Workers shown as they started to exhume the body of Mrs. Eva. Pelletier Roy in Sacred Heart cemetery, Lawrence, today. Exhumation was halted, however, just as the casket was reached, because Andover town clerk refused to give a permit to remove the body unless given such an order by the district attorney. The district attorney's office refused.
