In the early arrangement of the de-

GRAFTON was proposed to the mother of

gestion favorably, and after mature de-
liberation decided to act upon it
The fact that various concerns, seek
ing to crafty the morbid curiosity of
the public mind, had offered Mrs. Jack
son enormous sums of money for the
dead body of her only son and the fear
of ghouls and grave robbery, infiu-
enced the mother in her decision to re-
sort to cremation as not only a sensi-
BILE but the only safe means for the
disposal of her erring sons dead body.
