Buried Scotsman
BY the Associated Press

SYDNEY, Australia, Jan. o.
The public trustees Office today
ordered exhumation of Scots
man Donald McDonald's body to

life's savings there, and they re-
quested that the body be ex-
humed. But Undertaken Bruce
Maurer, who supervised the
burial in April. 1851, said he
didn't know whether the leg was

Chances are it never was taken
away from the city morgue."
The body of Mr.. Mcdonald,
who was thought to have been
penniless, will probably be ex-
humed next week.
