A Star reporter to-day exhibited to Senator In-gails a printed copy of the tollowlug letter, saidto have been written by him to a friend In Kan¬sas City, and asked If it was genuine:

"Washington, 3-25, '85."Dear Mr. : I was glad to receive yours of

the ltRh. We are still waiting for tne President,who moves with great de.loeration, listens toeverybody and docs as he pleases. His principalnominations so lar have surprised democrats asmuch as Uiey have republicans, but they aregenerally strong men, whose selection will beappreciated by the conservative forces ot theCountry. He has no imagination or sentiment,ana his policy will not be sensational or startling,but If he keeps on as he has begun his adminis¬tration will grow In popular favor. He Is seit-po.^sessed and confident, and exhibits noperturbation or timidity. Good humorprevails, though there is much Inaudible gruiu-ollug auiong democrats at the delay In turningthe rascals uUU' But if Cleveland can stand theracket, tor the next twelve months he wiu bringhis party to Its kuees and become a strong leader.He uas a great opportunity and evidently intendsto Improve It.

plied: "it was written in 1885, wltnin threeweeks alter the inauguration ot President Cleve¬land. Wulle 1 do not recall the iptter orthe name of the person to whomIt was addressed it was aoparently written to apersonal friend, and seems to have Been Improp¬erly procured and published.

He has faded to improve his opportunity.1"

"Speaking of grave robbers," said a police omcertoa stab reporter, "If poor old Jansen was nowliving and was ln this city he would get the creditof doing ail this work, but Jansen was tired or liv¬ing and ended his Utr. Probably the ghouls withwhom he had worked paid a midnight visit to hisrraTe, lifted his body from its couin with thoseHood-curdling nooks, and stole off with it throughthe lonesome roads or woods to turn it over to thedoctors for their use. I remember verv distinctly."the officer went on, "when Jansen was arrestedfor robbing the grave of Charles Shaw, the colored

bo was hanged in January. 1883, Tor tnemurder of his sister. I wasdoing dutydown town,when tsaw a wagon drive up in rront of a saloon.A man alighted and went Into the saloon, lie was* man, and wore a long rubber overcoat,rubber boots and heavy giovest which attractedmy attention. I took a good look at the man, whoturned out to be Jansen. I glanced Into the w;»gonand saw what 1 supposed was a coloredman sitting ln the wagon. I paid noparticular attention to the vehicle. Jansen,niter remaining ln the saloon long enough to get adrink, came out and drove away. I afterwardlearned ihat the colored man I thought I s.w sa¬ting ln the wagon w.is the body of Shaw on itswa> to the dissecting room. The wagon wasdriven from the saloon to the dissecting room,where the body was deposited. Jansen then cameback to the Avenue and took several friends overto see Snaws' body. On his way back to the col¬lege he lost the key to the front door, but he kickedthe door open. The crowd became so noisy thatJansen and one of hlscompanlonswere arrested fordisorderly conduct That nlgui, or the next dayJansen had some trouble with the doctors abou,the money, and he stole tne stiff rrom ihe college.He went around to a hack stand and there found a'night liner.' The driver, a wen known ilner,' waspretty'lull,'and he was willing to accept a Job-Jansen gut into the hack with the body, and thedriver, supposing the dead colored man was like his_ther passenger, only drui.k, started off with them.They took an occasional drink, and Jansen trie*, todlsposeof the still but railed. Finally he told theJehu to drive to How ard University,but there noonswan,ed the body. Then the hacK, without Jan¬sen, was driven into the 7th street road. '1 he deadnegro's f< ei were sticking out ihe carriage windowand attracted the attention of a couple of police¬men, who arrested the driver. He was taken tothe old eighth precinct station, but. was so diunkthat he was unable to accouut lor the possess onof his passenger. Later in the day when hesobered up the driver explained his position andLieut. Bedway, then a seigeunt, arrested JansenShaw's brain had been taken out, and the bloodfrom his Shull, which had covered Jansen's lacewhile handling the body, still remained on hisfate. Junsen was drunk. For that job he serveda year, minus one day.""How about the driver?" asked the reporter.'"Oh. he was released," answered the officer,but the trip was an expensive one for him, lor his

hack, which had always played an important p.irtIn tunerais, was boycotted. Whenever he attendeda funeral he was recognized and driven Off, and hewas Anally torced to give up the hack business."

PERCY AND MAUD SHOWN."Percy Brown, who was recently arrested, and

his sister Maud," continued the officer, "are eachnearly seventy years old, and Percy Is as irood atthe business n w as he ever was. H is sister M audhas given up the business on account of her eye-

"Do you mean to say that the old woman

reporterassJsled ln robbing graves?" asked the

.1certainly she did,'" answered the officer

and she piayed a very important part in such arobbery. She would watch the papers to, funeralnotices, then she would dress in black and attendthe lunerai, either as a mourner or as an lntlm itefriend of the deceased. She would be a strantrerto every person at the funeral, but of course thedead could not speak and those with whom sheconverged about the corpse would believe that shereally knew the departed. Oi course she wouldget an Invitation to go to thecemetery ln one or tnecarriages. She wou.d ln that way locate thegrave and after sundown or perhaps after mid¬night she, with her male companions, would makea start for tue cemetery.

HOW THE URAVES ARC ROBBED."Entering the cemetery," the omcer went on,

"Maud would point out the grave, and while themen robbed she would watch and give the alarmIf any one approached, and the -resurrectionistswould 'lie low' until the coast was again clearThen the body would be removed from the coffinand carried off.""How do they manage to get the bodies ln such

a short time and cover up their tracks so well""inquired the reporter."Easily enough," replied the officer. "Tou see

many persons have a wrong idea as to how thebusiness is conducted. Most persons think thatthe earth is removed only from the head of theooffln, and that the lid or the box Is smashed ODenThat Is not so, because the noise made by smash¬ing open the lid of the box would be too urealThegraves are supposed to be about 6 feet deep, sothat when the box and coiiln are lowered and thelid placed upon them tiierc only remains about 4feet of earth above. The dirt Is soft and can boeasily removed. Two men are put at work, one ateach end, until a portion of the earth is re¬moved, and then one of the Dartv will

If necessary, he will take the screws rrom thecasket and remove the head-piece. Sometimes.when they make a bad Job or it, or hurry for feaiof iwlng captured, the coffin Is badly damaged.After once getting the hooks into position andgiving the body a start, the live occupant of the

Kave ascends, and tuen the body to . lifted.' Thedy Is stripped of Its wearing apparel, which is

thrown back into the grave, and then the dirt re¬placed back, and the mound is left ln the conultlonIt was found. The body is then doubled, the headand feet coming together, and put into a lanre oasrmade for that purpose. Soon afterward It finds iuway to the hadway or some dissecting room.

WHY THEY ARB NOT SEEN."Did you ever notice that the cemeteries

In this city are easy of access? " asked the officer."But few of them are well protected, and If thevwere, it would not matter much. Llk- burglarsthe grave robbers would no doubt be able to enterany place they desired and carry off what theywent after. Persons often remark that somecemetery is on such a public road that body -"pti'liera would not dare attempt to work there Butsuppose it Is on a p ubllC road, do the majorityof persons passing a cemetery ln the dead hour ofnight look in through the cracks of the fence toadmire the tomb-stones? No, they usually lookthe other way and drive by as fast as posslbie.andbut few of them would notice the grave robber'swagon if it was standing on the road beside thefence.'1

colored mac arrested the other day with PercyBrown,''was the Ilrst and only time I was ever inthis business.

and talk of advancing still further, claiming 5Syou wholesale dealers are asking higher prices ofthem." .
