THE THEFT OF SHAW’S BODY. “Speaking of grave robbers,” sald a police officer toa Stax reporter, “if poor old Jansen was now living and was in this city he would get the credit Of doing ail this work, but Jansen was tired of liv- ing and ended his lite. Probably the ghouls with ‘Whom he had worked paid a midnight visit to bis Ve, lifted his body from its coilia with those Giood‘curdiing hooks, and stove off with it turougn the lonesome roads or woods to turn it over to the doctors for their use. I remember very distinctly,” the officer went on, “when Jansen Was arrested for robbing the grave of Charles Shaw, the colored Doy who was hanged in January, 1883, for tue murder of his sister. I was doing duty down town, When 4 saw a wagon drive up in front of a saloon. A man alighted and went into the saloon. He was @ suort inan, and wore along rubber overcoat, Tubber boots ’and heavy gloves, which attracted mY attention. I took a good look at the man, Who ‘turned out to be Jansen. I glanced into the wagon and saw what I sup; ‘was a colored man sitting in the wagon. I paid no Particular attention to the vehicle. Jansen, aiter remaining in the saloon long enough Lo get a drink, came out and drove away. I afterward learned (hat the colored man I thought I saw sit- Ung in the wagon Was the body of Shaw on its Wa) wo the dissecting room. The wagon was Grivén from the saloon to the dissecting room, ‘where the body was deposited. Jansen then came back to the Avenue and took several friends over to see Suaws’ body. On his way back to the col- lege he lost the key to the front door, but he kicked tine door open. "The crowd became so noisy that Jansen and one of hiscompanions were arrested for conduct, That nigul, or the next day, Jansen had some trouble with the doctors abou. ‘the money, and he stole tne stiff from ine college. He went around to a hack stand and there found a “night liner,” The driver, a well known ilner,’ was retiy ‘tull,’ and he was willing to accept & job; angen got into the hack with tbe body, and the river, supposing the dead colored man Was like Lis ther passenger, only drunk, started off with them, ‘They took an occasional drink, and Jansen trie. to dispose of the stiff but fatied. Finally he told the Jehu to drive to Howard University ,but there noone Waned the body. Then the hack, without Jan- ‘sen, was driven into the 7th street roud, The dead hegro’s fvet were sticking out the carriage window and attracted the attention of a coupie of police. men, who arrested the driver, He was en tO ‘the Old eighth precinct station, but Was so diunk that he was unable to account tor the possession Of his passenger. Later in the day when he sobered up the driver explained his position, and Lieut, Redway, then a se:geant, arrested Jansen. Shaw's brain had been taken out, and the blood from hig skull, which had covered Jansen’s tace while handling the body, still remained on his Jansen Was drunk. ‘For that Job he served ir, minus one day.” Ww avout the driver?” asked the reporter, “Ob, he was reicased,” answered the officer, “mut the up was an expensive one for him, for his hack, which had always played an important part nerais, was boycotted. Whenever be attended a funeral he Was recognized and driven off, and he Was finally forced to give up the uack business,” PEKCY AND MAUD BROWN. “Percy Brown, who was recently arrested, and his sister Maud,” continued the officer, “are each nearly seventy years old, and Percy 13 as good at the business n W as he ever was. His sister Maud has given up the business on account of her eye- Sight, and has to be led about, she having become totally biind.” “Do you mean to say that the old woman ay. assisted in robbing graves?” asked the reporter. “Why certainly she did,” answered the officer, “and she piayed a very oe hogs part in sucha robbery. She would watch the papers for funeral Rotices, then she would dress tn black and attend he 1useral, either as a mourner or as an intimate frend of the deceased. Sie would be a stranger wevery a at the funeral, but of course the deud could not speak and those with whom she conversed about the corpse would believe that she really knew the departed.

HOW THE GRAVES ARE ROBBED. “Entering the cemetery,” the officer went on, ‘A4aud would point out the grave, and while the men robbed she would watch and give the alarm if any one apj ched, ahd the #esurreciionists ‘wot ‘ie low” until the coast was aguio clear. ‘Then the body would be removed from the coma and carried off.” “How do they manage to get the bodies in such ashort time and cover up their tracks so well?” inquired the reporter. “Easily enough,” replied the officer. many business 18 conducted.

"Thegraves are su| to be about 6 feet deep, so ‘that when the box and coflin are lowered and the lid placed upon them tuere only remains about 4 feet of earth above, The dirt issoft and can be easily removed. ‘Two men are at work, one at each end, until a portion of the earth is re- moved, and then one of the y will & rope, which 13 fastened to the of the box."
