Police Order AbOliSheS a
Bad Precedent.
Dead Bodies No Longer 10 Be
Exposed to Curious.
Some of the Shocking Spectacles
Under Old Practice.

IAN order, recently issued by authority
of the Mayor, 10 members of the police
department, provides that when dead
body is found 1t shall be removed to
some place near the point at which 1t was
discovered, where 1t will not be exposed
to the view of the morbid and curious.
This is but tardy recognition OF pro-
priety and decency In such cases, for the
community has been many times shock
OF persons who have died from violence
at their own hands of by accident, have
been exposed, in all the gbastliness OF
deaf b, to the gaze OF curious crowds while
hours were spent in searching for med
ical examiner or before that Office was
created, in finding coroner. The medi-
cal examiners are not to blame because
they are not on hand to respond inn
mediately to every unexpected call. The
compensation they receive from the per-
formance of off1cial duties is not sufii-
cient TO maintain them and they are
therefore compelled to attend to their
regular practice as physicians.
As matter of fact, however, there was
never any reason for the indecent and re-
pulsive practice OF permitting bodies to
remain exposed until a medical examiner
had responded, save long custom and
precedent. Just how this precedent was
established ii is now impossible to say
definitely, but 1t may have grown out of
q too marrow construction OF the law
which provided that coroners, aud later,
medical examiners should view the re-
mans of every pers on who met death
through violence or accident or who had
died suddenly and without the services
- atxt~ 10 hull
also that persons finding the body of a
person who has died by violence have
hssitated to move or touch 1t until the
arrival OF a properly authorized officer
lest they might in some way be held ac-
tountsble for the fatality, or that by in

Has the opportunity been offered our
from such an extenalyc and beautiful
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1896-05-20
AauEsTION TO FACE.

In the Democratic meetings recehtS
held only about five or six counties or
cities have spoken with reference to hoii-
ing a constitutional convention. All ex-
cept one of these have pronounced IN
favor OF the proposition. All the ether
counties and cities a sol smn silence hold.
As rule. our newspapers and puplc
men steer clear OF the discussion OF the
northumberland question. Hence
little Is being said about II. But IL
ought 20 be thoroughly and candidly DIS
cussed. for we shall have to- take some
action upon II at stanton. We take IL
that in any event the Stanton conven-
ton will answer the false charges
brought against us by the state Re-
publican Convention. but how much
farther ought our convention to go?
That's the question. that's what our
people should be thinking abou: now.
Shall we on June 4th pronounce In favor
OF a constitutional convention, and recon-
mend our voters to go TO the polls next
May and vote aye?
Or. shall we say that this is not suit
ton, and urge our voters to go to the
polls next May and vote no?
or. shall we provide for the calling OF
n special State Democratic convention TO
assemble after the presidential conven-
tion. 10 make a deliverance for our party
as IN what action our voters would bet
ter take?
Or. shall we ignore the question az
stanton. and leave our voters to deter
mine for themselves in Msy next whether
n would be wen or i'll TO vote in favor OF
calling n convention? In other words
shall we. with divided ranks. go to battle
against the solid phalanxes of the He
publicans?
One or another of these things our
convention, when assembled at Staunton'
will have to decide upon.
For some time after the last Legislature
adjourned the Dispatch entertained the
hone that our stanton convention would
see its way clear 10 endorse the constitu-
tional-convention scheme, and rally our
solid marty vote TO the support OF the
proposition. but since then political cen
d:tions have changed, and we grieve
IN say that the future is full Of uncer-
tainty. Some months ago we thought
that the duty of the Stanton conVen-
ton with respect to a constitutional con-
vention would be clear; now doubts I'LL
our mind This being the fact we say
so candidly.
We invite thoughtful Democrats to con-
slider and advise with us as to what
course the stanton convention would
better take upon this subject We speak
I'm time. so that men to whom the con-
vention will naturally look for guidance
will not go to Stanton without having
given the subject some thought Ac'ion
of some description will be required Oh
us at stanton. and we should cohsider
what action of ours would be best for the
people Of Virginia.
