The casket was empty, and an Inspec

Conrad child had been opened. Tho
only reason which can be ascribed
for the dastardly crime. Is that the
perpotrator desired to hold the body
for ranscm, and that he placed tho
casket In the nu.st prominent spot
about the cemetery so It would be
seen.
Tho body of the Conrad child were
interred in the cemetery about a year
