OPENS A GRAVE AT LAST.
Chicago Lawyer Bares Skeleton
Where He Expects Wax Figure.

The opening of the grave of La Flora
s. Baker in Big Rapids. Mich. the other
day forms the last act of strange legal
controversy of years standing. James
Donovan. a Chicago attorney, who during
that period has carried on peculiar bat
tie against Senator Thomas c. Plat.
contended that the opened grave would
reveal wax figure instead of the skele-
ton of the lumberman. His claim was
disproved. He and Baker were partners
in the lumber business. Several of their
ventures. in which Platt's name figured,
went to the wall. Declaring that the SEN
ator had induced Baker to flee to Europe.
and that wax figure was buried in Ba-
ker's supposed grave, Donovan has
brought many suits against Plat. which,
however, the courts rejected.
