MAY EXPLORE
FAMOUS TOMB
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALI.

OIENiAi4 DtnEA4Od THE CALI.
ROME, June LIT is rumored that
the Pope may authorize DIR. Hartmann
Grisar, the Jesuit priest who recently
made some interesting antiquarian dis
coveries in the ''sancta sanctorum" of
the Ocala Santa Church, to explore ST
Peters tomb in the cathedral at the
Vatican. The apostles resting place
was untouched at the time the church
was demolished and has remained un-
seen, except by Pope Clement VIII
when the pavement of the crypt col
lapsed in 1894.
If the rumor is correct the expIora-
tion is bound to be of the highest his
torical interest, as the tomb has es-
capped Dissertation since the time of
Emperor Constantine I. and must con-
tain the apostles body incased in a
silver coffin and a large gold crosx
weighing $50 pounds placed there by
Constantine and his mother, Flavia
Julia Helena, in the year S20
The tomb is also Said to contain
gold plate jewels. candelabra and other
ornaments. Protestants maintain that
the tomb does not contain st. Peters
body.
