A MARVELLOUS DOCTOR.
Death of Boston's Moat Wonderful
Surgeon and Physician.
Dr. James It. Cocke, ftd celebrated
blind surgeon and hypnotist, was
found dead iu his home/on Pinckney
street. Boston, April 13» under pecul
iar circumstances. Char
lotte Cocke, is under the surveillance
of the police.
Mrs. Cocke eaya that in the early
afternoon she found therdoctor sitting
in the office inn stupefied condition.
She got hirrl into bed and then went
out for a few hours, leaving lilni
alone. When she returned he was
dead with a bullet, hole in the back of
lila head, the pistol having been
placed in his mouth. Some other per
son in the house notified the police,
and an investigation is now in pro
gress.
Dr. Cocke was one of the most suc
cessful operating surgeons in the
United States, despite the fact that
he was totally blind. He seemed to
havo developed a psychic sense that
conferred n more vivid and accurate
consciousness than sight enables most
people to enjoy. I)r. Cocke was grad
uated from the Boston University
School of Medicine in June. 1892.. He
had been blind from his infancy.
When he was two years old he took
medicine that destroyed his sight.
After his graduation Dr. Cocke es
tablished a wonderful reputation as
a surge6n nnd built up an extensive
practice in Boston. He was not only
a master surgeon but a clever oculist,
a psychologist and an authority on
hypnotism. He wrote on Socialism,
was a talented musician, an eloquent
lecturer, an athlete and an ardent bi
cyclist. He was but thirty-seven
years old, but he had such a reputa
tion that he was generally believed
to be much older.
His sense of touch was so delicate
that to watch the movements of his
knife in a difficult surgical operation
was to feel that some unseen agency
was at work, taking the place of
sight. Never did he permit the knife
to move a fractional part of an inch
in the wrong direction. Even his col
leagues regarded his work as mar
vellous.
