The New York Leader, which quite startled the credulous people last week with a report that the pirate, Albert W. Hicks, who wag executed at Bedloe's Island, on the 17th of July last, had been revived and was now living at Poughkeepsie, tins rtcurred to the subject. It insists that Its original state ment was true, and it argues at length both the possibility of the resurrection and the credibility of the evidence by which the fact is supported. It says, after alleging that Mrs, Hicks has never been able to find the body of her husband : It will be recollected that Mrs. Hicks and the priest she had engaged to bury the pi pirate, - rate, pirate, were left waiting at the barge office on the Battery, for several hours, while the parties who had the body in charge took it ashore at another pier, and according to their own statement afterward made pub public - lic public not finding Mrs. Hicks conveyed the coffin to Calvary Cemetery, where it was buried. Such facts speakojor themselves. It is further admitted that respectable and reliable witnesses have seen Hicks alive and walking the Btreets of New York, since the day ofTiis supposed execution: and a Deputy United States Marshal states that a gentle gentleman - man gentleman who bad just called to Bee him, while be was absent, said that Hicks had been brought down from Poughkeepsie, in order to be made the subject of a medical opera operation - tion operation in this city. The gentleman said that the pirate could open his mouth, but had no power of utter utterance. - ance. utterance. He believed, from Hicks's appearance, that it would be impossible for him to live much longer. If this is not good evidence, under all the peculiar circumstances, we would like to know what would be consid considered - ered considered as such. It is to be remarked that of the four doctors named by us as having been engaged in the resuscitation, only one has denied the fact, and in his case we confess we were wrong. Taking down our evidence hastily and ex citedly from the lips of two informants, we may have mistnisen tne name ot ur. uar uar-michael, - michael, uar-michael, and written Carnocban in its place. Dut Drs. Crane, O'Reilly and Bull have all acknowledged, by their silence, what is an nuoubted medical triumph. And even in Caruochan's case supposinghe ever did deny it, wmcn v e uuuoi.-ii. i ui ue rumeuiuuruu that he was not under oatn, and can not De expected to feel under very strong obligations to reveal any or me secrets oi tne mcuny. But if Albert If. ic t no livmq, Ut them produce hit dead body, as surely as they ought to ne aoie to ao i There is in this, says the New York Even ing Post, either an awkward attempt to hoax the public or to bring into repute the la-nous medico-chemical baths, which are said to have the wonderful efficacy of reviving the dead. Yet, utterly preposterous as the whole story will appear to the sane mind, there are many persens wuo wiu give to it mil and implicit faith.
