Securities in Coffin
(Rec. 11 a.m.) GENEVA, Aug. 25. Sceptical Customs officials at Pontarlier on the Franco-Swiss frontier lifted a coffin bearing a well-known Swiss undertaker's name and found it light. They ordered the coffin to be opened. It was crammed with securities and notes worth millions of francs wrapped around bits of concrete. Two undertakers have been charged with trying to smuggle money into France. They were released on £12.000 bail.
