Because the Spellman family plot was in Cleveland, the richest man in America could not bury his own wife without being ambushed at her gravesite.
So he didn't go.
At least, not yet.
He gave the newspaper a tender cover story claiming he could not bear to let her go.
I want to keep her with me as long as I can.
What he actually did was park her casket for four and a half months in a granite mausoleum at the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in New York.
When he finally did move her to Cleveland, he did it as a heist.
On a day of pelting rain, the mausoleum guards were sent down to the cemetery gate on a 25-minute errand to fetch decorative plants.
While they were gone, an undertaker backed up to the vault.
They peeled back the flower-covered pall and lifted Setti's casket out and slid in an empty substitute container in its place.
Finally, they covered the fake box with the original flowers.
The undertaker drove her out of the front gate, hidden inside a plain, rough, unmarked box, and carried her to the railway station and loaded her into a baggage car in the flashes of lightning.
Nobody on the train knew there was even a body.
She rode to Cleveland with the undertaker.
A man who helped arrange the smuggling remember Rockefeller's reaction.
To plan and carry out the removal of the body without the papers or the public discovering a thing was a source of satisfaction to him.
Running right alongside his genuine grief was the satisfaction of a job well done.
He had beaten Ohio, outsmarted the press, and moved the person he loved most across a guarded state line, and not a soul had laid a hand on it.
What waited in Cleveland was small, silent, and secret.
To ensure he wasn't served by the Ohio courts, only a handful of people stood with him at the gravesite at Lakeview Cemetery as SETI was lowered.
