Burial will be in the family cemetery at White Oak. century, more than a score of bodies were sealed in a 12-by-20-foot room under what is now Washington Square Park. The grim room was sealed a second time Monday leaving its meaning as much a mystery as ever. The Consolidated Edison which brought the mystery to light, made a slight alteration in the location of a new electrical transformer it was installing in the area.

A power company crew was sinking a shaft for the transformer Friday when workmen encountered a concrete dome. Breaking through the concrete, they discovered a brick and mortar dome under it. When they broke through the brick, they found themselves looking into a brick-walled room full Waynesville, a son of the late James M. and Margaret Hawkins Moody. He was a veteran of World War I.

''The room was whitewashed, dry and odorless," a spokesman for the utility said. "Stairs led upward, as if it had been a cellar, but the stairs had been completely sealed off by the dome. "There were the outlines of coffins the wood had disintegratedand one of the skeletons was lying in or near the outline of a coffin. Other skeletons were piled in a corner." The whole Washington Square area was a city cemetery or "Potter's field" from the 1770's to 1823, and some 2,000 persons, most of them paupers, were buried there In unmarked graves. One speculation was that the bodies sealed in the cellar were those of victims of a plague which struck the city during the 18th century.

City officials offered no clues. The health department merely said the skeletons were not a health hazard and no action would be taken If the workmen repealed the room. To remove and rebury the skeletons, a spokesman said, would require a special order, and a report from an undertaker on the condition of the remains to avoid later legal action by 'irate relatives." So the dome was covered over, the hole was refilled with dirt, and the skeletons were buried again along with the mystery of how they got there and why.
