1 CORPSE INST'
KNEW IDE LI.
By F. A. MITCH EL.
:CopyrtKM. 19?, by American lYni Asso
ciation.)
David Wakefield was known In that
fur westerly region he Inhabited for
having a* many Uvea as a cat Thrice
be was left for dead after alter
cations. and four times In Illness the
doctors save him up. Once he tum
bled off a cliff a hundred feet high,
was caught on the Umhs of a tree and
landed on his feet without a scratch.
But now Wakefield was dead. There
had been altogether too much shoot
lug In Paradise, and the |>eople re
solved to stop It. WakefioM was. the
next \n.an to shoot some one, and the
committee, wishing to make an exam
ple of him and fearing that If they
looked Into the matter they might run
against a case of self defense or some
thing of the kind, though tbey gave
him a trial, did not take the trouble to
summon witnesses for the defense.
But. being law abiding men. they were
very jvarticular that the conrt routine
should be oKserved even to asking the
cutprtt if be bad anything to say why
sentence should not be passed upon
him. He replied that he bad been a
lawyer in the better days and could
clear himself, but what he wanted was
rest In the grave.
And so he passed oat. He was
?"hanged by the neck until he was
dead." and patters were on flle to show
that he was physically and legally a
corpne. The case would have been for
ever closed had not a jtMing doctor
who had reversed the usual course by
beginning practice and studying after
ward stolen blm from his grave.
Wakefield eame to life in a warm
room, espied a bottle, stimulated him
self ami when the doctor came back
to cut him up was .hist setting the
glass down on a table.
Wakefield, being "flat broke." offered
for $100 to refrain from Informing of
the doctor's breach of the law. The
doctor refused the offer, and Wakefield
sued him for Interfering with his law
fnl sepuleher. Since Wakefield was le
gally dead the committee did not see
how they could deprive him of life
But they granted him a trial of his
stilt against the doctor, in which the
claimant laid the damages at $1,000
Al>out that time a lawyer came from
an east em law school and hung out
his shingle. The doctor retained him
Wakefield stated his case In court thus:
"Tour honor. I am legally a corpse,
and this case must be tried on such
grounds IVath. according to the law,
separates a man from all his earthly
possessions except his body. It is a
maxim of commou law that there can
be no property In a corpse? that Is. no
one living can own It. My corpse Is
my own property"? ?
"I claim." Interrupted the opposing
counsel, "that the plaintiff Is Wake
field's ghost. Since he places his case
on technicalities I will do the same.
Let him prove that he Is not a disem
bodied spirit."
"It Is not necessary," replied the
plaintiff. ??The law takes no cognl
*anee of ghosts. When a man Is dead -
the law says that he shall stay dead.
His apparition has no standing In
court, though his body has.
"It ts the duty of the common law."
the claimant went on. "to protect the
"repose of the dead.' The law holds
that the corpse, being the o#nor of It
self before death, possesses certain
rights over Itself after It becomes
de?d. KW} corpse has the Inalienable
r Ik lit to six feet of ground to l>e burled
In and the right of being burled. The j
law holds the owner of the premises
on which a man dies responsible for
his burial. This corpse died on grounds
under the jurisdiction of the courts.
The courts burled It. ami the courts
are responsible for its being left un
touched In Its grave."
"Your honor." Interrupted opposing
counsel, "the law gives no civil rem
edy for the stealing of a body, for there
Is no property right In n corpse to give
any one a right to recover In a court
for violation of sepulcher."
"The learned counsel." pursued the
claimant, "should Insert the word liv
ing.' I admit that no living person
has a right to recover for violation of
sepulcher. That right Is vested In the
corpse. Rut In previous cases the corpse
has not wine Into court to claim Its
rights. A civil action may be brought
for breaking and entering a place j
where the body Is bulled, the same
constituting a trespass, for which
damages can be recovered. The law
has often interfered to protect the
rights of us corpses. Ami as no one
can own any body except his own no
one can remove a l>ody without the
court's permission, which can only be
granted In Itehalf of the body Itself.
"Having shown your honor that the
defendant Is only accountable to m?,
a corpse, and that he has willfully In
terfered with my rest In the grave, has
brought me bock to a life that Is Irk
some to me. I ask that he be com
manded by the court to pay me the
damages claimed."
The Judge looked at the defendant's
counsel, but he was so da*ed by the
remarkable legal knowledge on the
part of a corpse that he could not
think of a single argument In rebuttal.
He collapsed
At this point a stranger In those
parts nrose and said to his honor:
"I am Judge Tatlerton of the su
preme court of ? and traveling In
your county. Permit me to say thatN
the points stated by the plaintiff nre
legally correct In every particular."
"Judgment for the plaintiff," said
the Judge, "*nd be sure to enter It In
favor of the corpse of David Wake
(leJd, together with costs."
