From the Baltimore American, to-day
Drs. l. McLane Tiffany, E. R. Walker and william
Gombel yesterday made post mortem examina-
ton on the remains OF Mr.. John Yoe, No. 40 Park
avenue, who died very suddenly about 12 O'Clock
On Tuesday. Mr. Yoe went to Harrisburg on Mon
day for the purpose it is stated OF collecting some
bills. amounting to $3.50, and took with him large
amount OF money. Mr. Yoe it is believed, collected
the money at Harrisburg, but when his pockets
were examined, after his death, he had but little
money, and his watch was also gone. The post
mortem was very exhaustive, but did not develop
the cause OF death, and 1t being the opinion OF bis
attending PHYSICIANS, Drs Tiffany and Gombel,
that their treatment OF the case was correct, and
that he should have gotten well after few DAYS
and the belief OF Mr.. Yoes family and friends that
he was not only robbed, but drugged to his death,
Coroner Jones yielded to their request. and will
hold an inquest. The stomach, kidneys and intes-
tines were removed and placed In charge OF Prot
p. b. Wilson, chemist, No. a. 2d street, who will
submit them to careruI analysis, and his report
win be presented to the jury sworn in the case at
the northwestern police station on Tuesday night
next. Mr.. Yoe was about 81 years OF age, and
leaves wife and three children. The body was
placed In charge Of Undertaken Andrews, who pre-
pared ii for burial The funeral will probably not
take place until Sunday.
