The Body OF Abraham Lincoln Re-
moved.

IBy telegraph n the D!spatch.l
CHICAGO, November ia story is pub
lishcd here this morning, in an apparently
authentic form, to the effect that the body
OF Abraham Lincoln had been secretly re-
moved from the sarcophagus at Springfield
to prevent the possibility OF any further at
tempt by graye.robbers. The story runs
to the effect that the removal was made
within few days after the attempted desc
Grafton OF the grave few years ago; that
the body was placed in lead-lined. air
tight cedar casket, and placed in another
portion OF the monument, and that its loca-
ton is known only to few immediate
friends OF the family.
WHAT PROMPTED THE REMOVAL or TIE BODY.
CHICAGO. November ia gentleman IN
Springfield supposed to be thoroughly con-
yersant with the facts Of the removal OF
President Lincoln's body was asked what
prompted the removal. lie replied: "Af-
Ter an attempt to steal the body bad been
made by graye-robbers a few years ago the
parties who are responsible for the safe
keeping Of Mr.. Lincoln's remains held a
consultation, and a proposition to remove
! the body from the sarcophagus was unani-
mouslv concurred in. 1t was the desire OF
those citizens and officials who assumed
the responsibility for the removal that the
fact should not be made public"
The sarcophagus in which it has been
popularlv supposed the body OF the dead
| President has renamed ever since the
completion OF the monument is protected
simply by frail iron gate. \ gentleman
who claims 10 be familiar with all the de-
tails of the removal said Considerable
difficulty attended the transfer OF the body
as the embalming process had not proved
complete success. and the remains had tc
be handled with great care"
The informant further declared thai
when the thieves attempted in the first in
stance TO steal the body, and were scared
away, they left the coffin partly drawn on
OF the marble sarcophagliS which had en-
closed il. The ACCESSIBILITY OF finally Sc
creting the remains was OF course appa
rent, and the Monument Committee acted
accordingly.
II is further declared that the secret Of
the removal has been most carefully guard
ed. and that OF the thousands OF people
who yearly visit the tomb none have sus
spected the truth, although comment upoT
the apparent insecurity Of the sarcopha
Gus. in view OF the first attempt to stea
the body, has been frequent and marked.
