BURIED ALIVE
Are Two Aged Inmates of Ger.
man Odd Fellows Home
Believed to Have Been.

YoNKERS. N. Y, Feb. S.-Yo the
story that eight feeble inmates OF
the German Odd Fellows home here
had been put to death because they
were aged and required much atten-
ton was added today the suggestion
that two other inmates might have
been buried alive while still under
the influence OF an anaesthetic. 1t
was believed that at least two Of the
bodies were exhumed. The coroner
today began an Investigation Of this
suggestion. There was little tangible
for him to work on except reports
founded in the fears of present in
mates with whom he held long talk
yesterday. The New York undertake
ers. who took charge of the bodies,
were to be questioned as to what
steps had been taken to make sure
life was extinct before burial.
Henry Blum, an embalmer, ques-
toned today by the cononer. con-
frmed statement imputed to Fred
Mors, a former nurse. who told The
district attorney he had caused the
death Of three inmates. In relation to
the death of Henry Horn December
90. Blum told the coroner, It was
said, that when he took charge of
Horns body he noticed burn on
the mouth and asked Mors about it
and that Mors said that II had been
made by q cloth saturated with. an
aesthetic tied about the dead mans
face to hold his mouth shut. The
bodies of all the eight inmates, who.
Mors said, were put to death, were
