DEAD CONVICT'S GLANDS PUT IN MAN OF 60; Operation in San Quentin Penitentiary to Test Youth Restoration Theory. - The New York Times

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17.-Thomas Bellon, a young murderer, was hanged today at San Quentin Penitentiary, and after his death, interstitial glands from his body were transferred to a man of 60, also a prison inmate, to test the efficacy of the theory of restoration of youth. Bellon was pronounced dead at 10:36 A. M., the body was hurried to the prison hospital. There on an operating table lay the aged convict. The body of Bellon was lifted to an adjoining table and his interstitial glands were removed. Then the glands were transferred to the other's body. Unable to feel pain, because of anaesthetic injected into the spine, he talked with the doctors as they cut and sewed, The surgeons believe that new strength, mental as well as physical, will follow the operation. Similar results, it is said, have come from such operations previously performed at the prison.
