THE STOLEN BODY RE-INTERRZD—JAN3EN,THE RESUR- RECTIONIST, ARRESTED. The body of Charles Shaw, which was found in a hack, by Li-ut. Johnson, of the secon precinct, yesterday morning, was re-interred in the Potter's fleld yesterday afternoon. Jansen, the resurrec- tontst, was arrested later in the afternoon, by Sergeant-Redway, at a restaurant on 7th street. Jansen Was arrest? by instructions of the coro- her, for complicity in the theft of Shaw’s bedy. Frown statements made by Jansen and the hack- man it appears that Jansen, with a comrade, secretly took the bo ly from the dissecting room of the Georgetown Medical college eariy yesterda: Morning, tnd had the hackman drive to ihe Freed- man’s hospital. While Jinsen was inside, the hackman, discovering the body in the hick, be- came frightened and drove towards the city again, ant was pickel up by the police, It appears that the hackman drove first, by mistake,to the Column- bia university;, hence {t was daylight when they Teached the¥reedinan’s hosp JANSEN DENIES MAKING A CONFESSION. ‘This morning Jansen was taken to the Police Court in the van, with Mack, the hackman, wi0 was held asa witness. Jansen was seen in a Po- lice Court cell by a Star seporier. When his at- tention was cid to the statement in a moraing te €ffect tht he had made a contessioa, id it Was not true; that he was not as big d fool as that yet, and he did not know then what he Was arrested for. THE CHARGE AGAINST JANSEN. District Attorney C. 8. Moore prepared an Infor- mation agalnst Jansen under the name of “Vigo Jansin Ross,” charging him with malicious tres- pass in “ hat he, on the 22d of January, willfully and maliciously and wantonly and without cause and without color of rignt the dead body of one Charles Shaw did unlawiully and indecently ai up, take and carry away from a certain graveyard, * * * with intent the dead body aforesaid un- lawfully to sell and dispose of the same for gain and profit.” ‘The witnesses are John Mack, the hackman; Jacob Smith, colored; William Heck, Lieutenant Johnson, Sergeants Saffell and Redway. Before Jansen was called up he had a long in- terview with E. K. D. Mayne, bis counsel, and it 1s understood that he dented everything. At 11:10 o'clock the court room was filled to over- flowing, and when Vigo Jansen Ros: was called he promptly appeared _at the rail, while there was a whis ‘That's Jansen.” The prisoner was al- lowed to sit by his counsel. TESTIMONY OF THE HACKMAN. The hackman, John Mack, who will not be pro- secuted, testified that he met Jansen in the Balti- more and Ohfo depoton Tuesday morning and asked him if he knew Dr. Tanner, and then was engaged by him to drive him to 10th and F streets, After getting a drink he started, and at 7th and the Avenue another party got in, and they then drove to 10th street, between Ean F. Witness was then sent up to the corner to get a drink, and when he came back one man was standing there, and he was told todrive to Howard University. This was early In the morning, almost 5 o'clock, avd they went to E and 13th and got a drink, an they drove on to the Free lman’s hospital. On the Way out Jansen stopped the hack and got on the Dox, and when they got to the hospital Jansen wentin. After waiting some time witness found that there was adead ‘man in the hack, and he Grove around to the station, where he was de- taine On cross-examination witness safd that when he went to F and 10th streets to get a drink he lett the hack some little distance below, and returning the two men were talking, and, Jansen saying he was ready, he got in and the otlier man wentoff. Wit- ness was not the first one tosee the body. A col— ored man came along and said: “—-——1 What have you in the hack?” THE BODY IDENTIFIRD AS SHAW’S. A representative of THe SraR testified to Shaw having been bung, to his having been taken to the potter’s fleld for vurial, and to the body found in the hack having been that of Shaw to the best of Ris bellet. JANSEN OFFERS THE BODY FOR SALE. Dr. Furman J. Shadd, house surgeon of Freed. man’s hospital, testifled that he found Jansen in the hospital about 7 o'clock, who wanted him to ake the body, saying it was Shaw's, evidently thinking that it was a bonanza, and he told him that he did not want it. Jacob Smitn, colored, testified that he saw the defendant at Mra. Sheeny’s, 62 7th street, and he asked witness about Dr. Babbitt, ana sa “Tam the man that took up Shaw.” Wm. Hick testified to seeing Jansen at Shechy’s Posterday and to hearing him say that he got the ody Of Shiw, and the clothes were thrown in the grave and the shoes left at the poor house. Ser- geant Redway, who made the arrest, testified and the government here rested the case. Mr. Mayne argued that there was no evidence that the grave Nad been robbed or, in fact, that Shaw was buried. Mr. But he says he took the body. Mr. There 1s no punishment for lying. If he had said this tt did not prove that it was s The court safd he had the dead body in his pos- session. JANSEN’S STATEMENT, Jansen or Ross was then placed on the stand and testifie that he took the hack at the B. & 0. depot and went to the Georgetown college and he took the body from the dissecting table; that the hackman helped him. He had seen ‘the body ‘ore. ‘Mr. Moore.