ALL WERE UNDER SUSPICION
Incident Of ELIMINATION Of Body Of
Beethoven,

An interesting communication with
regard to the last examination of the
body of Beethoven, some twenty years
ago, is made in the Neue Fret Presse
by Herr Wilhelm Stiassny, who was
present at the ceremony as a repre-
sentative of the city of Vienna. When
the metal coffin was opened the eyes
of the silent circle of reverent spec
tators who stood around were at once
riveted on the wonderful skull, (which
anybody would have recognized at
the first glance as being that of the
great composer" A doctor who was
present preferred the request to be
allowed to make some genealogical
measurements. After some discussion
this was agreed to. and the coffin was
removed to the cemetery chapel. 1t
was then discovered that a tooth was
missing from the number that had
been counted at the previous disinter-
ment in the sixties. 1t was at first
thought that one of those present had
yielded to the temptation to possess
himself of somewhat grim relic of
the immortal composer and for some
reason or other suspicion fell on "a
highly respected parsonage" 1t was
only when the examination was con-
cluded that the missing tooth was
foun:. in the bottom of the coffin. No
suggestion is made as to whether it
had dropped out of its socket through
the process of decay, or been restored
by guilty hands under the influence
of rGmorse.

A Welshman sued a fellow country

amount of money owing to him. The
