the President-Where His Remains
viii best-The Autopsy, SC.
New YORK, Sept 21.-The evening
Posts Long Branch special says: The
President is laid out in the same suit of
clothes which he wore on Inauguration
day. His left hand is laid across his
breast, after the manner he had in life.
This was done in order to make his re-
semblance as near to lite as possible.
The body is so greatly shruuken that
artificial means had 10 be reSorted to
TO give his clothes the appearance of
fitting. In addition to the natural shrink
age from his illness, the operation con-
nected with the autopsy has left his
body in even a more emaciated state. A
plaster cast was taken of his face yes
terday, as well as of his right hand. In
taking the cast of his hand it was some-
what discolorcd, SO that his hand pur-
posely, will not be seen. The effect of
the oil used upon his face prior to tax
ing the cast, disfigured the features some
what and slightly altered the color of the
face so that his appearance i very much
less natural even than it Was Just after
death. The President had massive
head and the large bones show very
prominently. His checks are fallen in.
The beard has been so arranged about
the parotid gland as TO conceal that scar,
and such arrangements have been made
about the pillow as to still further hide
the swellings which Slapped away his
life.
The journalists who have been so
closely watching the Presidents case all
these weary weeks, were given the first
view of the body. Senlries stood at
either side of the entrance The coffin
lay in the hallway of the lower floor,
with a soldier at the head and foot of it.
The coffin was black, with silver han
dies. Black rods ran along the side, and
upon the top was silver plate, with The
following inscription:
