She, however, declares that she will not permit the body to be bnired in a pauper's, grave. Coroner Bunnsil is quoted to-day as saying that he believes the dead woman is Minnie Gaston and that he will hold Mrs Hull as witness until the in quest.
 It was announced to-day that 1t would be impossible to hold the body after Saturday and that it will be buried then whether it has been iden- tified or not. As. all clue to the mur- ierer hinges on the identity of the victim it is believed that the burial will prevent solution of the mys- tery.
