Result of Autopsy.
After holding an autopsy over she
remains of young Virmillion yesterday
afternoon with the assistance of Dr.
T. c.. OdeH, DR.. II. N Mayo came to
the conclusion that the druggist did
not come to death at his own hands.
The bullet. it was found. had entered
about a quarter of an inch above the
junction of the cheek bone, had Dur-
sued a straight course through the
head and struck the spinal column at
It's junction to the Uranium. The lead
had then bounded back into soft It's
sues. 1t was recovered and found to
have been considerably battered in its
course through the mans head.
DR.. Mayo said last night:
1T would have been almost impos-
sibIe for VirmiIIion to have rired the
bullet into his brain tl.at ended his
life From the fact of the scattered
powder marks ard the course Of the
ball, I should say that a mcn stand
ing at least a yard from NirmNlion
and with the revolver on a range with
the latter's cheek fred The shot Had
the druggist himself pulled the triE-
ger the powder marks would lave been
much closer together. In any event
10 would have been hard for q man
ending his own life to have held the
gun in position to infiict such a
wound

testified before the coroner's jury ear

that he was a man Of TO bad habits
and a man of clean character. He had

Story is Doubted.

The Russian embassy has not been
advised of the Overhauling of the
Comedian, and is inclined TO doubt. if
II occurred, that the SmOlensk was
connected with il. in view OF the s9e-
ctfic instructions issued by the admiral
y at St. Petersburg. So far as official
Information is concerned, the matter
is so hay that it is conceded in both
diplomatic circles and at the foreign
Office that it is desirable to obtain all
the facts before formally raising a
question which may develop into an in

London. Aug. 23.-The foreign Office
has ordered the British officials az
Durham, Natal. to make a COM
plete report concerning the examina-
ton Of the papers Of the British steam

the ground that the steamer was 80 far
away from the scene of hOstiiities that
there was not the slightest reason for
her stoppage.

incident, however, is the identity of
the cruiser. If the SmOlensk actually
