Cemetery to recover actual possession OF the BODY
of DR.. Buchanan from whom she secured separa-
ton about ten years ago. She also asks for $1,000
damages against the defendant for the unlawful
seizure and burial OF her husbands body.
The defendant filed answer denying that the
body had been unlawfuy seized and Withheld.
The defendant Buchanan. by his counsel, declared
that he had a right 10 the body. as his brother DIR.
Buchanan had before his death requested him TO
take his body and bury 1t. This request. Mr.. Buch-
anan said, he had a perfect right to carry out
under Section 3GJ OF the Code which provides That
a person may direct what shall be done with his
body after death and that this request must be re-
spected. The plaintiffs counsel demurred to this
part OF the answer upon the ground that the Code
had not been complied with. Mr.. Miller contended
that the disposition of Il body as provided for in
the Code intended and required that the direction
for the disposition of the body should be made In

Hall and Mr.. Overington, counsel for the defend-

a body was sufficient Justice Beekman overrued
the demurrer. holding that the verbal disposition
sufficient.
BY his will DR.. Buchanan practically disinherits
his wife and three daughters, and makes Mrs. FOs-
ter the principal beneficiary. He bequea thed to his
wife $50 saying THE reason for said bequest be-

wife for several years past and. further she nav.
