Nantucket, Mass, Feb. 1.-THE

bound from Rockland to New York
witha cargo of lime Her captain. VIM.
3. Paris. arrived in town, this after
neon, after a rough trip through the
floating ice in the sound.
He stated that the Winnegance left
Boston, Feb. s, having put in there on
account of rough weather. The schoon-
er had heavy weather around the cape
and on the 10th ran into a large ice
field between the Pollock Rip and
Shoyelfuls Iightships. The cold wave
Of the nth nipped her in the ice and
the east tide carried her past the
Handkerchiefs across the Cross Rip,
but she managed to get clear of the ice
on the 18th anchoring in seven fathoms
of water. The severe nOrther, how
ever, was too much for her and al
though 80 fathoms of cable was payed
out and her small anchoriiwas also
thrown aver. neither would hold. and,
after drifting about the sound, all day
Sunday, she finally brought up on
Sw.ile, island, Monday afternoon.

THE AUTOPSY.
Three Bullet Wounds Found In Mamie Small's
Body-One Pierced Her Heart.

Gardiner, Me-, Feb. r19.-(SpeciaD.-The
autopsy which had been POSTPONED from
the night of the murder until the follow
ing morning was held at Wardsworfh' 5
undertaking rooms. Saturday forenoon.
and was conducted by Drs. Giddings and
Strout in the presence of Coroner Hill
dreth and Undertakers Wordsworth of
this city, and Flagg of Richmond. who
arrived in Gardiner on the 9.03 train to
assist in preparing the body for burial.
The examination. which was conducted
in thorough manner, showed that three
shots had taken effect. One shot which
is supposed to have been the one fired at
entered near the center of the breast
passed between the ribs. very close to the
breast bone, and lodged in the right lung
The supposed fatal shot it is thought
was not fired until the girl turned to run.
whereupon he brute caught hold of her
with one hand ana discharged the revolt
This bullet passed through the right arm
just above the elbow and entered the
right lung. tearing through and opening
the right yentricle Of the heart. and fin
flesh and ribs. This shot is supposed to
have been quickly followed by the third.
which was shown to have hit one of the
corset springs on the right side, infiicting
an ugly wound.
When questioned if it was thought
probable that she had been conscious
OF course We can not say as to that.
Our opinion. however. would be that the
wounds were sufficient to cause instant
death. and it is doubtful if She moved
after the shots were fired. The ball which
passed through the right lung and pene-
trated the wall of the heart undoubtedly
resulted in instant death. Taken together
with the other two wounds. there is but
little doubt but that death resulted imme-
diately after the shooting
over quart of blood was taken from
the right plural cavity and about pint
from the cavity of the left lung. Two of
the bullets We're quickly found. and the
other one. which was counteracted by the
corset spring, probably dropped to the
ground at the place of the shooting.
Photographs of the wounds have been Sc
cured. which will materially aid in the
trial.
Examination showed Miss Small to
have been a young woman of exception
ally fine physique and was Undoubtedly
enjoying excellent health up to the time
of her death. 1t required over three hours
10 complete the post-mortem exarlina-
ton. which was not finished until abou,
O'clock Saturday afternoon.
The organs We're taken from Miss
Smalfs remains and placed in tightly
sealed glass jars for eXamina ton should
any necessity of an examination arise

Nantes visit to the home OF Repre-
sentative j. S. Maxcy and Lizzie's visit
to Richmond. Mamie had stayed at
Mr.. Maxcy's the previous night with
her sister and had her night robe and
few things in a small hand satchel.
This is what she had gone for when
she was murdered. AS she had Sc
cured employment the day of the muir
der in the shoe factory it was not pos
sible for her to go to her home in
Richmond after the rest of her cloth
ing and for that reason Lizzie went
down for her.
1t has also been reported that Mr.
Maxcy advised Mrs. Knight, wife of
the supposed murderer. to go right
straight to Augusta. This is denied by
Mr.. Maxcy. He said that he told Mrs
knight of the murder and that she
rose and went out and started down
street. She must have passed within
100 feet of where the body of the MUIR
dered girl. her sister lay, but she
never went near it and FASTENED to the
car and went to Augusta.

murder was committed. Saturday

is one of the most daring things which
has occurred in this State and even the
country. The very boldness of the muir
der, if nothing else, leads many to
think that the murder was insane.
After the murder was committed the
murderer is supposed to have started
down across the common and when
near the entrance from Church hill he
jumped the fence for his track were
plainly seen in the snow. He went
down Brunswick avenue and into Capt
Haley's yard through to the Baptist
church. Here tracks are very plain
where somebody came; down over the
bank. He went then to the Universal
list vestry. knight says he did not go
into the vcstry but there are no tracks
leading around the vestry to the tracks
down past Talbot's ice house. The only
tracks are from near u window in the
rear of the Nestry. These tracks from
the vestry lead down past where his
overcoat was found
The letter found in the overcoat is
in the hands of the officers and they
are very quiet about it. 1t is known
that the. letter was from Knight to his
wife. An officer told the Journal that
it was from Knight to his wife but re-
fused to divulge its contents. This re-

the contents shows that it contains
something of great value to the case.
