OPERATES ON BRAIN
Inyalid Surgeon Removes Bullet
 From Head of Convict.
Propped Up In Invalid Chair Or. Chap man Performs Successfully Rare
 Operation In Surgery.

Osslnlng, N. Y.-The rare opera tion of removing bullet from a mans brain was successfully accomplished in Sing Sing prison hospital. A re- markable feature was that Dr. Wil- Ham l.. Chapman of Brooklyn, who performed the work, was prOpped In an invalid chair.
 The operation was an attempt to cure insanity In Q prisoner,
 The presence of two bullets In the brain was disclosed by N-ray, the one removed being lmbedded almost two inches, while the other was lodged behind the right ear. When the first bullet had been extracted the other was found to be lodged solidly in the tissue. After a consultation 1t was decided not to touch it. The incision then was closed, and the patient re gained consciousness.
 The full operation lasted one hour. A piece of skull the size Ot a silver dollar first was removed, and into the aperture Dr. Chapman inserted his in- dex finger gently. being careful not to rupture the brain tissue or draw blood. Deeper and deeper with pain ful slowueSs, the surgeon probed until his finger came in contact with the bullet. Then the surgeon slowly worked his finger around and under the object, gradually forcing 1t through the tissue until it touched the side of the skull and then half lifted. half pushed 1t. along the wall until lt reached the opening, where lt was taken out with fOrccps.
