PAGE t-A HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Flls. Ore. Thursday, March 7, 1W.I Doctor, Vho Revived Dead. Dies Of Heart Ails After See-Saw Life BERKELEY, Calif. (UPH-Dr. Robert Cornish, 59, a biochemist whose efforts to resurrect an executed murderer 16 years ago made him the center of a medi cal, legal and moral furor, died Wednesday. Cornish attracted national at tention in the 19306 when he was able to restore dead dogs to life in experiments at his University of California laboratory. He died at Herrick Hospital fol lowing a heart attack. .' His work made him the target oj an antivivisectionist protect which caused his removal from the university where he had set a brilliant array of academic rec ords. He was, at the age of 22, the youngest person to receive a doc torate from the university. Four years earlier, in 1922, he was' graduated at the age of 18, at that time the youngest graduate and the youngest member of the Phi Beta Kappa honorary society. Dog Lived 18 Months In his experiments with dogs, he would kill the animals with nitrogen gas and then, about five minutes later, inject a solution Composed of blood, heparin and ' adrenalin. One dog named Lazarus IV lost his sight but seemed otherwise unaffected by his five - minute "death." Lazarus lived another 18 months before he died of pneu monia. Cornish, a Roman Catholic, made several efforts to get per mission to try his experiments on condemned men. but was repeat edly turned down. He appealed to the wardens of state prisons in Colorado and Ne vada, where convicts were executed in the gas chamber, but his proposals were rejected vehemently. Church leaders debated the mo rality of his experiments. In 1947 he appealed to Gov. Earl Warren for permission to at tempt to resurrect the remains of Thomas H. McMonigle, 31, a sex slayer. McMonigle had consented to the experiment "in the interest of science." Request was Denied But Cornish's request was de nied after being shunted through several state offices, none of which found available authority for a ruling on attempted resur rection of a state ward. Cornish's theories drew the scoffs of doctors throughout the country as well as the objections of organizations such as the So ciety for the Prevention of Cruel- to Animals. A psychiatrist at Johns Hopkins University said Lazarus IV, the dog which was brought back to life, was simply a corpse mechan ically reacting to stimuli. After his unsuccessful attempt, to try his experiments on con victs, Cornish, a bachelor, moved to a dilapidated tin shack in Berkeley and turned to more practical projects. He marketed a dentrifrice of his own formula, called Dr. Corn ish's tooth powder, and made a steam-resistant paint for turkish baths. Later he dealt in war sur plus goods. Chemist Jthr. Fir.r.. a friend and associate o Cornish, sa'iJ Wednesday, "He not only antici' pated the Russians in the resur rection of animals but probably was the first to show that death is not necessarily provable by a stethoscope." Probe Asked SALEM IUPH Sen. Dwight Hopkins, D-lmbler, said today he had demanded an investigation of an incident between one of his constituents and a La Grande city policeman. Hopkins said he understood the officer took the motorist's diiver's license away from him. Hopkins said this was- in violation of the law. isms DOORS OPEN TONITE 6:45 Starts TODAY wftievhk fleet Amtrtet't No. 1 neonilng tltr btHt ml t big ntwttngt.,. it Iht hlluhm Intld uory ef Iht fit who follow Ihtr gob . . . from pert to KMtrt port I llinini Connie FRANCIS Paula PRENTISS Russ TAMBLYN Janis PAIGE Ron RANDELL L mi mm dttnfrhin.te.TJi.iaaJu.intoit 37 State Board Approves Two School Buildings "Just one thins bothers me.
