following an autopsy on the body OF
Mrs. Margaretta Todd, the rich woman
who was found dead on the Reading
railway tracks near Philadelphia a
week ago. said that the woman could
not possibly have been struck by a
train. He said she could easily have
been killed by some heavy weight
weight falling on her while she was
inert or by pressure OF a knee. The
autopsy showed that ribs had been
fractured. together with the breast
bore. Her clothing, the coroner said,
was not disarranged In the slightest,
but was smooth and neat. Had a train
struck her the coroner said. the cloth
ing of course would have been disar-
ranged and torn.
Coroner Scholer said that each gar
ment of Mrs. TOdd's clothing imme-
diately above the 10 fractured ribs
fitted her smoothly, and that he con
sidered the whole case one OF great
mystery. The vital organs, which viii
be examined for the presence Of pol
sonous drugs, were removed and pre-
pared for further examination.
Coroner Dugan. Of Philadelphia
who was present at the autopsy, said
hat he would empanel coroners

quest would be held there on all the
evidence obtainable. Both coroners'
o~'ces he said would work together on
