GUITEAU WAS DOSED

With Brandy.
TAKEN TO THE sCAFFoLD DRUNK

System Was Shattered
TAKEN TO THE sCAFFoLD DRUNE

Feu over in n Dead Faint When He Heard

Arms-Ths Body Never Was buried
Boiled Until the Flesh Had Fallen from
His Bones-The Latter Then Gather ed
Together and Bleached.
WASHINGTON, March 21.-Dr. Tilden,
former chemist at the National Medical
Museum has told the reporter some un-
written history about Giteau, President
Garfeld's assassin. He said that the
assassin went to the scaffold in a semi
drunken condition.
"This," added the doctor, twas a
necessity"
"You are aware that when the squad
of soldiers entered the Jail rotunda
short while before the execution, and
came to order arms with a loud bang,
Guiteau fell over in a dead faint. His
nervous system was shattered and the
physicians felt they would be unable to
get him to the scaffold.
"a consultation was held and it was
decided to give him dose of brandy.
This was done, and he got a big dose,
too. Not being used to drinking the
dose went to his head, and his % Lordy'
song on the scaffold was, in my estima-
ton, drunken effusion.n
Dr. Tilden also described how the body
of Guiteau was removed to the Museum,
then located on Tenth street He said
the body was never buried, but after
being placed in the coffin, was taken
down into the Jail cellar, where il re
mained until after midnight. Soon after
| that hour an ambulance drove up to that
building and the remains were quietly
| placed therein and quickly driven down
town. They were taken into the Museum
through the alley which runs from +
street Once in the building, all that
remained of Charles j. Guitesu was
taken into the boiler room and placed in
an immense boiler, where he was allowed
to boil and bubble till all the flesh had
fallen from his bones. The latter were
then picked out and bleached, and some
day they will form a mighty interesting
exhibit ,u taa Medical Museum.

Bath in an Immodest Spectacle.
DETROIT, Mich, March 21.-The fol-
lowers Of the new latter house of Israel,
with Prince Michael at their head, still
continues to furnish their daily quota OF
sensations. There are windows in Prince
Michaels heaven, windows without cur
tains and blinds, and it is not a difficult
task to witness the proceedings within
the sacred dwelling from the street or
neighboring houses.
Michael and his angels are the chief Of
Tenders. Residents on Smith avenue
have the bath room of the heaven In full
views and they assert that the Prince as
sumes the role of Knight OF the Bath
when the angels are performing their alb
lutions.
So immodest was the spectacle that
the Prince was requested by the indig-
nant neighbors to put up screens. He
complied to the extent of pasting whlto
paper ON the windows, and now evenings
the exhibitions are like silhouttes. The
neighbors contemplate complaining
against Michael on the grounds of inde-
cent exposure

CAIRO, Jan. lin an interview to-
day, Father Ohrwalder, the priest who was
formerly connected with the Austrian Sou
dan mission, and who recently escaped
from the Mahdists after nine years of cap
tivity, confirmed the report that tho Mahdi
was poisoned, and repeated in detail the
events that led to his death.
Father Ohrwalder says that after the
Mahdi had tired of warfare he withdrew
| to Omdurman to enjoy a life of licentious-
ness. Among his prisoners was the
daughter of wealthy citizen of
Khartum, whose property was con-
fiscated when Khartum was cap
tured by the Mahdists. All his children.
except the daughter, were butchered, and
knowledge of poisons she obtained one

death, and gave it to him in drink
