A Proper Correction.
St. Louis, Mo., May 13th, 1869.
Editors Missouri Democrat:
In your notice in this morning's Democrat of the accident that occurred to the child that fell from the porch yesterday, great injustice has been done to me, which, with your kind permission, I desire to explain. 'Tis said that the mother stated to the police “that I refused to give any attention to the little unfortunate, because she had not the wherewit at once to remunerate me,” &c. I regret to be compelled to pronounce such a statement entirely false in every particular. I never asked her whether she had money or not, but instantly commenced to cleanse the wounds, and then I prescribed for the child and told the mother to get the prescription filled, intending, during her absence, to hasten to my office and get my instruments to dress the wounds. She asked me if I would not furnish the articles at my own expense, as she had no money. I stated that I could not—that I considered that I was discharging my whole duty to furnish my services gratis, without having to purchase the medicines, dressings &
Some lady present suggested that it would be better for her to go to the Board of Health and get some other physician from there, as he would furnish medicines and services all gratis. In this opinion I also acquiesced; but during the time I was there I did all I could for the child—gave the best advice I could, was anxious to render the little sufferer all the aid I could gratis—but I did not feel it to be my duty, whilst she was surrounded by a host of sympathizing friends, to not only do all the drudgery, but to buy all the medicine and dressing materials; and when some of them furnished her money, I never asked her for a cent, nor never intended to do so.
Your obedient servant, JOHN L. CASSILY, M. D.

Fraley vs. Cassilly
Judge Barclay and a jury were occupied yesterday with the case of Mary Fraley against Dr. John L. Cassilly. The plaintiff sues to recover the value of a note for $800, which she claims is in the possession of Dr. Cassilly. Some time ago, Mr. Fraley died, and it is claimed that the deceased having confidence in Dr. Cassilly, his attending physician, intrusted him with his property. His widow, alleges that the Doctor sold a farm for her for $1,100 and took a note for $800 securing the balance of the purchase money. The defendant insists that he has paid Mrs. Fraley all that is due her. A verdict in the case will be given today.

Dr. Cassilly Sued.
Mr. W. H. Clopton, as an attorney for Frank Oppelgram, commenced a suit in the Circuit Court yesterday against Dr. John L. Cassilly and Lucy M. Cassilly, to subject certain real estate belonging to the latter to the payment of a debt of $1700 due the estate of the late John S. Nelson. The proceeding is the result of the recent investigation in the Probate Court, from which is appeared that Cassilly collected a $2000 policy in the A. O. U. W. and appropriated $1700 of the proceeds by turning over a portion of it to his wife and using the remainder to pay a mortgage on some real estate owned by him.

DOCTOR J. L. CASSILLY CHARGED WITH ARSON
Arrested on Warrant in Connection With Mysterious Explosion and Fire.
HIS STORE WAS DESTROYED.
Prosecuting Attorney Says Evidence Is Circumstantial—Information Signed by a Special Officer
Doctor John L. Cassilly, whose drug store at Broadway and Brooklyn street was destroyed by a mysterious explosion followed by fire Wednesday night, is charge in a warrant issued Saturday morning by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Johnson with arson in the first degree.
He was arrested Saturday night by Detectives Cunningham and Cullen and Deputy Sheriff Whelan.
Special Officer Joseph Gocking of the Fifth District swore to the information and the witnesses whose names are indorsed on the warrant and on whose statements Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Johnson decided to issue the warrant are: James S. Eckle and F. A. Summers, No. 1751 North Broadway, and Rudolph Kahn, a tailor, three doors south of the drug store.
Since the explosion the police of the Fifth District have been working on the case. Friday night Detectives Gocking and Sullivan came into possession of evidence which led them to apply for a warrant charging Doctor Cassilly with arson. After they had stated their case to Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Johnson Saturday morning he issued the warrant.
Mr. Johnson said: “I have been informed that Doctor Cassilly locked up his store and went next door. He re-entered the store shortly before the explosion. Our evidence is circumstantial. The laws on arson are very strict and the convictions are hard to make.”
Doctor Cassilly was taken to his home at No. 1408 North Grand avenue after the explosion. His face had been badly cut by flying glass and his body was considerably bruised, as he was hurled through a window.
Doctor Cassilly has been practicing medicine and conducting a drug store in St. Louis for more than thirty years. At one time he was quite well-to-do.

FOUR INJURED BY EXPLOSION.
St. Louis Drug Store Is Wrecked in a Mysterious Manner.
Four people were injured, a building almost wrecked, a drug store demolished and considerable excitement created by an explosion in the drug store of Dr. John L. Cassilly, at Broadway and Brooklyn street, St. Louis. Dr. Cassilly was hurled through the glass door of the store into the street, a distance of thirty feet. Mrs. Emma Bickel, Mrs. Nettie Habrugger and Mrs. Margaret Kist were standing in front of the store, waiting for a street car, when the explosion came, and were slightly hurt. Dr. Cassilly could not explain the explosion. He said he went into the rear room to poke up the fire in the stove. A spark feel into a box of matches and they ignited a pile of paper. He attempted to smother it and remembers nothing more, as he was knocked unconscious.

MYSTERY OF A VACANT HOUSE.
Charred Limb of Human Being Found on North Broadway.
A party of house hunters while inspecting the vacant premises at No. 1747 North Broadway yesterday morning were horrified to find the right leg of a human being in a room on the second floor. The leg had the appearance of being charred. It was taken to the morgue by Patrolman Murphy of the Fifth District.
Until a year ago Doctor John L. Cassilly, of No. 1408 North Grand avenue, conducted a drug store on the ground floor. The building was wrecked by a mysterious explosion on April 10, last. After an investigation the police arrested Doctor Cassilly, but he was released later.
Since then the building has been unoccupied. The room where the limb was found was formerly occupied by a photographer.

PHYSICIAN AND WIFE TO BE BURIED TODAY
Dr. John L. Cassilly Had Practiced in St. Louis 60 Years.
Dr. John L. Cassilly, who practiced medicine in St. Louis for practically sixty years, died Sunday morning at his home, 2311 Cass avenue, after a lingering illness due to complications attendant upon the infirmities of old age. He was 81 years old.
The burial will be today and at the same time the body of his wife, Mrs. Lucy M. Cassilly, who died two months ago will be buried. The interment will take place in Bellefontaine Cemetery following services at the Wagoner Undertaking establishment, 3621 Olive street, at 2 o'clock.
Mrs. Cassilly died in Atlanta, Ga., during a visit to a daughter, Mrs. W. E. Quillian, and the body was held in a receiving vault there. With the death of Dr. Cassilly it was sent to St. Louis so both could find their last resting place at the same time. The shock of his wife's death is believed to have hastened that of Dr. Cassilly.
Dr. Cassilly was born in St. Louis and when scarcely more than 17 ran away from home and joined the Union army. He served throughout the civil war and at the expiration of hostilities resumed his education, graduating shortly thereafter from medical school. All of his practice has been in St. Louis and for fifteen years he had been located at the Cass avenue address.
Besides Mrs. Quillian, Dr. and Mrs. Cassilly are survived by a son, Arthur R. Cassilly, of St. Louis.
