Grave Is Disturbed to Solve Mystery
of London.

Loldon.-The work of opening the
grave of Thomas Charles bruce in
Highgate cemetery to determine pri-
marily whether the coffin contains the
body of man or, as has been asserted,
a roll of sheet lead weighing some 200
pounds was begun today. incidentally
the clearing up of this mystery will
help materially the progress of the
famous bruce case.
The three-ton monument which
marks the resting place of the bruce
family was removed by a score of
workmen, who were protected from
public observation by a shed which
had been erected around the burial
plot Within the shed electric lights
were installed so that operations
might proceed without interruption.
All OF those In attendance at the
opening of the grave and the coffin
have been sworn to secrecy, so that
the result Of the investigation will not
be known until the expert evidence IS
developed at the police court.
