Arthur Newman expressed a wish to see the supposed corpse. After seeing the man, he said the body was not cold enough to his satisfaction, and even if they fixed a date for it's interment he should not comply. The supposed corpse was allowed to remain in the coffin and was taken into the church, where it was visited frequently by the reverend gentleman. About eight o'clock on Monday morning the 8th instant the body began to move slightly in the coffin. At last they deemed it prudent to take the man and the coffin away from the church to his house where he was taken out of the coffin and placed in a bed [where] he slowly recovered after eight days.
