The answer to this question can be found in Chapter
Fourteen of Book the Second. Having heard the testimony of one Roger Cly, who sought to
incriminate Charles Darnay with his evidence, only to be proven to be a liar by Stryver,
we are told that this same Roger Cly dies soon after the trial, and is buried to great
public delight due to his position as a "spy" and the general dislike that the public
have of such people. Note what the text tells us:
At length, a person better informed on the merits
of the case, tumbled against him, and from this person he learned that the funeral was
the funeral of one Roger
Cly.
Of course, this fills
Jerry with excitement, as due to his unofficial job as a Resurrection Man, he is able to
find an opportunity to profit in such a situation, as by digging up the grave of a
recently deceased individual, he can sell the body to a number of different people who
are eager to perform medical research or find some purpose for a dead
corpse.
