Whether a man can ha punished
| fof failing to provide Christian bur
ial for his deceased infant was the
question raised in recent case. A
child of defendants having died, he
set about to bury it, Taking some
pieces of rough board, he made a
rude box to serve as coffin. Al
though he had good lumber out of
which he could have made a better
and more presentable box, he said
that he did not propose using his
good lumber for this purpose. This
| box was taken to point in a woods
| lot, and q grave was dug by two
neighbors about two feet deep. De-
PENDANT brought the corpse from the
house in q small paper box, to where
the grave was being dug, placed 1t
upon the ground, and assisted in dig
ging the grave When completed,
the paper box with the corpse in it
was placed in the wooden box and
lowered. The grave was then filled
to q level with the surrounding
ground, defendant assisting in tramp
ing the dirt as it was being put
back into the grave. No services Of
any kind were held at the grave.
The court held that it was the right
Of defendant to select the place
where his child should be buried,
and he violated no law or duty in
selecting a spot in the woods, rath-
er than in a cemetery. There is no
rule Of law defining how a corpse
shall be dressed for burial, or the
character Of coffin or casket in
which it should be inclosed, or the
material out of which the box shall
be made, or the depth Of the grave;
nor is it an offense not to notify
relatives and friends so that they
may be present at the interment,
for they have no legal right to be
present There is no law imposing
upon those having in charge the
burial of the dead any duty to have
the interment accompanied with re-
ligious ceremony. The court said in
conclusion: 1T was no doubt the eX-
IRENE miserly and niggardly DISPOSE
ton manifested by appellant that
aroused the Indignation Of his neigh
boris, causing the Indictment, and Ill
timately induced the jury to assess
the fine against him, which he did.
While by the facts in the record,
appellant is shown to be a man
utterly lacking in parental instincts,
he has kept himself within the pale
of the law"

Popular Talks on Law
BY WALTER K j. D. OF THE MICHIGAN BAR

state laws have been passed to pro-
tect cemeteries from spoilation.
The law is strongly inclined to
protect the individual grave as we'll
as the cemetery as a whole. This is
shown by the statement Of the court
| in recent ease where an effort
was being made by the accused in a
murder trial to have the dead body
# the victim eXhumed for examina-
zion. The court said, in part: Can
(the court), without the consent
If the kindred OF the dead, invade
the sacred precincts Of the ceme-
1ery, and tear open again and LAGER
ate afreSh the hearts of those that
| loved him, and to whom his memory
is sacred and dear? With what rev.
erence do we all regard the graves
| of our dead, and each returning
| flowers. There is an instinct planted
! by nature in the human breast to
feel strong aVersiOn-almOst hOr
ror-at the dissertation of the grave
The maxim, 'Requiescat in pace Get
him rest in peace, speaks this feel
ing. The great dramatist impressive
ly tells this tender emotion in the
prayeFful epitaph written by his own
hand for his tombstone:
Good friend, for Jesus sake for
bear
To dig the dust enclosed here;
Blest be the man that spares these
stones,
And cursed be he that moves my
bones"
"The conclusion is that court
will only exercise the power, if it
has such power, to order the body
Of a deceased, in murder prOsecu-
ton, to be disinterred, when to do
so is plainly necessary and essential
to the justice and fairness of the
trial and is a matter in the discre-
ton Of the court"
While there can, generally speak
ing, be no property rights in dead
body the relatives Of the deceased
have a recognized right to dispose of
the remains in a proper manner. A
husband or wife is generally recog-
nized as having. the first right to
care for the remains and select a
place of burial. In the absence Of a
husband or wife, the next of kin
has the right and also the duty to
provide for the burial. Where the
parties most closely connected with
the deceased, who have the right Of
burial, select or agree to a place Of
burial, that is regarded as final, and
the law will not allow removal
except for some necessary or laud
able purpose. Where the deceased
had clearly indicated a wish as to
burial, the courts will enforce it,
even though the relatives oppose.
Not only has the nearest surviving
relative the right to arrange the
burial, but the duty also rests upon
him. For failure to fulfill this duty
he may be punished in criminal ac-
ton.

Iron Prosp ects at Brentwood

1t now seems quite probable that
the towns of Couderay and Edge
water are soon to be added to the
great iron ore producing centers, as
it is reported that ore of a very high
quality has been found. Two diamond
drills are now at work, one between
Yarnell and Meteor, the other south
east Of Brentwood, and the third
one is being put in between Yarnell

for we personally have seen the ma

CEMETERIES

Not only do the courts apply the
laws for our protection while we are
living. but they often find it neceS
sary to protect our remains after we
are dead. The law recognizes the sa-
credness Of a grave, and within GER
tain limits. will exercise it's author
ity to protect it.
The control of cemeteries is a
matter within the province OF the
state legislature The state law
makers may, and frequently do,
enact laws regulating places Of bur
ial, providing for the establishment
Of new ones, or the abandonment OF
old ones.
At the present time it is COM
mon custom for a cemetery assocla-
ton to secure title to a suitable
tract of ground. What ground may
be used for this purpose is within
the control of the state or municipal
ity. individuals secure the rights of
DuIldl Ill Pal IlCu 1OCo IL Jill CAI~
company. They do not take title to
the lot, but only purchase right
to use, and the right to such care
by the association as is specified
in the contract. A written contract or
deed is not necessary in law to con
fer right in a cemetery lot
Public cemeteries may become es-
tablished by general and long-con-
tinued usuage, in general cases it
is held that the land has been ded-
icated to use as a cemetery by the
original owners. Thus it has been
held a good dedication in law where
4 land owner stated to people liV-
ing in the vicinity that the land
might be used as a place of burial,
and allowed it to be fenced, improved
and exclusively used as a cemetery
for a long period of time.
Unless one can be very sure that
a neighborhood burial place, which
has not been secured by purchase
by corporation or association has
been legally dedicated, he cannot be
assured that graves in it will be
undisturbed. In a recent case, the
Missouri court very reluctantly de
clared it had no right to protect
burial ground which had never been
dedicated to that purpose by the
owners of the land. Later owners in
sisted on tearing down the old fence
and allowing cattle to pasture in the
old burial ground. Descendants of
those buried in the ground objected
and sought to secure by force of law
the permission to fence the graves
Of their ancestors. The court in
formed them that their only rights
were to remove the bodies.
But once cemetery has been
properly established, the courts are
inclined to guard it from interfer-
ence except in cases Of the most
Obvious necessity. The growth Of a
city may sometimes make it neces-
s&ry to move a burying ground, or
long continued neglect may result in
its eventual abandonment. Many
