Swallowed tue Diamonds.

A novel suit is to be entered in the
courts of Lincoln, Neb., at its next
sitting, in which one party claims the
right to have post mortem examins-
tion of body made, while the other
opposes it, and defes the first to pro-
ceed with the affair. It seems that q
few years ago Mr.. Warrington, q
well-to-do cattleman of that county,
married second wife, to whom he
presented the jewels, consisting OF
valuable diamonds, belonging to the
first Mrs. Warrington, and which she
had received as part of her marriage
portion from her father, wealthy,
merchant in jewelry in San Francisco.
Warrington dying shortly after his
second venture into matrimony, Mrs.
Warrington kept the diamonds in de-
fance of the family Of her predecessor,
who claimed them as the deceased
wonan's heirs. Suit was brought
against her, but she declared that her
husband had sold them shortly after
they were married, and that she had
no property to make good the loss even
if she were liable for the act of MIR.
Warrington.
This story was not believed by the
first Mrs. Warrington's family, who
maintained that the woman still had
them in her possession, and soon after
her death, which took place some weeks
ago, the nurse who attended her in her
last illness testified that the day she
had died she had her bring box filed
with unset gems, which she deliberate
ly swallowed one by one, passing away
a few minutes after she had gotten the
last one down. The family now wish
to disinter her body and to open it for
the recovery of the diamonds, but her
own people, not crediting the nurses
story, refuse to allow what they con-
slider desecration of the dead.-Phila-
delphia Times.
