cepted II. and, upon the strength OF Or.
McGuire's order had IL removed to Sell

secretary of the Anatomical Board, as
soon as he learned OF this proceeding on
the part Of the colored politician, made an
effort 10 get the body from Selden. the
latter refused to turn IL over, so war
rant was issued and served, and Mara
ble's remains once more rested In dis
secting room, where II was quickly
"pickled." as the students call the process
by which a body is put in a proper state
10 be preserved, and laid away for future
use.
Mitchell and several colored ministers
went out Saturday night, and finally sue
ceeded in having the body turned over 10
them. though not until the former bad
written an apology for his action in Sc
curing the remains without the consent
