. ’ IS HE ALIVE? Startling Theories Regarding the Existence of Charles G. Kelsey. Legal and Medical Opinions on the Case. SESE What Oharles Donohue, District. Attorney Allen, Judge Barrett, Drs. Sayre, Draper, Peters and Hamilton Think of the Romains and Their Identification. The conundrum “Who killed Kelsey?” is now ob- Bolete; but the death of the vexatious question has given birth to one still more tantalizing—“Is Kelsey dead?” The people of Long Island hoot the idea that he still exists; but in the metropolis, where every one is On the alert to “drop on put-up Jobs,” the opinion that the poet of tar and feather fame still lives has gained favor, To the circle of important facts that surrounds the case there are | appended numerous tangents in the shape of incidents and events Which are truly imterestung. Tueir bearings aré pro {ud con, and there is not the slightest doubt that they will be used as weapons ofassauit and defence by the bellizerent lawyers when the case goes into court. To begin at the beginning :—On the morning of the 29th of August acertain New York daily came out with an article in reference to the Kelsey case and its connection with Long island politics, The issues that were to be worked out on tar were dilated upon | to some extent, and the article wound up witha surmise that 4omething very important would be developed inthe case shortly, About ten hours alter this paper was printed in New York a body or apart of & body was found in Oyster Bay harbor, Long Island, by Jonn Franklin and William Lua- lam, two innocent oystermen, who at the time were at work dredging for oysters. Their testi- mony, in connection with the name and character they bear, leaves no doubt of the fact that their Minding the remains was purely accidental; buy then comes A QUESTION, AS YET UNSOLVED, oF even alluded to in the evidence, “How came they tire?’ Ihere is proof that Kelsey was tarred and feathered, but that he was put into the bay is a mere suspicion, unstrengthened by testi- mony. To return again te the memora- ble Friday, August 29 Every Friday morn- ing the people of [Huntington have their dainty morsel of gossip and local news served up by the #utletin, a small paj er devoted to the interests of the little town, On the Friday morning in question no paper was issued, and the fact of its non-appearance create much comment, a8 all littie things do, in the quieé vi re. It made ita appeerance the next day, and had the story of the discovery of the body of Charies G, Keisey in Oyster Bay. This looks rather serious; but when the following explanation is made it loses some of its stern aspect The type-setters, pressmen and editor went to Norwich to attend the Fat Men’s Clambake day before; and, consequently, the paper was one day behind, Interested parties tried to make a gratd point out of this fittle incident; but the explanation seems to disarm suspicion, The defendants, in the action for riot, and their immediate friends lay great siress on these two newspaper articles, and Say that they establish beyond a doubt that the Corpse found in the bay was deposited there by designing persons who hoped to make political Capital out of the revival of the question that con- vulsed the town last January when the investiga- tion into the tarring and feathering was being prosecuted, That political capital is being made out of it cannot be gainsaid, for the no-tar party comprises nine-tenths of the whole population, consequently only no-tar caudidates will be elected. As proo! that this is the case and that the no-tar ring-leaders are trying to poison the public mind QOgainst their opponents, the dastardly notice about tie “funeral of Legs” is cited. The members THE TAN PARTY Bay that {hey kKuow how they are regarded by the public, aud that as popular sentiment is aroused against them they are anxious to have their side of the case caret considered, nud do not care to create additional trouble ior themselves by ap- pearing in public as scovers at the honest sorrow of misguided relatives.

Some of the tar peopie go further, and say with | nowlng nods, “We know who wrote that notice, 8 , and so will you When the triai comes off at Kaver- head.” It is rather stiange that only a few of the Huntington people knew of this “notice” antil it Was puvlished in the HERA IS THIS KE Mr. Hurd, who has acknowledged that he saw the tarring and fearicring, swears to iacts about how the tar was put on that have had a deal of weight With the public.

