Philadelphia, Oct 23.-The body Of Doctor
George w Bull. the noted artist and SCI
enlist. who died here suddenly two years
ago. is to be exhumed, by order of the
Coroner. and an analysis OF his stomach
made. Foul play Is limited at. The investiga-
ton is asked for by a relative.
Doctor Bull, who for many years lived
In New York. came to this city several
years ago and married. much to the sur
prise of his friends. charming wife, 70
years of age. He was taken suddenly I'll
in June. 1898. and, in spite of the efforts
OF two physicians, died.
Notwithstanding the fact that reputable
physician at the time Of Doctor Bulls death
said It was due to heart disease. the kins-
men of the dead man declare that poisonous
drugs were mainly responsible for the end
ing of his life.
Doctor Bulls relatives are so positive that
their contention is right that they have
prepared their claims and statements and
given them to the Coroner, confident that
his inquiry will prove their correctness
Doctor bull was buried in Holy Cross Gem
etery. No one doubted that heart disease
had killed him until his widow remarked
a little less than three months later.
1t was found that Mrs. Bull was sole heir
to her husbands fortune. and 1t was consid-
cred strange that she should marry so soon
after he had passed away. At that time the
case was laid before Captain of Detectives
Miller. and he detailed two detectives to
investigate the matter. but they could find
nothing to warrant action by the Coroner.
Thereafter the relatives of Doctor Bull fol-
lowed out the case and have now placed
the result OF their investigation in the
hands OF Coroner Dusen.
The estate left by the artist Is estimated
at sl0o.e)0. 1t is aIlrscI that Doctor Bull
frequently bought poison in the ne'ghbor-
hood where he lived. and the Books of
Druggist Os;erloai are now in the posses
sion OF the Coroner. The analysis. IL is said,
Will be made in a day or Sc, although the
Coroner refuses to say when the body will
