Y., March 28:—One of the rarest operations known - to medical science, that of removing a’ bullet from a man's brawm, Was successfully accom- plished today in Sing Sing prisen hospital. A remarkable feature of the operation was that Dr. William L. Chapman, .of Brookiyn, who performed the work,:is himself an_ invalid and performed the 6p- eration while propped up in an invalid’s chair, The operation was an attempt to insanity in- Roman Leondowski, a pris- oner. The full operation lasted one hour. A Biese of, skull about thejsite of & silver dollar- first was removed, and into the aperture, Dr. Chapman inserted his index finger gently and slowly, being extremely careful not to_rupture the brain tissue.or draw blood. Deeper and deeper, with al- most pginful slowness, the surgeon probed until his finger came in contact with the bullet. The more delicate task of work- ing the bullet upward now confronted the invalid sw but he slowly worked his finger around and under the object, gradually forcing through the “tissue un- til it touched the side of the skull. Then half lifting, hal? pushing ‘it aiong the wall, the bullet reached * ‘epening where Pr. Chapman had insertsd his fin ger. ings have been prohibited. AT LEAS® EIGHT KILLED 4 % IN EXPLOSION IN C-_lc‘flo ry Chicago, March 23.—Manufacturers and storage of fireworks in* & manner prohibited by city ordinances was' blam- ed tonight by city and police officials for an_explosion in the, heart of the West Side, tenement district today -which killed at least eight persons, -injured . 100 - or more, réndered dozes temporarily home- less and damaged buildings blocks away. ° Two men were held in jail tonight in connection with the disaster and two others, possibly killed in the . explosion, were sought by the police. - The explosion wreckeq the warehouse of Willis and Company, paper dealers. where a dizen men were working. All are believed to have been Iilled. Next door was the firm of Singer and Schaffer, dealers in novelty merchandise. Chief of Police Charles Fitzmorris, to- night declared that- the = Singer and Schaeffer firm had = manufactured - fire- works in and around fhe warehouse in violation of eity ordinances and . that combustion of these fireworks was to blame for the dispster. Max Singer and Edward Schaeffer, me- phew and son respectively of the part- ners, were rearrested and placed fn jafl tonight after they had been questioned With the same. caution exercised from the beginning, the surgeon withdrew his finger, revealing the bullet on the top of the tissue of the brain. With a pair of forceps, he seized the missile and with- drew it from the man's head. Thirty minutes’ had "elapséd ‘when Dr. Chapman made another. incision to remove sec- ond bullet. ~ This-was T than. the, first. It was ‘with tissue ‘jwhich. would have had to be broken -to remove the bullet. —To do so presented the danger, not-of risking the patient's life, it was said, but the after ‘effect of the’scat-tissue on the brain .wiiich ‘would be.worse perhaps, than if -the ‘bullet had Temained_ in. the . brain. .
