Mass, to Hold Autopsy.
BOsTON, Aug. 8L-A special from
Catawump to The Herald says: 1t is
rather unusual for four persons in one
family to meet death within a period Of
one month. Yet this occurred in the
case of Mr.. and Mrs. Alden p Davis
and their daughters, Mrs. Irving Alb.
beys and Mrs. Harvey Golden, the lat
ter of Chicago, the deaths taking place
only few weeks ago.
Some one started q rumOr that these
persons, or at least two of them, did not

police force was instructed to conduct
an autopsy on the body of Mrs. Golden,
and Gibbs, an undertaken. exhumed the
body yesterday and an autopsy was held
IN the presence of Examiner Fauncee,
State Detective Whitney, Professor
Whitney and Professor Wood of Har-
ward college.
While Professor Wood had undOubt.
edly been requested by Captain Paul
Gibbs TO attend the autopsy, he was also
present as an expert employed by the
state, and to his custody were Entrusted
the organs of the body for chemical
analysis, This, in the minds of many,
shows that the authorities were looking
for poison. The fact that the Jacin
house, which was the home of the Da-
Wis family, was set on fire four or five
times during the interval between the
death of Mrs Davis and her younger
daughter, is considered as having an
important bearing on the case.
Whether the bodies of Mr.. and Mrs.
Davis are to be exhumed depends on
the result of the autopsy held yesterday.
The result of the autopsy will not be
made known for several days.
