A sensation has been created in
Dayton, Ohio, by the discovery of the
fact that Miss Hockwalt, a young lady
of high social connections, who was sup¬
posed to have died suddenly on Jan. 10,
was buried alive, A local paper says : —
The terrible truth was discovered a few
days ago, and since then it has been the
talk of the city. The circumstance of
Miss Hockwalt's death was peculiar. It
occurred on the morning of themarriage
of her brother to Miss Emma Sell wind
at Emanuel's Church. Shortly before
6 for o’clock the nuptials the young and had lady was ‘dressing into
gone the
kitchen. A few moments afterward she
was found sitting on a chair with her
head leaning against a wall and appar¬
ently lifeless. Medical aid was sum¬
moned in, Dr. Jewett who, after ex
amination, pronounced her dead. Mass
was being read at the time in Emanuel's
Church, and it was proposed to
the wedding, but Father Hahne thought
best to continue, and the marriage was
performed examination in gloom. showed that
The Anna
was of excitable temperament, nervous,
and affected with sympathetic palpita¬
tion of the heart. Dr. Jewett thought
this was the cause of her supposed
death. On the following day the lady
was interred in the Woodland. The
friends of Miss Hockwalt were unable
to forget the terrible impression and '
several ladies observed that her eyes
bore a remarkably natural color and
could net dispel an idea that she was not
dead. They conveyed their opinion to
Annie’s parents and the thought preyed
upon them so that the body was taken
from the grave. It was stated that when
the coffin was opened it et as discovered
that the supposed inanimate body hail
turned upon its right side. The hair
had been torn out in handfuls and the
flesh had been bitten from the fingers.
The body was reinterred and efforts
made to suppress the facts, but there
are those who state that they saw the
body, and know the facts to be aa Mr- '
rated.
