its eyes. smacked it's lips and exchanged
grins yesterday after drinking some of

instance recorded in courts in this vicin-

the evidence for themselves" suggested

heard for a few moments in the court
room. one juror was heard to murmur,

as he took a swallow. The eleventh and
twelfth juror became uneasy as the bot
tie was passed, but there was still some
left. and there was a matter of Thin
bleful left when the Assistant District
Attorney got the bottle. The jury then
retired. with instructions from the
Judge. that If they found the liquor of
sufficient strength to come within the
Mullan-Gage act they must find the de-
fendant guilty.

WIFE'S BODY LOST,
GETS $4,000 VERDICT
Seigrist Sued Cemetery Trus-
tees for Negligence in 1918
Flu Epidemic.

Charles seigrist OF. 1922 Amsterdam
avenue. whose wife was buried in ST.
Raymond's Cemetery. The Bronx, in
1918. without a record as to the exact
place of burial. yesterday recovered
$2,500 from the cemetery company for
the loss of her body. The verdict was
returned by jury in the Bronx Supreme
Court before Justice John M. Tierney.
Seigrists action. as Justice Tierney
pointed out in his charge. was based on
the contention the cemetery officials and
their subordinates We're negligent in
maintaining cemetery records.
Mrs. Seigrist died in October. 1918.
when the worst influenza epidemic in the
history of the country was at its peak.
ST. Raymond's Cemetery was receiving
from forty to fifty bodies a day instead
of the five or six normally received, and
this condition, aggravated by strike of
grave diggers, operated to delay burials.
When the body of Mrs. Seigrist was
taken to the cemetery Mr.. Seigrist was
informed by the superintendent 1t would
not be possible to bury it Immediately.
Seigrist left sthe body in receiving
vault and the superintendent assured
him he would be notified of the date
of burial. A short time later DR.. Arthur
]. O'Leary, Health Commissioner of The
Bronx, learned that between seventy
and eighty bodies we're lying in the re-
ceiving vault and he directed the cem-
etery authorities to bury them imme-
diately. The cemetery complied by de-
posting the bodies one beside the other
in a trench instead of individual graves.
Employees were required to mark each
coffin box and it was in this process
that the body of Mrs. Seigrist was lost.
Twenty-Five graves later We're opened in
an effort to locate it.

policeman, and in time the dynamite
was removed to the West tThirtieth
street police station and forwarded to

Department.
At IL o'clock last night. nine hours
after the dynamite was found, Rudolph
said that none of the policeman had
sought to question him further. He wished
they had. because he had neglected
to tell Patrolman Cohen of the three
sticks that had been buried. and he
could not get them because the gate TO
the lot would be locked. Late last night
the police entered the lot and got the

MISS NORMAND HAS
CHANGED HER HOME
Movie Actress Forced From
Fatigue to Seek Quiet in
SeclusiOn.

Los ANGELES. Feb. 1S.-The failure Of
Edward F. Sands, missing secretary OF
William Desmond Taylor. slain film
director. to respond to an offer of inn
munity from District Attorney Wool
wine, left the investigation where it
was when it started, that official said
late to-day
Mr.. Woolwine last night. in response
to a letter purporting to have been die
tated b. Sands. issued letter to the
press stating Sands would not be pros
ecuted on an old charge of embezzle
ment If he would. surrender and tell
what he knew Of the Taylor Staying.
The District Attorney said he had no
reason to believe the supposed Sands
letter was genuine, but declared his
offer of immunity stood irrespective of
this consideration. Police investigators
and the District Attorney have insisted
from the start that Sands could furnish
the key to the mystery.
Mabel Normand, film actress, one Of
the last persons who saw Taylor before
he was shot. removed from her residence
nj the Wiltshire district to an unnamed
address to-day. Friends said she was
seeking seclusion to get some rest, made
necessary by the stress of repeated in
terviews concerning the case.
Official investigators said Miss Nor
rnand had given satisfactory responses
to all questions put to her, and expressed
no interest concerning her removal
to-day.
Claude G. Nornand. Mabel Nor
mand's' father. said last night that he
didn't believe Los Angeles report that
his daughter and her chauffeur had dis
appeared and that the authorities there
wanted to find their new address. He
said he and Mrs. Normand had not
heard from the film star since early in
the week and were not expecting any
word aside from her usual letters. Mr..
Normand was found at work in Staple
ton Hall, a motion picture and dancing
pavilion. At the Normand home, 1876
st. Marks place, New Brighton. Mrs.
Normand could not be found.
