A reporter of the Springfield Republican visited Egremont, Mass, and gleaned new particulars of the grave-robbing mystery. The case is further than ever from solution, and the story grows more sensational and improb- able. The reporter interviewed Judge Rowley a Selectman of Egremont, and the exeeutor of Miss Estelle Newman's estate pf $T,000. She died of spinal trouble in December, 1878. He first heard the story, purporting to be a con- fession of the dying H. Worth Wright, few days ago.
 Wright belonged to Fgremont and was home on vacatio n when Miss Newman died. She was popular young woman, and Wright at tended the funeral With two or three other | students he took the body of Miss Newman to l West Stockbridge in a sack and thence to | Albany on the night train. The students | prepared to dissect the body, when, to their utter surprise, there were signs of l life, and they succeeded in restoring her. She was insane, and the students did not know l what to do. After consultation, Miss Newman was taken to Bellevue Hospital in New York, where she remained awhile, and was subse- quently taken to the residence of an uncle of one of the students in Schoharie county, New York, where she regained her reason about two years ago. When H. Worth Wright died in Connecticut she read about it. and said she knew Wright, and from that time on her memory came back, and she was fully restored to health, and subsequently married the young physician, nephew of the man in whose care she had been since leaving the hospital. It is added that the couple are now living in New York State and are propos- ing to visit Miss Newman's friends in Berkshire county
 The reporter saw ". r. Crippen, cousin of Miss Newman, who said he wanted the grave opened at once, He said that two-thirds of the people in North Egremont believed that the story was substantially true, and added that he knew of his own personal knowledge that four men drove out of the cemetery just after Miss Newman was buried. It is related that the woman who laid out the body of Miss Newman said that it was warm, and that she was surprised to find the heat from the body so great that she could feel it through the clothes.
 Mrs. Chapel, @ sister of Estelle, and Mrs Newman, their mother, discredited the story The sick woman had been through religious revival and her mind was affected. Her mania took the form of & conviction that it was duty not to eat and she died from starvation, to- gether with spinal complaint Her flesh was 80 wasted away that it was thought impossible that she could have been brought back to life in the strange way reported.
 The current story receives another blow in the statement of ". R. Wright, of Hudson, N Y., who denies that his brother, the late Dr. Wright, ever confessed to him about taking the body of Miss Newman to Albany.
