A Convict named CHM, in the pen

the other day in this strange fashion:
A fellow-convict in the same cell died;
his body, after being neatly shrouded,
was placed in the coffin, and the under
taker went out to get dinner, leaving
CHM in the cell with the dead man,
AS soon as the door had been locked
CHM got out of bed, took the dead man
out of the coffin and placed him in the
bed, carefully covering him, and then
got into the coffin himself. In an hour
afterwards the burial party came in,
and, placing the coffin in a wagon,
drove off TO Potter's Field Before
they reached the place, CHM began
rolling about in the coffin ami making
noises, which SO frightened the burial
party that they ran away, where upon
