FROM BURIAL IN QUICK LIME.
Further Theories Regarding the Mys-
ferrous Partisan Tragedy-Lcttcrs
to an Aunt.

PARIS, Nov. 22.-The police officials here
admit that they are making no progress
toward the solution of the mysterious death
of Mrs. Ellen Gore and this fact is strength
ening the theory that the affair was one OF
accident rather than of design This view
is so strong. especially among the members
of the Russian colony, that De Kydzewskis
advocate. Deputy Cruppi to-day announced
his intention of applying to the court on
Monday for the provisional release of the
accused. The authorities are likely to re-
sist this motion. as they are not yet ready
to accept the theory of accident. Consul
General Gowdy also inelines against the
accident theory, but the American officials
will not take an active part in the prosecu-
ton
NJ. Cruppis efforts are due to the interest
which the Russian friends of the accused
have manifested in him, scores of them
having called upon Judge Ganneval to testi-
fly to his good character The callers in
Guided the counselor of the Russian en-
bassy, who is acquainted with the prisoner.
Dr. Merlun, who first arrived upon the
scene of the tragedy. has given out a state
ment which strengthens the advocates of
the accident theory in their belief. He con-
firms the assertion made by DIR. Socquot
that the ball ranged upwards and concludes
that the tragedy was the natural result of
the weapon being discharged accidentally
by fall to the floor. On the other hand,
one of the American officials especially
assigned TO the case says his personal in
spection of Mrs. Cores body showed that
the direction of the bullet was almost paral-
lei with the surface of the earth and that
the point at which the ball emerged from
the. back of the head was hardly half
inch higher than the point at which 1t en-
tbeopv the tb eye This as
tends to strengthen the murder theory.
Letters and kilograms in the possession
of the police show the circumstances of the
meeting on the day of the tragedy and ex-
Onerate Mrs Gore from the suspicious
which might arise from her presence in De
RydZewski's room. One of the letters
shows that she wished TO see De Rydzew-
ski This he answered by telegraph, say
ing he was suffering from a sore throat and
that 1t was impossible for him to go out.
As result of his inability to leave his
room Mrs. Gore went to him. Some OF the
officials contend that the visit was Of a
business nature, asserting that Mrs. Gore S
remittances had not been received and that
she went TO her musical friend for tenn
porary assistance. This theory is apparent
ly borne out by the statement that a check
for $50, drawn TO the order of Mrs. Gore,
is said to have been found by the police in
this check however, has not been fully es-
tablished owing to the reticence OF the
police.
Consul General Cloudy has received a
cable message from Attorney Butler, OF
Mexico City. asking that Mrs. Cores body
be given kindly burial The consul gen.
erals quick action prevented the following
of the usual custom of burning unclaimed
bodies in lime. He wrote to the morgue
authorities regarding the matter, and the
funeral has been set for Monday. The in
torment will be in the Boulogne Cemetery.
Many artists intend to attend the obsequies.
A cablegram has been received by a
former friend of Mrs, Gore here from a
ter has in his possession a will executed by
Mrs. Gore last December. The details of
| the instrument, however. are not given.
Written antccedents of Mrs. Gore fur
nished to the magistrate state that she had
| lived at various times in San Francisco and
| Los Angeles. Cal, Columbus, o., and Chi
cago The documents also show that Chi
| cago friends induced Mrs. Gore to take up
music a profession.
The examination of De RydzewsN will
be held as soon as the judge shall have re-
ceived the report of the expert armorer
| regarding the course of the wound.
