penitentiary, attempted to steal the
body of Abraham Lincoln from the
Oak Ridge cemetery in Springfield

The story, held secret during these
years because Of pledge given by
Elmer Washburn, then chief of the

The plan, according to evidence
gathered by the secret service, was
to remove the body to Canada and tc
hold 1t there until the state authorities
would consent to free the convict.
On the night of the planned theft
four secret service men working
under Washburn hid in the cemetery
and watched the prelmnaries Of the
