RE: The exhumed skull of a would-be assassin, and its long journey home
Good question, Pamela - I've always wondered that myself. When Powell's body was exhumed by Gawler in 1872, it was in a 4' long box - I don't think that this was the gun crate. By that time, the body had decomposed and consisted mainly, to quote the newspaper report, of "bones and dust...."
