BULLET ENTERED RIGHT EYE. The Man Held on Suspicion Has Been
 Released-Americans, It Is Said,
 Will Take Further Steps to Detain
 Him.
 Paris, Nov 25.-The independent postmortem examination of the re- mains of Mrs Ellen Gore (who was shot and killed Wednesday last in the apartment of the Russian singer De RydzewskD by the commission of four American doctors appointed by Con suI General Gowdy at the instance or the state department at Washington, was made this morning at the morgue. It tended to establish the fact that Mrs Gore did not commit suicide.
 Paris. Nov 25.-The American doc tors found that the bullet entered the pupil of the right eye, cutting the 4oWer eyeIid. and emerged ii me rear or LLe
  an inch elevation troIn tue point OF entry The body bore no mafAs or struggle and there were no powder marks at the entrance of the wound.
 The doctors have been gwen forty eight hours in which to consult the oIncial report. MT GoWdy, in the mean time. has ordered them not to give any official opinion on the case. He Is seeking to avoid clash with the French experts. The report of the American commission will be restrict ed to the pathology of the wound and the direction of the bullet, with no opinion as to the cause of death.
 The four doctors, Messrs A. J. Mag min, Edward l.. Gros, Turner and Whit men, were present at the examination, as were also Dr Socquet (Who made the autopsy, at the request of the French officials, and NJ. Paquet, repre- senting Mir Gowdy. The body was brought to the ampitneater used for demonstrations before students. pr Socquet explained the course of the first autopsy and the American doc tors carefully made their own inspec- ton, but they made no new incisions. The skull had been sawed in two parts along the course of the wound, which permitted the Americans to make measurements to establish the range of the bullet. It was obvious that the range was not greatly upwards; as at first announced. but was almost paral- Tel with the earth. indicating the the ory that death was caused by an aimed weapon. The expression of such an opinion, however, was care fully avoided by the doctors as their examination was restricted to the course and surroundings of the wound The absence of powder marks at the entrance of the wound was partly ac- counted for by the use of smokeless powder, although the American off, cials insist that suicide would have compelled the holding of the weapon so close to the wound that it would have been somewhat burned. Before the doctors separated they agreed to meet later, compare their views and formulate written report, which Is not expected to be completed before tomorrow.
 The provisional release of De Rydzewski yesterday is considered as establishing the view of the French authorities of the innocence of the Rus sian. but he is still under surveillance and if he attempts to leave this city he will be liable to arrest as fugitive from justice. The American officials do not expect that De RydzewslSi will be further actively prosecuted. all though he will probably be arraigned later on the minor charge of having possession of a revolver and of care lessly participating iii the circum- stances which caused the death of Mrs Gore.
 Mir Gowdy received from the state department this morning a request from Mrs Cores relatives to take DOS session of her effects. Accordingly he took charge of two trunks. good deal of music and little jewelry The ar ticles showed the simple, refined tastes of the deceased.
 The burial place Of the remains of Mrs Gore has been changed to the Bag neux cemetery, owing to it's being un- sectarian. MT Gowdy has leased lot there for five years during which the relatives of the deceased will decide whether they will remove the body to America.
 Officials of the United States consu- late this afternoon attended the seal ing of the body of Mrs Gore in a me fallic casket. MT Gowdy announced that as the American doctors had in- vestigated and their investigation was official, he would SScline to give out the result which will be forwarded to Washington. There is some reason to believe that the American doctors side with the general oDinion that the tragedy was an accident.
