KILLED FOR DISSECTION.
The Horrible Murder OF a White Woman
in baltimore by Two Negroes.

BALTIMORE, December 12.-Ahout 6
o'clock or Friday evening 4 negro man
came to the Maryiand University on
Lombard street with the body Of
white woman and lett it with 4inder
son Perry. the colored janitor, saying
he would call again for SIS, 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 that
there were two wounds in the left
breast, and the police were ut once no.
titled. Yesterday post-mortem exam
nation of the body was made and ply
sicians stated positively that the
wounds were made after death, leaving
the inference that it was simply a case
of body snatching, and that the work
had been done by novice. To-day,
however, the body was identified as
that OF Emily Brown, a woman 90
years Of age, who for the last six months
had been boarding with colored fami-
ly in the western section of the city.
She was of dissipated habits and lived
on what she could beg. 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 for
use on the dissecting table. Perry, the
ianitor, who received the body, denies
that he ever saw the woman, but he is
known to have been boardcr at the
SAME house and to have eaten breakfast
with her on the morning of her murder.
He was arrested to-day as an accessory
to the crime. Late tonight John Ross
and Albert Hawkins, both colored,
were arrested and confessed to having
killed the woman at the instigatlon OF
Janitor Perry. They followed her to
her room and Ross smashed her head
with 4 brick, while Hawkins held her
and stabbed her through the heart with
Il knife. They then carried the body
to the University in bag furnished by
Perry, who received it and shaved the
head to make Identification difficult.
The bloody clothing was thrown into Il
tub of dirty water. Ross boarded in
the house with the woman. The price
to be obtained for the body was the
sole object of the murder.
