Christian, the Resurrectionist.
He Is SENTENCED TO ONE YEARS IMPRIsoN-
MENT IN JAIL.
This morning in the Criminal Court, Judge
Cartier, George A. Christian, who il will be
recollected was arrested in December last, on
the charge Of Decorating grave and removing
dead body THAT of Thomas Fletcher) from
Holmead's burial gr0uns, was tried, convicted,
and sentenced December 18th by the Police
$1,000, was called up for sentence, having been
found guilty few weeks ago in this court, to
which he had appealed.
Judge Cartier latter hearing Christians an
swer that he had nothing to say why sentence
should not be pronounced), said thas the court
had come to the conclusion 10 remit the fine i'm
posed below upon the information that il would
operate as a punishment to Christians family
and the court did not propose to add TO the af-
nlction OF the family. He would therefore re-
init the nne. This case was not that of a stu
dent OF science in the pursuit of intelligence
Tor the purpose OF advancing his qualifications.
IL twas such a one much could be said in his
knowledge OF the structure of the human BODY
and this knowledge could only be obtained by
the examination Of the dead. But in this case
the seDsibihties OF the living have been wound
cd Your case is without apology; you pursued
this business, according to your book, and have
brought grief TO the living. There is nothing
in the case 70 induce the court to remit the inn
prisonment. He would, therefore Impose the
sentence, one year in Jail, less the time already
served under the sentence below.
Charles Green, the colored man arrested with
Christian at the same time under the same
charge, was called under the impression that
he had been instructed by counsel to enter a
plea, but he answered 10 the information that
ne was not guilty OF taking the body; was not in
the employ Of Christian, but In the employ of
Dr. Schleimer TO attend 10 his horse, sc. He
was therefore sent back to jail.
