 The investigation of the members of the Hitler family in the endeavor to probe the mystery surrounding the death of Charles Edwards during Tues day night was continued yesterday aft ternoon by Coroner Mix at his office in Church street and lasted until after midnight. The conference began early in the afternoon with Charles and A. Maxcy Hitler and also Detectives Ward, Daily and Donnelly present. In addition to the two Hitler brothers, former ser want of the Hitler family, Miss Benzo- mas, who is nurse of the family, was also present. The entire proceedings were kept a profound secret, but it was evident from the length of the investi- eation that the matter was being prob- ed deeply.
 It is stated that several persons in offices in the First National bank building across Crown street from the coroner's office during the afternoon session saw Coroner Mix handling re- volver and yielding it in several posi- tions, pointing 1t at his head. It is as sumed that the object was to demon strate the various theories of how the shooting could have occurred. Later the curtains of the office were closely drawn, excluding all prying eyes.
 After the afternoon session had been in progress for a considerable time Charles Hitler was allowed to go with no apparent check upon his freedom. Later the former servant from Bristol left the coroner's office.
 When the coroner adjourned the ses- sion until evening, which was done about 6:9O A. Maxoy Hitler, who still remained in the office, was taken to police headquarters by Detective Ward, where he was locked up during the in- termission. No charge was made against Mir Hitler, and he was not placed under arrest, but was held by order of the coroner as a witness. It is understood that the coroner may so hold witness, although it is an un- usual proceeding.
 When the conference was re-conyen- ed in the evening a carriage was sent for Mrs. A. Maxcy Hitler, who was brought to the coroners office. She was closeted in the office for about two hours or more. About 10 o'clock Mir. Hitler came back accompanied by De- tectives Daily and Donnelly. He seem- ed commposed and cheerful and went into the office smiling. He remained there with the coroner and Deputy Cor oner Pond until after midnight when the investigation was concluded for the day
 Coroner Mix when seen at the close of the session refused absolutely to make any statement concerning the case or to answer any questions what soever When asked whether MT. Hill CT was to be kept under police surveil- lance during the night he refused to make any statement in answer to the question
 MT. Hitler was hurried in the car- riage, which had been kept waiting, and. accompanied by Detectives Don- nelly and Daily, was driven rapidly to his home at 4S9 Temple street, where he was left under police surveillance.
 No information could be obtained as to what had taken place at the confer ence, or what action the coroner had taken. No charge has been made against any person as yet, and al- though Assistant City Attorney Hoyt was present for time at the confer- ence he left before it's conclusion, and stated that no warrant had as yet been issued for the arrest of any person.
 Upon reaching Mr Hiller's home there was a touching scene for a few moments. Mrs. Hitler assured her hus- band that she did not believe anything against hi mat all.
 The autopsy on the body of the dead man was performed yesterday, and @ most minute and thorough one it must have been. The autopsy took place at Burwell's undertaking rooms, where the body has been since Wednesday,. It was begun about 10:30 in the morn ing. and continued with intermissions for meals only until nearly midnight,
