w HERE is THE BODY?
Strange Disappearance Of the Remains Of q
Colored Nan.
They Were Not Found in the Coffin
When the Grave In the POtter's
Field Was Opened.

A rather unusual case of body-snatching
or something very much akin to 1t. has just
been brought to the attention Of the author
| tiles. and Health Oficer Woodward, with
the assistance OF Detective Lacey, is MAX
ing a thorough Investigation for the purpose
OF getting to the bottom Of the matter.
On Sunday a colored man by the name
Of Anderson, sixty-one years Of age, died of
bronchial trouble at the Freedmans Hospi-
tai He had lived in this city for the past
nifty years and was fairly well-to-do citi-
zen.
Shortly after his death his niece, his near
est relative. was communicated with by
teleI hoie, and she set about making prep
arations for giving him decent burial. She

ties that the body would be removed.
Nobody i'm the CONN.
The undertaken was not as diligent as he
might have been. perhaps in getting the
buria' permit, but however that may be, it
seems that when he went to the hospital
iuesday morning he was told that the
body had already been buried in potter's
Thereupon he applied to the health officer
Tor q permit to open the grave and to re-
inter the body in Harmony cemetery When
the grave was opened 1t was found that
wv OtHcr CoiHHS were resting upon the one
which was supposed to contain the body of
Anderson. When the one they were look
ing Tor was finally taken out and opened It
was discovered that there was no body
there, and that to all appearances there
never had been one inside. The lid was
screwed down tightly presumably as ii
was when 1t left the hospital. inside how
ever, there was nothing but a lot of old
slate to give the coffin the desired weight
ana over this was thrown a suit Of old
clothes and a hat
On the Hunt.
The matter was at once referred to the
police authorities and Inspector Holm
berger detailed Detective Lacey upon the
case. After conference with DR.. Wood
ward 1t was decided to visit all the medical
COLLEGES and dissecting CONS in the city in
an EFFORT to locate the missing body. Dr.
woodward and the detective started out at
IL o'clock this morning on their search and
drove at once to the Freedman's Hospital
TO IND out everything possible about the
case there, and to see If the body might

nection with Howard University

the dead wagon could not have had an
opportunity to tamper with the coffin, even
II ne had wanted to. between the time he
got II at the hospital and the time he
turned 1t over to the authorities at potter's

evidently on the heory that the body never
left the hospital at all.
