Medical Students steal Corpse that

TOLEDO, o., Feb. 25.-Charles Martin
dale, young man, was stricken with
apoplexy five years ago and to all ap-
pearances died and was buried. Yes
terday he surprised his father and
mother by walking into the house. The
young man says that be was not dead,
but knew he was being laid out and
when be was buried On the night fol-
lowing the burial his grave was opened
by medical students, who took him out,
dressed him Up in a suit of black, took
him to the Office of a college professor,
and bolstered him up, intending to
frighten the doctor and then dissect the
body. The horrible situation had the
effect to bring young Martindale out of
his trance, as he calls it. As he was
deeply in debt and his father had re-
fused to help him, he left the town and
went West, leaving his parents to sup
pose him still IN the grave.