SIHLIIG !H STORES,
The Ingenuity That Is Shown by
the Woman Thief.
TRICKS OF THE SHOPLIFTER.
The Satchel With a F.ilte Bittern and
the Slit In the Dretw Near the Celt.
Some Scheme* Successful Because of
Their Vary Simplicity.
As numerous as they are ingenious
are the tricks of the modern shoplift
ers, declare store di-teetlves. It Iteens
the detectives busy to "get on" to the
devices of .the men and women wlio
Uvc by their wits hi stealing ftvm
atores. 1-Vr tricks that jtt>- canny few
classes of criminals. It Is wild, ap
proach them.
The method of stealing by mine tlie
satchel with a false N>itoni Is t?no of
the cleverest of the tricks.
Well discnlsed. the shoplifter enters
a store. Her eyes run over the coun
ters. She perceives the object she
wants -usually something small and
valuable, sometimes n purse a custom
er has left lytnc on the counter.
Over the object the shoplifter placc*
her satchel. Pretending to delve intc
the satchel to extract a purse or hand
kerchief. the tfiicf lifts a false bottom
in the 1ms. reach** uider It, draws in
side the desired article, adjusts the
false bottom, closes the satchel and
walks away.
'?Hut this is only one of many elever
ruses employed." declared a detective
the other day. "The women capecMly
are Ingenious. Their dress of course,
helps them.
"One of the iwinws or stealing is
for the shoplifter to have a slit I" her
dress near the holt. As she stands near
the counter she can deftly seise the
article desired, he it a piece of lace
or costly fabric or a hit of jewelry,
ami slip It Into the skirt. The folds of
the skirt are voluminous and conceal
the thine stolen.
"Some tricks ;iro successful becawv
of their simplicity. A fashionably
dressed woman may walk into tin
clothing deparl nx-nt, look over coat
suits, pick up one, fold it neatly up,
place It under her coat and walk
away.
"if she Is detected she will indie
nantly declarc that she bought the suit
some time before and that she hat
brought It back to l<r altered.
"Or a woman, her hauds glittering
with rings and dresseil In the latent
stvlc. may walk Into tU>- s. re som<
winter day She wears only a rlcfc
cimt of dark fabric
"In the coat d? imrtment she will ask
to see some fur lined coats. Oh, she Is
very particular and tries on one after
another. Other customers ivmc up. and
the saleslady gets busy with then:
while madam is trying to suit herself.
-While the sileshuly is turned sin
puts on one of the richest sable trim
med coats, turns on her heel and
walks away. Perhaps the salesgirl
may not notice the loss until there Is
au account of stock.
"Each month from fifty to sixty ar
rests are made In the average large
department store. The detectives must
be extremely careful, for a false chaii.-i
would precipitate a suit for damage*,
which would mean many thousands.
"Certain department* hold especial
lures for shoplifters. The jewelry de
part men t Is Invariably guarded. \\Ti?ti
the furs come In we have slcntlis who
keep their eyes open for the woman
who likes to take a fur to the window
to examine It. then running for the
door; the woman with the flalso skirt
and the woman who puts a fur on and
audaciously walks away."
Although the sales departments and
the detective departments work to
gether. there exists between them a
spirit of Justifiable rivalry. If a de
tective involves some one getting
away with goods It casts discredit on
the person Itehind the counter from
which the goods were stolen. There
fotv the sales folk keep an alert watch
for shoplifters.
One might Imagine that oxnls arc
dumped pel I moll on the counters of
the big stores. As a matter of fact, the
efliclent saleslady will have everything
so arranged that she will notice the
disappearance of an article almost im
mediately.
If a saleswoman suspects a person
she Immediately notifies the head de
tective. If It Is a woman, a woman
detective is usually put on the Job. It
Is said store managers usually find
women more efll? lent than men,
Kow arrests an* ever made In the
stores, ns an arrest gives only unde
sirable publicity. The detective usual
ly follows suspected i>ersons from the
store and arrests him or her outside.
It is said that arrests for shoplifting
In New York (Send .t.'HM a year, la j
that city a full description of all shop
lifters cnught are sent to the ItctaR
Dry Goods association, which in tnrr
distributes the Information to the va
rious members.
Only by concerted action nnd with
highly organlxed staffs of detectives
can the stores co)h> with the Ingenious
shoplifters.
The detective system of the big '
stores, however. Is now so perfect
that It Is danecrous to attempt shop
lifting. Kvon the cleverest shoplifter
faces a long Jail term In the pursuit of
her nefarious work.
More than that. If a shoplifter for
any reason shonld escape paying the
l*enalty of crime In one city she may
not bo so fortunate In another. IV
scrlptlons of all suspected ivrsons are ;
sent out broadcast, nnd arrest in an- j
other city may moan a jail term, even
though the thief may have escaped
punishment previously. - Philadelphia
