Last Grave Robbed 1894.
The last grave robbery recorded by
the police was carried into effect in
the winter of 1894 at Payne's Gene
terry. Prior to that time the transac-
tions of the resurrectionists had been
audacious. and when arrested the
vandals in the. absence of law deal
ing directly with the subject, were
charged in the police court with a
misdemcanor-Vlolati of a health
office ordinance against transporting
a dead body through the streets with
out a permit. The extreme penalty for
the violation OF this regulation was
Imprisonment for one year in the Dis
trict Jail Both Vigo Jensen-R as
he was pleased to term himself. and
Percy Brown served several terms for
grave despoliation. Both men were
Russians. and Brown was frequently
assisted in his ghastly work by his
sister. Maude Brown, who also figured
as a soothsayer.
For a number of years the police de-
partment had in its collection of relics
of crime the emblems of the body
smatchers. grave hooks and the long
canvas sacks in which the cadavers
were transported from the cemetery
to the dissecting room. In removing
body from the grave an opening
was made in the mound at the head
of the grave and when the coffin was
reached the upper part of the casket
was lifted away and the hooks adjust
ed under the arms Of the corpse,
which was then raised to the surface
by the resurrectionist and his assist
ants, and the aperture refilled and
carefully remounded II the grave
was covered with grass the sod was
replaced with care to cover UP the
work of the despoilers.
Catacombs of Dead
Shortly before this unholy business
was brought to an end here by the
activity of the police. a shanty occu-
pied by Percy Brown. his sister and
several accompliCes. was raided by
the police and a wholesale traffic in
CadaYers discovered. The building was
situated on a high embankment in
northeast Washington in an isolated
locality, and the raiding party found
caVe-a sort of cataComhs of the
dead-near the dwelling in which
Brown had stored a number of Cadav-
ers for final shipment to medical COL
leges in other cities. Most of the
bodies had been taken from potter :
field. from which place the resurrec-
tionists reaped their principal harvest.
1t was only when material for their
trade could not be had in the paUpers'
burial place that the ghouls invaded
the precincts of the private ceme.
teries
One particularly outrageous case
about thirty years ago caused wide
spread indignation in this city. The
wife of a government official had been
buried with her newborn babe in one
Of the most particular cemeteries in
the District. The husband claimed TO
have a premonition that the body OF
his wife had been stolen from the
grave. His belief became so strong
