I am very much afraid that some of the “medics” now here are unruly, because why? Last Saturday morning one of the “bodies” was found sitting naked in the crotch of a tree in the “Mall” in the principal street of the town. It was the body of a young man about 16 years old. It was taken from the dissecting room in the 3 story of the “Medical College” and 3 locks of peculiar construction must have been picked or else a scaling ladder used and the body brought down on the outside.
It was in my opinion a “dirty trick” and no one but a “medic” would do it. The medical profs. are very mad about it and not to blame either.
