.~>' pccted to Tell.

Lib suspicious OF tao boaFuers at the Grand
Central Hotel have been confirmed thero is no
longer any doubt that Mrs. Sarah NJ Hall came
to her death from h,emorrhage, caused by an
abortion or miscarriage. Whether DR.. B. r.
Reynolds, tho attending physician, produced it.
or it was brought about by the individual efforts
OF tho lady herself, is yet to be determined: As
was stated in yesterdays TRIBUNE, the body was
taken to the Morgue by order OF the Coroner
| 1t lay there all Tuesday night, and yesterday
| morning the caaket WIS found to be intact An
outer case of pine preserved the mahogany
coffin from injury, and when the lids we're re-
| moved the spectators were astonished at the
beauty OF the occupant. The flesh had yellow
tint and from tho appearance of the corpse it waa
concluded that very little blood remained in the
arteries and veins. There were about two dozen
people present at half-past 10 o'clock, when the
post mortem examination commenced. Among
them we're Coroner Stephens AIr. Newborry IAN

uncle), Drs. Miller, Emmons, Wadsworth, dre OF
six medical students, and four reporters The
autopsy was careful and thorough; every
vital organ was inspected for
symptoms Of disease, but none we're found.

was similar to That Of Dr. Miller: To establish

This was subsequently undertaken by DR..
