the Gore Case.
paris. Nov. 22.-The police officials
here admit that they are making no
,rogress toward the solution of the
MYSTERIOUS death of Mrs. Ellen Gore,
and this fact is strengthening the the
orv that the affair was one of accident,
-arher than of design. This view is so
strong, especially among the members
Of the Russian colony. that De Rdy-
7awski's advocate, Deputy Cruppi, to-
5qv announced his intention of apply
inc TO the court on Monday for the
occasional release of the accused. The
authorities are likely to resist this mo-
lion. as they are not yet ready to ac-
cont the theory of accident. Consul
General Gowdy also inclines against
the accident theory, but the American
officials will not taken an active part
in the prosecution.
DR. MerIun, who first arrived upon
the scene of the tragedy, has given out
q statement which strengthens the adj
vocates of the accident theory in their
belief. He confirms the assertion made
nv Dr. Socquot that the ball ranged
inward, and concludes that the trag-
edy was the natural result of the wea-
pom being discharged accidentally by
a fall to the floor.
On the other hand, one of the Amer
lean officials especially assigned to the
case says his personal inspection of
Mrs Cores body showed that the di-
rection of the bullet was almost par
allel with the surface of the earth, and
that the point at which the bullet
emerged at the back of the head is
hardly half an inch higher than the
point at which it entered above the
aOrAiafc o
the French physicians, and tends to
strengthen the murder theory
Letters and kilograms in possession
Of the police show the circumstances
of the meeting on the day of the trag-
edy and exonerate Mrs. Gore from the
suspicious which might arise from her
presence in DeRydzewskis room. One
of the letters show that she wished
to see DeRydzewski. This letter he
answered by telegraph, saying that he
was suffering from a sore throat and
that it was impossible for him to GO
out. AS a result of his inability to
leave his room Mrs. Gore went to him.
Some of the officials contend that the
visit was of business nature, assert
ing that Mrs. Cores remittances had
not been received, and that she went
TO her musical friend for temporary
assistance. This theory is apparent

check for $50, drawn to the order of
Mrs. Gore, is said to have been found
by the police in DeRydzewski's desk.
The existence of this check, however,
has not been fully established, owing
to the reticence of the police.
Consul General Gowdy has re-
ceived a cable message from
Attorney Butler of Mexico City
in regard to the disposition of the
body of Mrs. Ellen Gore, whose death
by shooting occurred Wednesday. Mr..
Butler telegraphed:
Give the most kindly burial to Mrs.
Gore"
Mr.. Gowdy has accordingly arranged
for the funeral to take place Moeday
afternoon. Many artists have express
ed the intention of attending. The re-
mains will be buried in the beautiful
cemetery of Boulogne.
At Mr.. Gowdy's written request the
morgue authorities held the body and
stopped its burial in potter's field yes
terday evening.
