Charged with removing the body of his
daughter from a coffin and attempting to
thro@ it out of window, Charles An
derson was called an .'inhuman monster
by Magistrate Moss in police court in
New York. MY only regret said the

Anderson went to the home of his wife

drove his wife and other mourners out
of the place, then deliberately tried to
throw the body of his daughter out of a
window. He was sent to the workhouse
