ExneSd moH@,

When Schl4emann was digging at the
supposed site Of Troy he discovered
masses Of silver in the form OF Ak
heads. Cote suggested that these
were intended not for implements, but
for money. Bronze ak heads have also
been discovered in ancient remains,
mingled with metal pieces in the form
OF rings, in such a manner as to sug-
gest that all alike were intended to
serve as money, and the conclusion is
drawn that In ancient times the metal
ak head had cone to be a popular
unit Of value fer purposes Of barter.
After 1t had disappeared as actual
money the memory Of it, according TO
this theory, was preserved In the coins
OF TenedOs. which bore the figure OF
an ak head. 1t has been suggested
that the wedge Of gold" which Achan
stole from the spOils Of Jericho and
for the stealing Of which Joshua had
him stoned to death was a specimen
Of the ancient ak head money.-Har-

POISON VIAL IS NOT FOUND
WHEN MISS LiNNELL'S BODY is
EXHUMED.
Police Are At Sea As to What Became
of it-Poison Given In Pow
dered Form.

Boston, Oct. ga second autopsy
was made On the body of Avis Lin
nell, of whose murder Rev. Clarence
Richeson is accused, which developed
the fact hat she died by cyanide of
potassium, presumably taken in DOW.
der form.
At the same time the mystery sur.
rounding her death was deepencd when
a search of the girls bathrobe failed
to disclose any vial or paper which
might have contained the cyanide of
potassium which the medical authori-
ties declare positively caused her
death. The second autopsy was the
third time the girls body has been
examined.
The midnight opening of the casket
was gruesome. Under the glare of the
electric lights in the city mOrgue,
Medical Examiner Neary and DR.. Ken.
bricks, his assistant, tool the bath
robe from the coffin and examined it
carefully. Although they declined to
tell what this disclosed, it was learned
from other sources that no poison CON
tainer was found.
How the girl could have disposed of
the bottle or paper which contained
the cyanide Of potassium is a question
that has completely baffled the police,
and they admit it is a point in their
chain of evidence against DR.. Richeson
that is materially weak. The police
had hoped to find a vial or paper in the
girls bathrobe and to establish that
such a bottle or paper had beer in the
possession of DR.. Richeson. In this
way the police hope to establish posi-
lively that Richeson was the girls
murderer.
In that. however, they were foiled.
The police are, therefore, advancing
a new theory, and that is that the
poison was given to Miss Linnell in
a gelatine capsule. They say the per-
son who gave Miss Linnell the drug
could nave easily emptied a genuine
capsule, refilled it with powdered eva
hide and given it to the girl. This,
they say, would explain the absence Of
a bottle or paper and may account for
the length of time it took the cyanide
TO kill the girl. Cyanide is instantane-
Ously fatal, but the police say it may
have taken the capsule some time to
dissolve after she swallowed it.
Immediately after the second autop-
sy the casket was resealed and the
body shipped back to Hyannis for
burial.
