- The Recent Exhumation
A Strange Circumstance
Saturday's issue of the Herald contained an account of the exhumation of a body in Hapton Cemetery, when Mrs. Halstead, clogger, of Oxford-road, and others identified it as her son, John Halstead, who recently disappeared from his home in Burnley, and was not seen alive since. It will be remembered that the body was found in the canal near Hapton, and as there was no evidence of identification an open verdict was returned by a coroner's jury, and the body was buried in Hapton Cemetery. The clothes taken from the body were afterwards identified as having belonged to John Halstead, and in consequence of this Mrs. Halstead caused a communication to be sent to the Home Secretary, who in answer to a request consented to the exhumation of the body for the purpose of identification. The body was accordingly exhumed on Wednesday last and identified beyond all doubt as that John Halstead, a peculiar mark on the thigh known to his brother being pointed out. Yesterday morning the following letter was received by Mr. Webster, pawnbroker, of the Cattle Market, Burnley;- "Widnes, September 10. 1883.- Sir, -Will you be so kind as to send the article described on this ticket by parcels post to the following address; John Halstead, care of Joseph Mills, No. 2. Oxford-street, Widnes, and I will pay the postage at Widnes.-Yours, J. Halstead." The article referred to is a shirt which Mr. Webster says was pawned by the John Halstead, who was reported dead, and who, he says, was in the habit of pawning with him. Mrs. Halstead, of Oxford-road, was communicated with, and the letter was shown her, but she stated that it was not the handwriting of her son, John Halstead. She, however, dispatched a telegram to gain some information on the subject. No particular importance is attached to the letter, because it is supposed that the ticket referring to the shirt was either given or sold by John Halstead, and that the person into whose possession it went, on sending for it, signed the name John Halstead, the pawnee, so that Mr. Webster, the pawnbroker, might not be misled in any way.
