The Mysterious Death.

Jeffersonville, Ind.-The following
facts have been ascertained regarding
the case of Newell G. Rathbun, whose
alleged sudden and mysterious death
here is being investigated by life in
surance representatives and the au-
thorities at Little Rock, Ark.
Two men who registered as William
Ten Eyke, of Watertown, n. Y. and
Newell C. Rathbun, entered their
names at a hotel last Wednesday
night. On Thursday the man who
registered as Rathbun was found dead
N bed. The Coroner says that the
post-mortem examination showed
laudanum enough in the mans stom-
ach to have killed two men. The YER
dict of the Coroner's jury, it is said,
will be that death was caused by
morphine poisoning. The man who
had registered as William Ten Eyke
had left the hotel when the dead body
was found.
The supposed Rathbun was helpless
ly intoxicated, it is said. when he re-
turned to the hotel Wednesday night
The man who registered as Rathbun
was very shabbily dressed. Neither of
the men was known to any one in the
hotel.
