Plot to Steal Lincoln's Body Told to Ad Club
John Re Weber of Cedar Rapids told the Waterloo Advertising Club at Hotel Russell Lamson about a 1876 plot to remove Abraham Lincoln’s body from its Springfield tomb and rebury it in sand dunes in northern Indiana. The scheme sought to free their leader Ben Boyd from Joliet prison. Secret Service learned of it via an ex-counterfeiter who joined the conspirators. Detectives guarded the monument the night of November 7 but vandals escaped. several men were later arrested in Chicago and sentenced for conspiracy, though grave robbery penalties were weak under Illinois law. Lincoln highway headquarters for Boyd’s counterfeit gang reportedly operated in an old Clinton stone house.
