MArrEAwAN, July 23.-It is now believed that
Coroner Bowler will call on Mrs. Clarence Dins-
more, the mistress of tho Dinsmore estate at
Staatsburg. to testify when the Coronsr's jury
meets again to what she knows in regard to the
mysterious death Of Selma Larsen. Mrs. Dins-
more, the Coroner believes, is apparently in DOS
session of information that may cast a little
light on the mystery.
The theory advanced at Poughkeepsie yester-
day that the hole in tho wall Of the girls
stomach was caused by an accident at the
autopsy is laughed at by tho members of the
medical staff Of the Fishkill Hospital. DR.. Teta-
more Of this village, who assisted DR.. Dawson at
the autopsy. said to-day that there was no posi-.
bic chance for the stomach to have been per.
forated by the surgeons knife. He said that the
stomach had been carefully raised and lifted out
by DR.. Dawson with nothing but his hands. and
that there was no possible chance for a hole to
have been made with Il knife. The perforation
in the stomach was first noticed while DR.. Daw-
son was RAISING that organ. Drs. Dawson and
Ietanore still cling to the theory that Selma
Larsen's death was caused by poisoning, al
views. VA" "''
The testimony of two more witnesses is to be
taken when the Coroner,s jury meets: The wit
nesses are Miss Mary c. Leroy of Wappinger's
Falls and Mrs. Elder. wife OF the pastor of the
PRESBYTERIAN church of New Hamburg. Both

is connected with the Larsen case. that he
would remain in New York city until after the
