hls
entire body, ending only at the neck
and wrists. The mans case proved SO
puzzling that he was taken to the
county hospital until specialists can
diagnose his case and pictures and
data gathered for the future use OF
medica. science.
Police Surgeons Wiley and Roome
stated yesterday that they will collect
drawings and photographs, because OF
the rarity of the case.
Kenyon lived at 148 West Fortieth
street. He never married, because he
always feared that his strange condl-
ton would cause unhappiness. Accord
ing to his statement, his body has been
covered with the peculiar scales since
birth. He had been employed as a
driver of a sprinllling wagon and 1t
is believed that few who knew him
were aware of the scale formation.

Perkins, president of the National

arid lands had been allowed to eclipse
the pressing demand for flood pre-
ventative measures.
