The uses and misuses of the injunction are manifold, but perhaps one of the most unusual purposes for which it has ever been invoked is in a case in Lincoln, Neb. Owing to family complications, a husband and wife separated a few months ago. The husband died, and his parents refused at the funeral to permit the widow to enter the house, and at the church the undertaker, acting under instructions, would not permit the widow to see the face of the corpse. The widow, through counsel, secured an injunction from one of the courts restraining her late husband's parents from preventing her seeing the body or from removing it to Illinois for interment.
