Stanley Sheckles is pretending to be E.S Wylie so as to trap the bad guy. NDEMETER came up with a fake message/puzzle (see Stanley Sheckles thread) - the puzzle is the TOMB puzzle referred to above; the solution of which is the name of a grave that Anton is going to stake out to trap the guy.

Thanks Tallerbird. That's just what I've been doing and still no good. I've done the deciphering numerous times and keep coming up with the answer in the previous spoiler. Am I missing something?
