HUSBAND PELTED
AT HIS WIFE'S FUNERAL.
ENGLISH CROWD’S SUSPICION
EVIDENT.
(Rec. 9.40) LONDON, March 4. Shouting “chuck him in” 300 angry women threw snowballs and earth at a man as he was standing at the graveside of his wife at her funeral at the Mexborough Cemetery. A crowd of neighbours booed and hissed as the cortege left for the cemetery. They again booed when the husband appeared behind the coffin.
' As the vicar turned from the graveside, after the burial service, there was shouting and stoning. The body of the man’s 34-year-old wife was recently recovered from a canal.
