Was Dena. Lind, the pretty seven

Was the poison self administered oy
intent or through mistake, or was the
girl the victim of a crime?
If. Miss Lind died the victim OF mai

the murderer?
These are the questions that Coroner
Miller and jury will attempt 10 an

contents of the unfortunate young
woman's stomach.
The autopsy performed yesterday
produced probable indications that Miss
Lind was poisoned, The stomach was
greatly -inflamed, but nothing definite
can be known of the cause of death un-
til Dr. REM makes his report.

PRECAUTIONS IN
SHIPPING THE DEAD
DR.. sracken Discussing Importance of
EmhaIminq.

DR.. H. M. Bracken, secretary of the
state board Of health, has been deeply
interested in the proceedings of the Ma
tional Association Of Funeral Directors
at Minneapolis and On Thursday he read
paper before that body on the health
regulations for shipment of corpSeS.
Speaking of this matter yesterday, Mr..
Bracken said:
Health officers are vitality interested
in one branch Of the work of funeral di-
FectorS-the preparation of bodies fer
shipment In this country until about
1896 but little attention was given to
this veryse impor subject, but about
that time the state and provincial boards
of health, the National Association of
Funeral directors and the American AS

gan to- work in harmony, and in 1897

sulations forsth preparation of bodies

are now 7S5 lieenseds enbalrers
in this state, and no person who is not
properly licensed may prepare BODY Tor
shipment stssisrlai3a
In the paper which he read before the
hassecia ton DR. Bracken took the ground
that no person. should sibe licensed in any
state as anrsembalnsefn except. upon a
s thorough examina ton as5to his knowledge
and fitness to-. perform the work; in q
thoroughly sanitary manner. He referred
to3sa complaint recently received from
Ohio that an ,undertaker'ss assistant OF
that state had contracted ergsipelas
from contact with the body of a man who
had died of that disease in Minnesota
and had been shipped to- Ohio under a
certificate that it had been thoroughly
embalmed. DR. Bracken said that had
the work Of embalming been properly done
there could have been no Infection, and
underethe circumstances, he believed the
trouble sto =haveiebeen due partly to the
embalmer and partly to the embalming
fluid used. He placed some. emphasis

$ NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-"Gentleman
George" or Henry w. Brooks. or
George Robinson, who. arrayed in

the evening and robbed houses when
the night was older, confessed today
that since last September he had COM
united thirty nine burglaries.
This American Rallies has no COM
panion to act as foil to his brillian-
cy. but his wife lived with him in ex-
pensive apartments In houses which
he used as a basis for operations. She
is said to be a woman Of excellent
family, who knew nothing of the real
calling of her husband. Where she is
now is a mystery. The police say they
have pledged themselves to give no
clew to her place of abode.
Not the least Of the more than ordi-
nary features of this mans career is
the fact that he disposed Of much Of
his plumber to the United States assay
office in this city. His clothes We're
cut by the best tailors and his linen
and neckwear selected with care. He
referred to himself as a member of
clubs and paid from $50 to $50 a week
for board for himself and wife in
houses in the midst Of one of the
wealthiest sections of the city.
Robinson talked over his affairs with
gan, smoking a cigar which the in
speetor had given to him.
