Knoxville Coroner Refuses 10 AS
sumo Responsibility for DIS

Knoxville, Tenn, Dec. II (AP)-
Preparations for disinterring the char
red bodies of four victims of tene-
ment house fire came to an abrupt
halt today when Coroner John Scott
refused to take the responsibility for
opening the graves.
The coroner had said earlier that he
would obtain court order to ex-
hume the bodies of Mrs. Mckinley
Conaser and her three children for
examination to determine If there
were any Indications of violence.
PERSONALLY, I feel that sufficient
proof has not been shown to warrant
disinterring the bodies" Scott said.
Nine persons died in flames that
swept the two-story frame building in
the early morning of December 9.
