Hon. j. 8. Harrisons Body Found In q
OiRsectiug Room.

DNSSSAAe6 AeVVAAAs
C1No1ssA11, O., May 3d. Considerable ex-
element was created here to-day by the
accidental discovery of the body of Hon. J.
Scott Harrison, who was buried yesterday in
his family vault at North Bend, in the dis
secting rooms of the Ohio medical college.
A body had been stolen at North Bend within
part of the week, and son of Mr.. Harrison,
accompanied with friend, was seeking it
to-day around the medical colleges of this
city. It was not known that Harrison's body
had been taken until his son recognized it in
the rooms of tho Ohio medical college. The
janitor of the college was arrested.
It appears that young man named
Devins died at North Bend last night, and
yesterday, while the services at Mr.. Harri-
sons grave were progressing, John Harrison
and Geo. Eaton thought they observed ap-
pearancesi about Devins' grave which were
suspicious. After the funeral they caused
an examination of the grave to be made, and
found it had been robbed. Preparations were
made to prevent q similar dissertation of
Mr.. Harrison's grave, and the coffin was en-
closed in a wall of brick, and the whole
covered with slab of single heavy stone
set in cement. The grave was left open to
allow the cement to harden, and watchmen
placed in charge. Last mig these men
came to Cincinnati in search of Devins'
body. They procured search war
rants for all the medical colleges,
and accompanied by detectives first
visited the rooms of the Ohio medical
college. They found nothing, and were
about leaving when one of their number
noticed rope, attached to windlass, was
down the chute and evidently had something
attached to it. Upon drawing it up the
naked body of man was discovered hang
ing by tho neck, with cloth over all. As
the hair was gray. they said it was not De-
viens' body, and were about to leave
The detective suggested that they uncover
the face and see who it was. They i'm
mediately recognized Mr.. Harrison, and
John Harrison stayed with the body till 6
coffin was procured and the body placed
therein and removed to the undertakers
| The janitor was at once arrested. 1t is re-
ported tonight that several persons a
Cleves, near the North Bend, hav.
been also arrested and charged
with completely in the outrage Relative
of the deceased now in this city express
determination to prosecute to the fullest OK
tent of the law all guilty of this act of van
dalism, or of accessories thereto. Excite
ment at North Bend is intense. Mr.. Harri
son was the son of e1-President Harrison
and widely known.
