QUEENSBOROUGH CEMETERY SCANDAL.

“KNOW NOTHING. SEE NOTHING. HEAR NOTHING I” (Received 11.10 a.m.) Hobart, January 29. In connection with the Qu'eensborough cemetery scandal, S. Luckman was fined £5 for removing a body from a grave. The decision was reserved in the second charge of a similar nature. In the latter case, George Young, grave digger, gave evidence that Luckman instructed him to remove two bodies as they were only Quakers. Luckman repeatedly said : “Know nothing; see nothing; hear nothing.” Witness cut through many bodies in order to make the graves deep enough. His wife helped him to carry the coffins because Luckman would not visit the cemetery. Inspector Wadsworth gave evidence that he had seen coffins bearing signs of having been burned and others on the rubbish heap. One grave was opened, and there were three coffins therein instead of five.
