THE OMAHA DAILY BEE , MONDAY , MARCH 8,1886. COLD STIFFS PAY FOR STUDY How a Strident at the State Medical School Met HSa Tuition Bill. AN OLD GHOUL STORY REVIVED , Motion for a Now Trial In the Cole- Miller Case A Pointer on Smith's Latest Movements Capital v tal Mention. IrnoM nre nnc's MNCOI.N IICREAU. ) Lincoln people will readily recall Iho excitement attendant upon tlio discovery of n stolen cornso In.st fall , nnd the inves tigation which followed , during wl Ich the instructors and professors of llio med ical school swore they know nothing of how the subject got there. The DBIJ now has good reason to bollevo that the body was procured by a student at tlio school in pursnnnco of a contract with tlio fac ulty by which he was to furnish subjects in payment for his tuition. On tlio morn ing after the discovery this student , who for the present shall bo nameless , told two or three intimate friends that ho nnd t\ brother searcher after anatomical knowledge had put the body in the room , nml described the whole transaction. Two days before , ho said , having hoard that an inmnto of the hospital for Iho in sane had died nnd was buried in the coin- lory attached to the institution , they bor rowed n team of horses nnd drove out there. Not knowing the exact location of the grave they inquired of an attend- unt , and on being asked what they want ed to know for , replied they were tomb- Htouu agents. This quieted the attend ant , and the student nnd his partner , hav ing in their mind's eye marked the spot , came back to town. Two days later they cot a horse and wagon , and loading in tlio necessary tools , started out about 10 o'clock at night. They reached the cem etery all right , but opened the wrong grave , and were afraid they had been misdirected. Finally they struck the right one , and when the box was reached the student's accomplice ) was so over come by the odor that lie nearly fainted , and was revived only by the use of Btimulants. The body was brought to town , mid driven up to the front of the dissecting room on Eleventh street. Thcro 0110 of the ghouh took it on his back and was carrying it up the Blairs on the outbido of the building when it slipped out of his grasp and rolled down to the sidewalk , xho noise aroused an old man living there , who came to the window ami looking down on the horrible Eceno , fell back paralyzed with fear. Together Iho student and his assistant boosted tlio corpse up the stairs and deposited - posited it in the room , well satisfied with their night's work. The above is in brief tlio story as told , by one of the participants in tlio affair , lieing warned by his friends to keep still ibout it lip became apprehensive , and to all questions bearing on the case after ward entered n general denial. The fact remains , however , that on the night the grave was robbed this student and mother man wcro soon by n lady to load lomo shovels in n wagon , and subse quently he exhibited to various people a piece of human scalp which ho said was taken from the same corpse. The BEU'S Informant has further signified his willingness , if necessary , to make affidavit to the matter as related. A. POINTER ON SMITH. The counsel for the defendants in the Cole vs Miller case liavo filed n motion for a now trial , which will probably bo heard by Judge Dundy. They allege misconduct on the part of the jury , and various errors in the trial , which they think entitle thorn to n-no'w hearing. In connection with this litigation a number of stories relative to the late lamented Loyal L. Smith , and his flight from Omnhn , have come to light. Ono of the most rccont and best is that told by Air. Rhodes , the financial agent for A. S. Gage & Co. , of Chicago , who was attending the trial as a witness. Mr. Rhodes says that bcforo going to Omaha Smith hail a love affair with a sporting woman at Albany , N. Y. . a remarkably handsome brunette , of'rich and eminently respectable family , After Smith had plucked his dupes and eono over into Canada to join the innumerable throng , ho Kent for this woman , who met him nt Toronto , when they wcro married. Both arc professedly anxious to reform and lead good lives. To do this they think it necessary to again become resi dents oftlio United States , or "God's country , " so to spunk , the moral atmosphere phereof the Dominion , laden as it is with tlio breath of so many crooked ex iles , not being conducive to any lasting desire in the right direction , But the army of merchants whom Smith deluded into the belief that ho was the Stewart ol the west , stand ready to cry , . "Give us our money , or go to jail 1" And so Smith and his wife linger on the other side , while nn attorney at Albany , acting foi Mrs. Smith's family , Is endeavoring to make a settlement with the creditors , The negotiations were begun a short time ago , and have not progressed much yet , most of those interested wishing to await llio result of the trial bofqro naming any basis of settlement. If the ilofundants won , Smith stock would go up. If they lost , il would go down , and twcnty-hvo cents on the dollar would bo an object , where in the former instance thrco times thai amount would not bo taken. The de fendants have boon beaten , but tlio prin cipal oiios arc still full of fight , nnd will not listen to terms of compromise until the case is fought to nnd determined by the courts of last resort.

At 0 o'clock Situr\Jay { moniing Ofllccr was summoned lo the corner of Sixteenth nnd Mason streets , by the startling news that a woman living in lint neighborhood was trying to strangle icr husband. Ho hastened to the place , and was confronted at the door by a voman , who , as soon as lie showed his ace in the house , rushed at htm with a butcher knife and fork in her hands , ittcrmg demoniacal yells , as slio made ho onslaught.

Ho hold her until assistance came , when she was placed in the patrol wagonalong with her husband nnd year- old baby. The woman who gave the name of Mrs. Ilelnts ! was nt once arraigned before Judge Stcnborg and questioned , through nn interpreter , as she could not speak a word of English.

