BURY BODIES ILLEGALLY
Strange Condition Is Found to
Exist in Baltimore.
DR.. Fulton. Secretary of the state
Board of Health. Discovers For
ty Cases OF secret Interment.

Baltimore. Oct. PA state Of affairs
which the State health authorities think
constitutes a dangerous menace 90 pub
lie health In Baltimore County was taken
into the courts to-day when Dr. John :.
Fulton, secretary 10 the State board OF
health went before Justice Herbert AT
TowsOu. this morning and swore out war
rants for twenty residents of the county
on the charge of burying bodies without
"a permit and without making any record
OF the burial or the place where the body
was put.
Dr. Fulton this afternoon outlined the
cause of The charges as follows:
The matter OK the unlawful disposal
Of dead bodies in Baltimore County first
came 10 the attention OF the State board
OF health last May through a large man
ufacturing concern. situated near the
Baltimore and Ohio crossing at High
IaudtOwn Complaint was made that
somewhat secluded spot within a hun
dred Yards OF the factory was being used
as "a burying ground for unknown dead
The intermeuts were made In the rudest
fashion, and the bodies were often in
sufficiently covered. and occasionally be
came exposed and created nuisance
A very short investigation soon led
us TO believe that similar irregular in
terments were occurring in other parts
of Baltimore County, and few in some
other PARTS OF the State. The state
board Of health. therefore. did not move
at once but kept the matter quiet for
the sake Of accumulating a considerable
amount OF evidence
The interest Of the state board o.
health in the matter consists in the inn
pairment of its mortality registration.
The interest OF the people Of the state
Is far larger than this. We find that
coroners in the Maryland counties are
not required to keep bodies of unknown
/ persons for any stated period OF time, or
TO make any special effort to identify un-
known dead. or even to given the friends
Iof a missing person a reasonable chance
of finding his body i is probable there
/ fore that the results Of our investigI-
tions have disclosed n state of affairs
which is disgraCeful TO the state as a
whole. though a very large humber Of
particular instances have been disclosed
/ in Baltimore County only
The practice IN Baltimore County
/ seems to have been TO dispose Of the I'M
/ known and pauDer dead as speedily and
as Cheaply as possible. We have found
Z very lew similar instances IN Othcf
parts of the State, but in Baltimore
County, and In HighlandtOwn especially.
/ this careless and inhuman way Of dis
posing of the dead seems to have been
going on on q rather large scale for
many years, and It seems most surpris-
/ ing that the matter had not long ago
risen 10 the proportions Of a public scan
( dal. The technical crime is the disposal
of dead body without an official record
and without d permit. but this technical
definition of the ohense covers d very
small part Of the injury to the people Of
