Badollet, who said he lived at ST;
King street, this city. was fount

Badollet had remained, tied and
cramped and with no clothing save

until 10 O'Clock yesterday morning.
The story that developed from the
startling discovery was one of the
most remarkable ever brought to
light in or near Baltimore. Badollet
at first asserted that he had been
waylaid by four men on the York
road, in front of the church at late
hour Saturday night, dragged over
fence into the burial ground,
stripped of his clothing, bound hand
and foot, enveloped in the shroud
and placed in the grave.

Church also believe that Badollet
had accomplices and will make
every effort to sift the matter thor
