Chicago, June 16.- Chloroform, ad-
ministered externally, caused the death
of Mrs G. Jane Cleminson, wife Of

wife's death. No disposition Of his case
has been made. The coroners inquest
will be re-opened today. Yesterday
showed that the chloroform had not
been taken internally. He stated also
that it would be extremely difficult for
a person to commit suicide by an ex-
ternal application Of the poison, as
sleep would come before the second ap-
plication could be made With the
cause of the death determined de-
finitely, the mystery is expected to be
cleared soon.
It Is understood that at the inquest
today Coroner Hoffman will recon-
mend that DR.. Cleminson be held to

der. The inquest will begin in the po-
der. The inquest began in the police
station at Rogers Park at 10 o'clock.

the body Of his wife upon. awakening
in the morning. He first reported to
the police that burglar had ehloro-
formed him and murdered his wife by
the same means. Then he denied this
story and was taken in custody by the
Sheffield avenue police.
On applications OF his attorneys,
who protested that the physician
should not be held unless formal
charges were filed against him, the
case had a preliminary hearing before
Judge Bruggemeyer In the Sheffield
avenue court.
Judge Bruggemeyer continued the
hearing until the coroners inquest, but
announced he would make definite dis
position Of the case on June 10.

quest will be closed today and that
the case will be taken before Judge
Bruggemeyer in the Chicago avenue
court at o'clock tomorrow morning.
When notified at the county jail that
the experts had found evidence Of
chloroform, DIR. Cleminson expressed
no surprise. He called attention to the
fact that he at the; first had said
chloroform could bs smelled in the
room where his wife died.
Captain Kane said the findings Of
the experts provided the police with
additional valuable information, which
1t was not deemed advisable to make
