REMOVAL OF HUSBAND'S
BODY REFUSED ACTRESS.
Court of Appeals Grants Permanent
Injunction to Father-in-Law.
Thirty-nine decisions were handed down yesterday by the court of appeals. A case of rather unusual interest was that of Jacob Litteral agaisnt Pauline Litteral, to prevent the defendant from removing the body of her husband, Charles Litteral, from its burying place at Carterville, Jasper county. This case on appeal form the Jasper circuit court, was one in which Jacob Litteral, the father, sought and obtained a permanent injunction to prevent Mrs. Litteral from removing the body. Charles Litteral married the defendant against the wishes of his parents, she being an actress. Later the husband died in New Mexico, while his wife was traveling with an opera troupe in Mexico. She alleges that she was not notified of the death of her husband and seeks to have the body removed from its grave at Carterville to a city to be selected by her. The father, Jacob Litteral, alleges that he paid all the expenses of the funeral and burying of his son and does not want the grave disturbed. In the decision the court holds that while the widow may have been wrongly treated in the way that she was notified of the illness and death of her husand, the grave shall not be disturbed.
