Grave Crimes: Shaking the bones

By Robert Neff In the summer of 1883, the American legation in Seoul was haunted, according to Rose Foote, the ambassador s wife, by a most fascinating history and was invested with the flavor of romance. There were proud, surviving interests in the gruesome tales of its valiant decapitated Mins, who even now in unquestionable shape, periodically stalked about the premises. These tales were especially popular with the Korean servants who gave gloomy recitals [of] skulls and headless skeletons which had missed honorable burial [and] had been turned up in the gardens. Korean bones had an uncanny way of showing up in unexpected places. In the summer of 1890, Korean bones were discovered being shipped to Japan by Murakami Shizoku, a leather merchant. He declared them to be salted vegetables but an examination proved them to be human bones. It is unclear why he was importing bones but for his crime he was fined $150.
