Ii was burned i'm the fire that occurred
last December. The skeleton appeared
to be that of a man about six feet tall.

and covered with cinders. The feet
were placed against the east foundation
and the body and head were lying to-

covered with cinders. How long il has
been there, Is simply matter of con.
