New York, Oct. 2s.-An autopsy today
on the body OF Daniel Mclaughlin. 81
whose home is unknown and who died
early this morning in the Holy Fam
fly Hospital. Brooklyn, revealed the
astonishing fact that the patient had
lived for nearly six weeks with a. four
inch fountain pen imbedded in his brain.
Coroner Wagner. OF Brooklyn. declared
that the man had undoubtedly been muir
dered.
Mclaughlin was brought to the hos
pital on September IL. after he had been
found at O'Clock In the morning In an
unconscious condition lying on . truck
In a vacant lot at sol Hamilton ave-
nue., Brooklyn. The hospital physicians
found that he had a broken left elbow
and a bruised left eye, the eyeban OF
which was considerably swollen. The pa
tent revived sufficiently to give his name,
age, and say that he lived at lT War
rem street, Brooklyn. Then he lapsed
into inconsistencies.
Ever since that day Mclaughlin has
lowered between life and death, uncon-
scious all OF the time and barely giving
evidence that he was alive. The hospi-
tai authorities were unable to explain
why a man with a fractured elbow and
a swollen eye could remain in comatose
condition. This morning he died.

Physicians George w. Tong disclosed
