several years the wife of A. S.

was done and the body arrived
here on Thursday evening with
no one to meet the remains.
Soon, after, however, Mr.. Jones
arrived on horseback and told
Mr.. Fream that he had no money
and that he could ship the body
back to the asylum. Mr.. Fream
then received orders to release
the body if the express charges
we're paid. but Mr.. Jones could
not do this, so he was allowed to
take the body on promise to
pay the bill within thirty days.

twenty-four hours and Mr..