One of the [riends of the family bas said—itis hot inevidence—that Wiliam Kelsey told him, atew days belore the finding of the body, that something important would soon be heard from Charlie, These ititle points migit or micht not have eflect with acourt jury, and are given here for what they are worth, Something more positive wiil be found in the following, the opinions of lawyers and doctors regarding the remains. and the proba bility of their identity being complete, WHAT THE LAWYERS THINK, In view of the facts just given, & HrRaLp Teporter set about getting the opinions of sume of New York's ablest criminal lawyers on the case, Br. Charles Donohue was first met, and the writer accepted an invitation from that gentleman to go to his oftice, where the matter was talked over. At first Mr, Donohue seemed anxious to say nothing of the case except In its legal phase; bat finally be thawed from his legal crispness and taiked of the case as 1t appeared to him, and what its consequence might be, In reference to the genuineness of tle identity the reporter askedi— CHARLES DONOUE'S OPINION, “po you think that the Identity of the parts found ‘is complete or sufticient 77 Mr, DoNouvE.—That is a question for the Coro- ners jury to docile; Im tact, thatis what they are there jor, It remains with them to say whether these are the reinains of Kelsey or not.

Mr. Donohue bas formed no fixed opinion regard- ing the case, he being a cautious lawyer and think- ing that the evidence in the case thus far is in- suflicient to base a sound opinion on, JUDGE BARRETT was called upon for an opinion of the case, but he only heard a few words about it and did not ex- actly know what to think, the case to his mind being a very complicated one, which would require a deai of time to explain or comprehend, Mr, Beach and Mr, Hackett were called on in turn, but as neither of the gentiemen had taken any interest in the case they were not prepared to give their opinions—in fact, they had none regard- ing the case in point. DISTRIOT ATTORNEY ALLEN'S OPINION. District Attorney Allen was met by the HERALD Man atthe entrance to the Vourt of General Ses- Bion, After the usual saluiations and te indis- Pensable remarks about that everlasting topic, the weather, the reporter asked Mr, Allen for his opinion regarding the Kelsey case. Mr. Allen said he had given the case some Uitle attention, and Woes, Intact, interested init. In answer lo the query, “Do you think the remains found tn Oyster Bay are those of Kelsey #”? “Certainly ldo. There is no doubt in my mind but that those legs belong to Kelsey and that he | was murdered,’ “On what ground do you base that belief, Mr, Allen?” asked the reporter, “On the facts In the case, or rather on the facts | asfarasIknowthem. f know nothing of tt ex- cept what I read of in the papers, and on this in- | formation I base my beiief that the man was mur. dered, In the first place the mun was, accerding to sworn evidence, tarred and feathered, an after that night on which the outrage was com- mitted he was never seen or heard of by his friends, and secondly, we have the remains found in the bay on which the chain, tdentified, was found. “But that chain could have becn put there to- gether with the body.’’ “Yos, thet could have beon done, but it is highly improbable; the whole chain of evidence from the finding of the shirt aud boots is very well con- nected and never could bave been done 50 sys- tematically as they have developed. The elements work certain results, and the accomplishment of the work takes time, Now-the discoloring of that chain and the collection of igreen siime upon it could not be done to order; it was a result of the plements and time,’? “You know, Mr. Allen, that the pants and draw- | ers on the remains have bot been identified, Both William and Heury Kelsey were careiul to say that the pants were such as their brother usually wore, but they could not swear to them. The reason they thought the pants belonged to Kelsey was because tey fitted the iegs tight. Now, if the legs had been in’ the water a great length of time and | the pants originally loose, the Ldpery of the flesh would have given that appearance of tightness.” “Now you are trying to make twelve men out of me, Thit is a question which is not for me to de- termine, It remaius with the Coroner's jury to say whether wy are Satisfled that those are the re- mains of Kelsey from the proot furnished. If they are satisfied no one can question tie deciston,”’ long and unimportant conversation here ene sued regarding Mr. Allen’s in‘liyidug! opinion aa f9 | Whether Kelsey was aeau or nov. air, alien 13 frm in the belief that Kelsey was tarred and feathered and then cruelly murdered and made away with, notwithstanding the testimony of Mrs. Gould and | Mrs. Burt to the contrary. In the conversation | the reporter mentioned the coincidence about the papers, and Mr. Allen said :— “The fact that mention was made of the finding of the body, or rather, the supposition that the body would be found, proves to me that there was no ‘job’ in putting the body there, for if the peo- pie knew of this their privacy was the only thing that could insure the success of the enterprise, Uf | runsplanting corpses comes under that head.

