£12,000 IN A GRAVE.
Relatives Want to Exhume Lottery Ticket. LONDON, December 6. The Paris correspondent of the “Daily Express” asks:—Can a dead man be disturbed in his grave in order that his heirs may inherit £12,000? This problem has arisen because AI. Charles Guafrette died just before his ticket drew a 1.000,000 francs lottery prize. M. Gaufrette was buried before his heirs remembered that the lottery ticket was in his coat p cket They find they cannot claim the prize without producing the ticket, so they are demanding that the body shall be exhumed.
