physicians having any riEhi or yoic'
| Ia making the report, and he prepared The
document without consulting them In any
way. District Attorney Corlthill, on The
other hand, says DR.. Lamb had
NO AUTHORITY
TO act independently of the above named
physicians and the latter announce Their
intention OF publishing another report
which will be the majority report Dr.
Lambs action in thus ignoring the other
physicians was a surprise 10 lhenl ana
District Attorney Corkbtll. Drs. Sewers
and Hartiean affirm that DR.. Lambs report
disagrees IN many importHnt
points with notes taken by
them aud by other physicians present at
the post mortem, but DR.. Lamb has posses
sion of these notes and declines 10 permit
the other surgeons 10 see them. The latter
accordingly will prepare their report from
duplicate notes and other memoranda ana
from memory. DR., Lamb in his report
states thnt " " uldue III HNoui uuinS "''' I"
request from Rev DR.. Hicks. The report
i entirely TOO technical to be inteh-
bic to tie general reader, except as
10 the points which have already
been telegriphed, to-wit, that the muscles
f the neck were torn asunder, but the
bone was not broken: that the brain weigh
ed fort, two and one-hulf ounces, and that
the spleen was
ABNoRMALLY LARGE.
A. l.. . Tod; News based
an editorial in which it saws that those who
expected to demonstrate the assassn's
criminal responsibility by the changes IN
his brain will have rather difficult task;
that if they expected to find such changes
in the structure of the brain as attach TO
the organs Of chronic insane persons, they
are certainly disappointed. Some devla-
ton from the tyuically normal BRAN are
referred to in the report, but they have alb,
solutely na Specification from the point OF
view Of mental arrangement. 1t may
brain that it presented as little
evidence of pathological change as the
brain of any one Of his age dying OF some
other than cerebral disease. What may be
disclosed on microscopic investigation,
which is yet to be made remains TO be seen.
Here the opportunities are great Tor uh1
conscious deception and for differences OF
opinion.
ENDORSING REAGAN.
WASHINGTON, July THE house COM
mittee on commerce to-day unanimously
adopted resolutions endorsing Reagan's
retutation of VauVoorhes' recent state
ment in the house concerning the passing
of the bill to regulate Immigration.
AS the result of the consultation between
counsel for the government in the star
route cases upon the recently discovered
important evidence, Colonel Bliss, through
District Attorney Corkhill, filed motion
in the criminal court for
RECoNvENTION OF THE GRAND JURY.
Judge Wylie granted the motion and
issued an order converting the Jury a. III
O'Clock on Monday, tie 10Th instant. The
prosecution have no doubt OF their ability 10
obtain a new indictment. 1t is probable
that the defendants will then be immedi-
atelv arraigned, although they cannot be
tried before the October term OF court
There is much speculation as to the charac-
ter of this new evidence. The testimony Of
Contractor Walsh is said to form {, part OF
it. Among other sensational ru,
mors is one to the, effect
that prominent officials who have
not vet been openly mentioned, will be in
dcted in connection with star-routes frauds.
In the cases now on trial the government
expect to close their evidence upon the
routes within three days, as they have put
| few more witnesses to examine and bug III
tie documentary evidence to present. lt is
probable that the question of admissability
of Rerdell's confession as evidence will
then again arise and legal battle of the
| first magnitude ensue.
EX-SENATOR CREsWELL,
of Maryland, has been selected by the pres
ident as counsel for the government before
the Geneva award commission.
