Removal OF the Body Found in the Dfs.
secting Room OF the Medical College,
The Question of Identity Growing In
Importance.
[From the Buffalo Courier. Oct. lo.l
The body OF the woman found on one Of the dis
rectnn tables in the Medical College on Thursday,
and identified by the husband and others as that
OF the late Mrs. Richard j. Carey, was removed
yesterday forenoon to Mr.. Crowley's morgue
where it will be detained until the present mystery
which hangs over 1t is cleared up. Nothing OF in.
terest has transpred In reference to the case since
our last report, ana further developments will
scarcely be made before the preliminary exami-
nation OF the medical students.
In view OF the importance OF the case, and the
interest which the general public and the
outraged family have in It, reporter OF the
courier was last evening requested to procure
from DR.. julius F. Miner his views Of the case,
since 1t was understo that he had opinions on
the subject. Our reporter found DR.. Miner unex-
pectedly outspoken and positive about the affair."
He is q member OF the College Council; Is Its Pro-
welfare OF the INSTITUTION. Setting aside the con-
versatonal feature OF the interview, the following
Is
DIR. MINERS STATEMENT.
l have bestowed upon this matter my personal
attention, and am perfectly satisfied OF the inno-
cence OF the college. am not connected with the
anatomical department; but 1t is very important
to the citizens OF Buffalo, az well TO the Medical
thoroughly established. The Faculty deeply regret
that any depreciation OF the kind should occur in
TINS vicinity calculated to excite suspicion against
the institution. This Is the dissectlng term In me
college, and subjects are supplied from legal
sources. Our dissections are made In open session,
with doors open to ali who may ask admission
as much 50 as In any OF our public schools,
although. OF course. 1t Is not expected that the
privacy OF the dissecting room VIII be invaded by
the public The fact that the body found on the
dissectlng table had almost been publicly exposed
is proof or the innocence or the college, The author
tiles have taken the body or female from the
dissecting table, and the husband, the sister and
undertaken Crowley claim 1t as the body OF Mrs.
Carey; while the college has the best OF proof that
the body IN question was on the dissecting table
before the death OF Mrs. Carey. Furthermore, her
attending physician and many well acquan ted
with her. are ready to swear that II Is not the
body OF Mrs. Carey. In other words, the college
knows that It is not the body and have sufficient
evidence to prove 1t to the satisfaction OF all The
college has made a formal claim to the body taken
from Its dlssecting room, and intend to enforce
the same A post-mortem examination Is to be
made, which win show beyond doubt that the
body taken Is not that OF Mrs. Carey.
CLEAR CASE
Is here made, and the question or identity can
only be satisfactorily settled by post-mortem ex-
animation. The parties on both sides OF this case
bevond doubt honest in their CONVICTIONS, but,
necessarily, one or the other is in error.

the Consul General never alluded to the afiair
