Durrsnt's Body Not Buried.

San Francisco, Jan. 10.-The
body of Theodore Durrant is
still unburied. The Odd Eel
lows cemetery's refusal to re-
ceive the body was emphatic.
The Los Angeles institution
has also been appealed to in
vain. Lawrence cemetery has
not made its refusal so abso-
lutte. and the Durrants have a
lingering hope that their sons
remains may be buried there.
Failing in that, they will proba-
bly, bury the body at sea. Some
thing must be done before
Wednesday or the law will in
tervene to force the disposal of
the remains. Mr.. Durrant
talks of a lawsuit against the
crematorles, which have de
cllned to receive the remains.
The desire of the parents is to
carry out the request of their
son that his body may ne so
disposed of that no post NOR
tenn examination can be made.
