HIS MONEY MISSING.

cal Examiner Munsell of Harwich.
viewed the remains Of Whittemore and
ordered their removal to the local IN
dertaking rooms to await an autopsy.
During the preliminary examination
made by DR.. Munsell, it was found that
all the money Whttemore had collect
ed during the day-probably some $40
of $25-was missing, but his own purse,
containing some change, also his gold
watch and gold ring, had not been dis
turbed.
There are several hoof marks and
wagon tracks in the road, indicating
that the horse and wagon had been
moved forward, backward and side
ways several times.
The position of the body also led to
the belief that the shooting took place
while the young man was in the wagon
and that the body either fell or was
thrown to the place where it was found
in the road.
