opinion, tho Imdy timy he kept alive In

may 1h eliminated "
A year after this announcement Jon
athan Starkweather, the financier, feel
ing HI, aent for lr. Kvan farroll, the
uiau who made It. Hut liefotv the
doctor's arrival tho piulcnt had died of
heart failure. Carroll produced an or
der signed by Starkweather twelve
months tieforo for the body. Arthur
Starkweather, the deceased' oldest
on, knew of tho order, respecbxl It,
and the body waa transferred to Ir.
Carroll's laboratory.
Arthur Starkweather Inherited hla
father's fortune, but by the will. In
raae of hla death without lsaue, It
waa to go to lr Carroll In trust to
endow an Institute for aoletitlflo r
Mrch. Two years after getting poa
aesslon of the property Arthur Stark
weather died a bachelor. Ir. Carrull
at once put In a claim for the estate on
behalf of his Institute.
I n mi mom bio Starkweathers sprang
up to contest the will.
A mooting was culled, a commute
appointed and counsel employed.
A month later counsel Informed the
committee that there was no doubt of
their nblllty to break the will, owing to
a fluw In the deed of trust. The trus
tees' attorneys were so far convinced
of this that they made an offer to
compromise. The offer was submitted
to a meeting of the heirs at iuw and
umtuluiously declined.
Pr. Carroll, w ho waa presvut at the
uieetiug, arose and stated that there
waa some doubt ntxiut Joiinthuu Stark
weather being dead and he might lie
capable of making another will. All
were surprised at what was consid
ered an absurd bluff on the part of a
man who stood at the bead of scien
tific research lu America. Shouts of
'Troof!" "1'riKhice him!" "Show your
hand'.' were heard from every quar
ter. Tbe doctor left the meeting with
out reply, but lu a few day every
member of the belra' committee waa
Invited by him to present himself at a
certain hour of a certain day at bis
laboratory.
Upon arrival they were ushered Into
a dimly lighted unfurnished room, la
the center of which was a gigantic
teat tube similar to thone, much small-
er, commonly used by expcrlmeuLert.
In the tube was what resembled a
skeleton, though It was rather like a
strip of dried curtilage. The skull,
covered with shriveled flesh, skin and
hair, was the only feature that sug
gested a humnn being.
Tho tube waa hermetically sealed and
occupied a space twelve feet square
by seven feet high, Inclosed lu plate
glass. A steam piie a p poured coming
up through the floor. Dr. Carroll and
several assistants lu sterilized gowns
entered thu Imiosure. The tempera
ture was noted and a jet of steam
turned on. Then the sealed end of
the tube was opened, and after a time
the cartilaginous figure begun to as
sume tbe appcurauce of a starved hu
man being. Soon after I)r. Carroll
removed It from the tube and placed
It In a cushioned easy chair.
The figure finally opened Its eyes, but
Immediately closed them. Then, open
ing them nguln, It fixed them on the
committee. There w as something so un
canny In the ijtare of tho corpw-Uke
body that severnl of the committee,
unable to stand It, left the room.
At this point I Jr. Carroll asked the
patient bow be felt. He opened bis
Hps to speak, but the only sound that
came was such as Is produced by a
talking doll. It was very distressing,
and more of the committee weut out.
Dr. Carroll opened the door of the
glass Inclosure and asked the commit
tee If they recognized Jonathan Stark
weather. Several committeemen ad
mitted that they did, but didn't wish
to see any more of blm, whereumn
the doctor took from his pocket a will,
properly drawn, and handed It to
Starkweather with a Btylographlc pen.
Starkweather signed It, and It was wit
nessed by the asHlstanta.
Such Is the story whispered among
the younger experimenters at the
Stark wither Institute with reference
to the withdrawal of the suit to break
the Starkweather will on payment of
1100XJO to the heirs of tho $1,000,000
left for tbe Institution. There la one
element of tho story, however, that
casts a doubt upon fts truth. Nothing
is sum about what bceamo of the re
mains, dead or alive, of Starkweather.
On Dr. Carroll's theory he might now
be walking nround. Some aoy the
doctor Htm has him In the big tost
tube and Is waiting for the develop
ment of other processes to bring him
back to permanent life. Surely tho
Interests of scientific research would
not be injured by a frank avowal of
the facts.
