Show A HORHWLE disclosure comes from S.ogodin, Hungary, Tho body of a woman was exhumed for autopsy when it was found that she had been buried alive and had given birth to a child in the coffin. It is a well known fact that the best tried death tests are sometimes deceptive, aud that persons have been buried alive, though physicians contend that the ghastly stories told of people turning over in their graves, or clutch-' ing their hair, or giving other mam-, festations of grim terror, cannot bo true since the victims, if not dead on burial would soon suffocate under the load of earth over them. But tho case of that Szegedin woman, if continued, would show that life may continue in certain cases in the grave long enough to perform per-form even the function of child birth,-and birth,-and if this be true tho demand for safer death tests will become louder than ever.- |
