April 11, 2006 -- AUBURN, N.Y. - Vandals rampaged through the cemetery that includes the grave of Harriet Tubman, the Underground Railroad leader who led more than 300 slaves to freedom, police said yesterday.
Dozens of gravestones were knocked over, causing at least $15,000 in damage, they said.
Investigators were looking into whether the weekend rampage at Fort Hill Cemetery involved Tubman's grave or that of William Seward, Abraham Lincoln's secretary of state, best known for negotiating the purchase of Alaska.
Fifty to 70 tombstones were knocked over Friday or Saturday. The damage was discovered Saturday night. >>
Annie, this is nasty story. Do you know any thing more?
