ANOTHER PEARL BRYAN CASE.
The Death of Dora Cushman Brought
About by Her Seducer.

Brlstow, VT. Aug. 16.-The autopsy
on the body of Dora Cushman, the 10
year old girl whose body was found
Sunday, disclosed evidence which
showed how death occurred. It was
concluded that the girl was In delicate
condition.
William Brittell, an intimate friend Of
Smith Davis, who disappeared from
Lincoln yesterday, has been arrested.
Brittell has admitted that Davis told
him of the Cushman girls condition,
and said he had procured some medicine
which would bring her out of the
trouble. 1t was learned further that
Brittell acted as messenger between
Davis and the girl, telling the latter
that Davis had the medicine and that
he would meet her in the woods and
give 1t to her.
1t is thought that the girl went to
the appointed place and took the dose,
which proved fatal, and Davis fled when
he saw the effect of 1t. The authorities
have traced him as far as Rutland, VT,
where he bought Il ticket for Man
