PHANTOM PATROL WAGON
Strange Story of Body That Lies
in the Baltimore Morgue.
Only Tangible Thing In connection
wt,b ,b,. Mysterious A flair Is the
Very Decidedly Genuine Corpse.

,saltimore, Sept 2S.-There is body at
+bo CITY morpue which was received at 2:4o
O'Clock wednesday afternoon, under the
name of Theodore German. Nothing else
is known about the man. The attendant
saws that lie received the body IN an al
most nude condition from the central dis-
,rict patrol wagon, and that the driver
told him the name was Theodore Gorman,
hut the other particulars could not be op
tanned from Coroner Hill, who also had the
mans clothes.
The attendant says he is positive ABOUT
the above facts: that he knows the drives
of the wag on, and could not be mistaken III
him. The attendant also says that the
body looks as if the man died of arsenical
poison. hut he referred the reporter 10
Coroner Hill for further information.
DIR. Alexander Hill, the coroner, was seen
by a reporter, but he absolutely and posi-
lively denied knowing anything whatever
about the man, and as for his clothes, he
said, he had never Seen them.
The central district" said DR.. Hill,
Twill give you all the Information you
want" But the same lack of nowledge
was manifested by the police on the SUD-
ject Moreover, it was said that the record
showed that the wagon had not been out
at that time.
When told that the keeper of the morgue
said he knew Officer Gaffney and that the
wagon had two horses attached to IT
Lieut.. Busick said that Officer Gaffney
was at his dinner at the hour mentioned,
and, although the central wagon is the
only one in the city, with two horses, ii
was not out at that time, and therefore
the morgue keeper could not have received
the body from it.
Inquiry at the other police districts
failed to throw any light on the mystery
involving the body, the police at each and
every one denying that they had sent the
body to the morgue. The morgue keeper
said that he had heard, after re received
the body, that il was found on Green
mount avenue, between Madison and TruX-
ton streets, but he could not say it was a
TACT.
Inquiry in the neighborhood revealed
dense ignorance of anything relating to
the matter. The attendant says he has
the body; that 1T looks like that of a Ger
man, and that he would really like to
know something about 1t. No one has
made Inquiries at the morgue for the body
as yet.

Mr. Morss was asked about the stories
which have been in circulation that he
had been called home for consultation in
the Waller case, and that he had been
scheming to supplant ex-senator Eustis
as amba ssador at Paris.

me in New York. l have not the slightest
ambition to succeed Ambassador Eustis-
Il do not think he cuntemplatcs resign

been considered. He is an amable, dig
nified and popular representative of the
United States, and he has made record
in the Waller and all other matters u
every way admirable and creditable."

GENERAL SPORTING NOTES.

The friends of young John Crum In
the Chicago Athletic Association are very
bitter in their denuncia;ion OF the treat :
ment accorded the famous sprinter by the
New York Athletic Club during the prep
arations for the contests with the English
athletes. 1t is charged that Murphy. the
trainer of the New York men, took a dis
like to Crum because he bid fair TO out
do wefers, who was a fa- rite with him,
and treated Crum with such coldness and
neglect that he wounded his pride and
discouraged him to such degree that the
iowa boy actually became ill, though lie
refused To give up in his work.
Harry Cornish. the famous Chicago ath-
Iete who saw Crum in New York before
and after the contests, says that Crum
was completely disheartened and wholly
unfit to make anything like the showing
of which he is capable, and that it was
no doubt the unfair. petty meanness of
Murphy and his cronies that broke him
down.
