PEcTEp or THE MURDER
OF The GIRL.

DAYTON, o., Dec. 1.-THE report
Of the Eve physicians who performed
the second autopsy on the 'e1humed
body Of Dona Gilman, which was .madc
public yesterday, marked the climax
to highly sensational DAY in the his
tory of this crime.
The autopsy was mde on Sunday
in the cemetery at Germantown, where
the body had been buried. The report
shows that Dona Gilman had been
criminally. assaulted and the exami'
nation of the contents Of the stomach
showed that the last meal she had
eaten was at restaurant, the con.
tents corresponding with the restan'
rant bill Of fare.
This last fact was considered Of SUI
preme Importance by the investigating
officials because upon its substantial
ton hinged the effectiveness OF the
arrest OF the mother and brother Of
the murdered girl and the attempt
thus far Intellectual. to apprehend the
older sister on the direct charge Of
murder The arrest of the sister 10
expected at any moment. The charges
against the members Of the family,
the mother as principal and the
brother and sister as accomplices, was
made by Constable William Heintz-
man, of Cincinnati, in a series Of attl-
davits filed yesterday.
Young Gilman was arraigned late
yesterday afternoon before Magistrate
Wagner. pleaded not guilty to the
charge and was held for trial. Mrs.
Gilman was not placed under arrest,
as she is in the Miami Valley hospital
and is reported to be in serious con
dition.
In their report the autopsy physi-
clans declare at is our joint conclu-
sion that death was caused by strangu-
lation.'

PLicA OF FAMOUS sTRUc.
TuRE At EXPOSITION.

WASHINGTON, Dec 1o.-n Is pro
posed now that instead of leasing
floor space In one Of the buildings at
the jamestown Exposition. the District
Of Columbia shall erect a Building of
its own to house the municipal AMI
commercial exhibits, and that the
building shall be replica OF tho
White House.
A subcommittee of the Joint CON.
mittee Of fifteen, which has in charge
the Washington commercial exhlbir,
met yesterday afternoon in the Offices
Of the Board Of Trade, Star Building.
Chairman Thomas W. Smith. who Wis
| fted Norfolk last week, reported the
exposition officials refuse to lease -four
space for the municipal exhibit in the
Manufactures and Liberal Arts build.
ing, because the exhibits would not
be products of the people Of Washing
ton, but OF what they have for sale.
The subcommittee then decided It
would be better to erect a building.
and will SO report to the full commit
tee.
If the joint committee decides to
put up building at the exposition it
will be built on the plaza with the
state building. At jamestown the best
sites have been given over to the
State structures. With the other
State buildings, the District Build.
ing, If It is decided to erect one, will
be along the beach, fronting HamD.
ton Roads. From it one will have an
unobserved view of Fortress Monroe,
Old Point Comfort, Newport News, and
Hampton Just OF this beach, about
half a mile, is the place where the his
toric engagement between the Merit
mac and Monitor was fought.
After considering the relative MGR
its Of the proposition of leasing floor
space in one of the other buildings. OF
having a special building for the Dis
trict, the members OF the committee
thought the Greater Washington
movement would be given a greater
impetus by the latter. When 1t was
decided to recommend the erection OF
a building, the members Of the com
mittee we're all Of the opinion that
some building, distinctly characteristic
of Washington should be reproduced.
Arlington and the White House were
proposed, but after some discussion
the White House was chosen unanl-
mously.
The subcommittee will propose to
the committee of fifteen that the repli.
ca of the White House be erected with
the money which was available for
the leasing Of floor space in the Manu-
features and Liberal Arts building.
This was about $500. The outward
appearance of the Presidential resi-
dence will be reproduced exactly, but
some departures from the plan of the
interior will be necessary on account
of the exhibit.
The members of the subcommittee,
all of whom we're present at yester-
days meeting, are Thomas W. Smith,
R. N. Harper, Monroe Luchs, Arthur
Moses, and Woodwork Clum.
