Almost Buried Alive,

A Memphis Tenn dispatch TO the
Chicago Herald of n recent date saws:
Ten days ago news was received here OF
the death in Hudson county, Tenn, of
Mrs. Sarah Webb, who had been mar
married about two years. The fatal dis
ease was believed to be consumption.
Mrs. Dicie Webb, the mother-in-law
OF the young woman, was very much at
tached to her and at the old lady's
earnest request the body was shipped to
Memphis FOR interment. When it ar
rived Mrs. Webb, Sr., had the lid OF the
collin taken off that she might once
more gaze on the features of the dead
and at her command all others left the
room. Mrs. Webb was struck by the
llfe-like appearance of the body, but no
thought of the truth entered her mind.
After looking at the still face for
moment she leaned over and kissed il.
me flesh was warm to her touch anC
she thought the body stirred. Starting
back in alright, she saw the shrouded
form rise up in the coffin and stretch
out its arms to her. Mrs. Webb screamed
at the top of her voice and sank into ~
chair. The young woman, for the dead
had returned to life, moaned slightly.
and said in weak, unnatural voice.
where am II" BY this time a number
ol people nad been attracted to the
room by the screams of the elder Mrs.
Webb. They found her in fainting
condition and the daughter-in-law MAX
ing vain efforts to crawl out of the
coffin. Willing hands extricated her
from her hideous quarters and laid her
in bed. She began talking in nat
ural tone and said to those about her:
"Oh, it was awful. | remember the
occurrence of a few minutes since when
they said | was dead. | tried so hard
to speak or move, but couldn't. Then
they put me in the coffin. In the dark.
horrible black box | was conscious all
the time. Then L remembered looking
into mothers face, and then for the
first time became unconscious, and what
happened | don't know" Within an
hour afterward Mrs. Webb went into a
fit of Inconsistencies, from which she
never recovered. The body was kept
two days, and, unmistakable evidence
OF death being apparent, it was buried
with the usual ceremonies. The ply
sicians who attended the young woman
here are undecided as to the explana-
tion of her case.
