 The CofHns Filled With Quick

 SING SING, N. Y., July S.-The un- claimed bodies of the three murderers, Slocum, Wood and Jugiro, were buried in the prison cemetery at 8 o'clock this after noon. Nine convicts lowered the coffins, one after another, into the graves, which were then quickly filled up. There was no ceremony, religious or otherwise, at the graves. The remnants of Smiler's body were shipped to New York in a cherry coffin. They will be buried in Woodlawn cemetery.
 What remained of each nude body after the autopsy was placed in a rude pine cof- fin, on a bed of quicklime. More lime was poured over the flesh and the boxes were hurried into the graves, which were filled up and levelled of, leaving no traces of the burial As soon ss the bodies were removed from tlfe morgue convicts were at once set at work cleaning up the death chamber and putting it in order for the next execution.
