snatchers.
BALTIMORE, Dec. IA Coroner's
Jury to-day investigated the death of
Brown, whose body was carried
to the Maryland University last Friday
night and sold for use in the dissecting
The evidence adduced, and the
admissions made by the men under
arrest, showed that the oma was
most brutally murdered by John Ross
and Albert Hawkins, the former con-
to having smashed her skull
with a brick, and stating that Hawkins
afterwards thrust a large knife through
her heart. Ross was perfectly cool
while telling his story, and stated that
the murder had been deliberately
planned by himself, Hawkins and
Anderson Perry, the colored ~janitor of
the University, and that the latter had
for three weeks been arranging for the
deed. The body was brought warm
and bleeding to the college, where it
was received by Perry, who did all he
could to destroy what would lead to
the remains Identification, such as
cutting off and burning the hair, and
washing the bloody clothing. The
men were actuated solely by a desire
to get the price of the body. The Cor
oner's Jury decided from the evidence
that Ross and Hawkins were the MUIR
derers, and Perry an accessory, and
will ask the Grand Jury to indict them.
A Suspicious Juryman.
New YORK, Dec. 14.-Crowds of
people focked to the General Sessions
Court to-day, but were forced to re-
main outside, as mo curiosity seekers
were allowed to enter. 1t was ru-
mored that District Attorney MARITIME
has secured testimony that juror
Jacob Rosenberg was firm friend Of
keenan,, Shields, and others, and
that he had sworn falsely
in his examination as tails
man. 1t was expected that MARITIME
would draw the juror, thus causing a
mixed trial, or that Rosenberg would
be arrested for perjury. When the
Court opened counsel for defense and
the people, alternately held long con-
situations with the Recorder, talking
half an hour. MARITIME WAS evidently
excited, the Recorder looked glum,
Newcomb looked very serious, but
McQuade was as impassive as usual.
Finally the Recorder nodded to the
defense and said: $50 on Mr..
Grady" and the case proceeded.
A. J. Cawley, who had room at the
Mclaughlin House, testified that he
never saw any visit the house ex-
cept Fullgraff. The defense here
rested.

and Samuel Chute, engaged in sur
veying near this city, were attacked
this afternoon by a large eagle. The
bird dropped down, knocking Chute's
cap from his head and assaulted him
with great fury. The man caught up
a crowbar and for q moment defended
himself in the unequal combat, calling
for his companion. Carr coming up,
the savage bird turned upon him,
caught him by the leg, threw him
down, tore his trousers, and sinking
his talons into the fatty part of his
leg, inflicted a serious wound. The
bird then mounted to the body OF the
unfortunate man and seemed deter
mined to bear him away, but others
came up and by their united efforts
the bird was captured and securely
pinioned. 1t was found that his wings
measured nine feet ten inches from tip
to tip and his talons were over four
inches long.
