Legal Fight for
Frenchman's Corpse
Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star
PARIS, June 80 1893.
FADED Parisians have found something
to interest and amuse them In a keen
legal fight which is now going on for
the possession of a corpse between the
children of a wealthy druggist by his first
wife and his young and pretty widow The
druggist amassed fortune of over 81 600
600 by patent medicine which he in
vented. and left both his widow and chill
dren well provided for. He was buried I'm
the family vault which belongs to the lat
ter. The widow wants the body removed
to another part of the cemetery, that she
may have the consolation of being laid at
rest beside 1t when her turn comes to de
part from this mundane sphere The chill
dren contend that they have prior rights
in the remains of their defunct sire aud
that the soace of being buried beside him
some day should be theirs.
That the druggist devoted to his sec
ond wife Is shown not only by the gener-
Gus provision he made for her In his will.
but by the fact, according to the story
told by his other heirs, that he lived with
her for year and half before the divorce
court set her free to marry him. He died
suddenly in a motor car of a serious COM
plant from which he was suffering. while
he was on a tour In the south of France
with her. When he breathed his last they
were twenty miles from the nearest big
town, which had been their destination.
and as none of the country people on the
way would consent to receive the body, the
poor woman drove all that distance, sup
porting the gruesome burden in her arms
This is adduced by her counsel as proof
that. despite their disparity IN years. she
was ardently attached TO him. As reward
for such affection. he maintains. she should
be made the custodian of his remains. Inc
counsel on the other side says that such
touching proof of wifely devotion affords
no evidence that the young and pretty
widow will not some day console herself
with another husband And that husband,
IL he survives her, would, he contends,
strenously object to having her buried
ALONGSIDE of his predecessor. He draws
touching picture of the loneliness Of the
decea sed patent medicine proprietor, left to
moulder in solitary and neglected grave,
and eiouuently protests against a decision
being given which would expose him to
such fate.
