Not Buried with Body
of Miss Linnell

BOSTON, Oct. 25.-The vial OF container
in which Miss Avis Lnnell received tho
cyanide OF potassium which caused her
death was not buried with her body. This
possibility which led to the exhumation

was disproved at the examination made
early this morning by Medical Examiner
Timothy Leary.
Following an examination the body was
today sent back to Hyannls and again
buried.
The examination of the body was held
In the early morning at the city hospital
morgue, continuing about an hour and a

reEentatives at the autopsy, which was
supposed TO be held today, were not de-
cided upon yesterday, Judge Murray re-
serving his decision until a. m. today.
Whether this had anything to do with
