I was shocked to see this on the front page of the daily review today. How could anyone stoop so low?: Pair arrested for attempting to rob grave By C.J. Marshall 07/05/2002 FRANKLIN -- Two men were arrested by state police Wednesday, on accusations they attempted to rob a grave of a woman buried over 100 years ago. According to information filed with District Justice Tim Clark, James E. Lehman, 37, of New Albany and Michael A. Armioia III, 22, of Dushore have each been charged with criminal conspiracy to commit institutional vandalism, and institutional vandalism, both third-degree felonies, as well as criminal conspiracy to commit desecration or sale of venerated objects, and desecration or sale of venerated objects, both second-degree misdemeanors. Both men have been accused of attempting to dig up the grave of Catharine Haunsell in Barclay Cemetery. State police reported being called to Barclay Cemetery on June 23, to investigate a complaint concerning people who had attempted to unearth the buried remains of a human being. When they arrived at the cemetery, state police continued, they observed a hole approximately 4 feet deep and 3 feet wide directly above the burial plot of Catharine Haunsell, who died on Jan. 18, 1882. A mound of dirt was next to the hole, state police said. Continuing their investigation, state police said, they discovered a Chevrolet sedan, which had been abandoned about one-fifth of a mile from the cemetery. Running the vehicle identification number, state police determined the owner's identity and contacted her on June 28. State police said the owner informed them that she had sold the car to Lehman for $50 on June 21. State police said they interviewed Lehman on July 1 concerning what had happened at the grave. State police said Lehman informed them that he was at Barclay Cemetery about a week ago, with his girlfriend and Armioia. Lehman said he was curious to see how deep graves were dug 100 years ago, state police reported, so they all agreed to dig up a grave to find out. Lehman said they all attempted to dig up a grave, state police reported, and estimated they dug a hole 3 feet deep in the process. Later that day, state police continued, they interviewed Armioia concerning what had occurred. Armioia said he, Lehman and the other person had agreed to go to Barclay Cemetery to dig up a grave because they thought they could find some jewelry or other valuable items with the buried remains, state police reported. Armioia also said that if they found any such items they intended to sell them, state police reported. Both men were arraigned before Judge Clark, who ordered them incarcerated in Bradford County Prison in lieu of $5,000 bail, each. The preliminary hearing for the two men has been scheduled for July 12.
