skeletons Exhumed.

Yesterday, while workmen we're en-
gagged in excavating for cellar on Beal
street, west of Shelby, they exhumed q
coffin containing human skeleton, and
during the process of excavation since
then three others. This morning ply
Biological examination of the skull was
made by the scientific reporter of the
LEDGER and a number Of other learned
gentlemen, and the conclusion arrived
at that at least one of the skeletons was
that of colored person, The others
were SO much decomposed as to defy
even conjecture. When or why these
bodies were buried there it is impossible
to surmise-as it was never burial
ground or hospital site--except upon the
hypothesis of human deprsVity and se-
cret interments by the occupants of the
little shanties that stood on this plot Of
ground. The coffin was deposited in the
earth about three feet below the surface,
and it is believed was not under ground
more than ten or twelve years. May it
not be that some bloody murder was
thus committed and concealed during
the times that tried mems souls? Per

The Effect OF Rewards and

The Three Highwaymen Arrested and
the Gold Watch Recovered
so by YIcksburg Officers.

When the Wesson and Speed rob-
berries by highwaymen took place in our
city the LEDGER gave the crimes that
publication and prominence they de-
served, and called upon the police au-
thorities to wake up and realize the stu
alton. The Wesson robbery was laughed
at by them, but the Speed garroting 7"
was like bomb-shell in headquarters
The three highwaymen," we knew
we'll enough, were not Memphis mack
erels. The robberies we're conducted in
too scientific manner To be the work OF
bunglers and novices. 1t was the adroit
handiwork Of the swell mob" from
Eastern cities. The highwaymen, after
capturing and holding the city for a
week, thought it advisable to leave, and
they left for parts unknown, but the press
and the telegraph were in advance Of
them, and the reward offered by Mr.
James Speed had stimulating effect
upon officials everywhere. Mr.. Speed
naturally felt indignant at being choked
and robbed on Madison street at half
past seven clock on Sunday evening
and had determined to spend large
amount of money in order to capture his
assailauts. Last evening he received the
following dispatches and sent back the
following answers:

TheophiIu.. the Mornlist

Charley Galena desires US to state
that Theophilus Walsh, the divine, ex-
quisite but eccentric Theophilus, is no
friend Of his, and that he merely left the
case of instruments with him to be taken
care Of. Like a good citizen, Galena,
when he suspected Theophilus, informed
the Chief OF Police, and caused the ar
rest of the hapless youth. Again, The
ophilus desires US TO state that he is
poor but honest young man. He has
read the newspaper articles concerning
him by the pale light that struggles
through the bars of bis prison cell, and
he characteristics them as misrepresenta-
tons, not to use harsher term. Within
a week" says the unhappy but hopeful
Theophilus, II shall convince the newspa
per men of the great wrong done to nj"
and then no doubt there will be tears Of
contrition and mutual Smiles" he
will again visit.the reverend gentleman
who staked him to the amount of three
dollars, when.the scales will be removed
from the eyes of those with whom he en-
trusted his valuable jewelry in token Of
his return. Theophilus can play the
character of Joseph to perfection, for he
moralizes well.
THEoPHLUs AND HIS PAwYs.
Last evening Mr.. Bancroft, dry-goods
salesman, called on DR.. VOORHEES,, and
displaying Q case Of surgical instruments,
asked him if it was his property-stating
that Theophilus Walsh had pawned the
case and two medical books with him for
FIVE dollars equivalent He further stated
that Theophilus claims to belong to St.
Georges Society-was unfortunate
hard up-hence be desired to pawn the
box and two medical books. DR.. Voor-
HES examined the case of instruments
and pronounced the opinion that it did
not belong to any physician in Memphis.
Mr.. Bancroft has the instruments, and
is DESTROYS Of finding the true owner Of
the same. ..,-r.Lt q.