The lake was dredged, but the box was never found, and Ruioif was convicted of murder; but, no remains haying been produced, the Supreme Court revoked the sentence as illegal. However, Rulof met his just deserts in Binghamton a short while since.”? Tleie the District Attorney stopped, and, taking up “Greenleat on Evidence,” handed it to ‘the re- porter, saying, “Read that case that I have marked,’ ‘The reporter took the book and read the follow- ing note on confession: JONCERNING CONFESSION: ov GUILT se of the two Vermont, in ed in the Supreme Court o y, 1a Seplember term, 1319, of the mur- Tuolvin, May 19, 1812.

WHAT THE DOCTORS THINK. Below will be found the opinions of some of the ablest metropolitan doctors. As usual they disa- gree; but, as their disagreements are interesting and amusing, they are reproduced in the foliow- ing:— AYRE'S OPINION. and at his residence, No. 285 | ‘Ldon’t know anything about this Dr, Sayre was f Fifth avenu case,” he said, in answer to thé reporter's inquiry, “as ha n away for several weeks in Vi ginia. ¢ returned tis evening.’ J DO you think it possible,” the reporter asked, “that iegs would, under any eireumatance, f after having been ven montis in the water ’ lcoutd very well conceive,” Dr, Sayre replied, “that te decomposition of certain tissues would necessarily form gasses which, being retained by | some outer texture preventing their escape, would necessarily lighten that body or tissue—or what+ ever it imay Ve—to such an extent ag to enable it to float.” “Even after having been in the water eleven | months!’’ the reporter asked, “It would make no difference if it had been in the water cleven years,"’ Dr. wre said; “the de- composition uf matter 1a its conversion into gases must necessarily OCCUPY GREATER SPACE, and making it lihter would cause 1t to Moat,” “ow would be the effect of the tar?” “That tar overcoat might be just the means of SS the gases so intact as to make tne body float. Tar would preserve it toa certain ex- tent on account of the very smail amount of car- bolic acid it contains, However, unless the re- mains were hermetically sealed by a coat of tar, the gases would have anu opportunity to escape through the incisions that had been made in sever. ing the diferent parts of the body. As this was not the case I should doubt it very much whether these were the remains of Keisey. I don’t know all the facts, and can, theretore, form no decided opinion.” “even if the tissues were destroyed, would tar enable legs to contain gas enough to float?” “If the tissues were destroyed and the tar envel- oped them then the tar would be Just the means of making the (egs float. Gases will always be formed under decomposition, A grain of gunpowder under a thimble would have abundance of room to spare. Ignite that grain of gunpowder and convert tt, by decomposition, into gases, and the thimble cannot retain il, The elements remain the same, but they are converted from the solid into the gaseous state, I wish I could say more on the subject, but Ihave not read enough of the case to cater into any of its details.”” DR, JOHN C. PETERS’ OPINION, Dr. John (. Peters, of 83 Madison avenne, Presi- dent of the Medical Library and Journal Associa- tion, and Vice President of the Medico-Legal Society, sald:—It is a very great puzzle to me that the legs should rise without the abdomen, Drowned bodies generally rise from the generation fore death. I was led to infer that it was, Ithink it is exceedingiy improbable that legs should float afver Saving been in the water eleven months. “Slow is it that the upper part of the legs were 60 perfect and the lower 80 jagged?” cause fish could not nibble at the flesh through the trousers, and the lower part was | robabiy unprotected. In regard to the eifect of he iar, it Would undoubtediy be an external pre- servalive. I should say that preservation would depend on the depth of the water, The bottom might be warm during our hot summer days ata depth of ten or fifteen ieet, but at a depth of iifty or sixty feet it would be cool.’ “Hiow were the gases retained in the legs?’ the reporter asked. “1 don't see how the gases could be possibly re- tained. Even if the skin were sound the gases Must escape at the upper part, where the boay Was aovered, Idon't see how gases enough could be formed to oat the heavy bones of the thighs and lesrs.”? “Do you think the remains were those of Kel- sey? “1 think itis very, Yory doubtful, If I have any opinion it is adverse to their belug Kelsey's re- mains or the remains of anybody wio had been in the water eleven months,’” DR. ALONZO CLARK'S OPINION, Dr. Alonzo Clark, 6! No. Bast Twenty-first Street, said he had not read ten lines of the case, nevertheless, Willag to answer any gell- eral questions, “Tthink the natural course of things when & body has been sunk,” he said, “is that the gaseous matter will be imprisoned in the tissues suiliciently ake it Heat in tune. “Would the tar be a protection “It vhe legs were covered with tar it would be a protection against decomposition, 1 beleve the rematas were tound in salt water, but if it were fresh water the soft tlesues would ‘be decomposed in eleven months—the suit tissues, not the bones.

