 Claims were made that the bodies must have been from a nearby potters field, a cemetery for the poor.However, as "Time" noted in February 1968, the cemetery in question was over a mile away from where Murton found the bodies, at least one of which was positively identified as prisoner Joe Jackson, buried by Reuben Johnson on Christmas Eve, 1946.The skeletons were turned over to another arm of state government, the University of Arkansas Medical Center.
