BURIED WITH CORPSE
WINNING LOTTERY TICKET EXHUMATION SOUGHT LONDON, Dec. 6. The Daily Express’ Paris correspondent asks, “Can a dead man be disturbed in his grave in order that his ■heirs can inherit £12,000?” This problem has arisen because M. Charles Guafrette died just before his ticket drew a 1.000,000 francs lottery prize. M. Guafrette was buried before his heirs remembered that Lis lottery ticket was in his coat pocket. The heirs find that they cannot claim the prize without producing the. ticket, so are demanding that the body be exhumed.