Amusing Expcrlo'n'cofl of tlio Popular Orator Itolutc'd by Himself. Philadelphia.Timcs : The Into John 15. Gough told a story as well in private as in public. The following are remem bered among pome oi tlio experiences ho used to relate. "On ono occasion , " ho said , -I hail made an appointment in a small town in Massachusetts and rode several miles to fill it. On arriving I found no ono to receive mo. I asked a middle-aged rustic if ho could tell mo where 1 could find the president of the temperance society. " 'I ' reckon I'm him' , he ropliod.Iaconi- cally. " * Ah ! well , my name is Gough , ' I said. " 'Wall , I calkilato it's about time to skin in. ' "In wo went and I sat in a pew until ho came to mo and said : "I guess it's time to begin. ' " 'Is there anyone to offer prayer'I asked. " 'No ; the parson's away. ' 11 'Is there no deaconV " 'I 'sped I'm deacon. ' " 'Well , can't yon pray1 " 'No ; I reckon I never speak in mectin' . ' "As I passed into the pulpit ho stood beneath it and called out to the audience : 'Mr. Gough is in tie desk an' bo's a-gwine to lectur' . ' "I proceeded to 'lectur' as well as I could , and whim I had finished nnd taken my seat at the back of the platform my agricultural friend called out from below - low : 'Wo will now purceed to take up a collection for tlio benefit of tlio lectoorer , ' Ho then 'purccoded' to pass his hat around nmon" the people , who had begun - gun to rapidly leave the church as soon as they heard the ominous word collec tion. When he had completed this task ho dumped upon the table in front of the pulpit the contents of ills tile , and , shak ing the lining , said to mo : 'Thar ! That 'ore is all tur you. I ain't a-gwino to take nothin' out for the lights. ' "Tho amount did not exceed $1.50. " 'I don't ' want it , ' i said. " 'Wall , I swawl Yur don't want all that money ! ' " 'No. ' " 'Wall , then , I reckon I'll take it , ' and suiting the action to the word he swept the money into his hut , placed it on his head and walked oil' without another word , leaving mo to enjoy n hearty laugh as the only recompense for my night's work. ) "In ono of the first towns in which I spoke outside of Worcester 1 labored for thrco evenings and wuis told by the com- mittooo at thu conclusion of my last address - dross that they had no funds in the treas ury and did not like' to take up a collec tion , but that if I would come again and givu thrco more pctfires I would bo lib erally paid. I epnh.eutod , and shortly afterward began mV other course of three lectures. At the termination ol the second ono n gentleman arose and said that as Mr. Gough had not been paid on the occasion'ot his previous visit to that town ho du' csted that a collec tion bo taken up'lor. the purpose of re munerating him. ' ' ' ' I object to collections , ' said another gentleman'but ; ifjWiunust have ono lot it bo to-morrow night , when wo will al ! come prepared. ' The third evening was very rainy nnd a collection amounting to § 160 was taken up. A gentleman near the ( able remarked when the money was counted 'Tho amount is very small. I do noi mind making it up to two dollars out ol my own pocket , for the laborer is worth } of its hire,1 and lie very emphatically laid down two silver dimes. I refused tc take two dollars for six days' work , dur nig which my personal expenses had been five dollars , and departed. The next day I received from three liquor sellers a five-dollar bill enclosed in r letter , in which they said that the } thought I had worked hard enough to be better paid.

"Ono of the most terrible scones 1 ever witnessed throughout my forty years' career as a public spcakerand yet one with a very ludicrous side to it. oc curred at Dr. llorron's church , the First Presbyterian , Pittsburg , in 18.11. I was speaking to a densely-crowded house , when allot a sudden there \vas u terrific crash in the gallery. A frightful panic ensued. The puoplo thought the gallery was falling and made : i stampede to esuapo from the building. Some throw themselves from the gallery to the fioor below. Otheis jumped from the windows. In the midst of the confusion the stove was upset. Fortunately the lire in it was very low and no conflagra tion followed , but the occurrence terri fied the already frantic neoplu. Above the din I could hoar the stentorian tones of three or four powerful men in the front of the gallery , who seemed to bo trying to quell the panic by shouting at the top of their voice , while they gesticu lated wildly with their hands and arms. 'The fiddle ! it was the fiddle , the fiddle,1 but \vhat on earth a fiddle could have to do with it was moro than I could make out. At length some good urother near the pulpit struck up "From Greenland's Icy Mountains. ' Others joined in the familiar hymn and order and quiet were at length restored. The meeting did not last long , though , after that. When the audience him dispersed the fioor was strewn with false hair , hairpins , hats , bonnets , over-shoos , "loves , skirts , canes , caps and wraps of all kinds , overcoats and every conceivable article of wearing apparel. A large cartload of these things was taken to the mayor's office the next morning to await the claims of their owners. After the trouble was all over I learned that the crash which created the nanic was caused by some man's stepping upon the big bass fiddle , which was at thai time used in the choir and which , when not in requisition , was allowed to repose on the gallery fioor. This was what the mon in the gallery whom I hoard shouting about the liddlo wcro trying to explain to the fright- crazed people below. "While lecturing in England 1 had the misfortune to be introduced on ono occasion by a gentleman who dropped his hs from their proper places and put them on where they had no business to be , and who , when he came to make his speech of introduction , suddenly remem bered the scriptural story of Sainsom having slain a thousand witli the jaw bone of an ass , nnd of being rofreslieil , when subsequently thirsty , by a stream of water from the dry bone. Ho intro duced mo in the following terms : 'I take pleasure in introducing to you the horator of the hovening. 'E's come from the other side of the water and is going to speak to us on temperance a very dry subject. But I am sure when you have heard him YOU will bo reminder ! of the miraolo of Samson being refreshed by a stream of water from the jawbone of an bass.
