part Of Ii. The coffin, however, which was
delivered TO me at the arsenal, contains only
the frame-thc head, right hand aud spine
being missing. fthey had been retained for
| the benefit and In the interest of science,

old Capitol prison by discharged soldier for

spectfully ask you to give an order that the
