Mayor of Indianapolis Has Conference
With a Ghoul and
Gets Some Confidential
Information.
Indianapolis, Ind.. Nov. 18.?
Mayor Bookwalter and Rufus
Cantrell, the grave robber, had a
conference in the grand jury room
tiday. The Mayor went to see
Cantrell in answer to an appeal
from a mother, who feared that
her son*!* body had been stolen.
Before he left, Caotrell made a
confident of him.
((lf what Cantrell told me was
true, half of this grave robbing
bu-iness has not been disclosed,"
said the mayor.
Minnie Waddell of St. Louis
bad appealed to the mayf}? to find
out whether the body of her son.
Walter, had been stolen from
Mount Jackson cemetery. Cantrell
immediately recalled the date of
the lad's burial and the location
of the grave.
"But we did not take the body,"
said he "it was too small. I could
only sell four bodies of children
in a year, for the college only
needed that many.
"Are you sure of this case?"
asked the mayor.
"Sure? Well, I should say I
am," answered the grave robber.
"If you will go to Mount Jackson
you will find a lump of coal at
the head of the grave. That is to
notify any ene in the business
that the body 16 undesirable. The
night after the boy was buried I
went to Mount Jackson to get
another body. I took the coal
along us a marker. It is a sign
understood by all grave robbers."
Cantiell was before the grand
jury for more than an hour today.
