PAGE EIGHT RANSFER Of YOUTH GIVING GLANDS Will BE TRIED ONCE MORE Pan Quentin, Cal., Nov. II. When intone Lapara, a handsome Italian of 29, is hanged, here December 19, the youth that has put the spring In ( his step and the resonance in his voice Will be transferred, In a measure from his dead body to the living body of one of the old men prisoners. The means employed will be a sur- geen'a knife, and the surgeon will transplant the reproductive intersti- . tial glands of Lapara to the old mans tody. This will be the eleventh operation of this nature performed at the prison by Dr. L. li. Stanley, the prison phy sician, and Dr. O. Stanley Kelker, his assistant. All of the 10 previous oper ations have given a measure of youth to the old men who received the glands. They have created something of a sensation in the niedical world. The old man will be chosen from a Bcore of volunteers who have faith in the operation and desire to tap the fountain of youth. The doctors beleve that with the glands will go nothing of the nature that caused Lapara; to commit his crime against society. Lapara is sen tenced for a blackhand murder. He called an Italian to the door of his home in San Francisco and shot him to death with a shotgun. Lapara is a big man of great vitality, and the doctors are waiting with considerable interest to see what measure of this vitality they can transfer to the boay of the feeble prisoner to be chosen. ; Much of the- faith in the operation results from the changed appearance of the prisoner known as B who dally is seen- in the prison yard. U Is 7H years old. Before the op eration he was old In every respeot. Ilia face bore' deep wrinkles and his etep was feeble. He was also old in spirit. His face bore a hopeless look, according to the other prisoners, and his figure was stooped. Now he car ries himself with accurance, and pro fesses to have renewed youth. . Many of the wrinkles have disappeared. He has Jost his timid attitude of an' old,flands' wh" tn?y could not accept man, and speaks with a deep and as sured voice. Here is published for the first time a copy of the official record of Dr. Btanley, who Implanted reproductive interstitial gianus in it s body: "B is 73 years old. He was never married. On pleading guilty to a crime indicating perversion, he was sentenced to life Imprisonment, B was received at San Quentin in Octo ber, 1917, at which time his weight Was 126 pounds, aged 70. He had been a bank clerk and rancher. At thiB time physical examination showed him to be bald, pale, hearing impair ed, most of his teeth missing, poorly nourished and poorly developed, Oth erwise lit fair condition. He readily consented to the transplantation, which was performed on June 20, 1919. The donor in this case was a half-breed Indian boy, aged 19, who was hungod for the murder of a sa- NeOoimaD Blouse Week THIS WEEK, NOVEMBER 10th TO 15th A WEEK FOR WAISTS Tfie J. G. Penney Co.

After beating out their victim's brains with a heavy bar, they also cut hiB throat. Within a half hour after the donor's death the oper ation was performed The following notes were made at ward visits: "June 21 Wound slightly sore. No marked change since operation." "June 22 Feels better this morn ing. "June 23 Feels fine. Wound clean." (Here the record describes marked changes in the patient's phys- leal condition.) "June 24 Notes similar to June 23. Regular diet." "June 25 The nurse, in his chart, notes as follows: U'atlent since oper- ation has Improved mentally and physically. Eyes are brighter, and he is mor0 active mentally and physical- ly than a man many years his junior. Appetite excellent. Nerves are steadier. Anxious to be about doing something of Interest. Before opera tion was naturally reticent, but is now positively emphatic. Summing up the whole demeanor of the patient six days after operation, he has more pep and Jazz and increased mental energy than most men many years his junior. At ward rounds patient remarked that he felt like a fighting cock. Said he wanted to get out and hit someone.' " The patient, according to the rec ord, was able to be up on July 10. Incorporated in the record Is a let tor from E in which he states he is quite sure he has received a new lease on life and that it will be of per manent value. E today told the United Press, more than four months following the operation, that he feels like a new man. There was nothing retiring about him. . . "I hope to be paroled from pris on," he said,, "and if I am, I shall marry, if I find the right woman." San Francisco, Cal., No. 11 (United Press.) The nice question whether a widow of a criminal hanged, at San Quentin can demand that his intersti tial glands be delivered to her for sale, may be decided in the courts. Attorney Nate Coghlan, who defend ed Anthony Lapara, believes the widow has the right to. demand the glands. Lapara Is to be hanged December 19. The prison doctors announced they had received an offer of $10,000 for the because of the prison rules. "Courts have ropeatodly held that anything of value belongs to the widow," said Gohlan. "Medical re search seems to have placed great value on those glands. Such a case would establish a precedent. The case would be most unusual." Goghlan believes ' an injunction might be obtained preventing agents of the state' using the reproductive in terstitial glands and ordering the phy sicians to "keep them on ice" until the legal question could be decided.
