That similar laws exist in this country, Is
shown by dog being on trial for his life In

ALIVE IN HIS GRAVE,
Fred. Harder's Terrible Fate After
Swallowing Morphine:

Fred. Harder's Terrible Fate A1eer
Swallowing Morphine:
Great excitement has been caused at New
PHILADELPHIA, Ohio, by the discovery that
Frederick Harder had been buried alive a few
days before, and on recovering consciousness
had made terrible efforts to free himself from
bis prison house before death released nIm.
Harder took an Overdose OF morphine Pr9Da;,
bfy with suicidal intent, and apparently dled
n q few few hoiirs. The family Of the deceased
fe]t dispaced by the matter and sought TO
keen the facts as quiet as possiblei so there
was not as thorough an examination mace
es nossibly would otherwise have been. Inc
corpse was casually examined by physician
and life was pronounced extinct, ana tne TO
mains were buried.
NEXT day brother of the deceased, who
lives in Louisville, KY, arrived, and seemed
much disappointed at not arriving IN time
for the funeral. 1t was finally decided to
disinter the remains simply to gratry tne
brother, whose grief was pit1aole. Ihis was
done, and when the. casket was reacneo u
was fou6a that the glass IN the , no mao Deea aaa

most frantic at this new developement, and
it Is feared that he will lose his mind. The
casket was inclosed within a wooden box, SO
that the theory that the cofln.lid was broken
in burial is exploded, and those who were
present say that the usual care in lowering
coffins into the grave was taken. No blame
can be attached to any one but the family.
The remains were re-arrapged and buried.
