set aside so that pending litigation

Body Of Russell Sage Goes
Down into Grave.
GHOULS ARE DEFIED
Fear Of Grave Robbers Leads Wife
of Dead Financier to Take Extra
Precautions-Coffin and Case
- Cost $4,000.

Encased in a hermetically sealed
copper envelope placed within solid
mahogany coffin, the body of Russell
Sage was Wednesday placed in 3
chilled steel case, four inches thick,
riveted with steel bolts, locked with
a lock which can only be opened
from the inside and lowered into a
grave at Troy, n. Y. The grave was
carpeted and lined with evergreens
on which the clods were heaped and
the mound built The steel case weighs
three tons.
Immediately after the steel box anil
contents were lowered into the grave.
electrical connections were made and
immediate warning will be given Il
any attempt is made to tamper with
the remains.
Extraordinary efforts to thwart pcs
sible grave robbers was sanctioned Dy
Mrs. Sage and her closest friends.
Expenditures in this direction Will
be greater than ever known in the
burial of a private individual.
The coffin alone of solid mahogany
with it's copper inside envelope, trim
mings and handles, cost approximate
ly $1,000. The steel case and its pat
ent unpickable lock cost $4,000.
1t is called the burglar prccf coffin
and it Is ascertained that even with
out the added precaution Of electrical
protection or guards, it would be i'm
possible for the most expert grave
robber to get at the body.
Mrs. Sage, It Is said, has had a
dread Of the violation Of the sepuE
chre ever since the stealing OF the
body of A. T. Stewart, and she read
lily consented to the proposal for safe
guarding the grave Of her husband.
The steel case is of such hardness
that It would take two expert sate'
blowers to break the outer she'll and
then only by the employment OF spe-
cially constructed tools. There is no
visible lock to be attacked. Once the
lid is closed down, a self-locking mech
anism clamps it inside at twenty
points and not the slightest opening
is left for the insertion of a wedge.
The corners are all rounded.
The body of Russell Sage was
buried in Oakwocd cemetery beside
the body Of his first wife. The body
