VALUABLE METALS TAKEN

Erie, Pa. Feb. lit was dlscov-
cred that the body of Mrs Anna NJ.
McCollum had not been removed from
the Scott mausoleum In the Erie Gem
etery, as had been supposed
The vault contains twenty-four com.
partments, and the body was found on
one OF these unmolested.
It is now believed the robbery Of
the mausoleum was perpetrated for
the sole purpose Of obtaining costly
metals on some of the caskets.
After forty-elght hours OF fruitless
work on the case the police found a
clew that may aid them to track the
grave robbing band that broke into
the magnificent mausoleum OF the
Scott family in Erie cemetery.
Louis Wadlinger, milk dealer, has
informed the police that at about four
o'clock on the morning Of Jan. q his
wagon was stopped near the cemetery
By man who asked him for match.
Wadlinger says the man told him he
had heard hammering In the Gene
terry and later saw four men emerge
through a hole in the cemetery fence.
On account OF the reticence Of the
police and members of the family
much mystery surrounds the desecra-
ton OF the mausoleum
Until now II was evident that the
police and the family were not IN
accord in regard to the method to be
pursued in the search for clews TO
the ghous
In regard to this a high official OF
the police department, who refused 10

etery fence about 500 feet from the
vault This corroborates the tale OF
Wadlinger.
An investigation Of the vault has
shown conclusively that the ghou's
were familiar with the wrok under
taken. When the copper plates in
front Of the crypts were torn away a
sharp hooked instrument was run into
the crypt and the name plates pulled
from the caskets.
