Paris Dec. 27.-In the greater excitement at
tending the proceedings in the Chamber OF
Deputies, and the revelations compromising so
many well-known men in the Panama Cana'
scandal, sight has been lost, to a certain extent,
Of the autopsy on the body of Baron Reinach,
whose mysterious dcnth has been attributed 10
various causes-apopexy, suicide ana murder
Tie Government having charge OF the examine
ton, it is consequently slow, and ia attended
with great secrecy. Figaro" to-day states, how
ever that il has information to the effect that
Ir ErouHdcl, who had charge of the post mortcm
examination. has reported 10 the Government
that apopexy was not the cause Of the B2rons
death His report, the Figaro" adds, says that
Baron Reinach WAS poisoned. and that the poison
was taken into the stomach eight hours before
death The Fi4aro' further SAYS that the family
OF Baron Reinach are aware OF the contents OF
the report and have demanded that a judicial
INQUIRY be held to prove that the Baron did no,
commit suicide.
The officials Of the Government Pathological
Bureau deny the truth Of the " "FigarOs' story
about the death of Baron Heinsch. They say
that the examination of the organs removed from
ibo R.ron's body will require ar.Jthcr fortnight
~ least.
II has boen more than hinte1 that Baron Rcinach
was put ont Of the way by those who feared that
his eyidc"ce might implicaie them in the scandal.
II it is true that the poison was in his sioin-
ach eight hours before his death there would
be good reason to believe that this terrible charge
against certain men is true. for on tho night oI
the Barons death lie. together with NJ. RouVler
and VI. Clemenceau, attempted 10 secure a ccs'J-
ton Of the newspaper attacks that were pcHG
made npoa him 1t is not at all probable that.
had Barren Reinach contemplated suicide, he would
lave gone to the trouble TO attempt TO stop al
tacks which in n few hours would have been roth

such deep feeling ~ 70 tie result of these at
