Year: 1878

information the following was learned as 10
what manner John Scott Harrison's body
came into that institution.


They testified that they and the faculties
of other colleges throughout the country
have contracts with certain persons to sup
ply them with cadaycrs for dissection and
anatomical demonstration.


Ii is part of the contract with the restIr-
rectionsts that they shall not molest private
burying- g-grounds or the bodies Of thoss
whose surviving friends feelings would bs
shocked and outraged by the discovery that
the graves had been rihed. The Faculty
are not able to determine whether the bod
les supplied to them are taken from public
or private grounds, but they deplore any
invasion of the former for the important
reason il no other that it increases tho
difficulties and the cost of obtaining sub
jects for the dissecting table If the reSur-
rectionists violate their contracts in this
particular, and disregard the advice OF tho
Faculty, they do it at their own peril, aud
will not be shielded if discovered, by the
Faculty.


1t is also part of the contract with the
resurrectiOnists, at least in the case of the
Ohio Medical College, that they shall not
only place the cadaver in the dissectins
room, but shave the face, if there be \
beard, cut the hair, and inject the arteries
and veins with the substance used in pre-
serving the body.


In the case of Mr. Harrison, at the time
the body was taken to the dssecting-rOoIa.
none OF the members of the Faculty were


IN the building, orawarc that it had been
placed there.


The Faculty is not positive who the reg
NrreciOnist was, as there are several e.n-
Inv tp fr nSb


They also deny that they made any al
temptst to conceal the body. AS to Harri-
sons body being foundin the dead SHAFT"
there is nothing new about it. all bodies are
left dangling there, previous to being
brought TO the di3secting-room.


The Harrison brothers state that in their
search for Devins' body, at the Miami Medi-
cal College, on Twelfth street, they had been
furnished with every facility for doing So
by the faculty of the College They return
their thanks to them for their assistance,
which they failed to recognize in their treat
ment by most of the Professors Of the Oiaia
Medical College.


Another mysterious affair connected with
this College occurred at midnight last night.
The iiremen on duty at the Gifts Engine
house heard the noise of a wagon in the
alley running in the rear of the College.
They rushed out and found that the wagon
had been stopping in front of the chute
in which Iarr8OnS body had been throwa.
Some OF the, men followed it up Race street
and observed lying in the bed OF the wagon
something in the form of human body
| covered with blankets. There were also
number of mus<ets seen in the wagon.
What they were intended for no one exceIs
the three men in the wagon and perhaps
the Faculty of the College know.


A large and interested crowd gathered
into Squire Wrghts Office this morning 10
learn what disposition was to be made of a
Q. Marshall, the janitor of the Ohio Medical
College, who was arrested at the instigatiDa
of General Harrison for being connected
with the robbery of his fathers grave.


Mr.. Logan represented the defendant and
statedthat it was an open secret that the
matter was before the Grand Jury, and that
The Faculty had been arraigned before that
tribunal. That out of respect for the Grand
Jury the Faculty had submitted i'll silence
to the storm OF pubic Indignation, aud
therefore he would waive a preliminary ex-
animation on part of Mr.. Marshall.
General Harrison said it was a surprise
to him, after coming before this Court 10
investigate the matter thoroughly, to ek-
anime each and every member of the Fac
ulty, and put them under oath, that the
above course should have been adopted BY
Mr.. Logan. He said the day was merety
put off, but he was bound at another time
and place to have them put on the stand,
and give their knowledge concerning the
grave robbery. He and his brother had ta-
ken the course pursued by them hitherto.
| not 50 much to ayenge private grievances.
but more in behalf Of the public against
whom such an outrage had been committed.
| A lengthy conversation then ensued be
| tween Mr.. Logan and General Harrison.
| The former claimed that had the latter not
| pursued the course he had DONE the matter
would have been SnOOthed over to his en-
lire satisfaction, and all this trouble would
not have occurred. The General sail i,e
had gone to the Faculty but he obtained
no satisfaction Word had been given hia
that DR.. Secly could furnish him with the
name of the pcrpetrator Of the outrage, bat
on calling Oh that gentleman he was refused
the name, and therefore this course of ac-
ton alone remained for him to pursUc.
The affair was an outrage, such as never be-
| fore had been perpetrated. His father wGs
brought to that college and found there,
while searching for another body, in sued,
| condition rs to drive reason from lis
| throne. The community was also
outraged; that the carotid artery vas scv-
cred; that the in lection was made the Yetl-
erabic beard shorn off, aud the body f0',d
i'll that horrid chnto. is enough to make Gny
one believe that the Faculty we're guilty of
| this crime. Had they given us any satis-
faction there would not have been this Bit


Ter feeling. They, by shielding the gully
ones have made themselves ust as !iuiie
| Now let the case go TO the proper tribunal.


Mr. Logan agreed with General Harrison,
that if a man wilfully and knowingly
shields an ayowcd criminal 20 save him from
punishment, that man was just as guilty
He would not allow, however that any tsf
the Faculty did this. On the contrary, he
! said they merely dlo what their rules ard
regulations in such matters compelled tlrEga
to do, and that the bitter feeling agairls.
| DIR, Seely was wrong.


Squire Wright then said:


sitting here as an examining CourH, il is
my duty to bind the defendant over 70 tho
present or next term OF the Criminal Conr.
II any of you would suggest the amoun, Of
bail. will fix it So"


MIR. Norton, on behalf of Gen. Harris,n,
suggested that the bail be at the same figure
as fixed at the time of the arrcs OF Mar
