BODY ExHUMED.
Question Of the Life Insurance
Held by John Wilkinson
Of PdWtuckat.

Owing TO a question of life insurance,
the Dooy or the man who was found Sep
tember ia a cellar on the corner OF Lamb
and Canal streets, and which was later
claimed as the remains OF John Wilkin-
son, a missing Pawtucket man, was ex-
humed yesterday afternoon from the
North Burial ground.
There has been a doubt regarding the
true identification of the man as John
Wilkinson, some being sure the body is
his, and some the contrary.
If the body is John Wilknson's, the
family of the deceased can collect on an
insurance policy the man carried. The
insurance company must first have the
body identified beyond a reasonable doubt
as that of the deceased before IL will pay
the policy.
To clear up all such doubt It was that
the body of the man found In the Canal
street cellar and claimed as the remains
OF John Wilkinson was examined again.
Fhe examination of the remains yester-
day proved nothing. Medical Examiner
Palmer had charge of the body being
raised. The corpse differs. II is said. from
the description given of Wilkinson.
Wilkinson mad but few lower teeth. was
bald on the top of his head and was five
feet six inches tall.
The body exhumed was that OF a man
who had thick brown hair. good lower
teeth. and a height OF five feet eight
inches.
