A Mystery Concerning
Germans Death.
AUTOPSY WILL BE HELD.
Great Things Now Expected Of the
Business Men-Notes.

The recent death u James Cor ma n is,
his relatives think, surrounded I'm a suffi
cient amount of mystery TO warrant
careful investigation and such has al
ready been begun by those immedi
ately Interested. They claimed that he
was abused and say that there are bruises
upon his head. They claimed to have
obtained sufficient evidence to show to
them that he was drugged ana when
committed To jail was under the influence
of opiates. He had not been on a spree
previous to the time when he was found
at the Pawtucket freight house, and was
In good health when he left home upon
that date. The family are of the opinion
also that II the man could be found
who was with him important
facts would be brought to
light. There Is at present no definite
knowledge OF whom the companion was,
but there is a strong belief that he can be
produced at the proper time. What
German expected to do with the barrel
which he captured, and how he was to
remove IL Is a mystery which has not yet
been solved. The fact that he had an ac-
complice is very evident. Certain parties,
IL j. claimed, have been seen who saw a
team in which was man near the freight
house about the time which German was
supposed TO he there.
Undertaken Phillips, who took charge OF
the remeins, can testify In what condition
tho body was when he received It, and
to TRIBUNE reporter he said that the
remains were now In good condition
but that they were not when he received
them. IL Is well known that German
was healthy man, and was good ath-
lete. He was well known AZ a wrestler
and sprinter. The funeral occurred
this afternoon at 80 o'clock, and the re-
mains were eDtombed at st. Patrick's
cemetery, Valley Falls. The decision of
the Medical Examiner OF Cranston is not
satisfactory to the family who will have
an autopsy performed next week by
Medical Examiner Kelliher, and will then
demand, In all probability, an inquest to
be held oy the proper authorities.
