GREAT EXCITEMENT
Dead Man Found in a Dark
Room.
SUSPICIOUS OF MURDER.
The Mystery Partly Erpttialed.

Last Friday morning we noticed large
number of our citizens, apparently very
much excited, running up the stairs lead
ing to the Democrat printing Office. We
joined in the crowd, and soon learned that
the nude body of dead man was lying on
the floor, in dark room ia the attic of the
building, corner of Laporte and Michigan
streets. 1t was at first supposed by some,
that the man had been murdered by G
daguerrean, who occupied the premises
last fall, and LETT the place hastily without
thought the body had been stolen from
the grave by Physicians, and placed there
to elude search. Some one in the crowd
after taking good look at the face of the
corps, said he knew the man. 1t Was
Pierce the horse thief, who died in Jail
about two weeks ago. How he came out
of his grave, or who took him out, is q
question we cannot answer; but almost
every one charge it upon the Doctors-as
they are the only persons who would be
! likely to have any use for the body
now THE BODY WAS FOUND.
Buck s. Toan's workmen, under the
superintendent of boss timer, had
been putting a new tin roof ON the build
ing, and were about to finish the job,
when the boss sent one of the hands, a
young man, into the attic with a lantern
to gather he sheets of tin that had fallen
through, and while he was cropping around
by the dim light, he happened to place
his hand on the dead mans head, and at
the same time, saw the CHASTITY sight be
fore him. Being wholly unprepared for
such sight, he made hasty retreat from
the premises, and fastened to the roof TO
inform the boss of the discovery. His
nervous system had received such a
shock that by this time, he was scarcely
able to stand The workmen could hard
| ly be persuaded to believe that the young
m an had told the truth; but were finally
induced to go and see for themselves.
THE MYSTERY CLEARED Up.
We are informed on good acthority
that Pierce had donated his body, before
he died, to the Physicians. He told then
he had a family; but would give no in
formation of their whereabouts, as he die
not want them to know anything of hi
sad end
We are glad to be able to give this ex
PLANTATION on account of our neighbors o
the Democrat Ii relieves them OF all sus
picion, and satisfactorily explains how III
subject came SO near them.
