night about 3 O'Clock by Ellen

by the warehouse and heard its
faint and lonely cries in the dark.
She was overcome with excite

up courage enough to care for it,,
and take it into her cabin for a
nights lodging. Early this morn
ing she reported the matter TO
police headquarters, and all day

"This child | leave n-tho hands
of some dear one, trusting that it

in the sight of the Heavenly One,

Unless the city authorities can
find some home for it here It will
be sent to the county poor house.
The police are working on the

the child came. The supposition
Is that it was brought here on one

bribery III the criminal court to-
night and was sentenced to five
years prIsonment in the State
penltentlary, after the jIry had
considered for so minutes it's YER.
dict on the case, and after a trial
which had occupied an entire
week.
The decision was reached after
almost four hours of arguments
by the attorneys for the defense
and the State.
No bOudsmen were present
when Snyder's convictions was
announced, the defense apparent
iy having been confident that it's
testimony concerning Snyder's
residence in Kansas City would
convince the jury that he was en-
titled to the benefits oC the stat
ute Of Limitation as a shield fer
his crime.
The incarceration Of the con
vlcted man seemed to be immi
nent when ,wo Of his attorneys,
Judge Henry 5. Priest aud Nor.
ton Jourdan, signed his appeal
bond for $4,000, securing his
release until the term OF court
commencing Monday. EARLY in
this term Snyd will be sem
fenced and motions tor appeal
and a new trial fled.
The close OF the trial az mark

terest.
Durini the final pleading of
case the court room overhowed
with spectators.
During the speeches of Judge
Priest for the defense and Cir.
cult Attorney Folk for the State
the utmost stiffness prevailed.
Especially did all reference to
the crime Of bribery hold the in
terest of the defendant. The
crowd grew greater aud betting
pools were formed by speculative
persons in the Four Courts cor
ridors. The most favorable pre-
dictlons made in Snyder's behalf
was a hung jury.
In the whIrl of the current of
intense interest which revolved
around him, Snyder sat apparent
ly immoblle.
When the verdict was read
hardly an instant's change in his
expression could be noted.

Whole Country Indignant Over
Operations Of GhOuis.

indianapolis, Ind, OF. 1 -
Sensational Developments came
to Light this afternoon ia tie in
vesngation Of the wholesale grave
robberies that have ocCurredin
this vicinity during the last few
months. Today detectives un.
eartbeG 10 bodies in the cellar OF
ihe Medical College of Indiana.
A gang Of 10 negroes was az
rested several days ago charged
with the ghCulish work and thei.
leader, Rufus Cantrell, since his
arrest has confessed to many OF
the rObberies and informed the
authorities that others have been
operating in cemeteries in this
and adjoining counties, and that
many ol The robberies accredited
to bis following really have been
committed by others.
People who recently have bur
led relatives in various cemeteries
are greatly excited and since the
developments of the last few
days many graves have been re-
opened to see il the caskets have
been tampered with. Investiga
ton in several of these cases has
revealed empty caskets. Every
medical college in this city has
been thoroughly searched for the
stolen bodies, but to no avail!
Six bodies were found in a pick
ing vat at the Medical College OF
indiana, the off "ials of this insti-
t0tion proving they had been
lawfully obtained and asserting
that there were no other bodies
about the buildings.
Detectives went TO the college
today with search warrant for
the body of Wallace johnson,
which had been stolen from the
grave In the Ebenezer cemetery.
northeast of the city. The co!
lege Officials were reluctant to al.
low them to make the search
The detectives, however, insti
tuted a rigid search of the build
ing and as last resort, raised
the floor in the cellar. They
soon uncovered the remains of 10
bodies. An attempt had been
made to destroy the remains with
lime.
The college officials are very
indignant at the latest phase in
the situation and claim the
bodies unearthed today are those
OF subjects dissected by the stu
dents OF last year that some of
them are cadavers which were in
the diSsecting room when the
building was burned several
years ago. The detectives claim
the bodies have been recently
buried, and that the evidence of
quick lime is very apparent. The
bodies are of both men and wo.
men, but are in such a state that
identification is impo lie.
Search for the stolen bodies will
be continued.

NATURE OF THE OPERATION.
Prominent Chicago Doctor Describes
How the Surgeon Works.

Prominent Chicago Doctor Describes
How the Surgeon Works.
Operations such as King Edward un-
derwent were described by a Chicago
surgeon as follows: The patient is pre-
pared for the ordeal by thorough scrub
bing Of the body. After being placed on
the operating table the patient is again
scrubbed. the spot directly over the ap-
pendix being especially secured with anti
septic soap.
After an anaesthetic is given to the pa
tient the surgeon makes an incision on
the right side Of the body between the
umbilicus and Poupart's ligament. Usu-
ally the incision is about one and half
inches, through the fascia, external and
internal oblique muscles. Then the peri
toneum is picked up on each side with ar
terry forceps and an incision made through
this tissue so as not to injure the intes-
ttnese.
Then the fingers are inserted and the
appendix drawn up through the wound
and held in position by retractors. If
found necessary to take the appendix out
amputation towels are used to keep the
appendix warm. After amputation Of the
appendix the mucous membranes are
drawn together and sutures put in. \
drainage tube is frequently necessary.
Then the wound is dressed.
DR.. Cyrus Edison Of New York explain
ed the Kings illness and the operation as
follows:
"Perityphlitis is inflammation. including
the formation Of an abscess of the TISSUES
around the -veriform appendix. Hence
perityphlitis is hard to distinguish at
once from appendicitis. Usually an OPP
Grafton is necessary to ascertain whether
the appendix or the surrounding tissue is
diseased. In the Kings case the opera
ton was an immediate necessity because
the abscess had to he reached and emp
tied OF its contents, or pus."
