CASE OF STEEL
GUARDS BODY Of
RUSSELL SAGE

New York. July 2s.-Encased in a her
metically sealed copper envelope, placed
within a solid mahogany coffin. the body
OF Russell Sage was yesterday placed in
a chilled steel case. four inches thick,
rivetted with steel bolts, locked with a
lock which can never be opened, and low
cred into a grave carpeted and lined with
evergreens, on which the cods will be
hesped and the mound built
The steel case weighs three tons. II
is feet and II inches in length, feet
s inches in depth and 3 feet s inches in
width. Ten strong men fnd IL a task to
lift IT,
Immediately after the steel box and the
contents were lowered into the grave
electrical connections we're made and
strung, so that an immediate alarm will
be given IL any attempt Is made to tamper
with the remains.
The burial was IN Oakwood cemetery
Troy beside the grave OF Mr. Sages first
wife The extraordinary effort TO thwart
attempts by grave robbers was taken at
the instance of Charles l.. Medler sex
ton end funeral director of the Collegiate
church. and was sanctioned by Mrs. Sage
and by her closest advisers
The expenditure for this protection. and
for the coffin and accessoriee VIII he
greater so far as known. than any sum
expended in the burial OF any other pri-
vate citizen In the United States. and
is In striking contrast with the rigid
economies practiced during the long life
time OF Mr.. Sage.
The coffin alone-of solid mahogany
with It's copper inside ENVELOPES the
most expensive ever manufactured. With
its trimmings and mahogany handles ITS
cost approximates 5000. The steel case
and it's patent unpickable lock cost s22. 900
II Is called the burglar-proof coffin, and
Il ls asserted that even without the added
precaution OF electrical protection or
guards. II would be impossible for the
most expert grave robbers 20 get at the
body.
Mrs Sage has had a dread OF vio-
lation OF sepulchre ever since the steal
ing OF the body Of A. r Stewart. and she
readily consented To the proposal for safe
guarding the grave OF her husband
Nothing has been said To her OF the
cost, al she knows Is that the grave
will be made absolutely proof against i'm
proper Interference, and with that she Is
content. The steel case is OF such hard
ness that II would take two expert safe
openers full day 20 break the outer
shell and then only by the employment
of specially constructed tools. There ls no
visible lock 70 be attacked
once the lid Ia closed down = self-lock-
ing mechanism clamps Il inside at 20
points. and not the slightest opening Is
left for the Insertion OF n wedge The
