NEW ia VEN, Conn. Jan. 6--One OF

bullet did not reach the brain, but in

brought on apoplexy which caused death.
This Is the view OF one OF the phY-
sicians who assisted in performing the
autopsy. ana is an additional proof need
ed TO show that Edwards did not COM
NIT suicide. The autopsy. which was
performed by DR.. Bartlett the official
medical examiner. was of a most thor
ough character. The body was thor
oughly examined by the physician and
when It was shipped Friday, the right
side or the face alone remained intact.
The bullet entered the upper part Of
the left ear and took an upward course.
The ear was completely blaCkened by
powder showing that the muzzle OF the
revolver was held within a very short
distance of the head OF the sleeping
man. As the calibre OF the pistol was
small. the wound was snall-iust abou.
