Indianapolis, Tnd , Sept. 29 ?Wholesale robbery of graves iii the cemeteries about Indianapolis, which has been going on for some time, was brought tq, a close early this morning by the arrest of a gang of seven negroes. Warrants were also issued today for a prominent physician, tne demonstrator of anatomy in the Central College of Pliysi cians and Surgeons, in which two stolen bodies wore found about lft days ago; for an interne in the college and for the janitor of the college' The negroes under arrest are : Wal ter Daniels, Sol Grady, Sam Martin, Garfield Bucker, Win Jones, Rufus Oatitrell and Ish am Donnell. All live in Indianapolis." Rufus Cautrell made a com pleto confession and implicated the others. He said the demon strator accompanied the negroes on several of the grave robbing expeditions. ONI! ITUNDKEI) OttAYKS KOii OKI) Nearly ^one hundred graves, it is saiil has been robbed by ghouls during the last three months. The detectives say the negroes were aimed with shot guns and equipped with horses and wagons. The bo'ies were sold to dill'erent colleges which opened their winter terms last week. f! he detectives say that a complete investigation will probably show that even the I graves in Crown Jlill were dose crated by the ghouls. Cantrell said that he and the other negroes visited Mount Jackson cemetery almost every time ant one was buried in the place "We pretty near cleaned thai place out," he said. "1 don't believe that we have missed anybody that has been buried there since Jnlj' '' When the negroes were brough into court all weakened and confessed that they were mem hers of an organized gang oi ghouls. a!mint lac' son, 1 i > 1111 r lju*-t across the rivers west oi I '.lie city, has t en h'l pre a <.; i v ? i ip* v bv the gr;i\ e i, p i' ' * ,. . i t * | at I lie medical coin- _< Mm r. hen i t v. utt?,r< 1 1 > \ i?? r< 1 <. iit<': <411 ;tt i< hi (?"<* ghoul* ?ni<f it usum! 1 \ ' >? ;, ;t)'>ij( -j minutes to r? ? , ,l r' w i:i !ndi.tnn i- vorv j I 'ltiishmoitt of ghouls hv long . it. iM'ieonjtiuui S'ccro Ironi Kaoxfiile Hires No gears ii* Anderson to Work on h ltailroail. Aiulorson, S. (5 September, '2b.? For several (lavs An derson Stover, a negro who Knoxville, Ten 11, as hin home, has been about (ho city frying to employ laborers to go to Knoxville to work on n railroad said to l>o under construction near there. He claimed to 1 under the oniploj ment of the No. 29 Callahan,Construction Company, of Knoxville, and had in his posession a lot of circulars bearing the name of that firm. The circulars olFored $1 25 per day ' o laborers, along with other flattering inducements. Stover hired an Anderson negro*, Vess Brown, to help him distribute the circulars, and they were scattered broadcast among the colored population. It is said the negro Stover has been very successful in hiring laborers and bad arranged for a party of fifty or more to leave for lv nrtvnillo ? ?-> I lu uay. .transportation for them was telegraphed to him a day or so ago. But it is probable thai the purtv will not get off to day, for Stover and his assistant, Brown, were arrested late yesterday afternoon by Chiei l'olice Dillinghatn and Policeman Davis and spent the night in the station house. They were charged with violating the bill posting ordinance, distributing circulars withlout taking license. r- ....... v ^ ' When the negroes were arrested on this charge the real object 'in making the ariest was io | break up the proposed emigration I of the negro laborers trom the Icity today. It is probable that a State warrant will be sworn out against Stover, charging him with violating the Stale law against employing 'laborers to be carried out ol the State.
