Lincoln's body lies in a sarcophagus surrounded by state flags and memorial wreaths.
money for a suitable tomb. They contracted
for a plot of ground in downtown Spring
field. On the morning of the funeral, word
came from Mrs. Lincoln, who remained in
Washington in a state of near-shock, for
bidding even temporary interment there.
She demanded that her husband be buried
in nearby Oak Ridge Cemetery.
Instead of obeying the widow's wishes,
the committee placed the body in a tempo
rary vault while they deliberated. Finally,
Mrs. Lincoln threatened that if her late
husband were not buried in Oak Ridge she
would petition Congress to place the re
mains in a vault prepared but never used
for George Washington under the Capitol
dome. After days of bitter debate, the com
mittee finally gave in to the widow.
From 1865 to 1874, when the tomb in Oak
Ridge was completed, Lincoln's body was
moved four times from one temporary vault
to another until it was made secure every
body thought in the permanent tomb.
Two years later, one of the most bizarre
events in American history took place when
three men from Chicago conspired to steal
Lincoln's body. They planned to haul the
body in a sack for reburial in the north
ern Indiana sand dunes!
Except for one hitch, the body snatchers
apparently would have gotten away with it.
The hitch was that one of the trio was an in
former for the United States Secret Service.
As I have pieced it together, here is a
summary of the weird tale:
After the Civil War, counterfeiting of
currency was a thriving business. One
of the most talented engravers of counterfeit
plates, Ben Boyd, was arrested in October,
1875, and sentenced to 10 years. One of his
accomplices, Jack Hughes of Chicago, also
was arrested and released on bond.
The head of the Secret Service in Chi
cago, Patrick D. Tyrrell, assigned one of his
operatives, Lewis Swegles, to win the trust
of Hughes in an attempt to trap other coun
terfeiters. Swegles befriended Hughes and
got an introduction to the "boss," Terrence
'Mullins. Hughes and Mullins then offered
Swegles a part in a fantastic scheme to steal
the body of Abraham Lincoln and hold it
for ransom of $200,000 plus the release of
their engraver, Ben Boyd. Secret Service-
Familii Weekly, April 10, 19(0
man Tyrrell, astonished at the daring of the
plot, instructed Swegles to join them.
As the plan evolved, Swegles' chief tasks
were to act as a lookout and, after removal
of the body, to drive a cart to the tomb.
He prearranged with Tyrrell that he would
strike a match outside the tomb at the best
moment for catching them red-handed.
At the appointed hour on the dark,
muggy night of Nov. 7, 1876, Tyrrell and
his party were hiding in a room in the
front of the seemingly deserted monument.
They heard the thieves break in and
watched for the flare of Swegles' match.
No flare. They heard hammering against
the marble sarcophagus. Still no flare.
Meanwhile, in the burial chamber,
Swegles had been foiled by a change
in the plan. Instead of standing outside as
lookout, he had been ordered by Mullins
to stay in the rear of the burial chamber
to hold a lantern. After great labor, Hughes
and Mullins opened the sarcophagus, ex
posing the coffin. Mullins finally dispatched
Swegles to bring up the cart.
Swegles circled the monument while
Mullins and Hughes withdrew and hid near
an oak tree about 100 feet away, awaiting
the cart. When Swegles finally struck his
match, Tyrrell and his men dashed to the
burial chamber. They found it empty and
the sarcophagus dismantled.
From their hiding place, Mullins. and
Hughes saw the lawmen close in. Assuming
Swegles had been captured, Mullins and
Hughes fled the cemetery. A few days later,
however, Swegles tracked them down and
they were arrested.
It is appalling to realize that the only
serious mistake made by the culprits was
their choice of a confederate. Today, Lin
coln's body is in a hermetically sealed cas
ket enclosed in a 27-ton steel-and-concrete
vault 10 feet below the floor of the tomb.
Still, the most frequent question I am
asked by visitors is "May we see him?"
One couple, a few months ago, insisted that
friends of theirs had been escorted to the
basement to view the Great Emancipator.
They 1 insisted I accord them the same
privilege.
But Mr. Lincoln's resting place is now to
tally secure even from tourists.
