IBr TELEGRAPH THE TkBUNE.1
Boston, Oct. 14.-The grave of Ralph Waldo
Emerson in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, Concord,
was opened on Saturday night, and so disturbed
that the coffin was exposed to view. Fortunately
the body Of the venerated philosopher un-
molested and this is probably due TO the fact thas
the miscreants frightened away before they
had accomplished their object and had stolen the
skull or perhaps the body of Emerson.
The work Of the vandalS was accidentally dis
covered on Sunday by visitor TO the cemetery,
who at once informed the authorities. Edward
W. Emerson, son OF the philosopher, who has
been absent from home for week, returned this
afternoon, and the work of Investigation was at
once begun. The aperture made at the head Of
the grave about seven feet deep and three
feet wide. The wooden box inclosing the coffin
was somewhat decayed, the burial having taken
place about eight years ago. In the dirt which
the raScals had thrown out were some pieces Of
the box. One side of the coffin had fallen down
a little, but this is attributable to natural decay.
Otherwise the coffin had not been disturbed or
opened, and the report that Mr.. Emerson's skull
had beer removed is false. The dirt was replaced
in the grave and a watch was placed over the
grave.
The excitement and indignation at Concord over
the outrage are intense, and it is likely to go hard
with the perpetrators if they are caught TheO-
ries as TO the motive of the rascals are numerous
The grave is situated at the further side of the
cemetery, away from the Bedford road. 1t rained
heavily all Saturday night. Fifteen minutes ad-
ditOnal labor would have enabled the thieves to
open the coffin and remove anything which they
desired to secure. Another theory is that some
of the young toughs" around town desired to
create sensation, and took such means of doing it,
intending TO go no further than was done. Still
another theory is that the rascals were actuated
by spirit of revenge toward Edward w Emer-
son on account of his activity on the Board Of
Health, and also because of his attempts to ferret
out some of the numerous cases of house breaking
that have occurred in Concord during the last
year or two.
