MYSTERY UNsoLvED.
William Flynn Was Killed by a Blow
ON the Head, hut There Ii No
Further Clue.

Manchcstcr, May 24.--Thc mystery
which surrounds the death of William
Flynn. whose body was found two
weeks ago on a ledge OF rocks below
the falls at Manchester Center, seems
farther from solution than it appeared
before the hearing which. rather than
discovering the culprit, tended to clear
the man on whom suspicion had fallen.
That it is a clear case of foul play is
evident from the position and char
actcr Of the wounds on the head, the
ono deep cash and tho other n
crushing OF tho check bone, and the
position in which the body was found.
too far out in the stream for man to
jump or fall. The post mortom show
ed there was no water in the lungs.
and that death was due to a blow on
the head. administered in some un-
known manner. The authorities are
still at work on tho case.

Morton May Leave Cabinet by the
First of JUIy,

Washington, May 22.-Because of
tempting offers from railroads Paul
Morton, secretary Of the navy, has de
cided to hurry his departure. from Off
cial life in Washington. He wants to
get out by July l or not later than
Sept. and President Roosevelt has
consented to this arrangement, the alb
solute date of Secretary Morton's re-
tirement from the cabinet depending
upon how soon a successor can be de.
cided upon.
Secretary Morton told friend dur
ing the day that he had offers from the
Wabash and the Santa Fe to take the
presidency of these roads. He looks
upon the proposition to go back to the
Atchison with most favor and will in
all probability decide to become Presi-
dent Kipley's successor.
