A recent dispatch from Detroit says:
Three times in the past month has the
Detroit College of Medicine been broken
open and the bodies kept there TO sci
entiiic purposes been shamelessly and
wantonly mutlated. Last Saturday
night the thing was repeated, and the
desecration was of a more disgusting and
repulsive character than ever before.
The bodies were rendered unfit for use.
Hands and feet were cut off, throats cut,
heads tossed about, the bodies ripped
up and the entrais scattered over the
floor, while the alley in the rear was
! strewn with parts of the human an
! atomy. Drs. Mulheron and Wright, OF
the faculty, called a meeting and de-
manded an investigation. Suspicion rests
on John Croft, an Englishman OF
considerable wealth. Croft swore
, that he was miles away, but another
witness testified differently, and it leaked
out that Drs. Parker and Wyman, OF
the faculty, knew more about the case
than they had told. DR.. Mulheron
cal cd on them TO tell what they knew,
and they refused to say anything.
| very warm and personal discussion fol-
| lowed, in which Drs. Mulheron and
| Wright, who wanted the thing investi-
! gated and the vandals expelled, resigned.
The learned doctors Of the faculty called
each other pet names, and the affair
broke up in a general jawing match.
Medical circles are considerably disrupt
I ed, but the majority support Mulheron,
and think it time to stop such wanton
vandalism.
