GAPoN MYSTERY.
Fate Of Former Priest
Thought TO Be Solved.
B)dy Found Hanging Almost
Positively Identified.
Face Decomposed But Features Resemble
Gapon's-. Clothing Similar.

St. Petersburg, May 13.-The mystery
of the fate of Father Gapon apparently
was cleared up today by the discovery
Of corpse which has almost positively
becn identified as that of the former
priest hanging in the upper chamber
Of lonely villa in the summer suburb
of OZcrki, Finland. The villa was
rented April s for the summer and
deposit paid by an unknown man from
st. Petersburg, who after visiting the
house several times. in company with a
young workman, disappeared April IL,
taking the key with him.
The proprietrcss of the villa. alarmed
at the non-appearance of the tenant,
notified the police, who entered the
house. Breaking down door they
were confronted by a body in long
coat. hanging from a nail. the feet
touching the floor. Decomposition of
the face made positive naturalization
difficult but the features rcsembled
those of Gapon and the clothing cor
responded wit. that worn by the miss
ing labor leader. AS the usual symp-
toms of strangulation were absent. it
is conlectured that the man was Killed
elsewhere and his body brought to the
villa on the night of April 10. This
would agree with the date of the exc
clltiOn of Gapon given in information
of the secret police and with the death
sentence of the former priest as an
no,lnced in recent dispatches from Ber-

he knows instinctively that no harm
