Roussel' laughed very heartily while some unimportant circumstances connected with his movements were stated.

leg, thigh, and arm of a man, nearly stripped of flesh. The pri- soner said it was altogether a mistake about the robbery ; and as to the bones, it was his business to polish up the remains of "subjects," to prepare them for skeletons. The statement being satisfactory, Nesbitt was discharged.
