FosTERs BURIAL IN GREENWOOD. In re.
ference to the statement that by the buria! of a
murderer 10 Greenwood Cemetery the charter is
violated, the New York Express says that such
is not the case. Thirty years ago it was de-
signed to bury in Greenwood aud erect a monu
ment over John c. Colt, who was executed for
the murder Of ADAMS, but the company, con-
sdering that such an ostentatlous display over
the grave of murderer was not only highly
improper, but would give great offence to the
owners of lots in the cemetery, refused to sell
to the family, and in all subsequent deeds a
clause prohibiting the admission Of cri uinals to
burial in Greenwood was inserted. The father
Of VIM Foster who was executed on Friday
last, was one of the original owoers of a lot,
and therefore his deed DE, not contain this
clause, aud the company cannot Interfere, nor
does it desire to do so in any similar case if the
burial is quietly performed. 1t is not the pro-
vince Of the company TO investigate the pre-
vious character of every one who may be bu-
ried in t: e Cemetery.

was done at the Third Ward, the Judge inter
rupted saying that ''a!l Of the officers OF cleo

The immediate cause ofthis violation Of iu-
