RETURNS TO STOP OWN WAKE
Jersey Painter Comes Home From Job
to Find Family Weeping Over
His Supposed Body.

Kearney, N. flames Kelly was
shocked at witnessing what his rela-
tives and friends believed to be his
own wake" When he returned to
his home, after few days absence
on a painting job, he found his sister,
Mrs. Catherine O'Brien, his two broth
ers and a score Of neighbors sitting
in the front parlor weeping over a
coffin.
The mourners spied him as he stood
on the threshold amazed at the scene,
and his sister tainted at the shock of
seeing him. The other mourners
when assured that he was not ghost,
explained affairs.
During his absence the newspapers
had told of the death Of James Kelly
from sunstroke in Newark. When
Mrs. O'Brien read the item she feared
that the victim was her brother and
that the paper had misspelled his
name. -
She went to view the body, and the
features were so nearly the double Of
those of her brother that she believ-
ed it to be his body and ordered it re-
moved to her home.
