Otis Hall, Of Sutton, Mass, who was
found dead in his barn on the 18th instant,
Yves buried without any investigation by
the coroner. The body has since been ex-
bumed by the town authorities and an ex-
animation held, which revealed the fact
that his skull had been broken. 1t is now
thought that the man was murdered in Q

where found to avert suspicion. The affair
is still being investigated.
