This article appeared in the Hazleton (Pa.) Sentinel newspaper on Aug.
18, 1881.
<
Ashley is a small community located immediately south of Wilkes-Barre
in Northeastern Pennsylvania's anthracite region where Ed Conrad has
been discovering petrified bones, teeth and even soft organs -- SOME
HUMAN -- between coal veins for more than three decades..

>                     =======================
>
     About three miles from Ashley, a Mr. McCauley has the contract
from the Wilkes-Barre Coal & Iron Co. for sinking a coal shaft.
<
     It is twenty feet square and is intended to have two tracks for
carriages to run in hoisting up the coal, and is said to be the
largest opening of the kind in the coal regions.
<
     It is located near the base of the mountain and has reached a
depth of 475 feet.
<
     Saturday last, when the gang, or what is known as the second
shift
of men, were about retiring, after firing off a course of holes, Tom
Cassidy, the foreman, descended the shaft to ascertain the result of
the explosion, and was astonished to find an immense cavity in one of
the sides of the shaft.
<
      The explosion appeared to have a terrible effect and caused more
damage than benefit on one side, but his astonishment was still
greater increased on clearing away some of the refuse of the rock
blown by the shots to discover a solid mass of rock in which appears
a clearly-defined human shape of giant proportions.
<
      All the limbs, muscles and ligaments are apparent. The rock is
about 16 feet in length, 18 in breadth, and about 8 in thickness. The
dimensions of the human frame are giantly, measuring 12 feet in length
and 4 feet across the chest.
<
      Across the breast is the impression of a huge shield, about four
feet in circumference, while the right hand clutches the broken and
butt end of a large cutlass or sword.
<
      The rock was taken out whole and is now in possession of Mr.
McCauley in Ashley.

JUST A FEW OF ED CONRAD'S FOSSILS THAT "SCIENTISTS"
FRAUDULENTLY IDENTIFIED AS ROCKS AND/OR CONCRETIONS
<
<                      PETRIFIED HUMAN SKULL
<
Wilton M. Krogman, who wrote the book "The Human Skeleton in Forensic
Medicine," identified this fossil as a petrified human calvarium (a
human  skull with the eye-sockets broken off).

HUMAN SKULL EMBEDDED IN A BOULDER

veins at a depth of some 250 feet.

<
American Medical Laboratories identified dried blood in granules
removed from the inner surface of what bears a distinct likeness to
-- and IS -- a human cranium.
<
In addition, more than a half-dozen key human fossils were tested by
AML, the most prestigious medical lab in the world, which reported --
in writing -- that they contain dried blood.
<
<     ANOTHER NAIL IN EVOLUTIONISTS' COFFIN
<
Dr. Jeremy Dahl, one of the world's leading bone experts and former
longtime director of the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center in
Atlanta, examined and tested one of Ed Conrad's specimens and -- in
writing -- identified it as a petrified fossil.

Why not?  The platform he is running on is solid.
He has the stiff upper lip needed to withstand the criticism.
He has the heart of stone needed to make those tough decisions.
