FLOWERS FOR MURDERER

Unknown Hands Keep Flowers on Grave of Leo Thurman
(Special to the Times-Dispatch)
NORFOLK, VA., May 16.-- Considerable interest has been created by the disclosure
of the fact that unknown hands are daily decorating the grave of Leo C. Thurman
in the potter's field of Elmwood Cemetery with flowers. It is declared that on
Memorial Day the grave was literally banked with flowers.

Keeper Proughton declares that he does not know who is keeping the graves
supplied with flowers, but he believes that some woman is responsible. The grave
has a shield number and persons desiring to find it can easily do so by
consulting the register.
