The CORPSE THAT WAS LABELED DRIED
APPLEs.-lt is but day or two since an &C
count appeared in all the New York papers OF
the arrival Of a box at railroad depot in this
city labeled ''dried apples" the weight OF
which aroused the suspicious of the railroad
employees, and led to the conveyance OF the
box TO the Coroner's Office, whore 1t was found
TO contain the body of q female. Just as ago
MIXING apprehensions of Q foul murde. were
gaining the ascendancy in the mind Of the
Coroner, and a long list of interesting wit
nesses had suggested itself TO his mind, Col
Zsdoc Pratt appeared, claimed the body and
the boz, and explained that the popularity of
the direction was occasioned by q desire to
avoid delay in transportation The corpse, he
said. was the remains Of a daughter of a rela-
tive residing in New Haven; that she had died
while on visit at his house, and that he was
anxious that the body should reach New Ha-
ven, and be inferred in the family vault with
out unnecessary loss of time. The statement
was credited by the Coroner, who straightway
allowed the body to be taken away Since
then the New Haven papers have published
authorized statements to the effect that the
box was not labelled as reported in New York
The subject is naturally delicate one to the
relatives, and no one acquainted with the fam.
ny most Immediately concerned could believe
that under their superintendesce so peculiar
an unnecessary precautiOn would have been
taken. Nevertheless as the correctness of ouI
report has been impugned, We feel it but due
10 our reporters to state that subsequent in
curry establishes the truthfulness Of our first
account.-N. Y. Times.
