Maude's Brain.—A post-mortem examination of the brain of Maude, the murderer executed at Newark last week, revealed the presence of a fibro-cartilaginous tumor about the size of a pea, which was attached to the outer membrane, the dura mater, on the right side, over the middle lobe. This tumor had produced a slightly marked indentation on the surface of the brain, and in the opinion of a majority of the medical gentlemen who made the examination, congestion of the membrane, with slight effusion. Those appearances might exist with or without insanity. The weight of the contents of the skull was 45 ounces, while the average weight in males between 40 and 50 years of age, is 49 ounces. This examination, it is said, tended to confirm the almost universal opinion of the medical faculty that Maude was an insane man.
