His brother Harry testified Bret was exercised unconscious and given whiskey. Bret returned home ill and weakened, with his father blaming hazing for breakdown of his son’s health and death.

Everett Man's Story Of A Headless White Hen In New York
A letter from Everett recounts a Thanksgiving 1878 sighting in New York City of a live headless white chicken seen walking on a perch in a Canal Street room. The bird, tarred on neck and feathers, was exhibited by a man named Myers. James Hrinkerhoef owned part of the bird and a Woodbridge, New Jersey poultry farm. The exhibitor described slaughter methods and the chicken’s survival five months after its beheading, fed by swallowing food whole, then dying two days later. The account parallels earlier Chicago/New York chicken oddities and ends with a respectful closing from ROBERT G. AKI.
