in the Fora Burns mystery are but few. The
whole matter is shrouded in almost as much
doubt as ever. Drs Leeds and Miller made a
second examination Of the girls remains.
DR.. Leeds being questioned about the exam
nation, declared that the abdomen had been
taken cut fer the purpose of learning what
she hai eaten Saturday and Sunday, in the
hops that this might furnish clew to her
whereabouts. No signs of an attempt at
criminal malpractice were to befound. Every
organ of the body was perfectly sound ard
healthy The cuts on the girls throat, the
doctor said, were two in number, the longest
lying on the left side Of the neck They seemed
tohaye been made by person standing behind
the girl with large pocket knife in his right
hand. The skull was not fractured, though
an abrasion was found which stunned her.
This had been inflicted with the handle of o
Ratchet or hammer. The condition Of the
stomach showed that she had not eaten any
thing for at least eight hours previous b her
murder, and it is probable that she ate moth
