SUIT OVER A CORPSE.
Columbia Negroes Figure 2 in an
Unusual Case.

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 27-A re-
plevin suit for dead human body is
rare enough to excite some curiosity,
and when two rival funeral professions
filed into Magistrate Jake Levine s
court this morning to leave to the law
the question of whose was the better
claim on the corpse, there was an in
teresting gathering of onlookers.
Lille Belle Caruthers, colored, came
from Columbia about four months ago
to visit her aunt, Lora Bryan. She
became ill. and died Wednesday morn
ing. Her father, Tucker Caruthers
was notified, and he came at once to
take the body to Columbia for burial.
The aunt objected, and said the body
must be buried here. The old man be-
came intoxicated, and the aunt took
advantage of the situation to have him
arrested for drunkenness. He got out
of the workhouse this morning, how
ever. and made his way to the Bryant
house, where hes found the body of his
daughter prepared for burial. He re-
solved to stop the proceedings, and,
gathering few sympathizers about
him, swore out the writ of replevin.
The officers took charge of the body
and brought it into court. Both trains
of mourners followed, and the room
was filled.
After hearing the evidence in tn,
case which developed the fact tha
the dead womans life had been il
sured for 800 for the benefit of hel
father, Magistrate Levine decided tina
the fathers claim was better than th,
aunt's, and the organized funera
broke up in disgust.
