There were startling developments
in the Dudley insurance casu to

and his brother, who is said to have
been the insurance agent who ?-su
ed the policies. lt is rumored timi
they have left the I tate, arri Maj.
Buist, who represented Hie insu?
rance claim of Mrs. Dudley, has
thrown up tho cuse.
The body of Dudley, tile alleged
deceased husband, was resurrected
by tho coroner and two physicians,
who held a post mortem examina
tion, lesli lied that it was the body
of a man who died from consump
tion. The Insurance policies, it
will be remembered, were accident
policies, and tho certificate of Dud
ley's death was that it resulted
from accident, il is now said thal
thore was no such man as Dudley,
that Hie women's real name was
Nelson, and th^ body which was
di-interred to-day, wasth.it ol a
corpse taken from Hie potter'a-tlcld ;
in other words, that thc whele thing
was a scheme to swindle Ibo Insu

much that way.
