president of the cable road, testified that
they did not know of any offer having
been made by the company to aldermen,
either directly or indirectly, for the
Broadway franchise. The company was
authorized to issue $4,000, 900 in stock.
and in the latter part of lSS4 did issue

fed that McQuade favored the street

BALTIMORE. Dec. l2.-Early Friday
evening a negro man brought tothe Mary
land university on Lombard street the
body OF a white woman and left il with
Anderson Perry, the colored ~janltor, say
ing that he would call again for $l5, the
price agreed upon. The body was taken
to be prepared for keeping until needed
for dissection, but it was found that the
head was horribly crushed and there were
two wounds on the left breast.
The police were at once notified. Yes
terday a post mortem examination was
made. The physicians state positively
that the wounds were made after death.
leaving the inference that it was simply a
case Of body snatching and that the work
was done by a novice.
To-day, however, the body was identi-
fled as that of Emily Brown, a woman 60
years old, who for the past six months
had been boarding with Il colored family
In the western section of the city. She
was of dissipated habits and lived by
begging. She was at her home three
hours before her body was brought to the
university and it is now evident that she
was brutally murdered for the price her
body would bring.
BALTIMORE, Dec. ia coroner's
jury to-day investigated the death of
Emily Brown, whose body was carried to
Maryland university last Friday night
and sold for use in the dissecting rooms.
The evidence adduced and admissions
made by the men under arrest showed
that the woman was most brutally muir
dered by John Ross and Albert Hawkins,
the former confessing to having smashed
her skull with a brick, and stating that
Hawkins afterwards thrust Il 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 Ander-
son Perry, the colored %janitor of the uni
versity, 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 woman's identif-
cation, such as cutting off and burning
the hair, and washing the bloody clothing.
The men were actuated solely by the de-
sire to get the price of the body. The
coroner's Jury decided from the evidence
that Ross and Hawkins were murderers
and Perry an accessory, and will ask the
grand Jury to indict them.
