In this last case it was held that a tomb, although constructed in the form of an elaborate mausoleum and built above the surface of the ground, was not a “building, erection or enclosure,” within the meaning of the criminal statutes defining the crime of burglary in entering a “building, erection or enclosure;” and hence that entering such a tomb and taking therefrom a dead body with its grave-clothes and cerements would not amount to the crime of burglary.
