“DEAD;” OBJECTS TO SPEED

"The Idea of Being Hurried Along” Gave Woman a Most Feeling.” Waterbury, Conn. —Mrs. Elizabeth Tanner, fifty-eight, while being removed from the room where she "died" in an undertaker’s transportation case shocked the attendants the other day with a yell of protest against the rough manner in which they were handling her body, and directed them, by no means mildly, to be more careful. Bhe had been supposed to be dead about two hours and was about to be carried to an operating table to be embalmed. Mrs. Tanner had been all her life somewhat resigned to dying "when her time came," she said when she recovered, but didn’t want to be 'killed or to commit s^ldde. “Why, the very idea of being hurried along so would be amusing if ft didn't give you such a creepy feeling,” she added when told all that had happened.
