Chicago, Jan. 10.-A post mortem OK
animation OF the body of Nathaniel T.
Moore, son OF James Hobart Moore, the
flnancier. who was found dead In the
resort of Victoria Shaw, 2014 Dearborn
street. was made under the direction Of
Coroner Hoffman today. The inquest
Will be held later and the result of
the post mortem will not be announced
until the inquest.
A coroners jury has been impancled
and examined the body at the Moore
home on Lake Shore drive before ad-
Journing to the Chicago avenue police
station, where the Inquest will be held.
The Shaw woman and another woman,
thought to be Bertha Dorset, who Is
said to have been the last person TO see
Moore alive. are being held at tine police
station and the police Will not allow
any one to see them. The police say
the women arc not under arrest
Coroner Hoffman will take charge
personally into the causes of the death
of Nathaniel F. Moore, the son OF Jas.
Hobart Moore, the leader OF the Rock
Island group of f1nanciers. Mr.. Moore
was found dead in q room in a South
Side resort under somewhat mysterious
circumstances and the news of death
Is said to have been suppressed by
the police for II hours. Mr.. Moore is
said to have died some time yesterday
afternoon.
There are many circumstances In
|ftsonnection with the case that require
explanation" said Coroner HOFFMAN
today. Apparently Mr.. Moore died of
heart disease. but Will not be satis-
fed until my doctors have made a post
mortem examination"
The inquest opened at 10 o'clock at
Mr.. Moore's apartments on Lake Shore
drive.
Mr.. Moore was known as lavish with
money and did not conflne his spend
ing to any one section of the coun-
try. When he was 81 years old In 1905.
he was given check for 500, 900 by his
father.
According to the police Mr.. Moore
reached the house in a taxicab at 2
a. m. Sunday. He had been drinking
and at 8. a. IN. complained that he was
III. Dr. w. F. Murray Is said to have
attended him and later Mr. Moore an
nounced that he was feeling better.
Mr.. Moore continued drinking and
late yesterday afternoon said he was
feeling Ill again. DR.. Murray was again
called and when he, arrived, the police
say. Mr.. Moore was dying. DR.. Mur-
ray worked over MN OUT ne uleo a
short time later. The body was taken
to the Moore homo in a private ambu-
lance. -
The police are said to be working on
the theory that a drug. often used to
keep liberal spenders awake in resorts
SO that they would continue to buy
drinks freely. may have been the cause
OF Mr.. Moore's death. The drug is not
considered to have any serious effect
but some times the application of it has
unexpected results.
Mr. Moore is said TO have given Vic
torla Shaw. the proprietor of the re-
sort, check for s1,5O0 two weeks ago.
The police report that while Moore
had reputation for always carrying
large amounts Of money with him. only
$3.50 was found in his pockets.
