HUSBAND HAS RIGHT TO MOVE
 WEES BODY

New Haven, Nov. 23-The husband is held to be the responsible person and has the right to move his wife s body to grave which he had pre- pared for it, in the opinion of Judge John R. Booth of the New Haven Common Pleas Court, who has decid- ed suit he heard a week ago. A son who paid for the burial lot in which his mother was buried, had sought to restrain his father from moving the body to a lot he had re- gently bought and in which he ex- pected his own body to be buried. The father had remarried and appar- ientIy there had arisen friction be- tween son and father. A temporary injunction by the son is dismissed
 The court holds that 1t is natural for the husband to wish to care for the body of his wife provided there are no reasons why he should not do so. Interference by the son in the removal of the body, the court said, in this instance was not to be toler- ated.