As lowg as flesh remained on the limbs decomposition would tuke place, and the gus would evolve in those tissues und ioat the remains alter they were disengaged from the weighi.’” “Do you believe that Ke!sey or his friends tarred and threw these legs into the water in order to punish his cnemics, a3 was suggested in & com- munication in yesterday's istaLp?? “Oh, ib seems to me very linprovable, very im- robabic indeed, £ am quite clear that these were elsey’s remains.

WILLIAM H. DRAPER’S OPINION. Dr. Draper, of No. 4 East was just avout leaving his house on a | rotessional visit when he met the reporter, and he stopped to converse With him for a few moments, “T have paid but littie attention to the case,” he said, “and can oply give you my impressions. I don’t think the gases would be retained in the legs for eleven months, They would escape trom tie cut extremities through the connecting tissues, This is a point, however, about which there might be diiferences of opinion, I should say that the gas would escape through the openings In the sec tion.

ADVANCE OF ME: HODISM, Dr. Growth of Methodism in New York— Figures that Show ProgresseAu In- | teresting Discussion To Be Continued | Until the Subject is Exhausted. Some weeks ago, before the summer vacation, the Methodist ministers begen a discussion of the §owperative growth of Methodism in New York and prpoklyn within a period of ten or filteen years, Thé question changed during the discus- ‘nirty-seventh street, | reet, gave it as his opinion that the legs were | Brown on the Relative Decline or | | records, th sions that sifosequcitly took place, and its scope | was greatly enlarged. It became not a question of growth, but of decline, and on the assumption of decline several tavigs of statistics Lave since been published in the religiow3 papers of the city to confirm the hypothesis. The scope of the dis- cussion took in only the statistics for ten or fifteen years; but from the very organization of Methodism in America, through the s cades and sem!-decades, irom 1763 to 1870, anu pa tially Cown to 1573, the growth (or declension) of Methodism was shown by @ comparison with tie | growth of other denominations, and its dectine by Its | this standard seemed to be unmistakable, ratio of increase was then compared with the ratio of increase in population, and it was shown to be Jamentably benind, not beiieve in the declension of Methodism at all. Others were ready to concede its decline in New York and Brooklyn, but they would account for it | by the transfer of city people to the towns and vil- lages within a radius o/ thirty miles of New York. These views led to an exatuination of the statistics within this circle, and the results were very credit- able to Methodism, But the OTHER DENOMINATIONS OBJECT to these statistics, and in several instances they have been corrected, It fell to the lot of Dr. 8 D, Brown, Presiding Elder of the New York District of the New York Conference, to make further cor- rections of the statistical tables yesterday, His figures did not, however, materially controvert those already published, and the increase which be claimed for Methodism in New York city, to which his statistics matniy applicd, has been made since 1870—the date at which most of the statisti- cal tables printed closed, Still his figures were of great value to the discussion, The doctor showed that since 1855 nine new Methodist Episcopal churches have becn built on the west side of the city and. five om the east side, showing an increase of twelve in the city, And the churches are very much larger and show a seating capacity of double what the old ones had, There were not 62 seii supporting Presbyterian churches in the city in 1555, a8 stated in one of the published tables, There were of Methodist churches in the city, in 1957, 20; In 1865, 34; in 1870, 41; and in 1873, 43, not. including the Attorney street church, purchased during the present year, This shows an increase of 16 churcives instead of a decline. Twenty-six of these are In the New York Conference, 16 in the New York Fast Conference and 3 are German, Perry strect.

As, for instance, the Central church has created a debt of $23,000 by vulding a new Sunday school room. But by the increase in the value of property since 1865 the Methodist churches in this city don’t owe nearly a8 much now as they did then. So much for the church edi- fices on which a declension argument was placed. Next as to membership, In 1845 there were in this city 9,571 members, whereas in 1872 there were 10,222, showing an increase of 757, ‘This increase is not, Of course, very great, and the reasons as- sigued by Dr. Brown for the smallness of the nam- bers Were, first, the Millerite excitement whien embraced the years 1843.
