 down, the black 6ap was removed and the
 face exposed The features were pallld and
 composed. About the mouth there "*4s con-
 siderable moisture. Aftor the body had beaR
 arranged in the coffin, Warden Crocker as
 ce- led the steps of the scaffold and, address
 ing the crowd, which were kept back from | the scaffold by 8 line of officers, said that
 those who des1red could pass along the side
 of the scaffold and view the body. The | spectators then passed along ln procession,
 viewing the body. John w. Gulteau, who | had stood during the scene just within the I line of officers at the bottom of the steps, ] famed his dead brothers face to keep away the flies. At 1:4O the remains. lnclosed in the coffin, were borne to the chapel, where arrangements were made to let Mrs. Scoville view the body.
 RUMoRED PLOT TO CHEAT THE GALLONS. startling report was put in circulation that the bouquet which Mrs. Scovile sent to Guiteau was saturated with deadly drug There was a difference of opinion in the analysis of the flowers. The final report has not yet been made. It is believed, however, the suspicious of attempted poisoning will not be sustained.
 MRS. sCovILLE AFTER THE EXECUTION. John w. Guiteau has done good deal of talking in public since the execution, saying he is glad it is all over and using other pressions which caused much comment.
 
 after learning that the execution was over. She seems quite overcome by the reaction from the mental and nervous strain of the past few weeks.
 THE AUTOPSY OF THE BODY. Preceding the autopsy Dr. Loring examined the eyes, but found them too much suffused with blood to enable him to form opinion as to their condition or expression: A later examination of the body showed beyond doubt that the neck was broken. The brain was removed at the preliminary autopsy this afternoon by Drs. Lamb Sewers and Harti- gan conclusive examination being deferred ! until this evening at the Army Medical Museum. In addition to the physicians above there were present Drs Young Key
 burn, McDonald Elliott, McKim, Murphy, ] Nichols, Surgeon General Wales of the navy, | Surgeon General Barnes of the army, God l ding, Witner, Patterson of St. Elizabeth's | Asylum, D. C., Patterson, the coroner of the l District, Kleinschmidt. Birdsall and Parish. l pr. Hartigan, the deputy coroner who l made the autopsy, says there was no mani I fest disease of the brain, but peculiar con- l dition of the membranes that would be apt to
 raise doubt in the mind of those who lean toward the insanity theory, although the same I appearances have been found in persons | never suspected of insanity. An abrasion of ! the surface in the line with the rope 1 found. The hyoid bone was found to have 1 been torn from it's attachments. Death was produced by strangulation. The only abnor- nal condition discovered was enlarge l ment of the spleen. There slight 1 fattening of the skull the right side wi.h 8 corresponding prominence beneath. Pho tographs of the convolutions and Assures were taken and microscopical examinations will be made. An official report will be given to the press tomorrow night.
 THE BURIAL OF THE REMAINS. The body of Guteau will be buried pri- | vately tomorrow. The place of burial has not yet been decided upon, but it is expected | that Rev. Mir. Hicks will ask permission to have the remains inferred in the jail under ! the stones in the corridor where the gallows l stands and the government will not object. MT. Hicks is far too much exhausted to at tend to the details to night, but will meet Gulteau's relatives and the warden at the jail 1 to morrow to make the necessary arrange l ments. It is expected the body will be tenn porarily inferred at the jail anyway. Mr. l Reed did not witness the execution. The drop was sprung by George Winters, one of ] the keepers who has been of the watch
 during the past two weeks. It is said he had 1 no objections to performing this duty, gen. | eraily deemed so obnoxious. The warden
 was glad to obtain his services. Deputy l Warden Russ was in the cell with Winters at l the time. The rope was hidden after the < body was cut down and the relic hunters who
 hoped for pieces have been disappointed. 1 Political Assessmsnts-The Matter Dis- l eussed by the sCabtnet-Other Matters. 1 WASHINGTON, June 3O.--At the Cabinet
