LINCOLN's REMAINS.
Denial of the Story that They Have Been
Removed from the Sarcophagus.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, April 2S.--In answer to
inquiries, Mr.. ]. c. Power. custodian OF the
Lincoln sarcophagus, makes the following
statement:
A few days previous to the dedication of
the monument, Oct. u.s. 1874 the body of
Mr.. Lincoln was taken from an iron coffin,
put in lead one and soldered perfectly air
tight, then into a wooden one made of mar
row strips of red cedar and all put in the
marble sarcophagus in the catacomb of the
monument. When the would-be robbers
visited it on the evening of Nov. 7, 1876, they
removed the lid and end-piece of the sarco-
phagus next the door, and drew the wooden
and lead collins, with the body inclosed; partly
out, when they were disturbed by the off
GERS of the United States secret service in an
attempt to capture them, and the thieves es-
capped. Everything remained as they left it
until the afternoon of the second day, when
every screw in the wooden coffin was ex-
amined and the creaSes in them were found.
one and all, to be filled with rust, proving
beyond doubt that neither the wood nor
lead collins had been opened All were then
pushed back into the sarcophagus, and it
cemented perfectly tight, as it had been be-
fore their visit. The remains have never
been removed from the monument from that
to the present time, and ell is absolutely
safe,
As to indications of petrifaction, the idea
of any substance in an alright lead inclos-
ure turning to stone, no matter where it may
be placed, is too absurd for moments seri-

Madness in Court-A Prisoners Determine
ton to Leap from a Window.
ROCKFORD, April 29.-Walter Upstone, the
DeKalb county murderer, was brought into
the Circuit Court. yesterday to be present
when Judge Brown passed on the motion of
the prisoners counsel for a new trial. For a
awhile the murderer sat as unconcerned as
any one else in the room, but suddenly he
jumped up and started for one of the large
windows in the courtroom, saying: II will
go through that glass; you can't hold me-"
The sheriff. at this point of the proceedings,
pulled out his irons and attempted to place
them on the prisoners wrists. Upstone re-
sisted, and quite scuffle ensued between
him and the four officers, who had as much
as they could do to iron the man. During
the scufle the man who had attempted the
insane dodge, but failed, kept shouting at
the top of his voice: '.Don't l know? Don't
want to see? The Lord is going to bring
them down from heaven. Get out of my
way, G. d. you! Guess / am all right.
Can't see." The court after endeavoring
repeatedly to render proper decision, over
ruled the motion for a new trial and re-
manded the prisoner to Jail, where he will
remain until sentenced to the penitentiary
for the term of seventeen years, as fixed by
the jury at the time of the trial.

Judge Monks delivered a twelve min
utes charge that was considered fair, but
rather favorable to the defense, and
the jury retired, allowing the troop
of parties to the trial just time enough to
catch the o'clock train for this CITY, where

whether this will end all trouble between
