MYSTERY IN A CEMETERY
Casket Lifted From Grave, But the Corpse
Still Inside
Stanford, Ky., January 31. – The coffin containing the body
of George B. Saufley , who was a prominent lawyer, and whose family is
prominent socially, was found above his grave in Stanford Cemetery early today.
At first the authorities refused to allow anyone to approach it until the
arrival of bloodhounds. One end of the lid was loose and the tracks of a man
and woman in mud on it.
A strange woman tried to get the body
several months ago by having the caretakers of the cemetery exhume it but they
refused. The grave was afterward guarded
for several weeks.
When bloodhounds were taken to the
cemetery the coffin was opened and the body was found undisturbed. The dogs
immediately took the trail of the supposed robbers.
