back next day, but the body was gone, and then I was

asked by Dr Pearse to explain. Of course, when he came

to me,

I said "the body is gone. It is buried" and Dr

Pearse asked me to explain. That is the only case I

Between the hours of 10 to 12, and when the doctor is

finished with the cases, he telephones to the Sanitary

Board all the cases of infectious diseases. Then he

sees to the coffining of the infected bodies, and he

sees them put aboard of the burial barge.

The foreman does?

2281

Yes, and whenever I can afford time, I go there myself.

When a man goes there to view a hody, can he get zo182

permission from the foreman ♬

No. It is done, but the foreman cannot give permission. You must get that from the doctor in charge of the

Mortuary.

Was it not done sometimes, that relatives got

permission of the foreman to view a body, ?

Not so much from the foreman, but from the butchers of

the Mortuary.

Have you ever heard of relatives paying money before

they could view a body ?

What do you call the "butchers" of the Mortuary 9 20 285**** The man who open up the bodies, and get them ready for

examination. That is what they are called.