—Did you see Shaw's body before ? Sansen.—I can’t answer that question. Mr. Moore.—Did you see it In the grave? Jansen.—I can’t answer that question. notiitness heard that he was buried in the potter's eld. Q.—Did you see him there ? A.—I can’t answer that question. ‘Witness did not tell any one that he came here to get the remains of Payne. Witness declined to answer how long he had been engaged in grave robbing, or to say that he was engaged tn it. Wit- ness was a student of medicine, and hud been en- Saged in superintending a coal thine. Mr. Mayne argued that this testimony did nct show that he had robbed the grave. ELEVEN MONTHS AND TWENTY-NINE DAYS IN JAIL. The Court.—Eleven months and twenty-nine days in jail. ‘The de‘endant noted an appeal, and the bonds were fixed et $1,000. Jansen was committed in default of bail —_.__. The New Police Law. VIEWS OF THE ACTING SUPERINTENDENT—THERE SHOULD BE AN INCREASE OF ONE HUNDRRD MEN INSTEAD OF FIFTY. Capt. C. R. Vernon (superintendent of the Me- tropolitan police, n the absence of Major Brock, by reason of sickness,) states that in his opinion the police torce should be increased one hundred men instead of fifty. Our population and extent of territory to be patrolled require fully that num- ber to do efficient work. In relation to the de- tailing of privates to do detective duty, he says that wherever this plan has been tried In other cities the efficiency of detalled privates nas been found fully equal to the regularly organized de- tective corps. WHAT LIEUT. FCKLOFF SAYS. Lieut. Eckloff, in reply toa question of a STaR reporter, as to his views of the new police law, said: “I have not seen the full bill, and am therefore not qualified to express an option as to its working. It 1s a good thing—the Increase of the force—but Congress once before increased the police forceone hundred men, but made no ap, ro- pristion for the expense, and so it fell to the ground.” Q. “Have you any idea of who will be put on the detective force?” ‘A. “None whatever; Iam not consulted at all, and have no information as to what the Commis- slouers propose to do, They doubtless have a plan already made, but I know nothing as to its na- ture.” ee ee Orricers ELEcTED.—At the sem!-annual meeting of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias last evening officers were elected as follows: J.

There was, in the formal transfer of the remains to the government, no particular hurry; and it was deemed best that nothing be done until some months had elapsed after the execution. Six months Daving passed aud Dr. Hicks being satis- Ned not only that he had the right to dispose of the remains, but that under all the circumstances the government was the proper custodian, last week made out the necessary papers transferring his Interest to Surgeon General Crane of the army, and that ts all that there is in the transfer busi- ness. It may be questtonable if the so-called will of Guiteau, which has not been probated, conveyed any Uitle,and if Dr. Hicks relied only on this paper th eee could hardly claim a good Utle outside of possession, which is “nine points of law.” Even it (as is claimed by Mr. Chas. H. Reed, of Gulteau’s counsel, who with Mr. Wood- ward witnessed the execution of the so-called will) Gui ‘was not “of sound and disposing: mind capable of making a valid deed or contract” and he is left out of the caso entirely, yet Dr. Hicks had a much better title than that to the remains, viz: the written and verbal authority of Guiteau’s heirs, his brother and sister,to take charge of the remains and dispose of them as he should deem proper. It is therefore quite immaterial so far as the body is concerned whether the so-called will 18 probated or not. REY. ———————— ‘The Proposed New Gas Company.

Wit ness went into lis place and got two drinks of whisky. Mr. Cahill asked the witness if he—a sworn officer—did not go there to entrap the de- fendant into a violation of the law.
