was out Of the chamber and it should
not be moved in his absence. Senator
Downing on his return did not move

The author OF the bill said he would
not move its passage until he had
been assured that Republican members
would not seek to amend the bill by
excluding Mrs. Grace Strachan For

The measure was designed to PRO

Removal Of Glands
From Slayer's Body
Raises Legal Issue
Mystery Over Obtaining Of
Organic Material Needed
i'm Operation Performed
I" Aid Epilepsy Paiicn.

A mystery developed yesterday CON
ccrnlng the recent transformed Of a
set of glands from the body Of I'D
ward Persons, prisoner who was put
TO death at Sing Sing, to George
Hauser, another prisoner, in the hope
that they would cure his fits. The
mystery is as to the removal Of The
glands from Persons's body.
Ihe secret probably viii be pre-
served, As All official Of the prison
said that the removal of the glands
was illegal. he thought
"Ihc law is very specific relating
to the bodies of executed prisoners. y
he said, and prcscribes lust what can
be done with them. 1t even requires
that the body. when not claimed bv a
close relative must be buried in quick
lime"
It was explained that the Attorney
General had given AN opinion on the
subject Of tho mutilation Of the bodies
o. prisoners who had been put to
death. and that as a result of this
opinion the practice of sending tho
brains Of such victims Of the law TO an
alienist in this city had been discon-
tiHued. Since then it has been held
that the bodies Of executed murderers
must be buried or sent to their fami-
lies intact.
1t is beloved that the glands were
removed from Persons body when the
autopsy was performed. Several sur
geons were present at the autopsy, but
no one has been found who admits sec
iAr any one making Off with d set of
& ands.
The insertion of the glands in the
body of Hauser, an operation which is
unQuestionably within the law. as
Hauser's consent had been obtained
was performed by DR.. Terry ~ Town
send, of Pts Broadway DR.. Townsend
However. says he has no idea who took
the glands in the first place
Hauser is still in bed. Prison at
tordants who have seen him were not
hopeful. SO far az they could see, he
vas no better of with two sets OF
glands than he had been with one. Dr.
