MEDICAL COLLEGE GOT THEM
ASTORIA, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21.
Paid Hint $10 fur Each Corpse
and County Allowed Another
$10 for Burying: It Af.
ter Dissection.
Portland Journal: Through ob'
jectlon made by J. E. Courtney to
postmortem examination being made
at the county hospital on the bodies
of Miles Trailer and J, Davis, who
died at the poor farm Sunday, offl
clal attention has been called to the
(act that he has been trafficking in
bodies of dead persons .during his in
cumbency as superintendent of that
Instution. For every body supplied
the medical college of the University
of Oregon It is said that he has been
receiving $10. It Is further alleged
by one of the expressmen who had
the actual handling of a number of
bodies that Courtney has supplied the
medical college with the bodies of
persons dying In the city, for the dis
position of which he received $10
from the county commissioners in
every Instance.
An investigation has brought out
the fact that Courtney has also been
collecting part of the money received
by Janitor Boals of the college for
burying bodies at the farm after
they bad been v dissected, and he is
charged with demanding and receiv
ing money for the same purpose from
Janitors Rimkenberger and Golden,
who preceded Boals.
Section 3828 of the codes provides
that the bodies of dead persona dy
lng at , almhouses and similar in
stitutions shall ( be supplied medical
colleges, on demand, when relatives
or friends have not provided for their
burial and in other specified in
stances. No provision is made for
these bodies.
"It Is true that we have paid Court
ney $10 for such bodies,". . said Dr.
Joseph!, president of the college. "We
had to give him an incentive to look
out for such matters in order that we
might know when to hand In requisi
tions. Formerly our janitor attended
to burying the dissected bodies after
they had been returned to the Insti
tution. Mr. Courtney objected to
this, however, saying the graves should
be of a uniform width and depth,
and has attended to their burial him
self. What he received from the
Janitor I do not know."
Each Body Worth $220.
For every body sent to the poor
farm from the city morgue for burial
Courtney has received $10 from the
county commissioners. By disposing
of such a body to the medical col
lege he would receive $10 additional,
and also $2.50 from Janitor Boals f
for
burying the dissected body after leav
ing the college, making a total of
$22.50 in each instance.
Dr. Joseph! says he does not know
whether .or not any bodies received at
the college for dissection were of per
sons whodid not die at the poor farm.
The names are given to the janitor, he

headboard when the bodies are
taken back to the poor farm, but
record is kept.
One of the expressmen who had
been engaged in the business of haul

to an attache of the county court the
statement that two or three names
handed him were of certain persona.

Three Bodiss In One Grave.
"I have seen Courtney bury two
three bodies in one grave," said
or
this
expressman. He formerly had
man hired to drive a team at the poor
farm, on whom he also placed the
work ofdlgging graves. I told this
man one day that Courtney was paid
by the janitor of the medical college
for burying such bodies and he was
foolish to do extra work In order to
turn money Into Courtney's pocket.
Courtney arrived at this Juncture. The
driver then protested against the
work and was discharged on
spot."
the
Courtney's Report Padded.
Investigation by the board
of
county commissioners has shown
that
while Courtney has been superlnten
dent of. the poor farm his monthly
reports to County Auditor Brandes
have shown almost double the num
ber of inmates actually at the tnstl
tutlon.
This discovery was made through
an agent of the federal census bureau.
who went to the Institution recently
to secure statistics. So much slgnlfl
cance Is attached to the discovery
that the commissioners state their fu
ture action will be directed by the
results of a further investigation by
D. D. Jackson, who has been p
pointed to the superlntendency of the
poor farm , the order discharging
Courtney taking effect November 1
The reports of Courtney show 15l
Inmates of the poor farm for August
and 152 for September. The count
made by Courtney under the direction
of the census commissioner, which
was afterward confirmed by Jackson,
showed only 98 Inmates for September.
STUDENTS MUST NOT DANCE.
Chancellor Will Expel Thoe Who Do
Not Obey.
Syracuse, N. T., Oct. 20. Chancellor
Day, of Syracuse university, has de
clared in an address to the students
that dancing must cease. The chan
cellor so decided because of the
dances given by an prganization of
college women who 'have been hold
ing pa?tes at the Westminster hall
Dr. Day said:.
Those dances mitigate against
scholarship and against study. What
we are here for is to study. Any at
tempt to hold a dance after this will
be taken as a deliberate notice
of your Intention to be no longer one
of us."
The chancellor's ultimatum has
caused consternation- among the stu
dents.
