The County Courts Investigation Com
mittee to-day resumed its work OF exam
lining graves in the County Pauper Gene
terry. Twenty-eight collins were exhumed
and OF these twenty were found to give
no evidence Of ever having contained hui
man bodies. The collins were buried in
1901. 1t IS understood that every coffin
buried within fthe last six years will
be exhumed.
It is expected that evidence will be
secured alleging graye-robbing for medi-
cal college purposes. Jim Golngs. the
negro charged with having committed the
flake" burials during the past few
months for the purpose of securing pay
ment for the same from the county treas

He swore on the stand that he had taken
collins to the County Cemetery Knowing
there was nothing in them.
