Boston, Oct 24.-Removed today
from the grave in the cemetery at Hy-
annis, the body of Avis Linnell, for
whose death by poisoning Rev. c. V.
T. Richeson of Cambridge, is held re-
sponsible, was brought back to Boston
tonight by order of District Attorney
Pellettier. Uncertainty on the part of
the prosecution as to the exact man
ner in which the girl met her death
was reported unofficially as the reason
for the sudden move, and the an
nouncement by the district attorney s
Office that the state had enlisted five
medical and legal experts gave strength
to this report.
The officials will also search Miss
LinnelTs bathrobe, which was buried
with the body, for anything which
might have been used as receptacle
for the fatal powder she took. 1t Is
understood an examination of the body
will be made tomorrow morning, with
only the states experts present.
In preparation for special sessions OF
the Norfolk grand jury next Thursday
when the case will be called, District
Attorney Pellettier today went over
the evidence In hand, and Mr.. Richie
sons attorneys continued their work
in establishing their clients case, trial
of which is expected in January.
With ample financial backing they
will contest the case against the ac-
cused upon every ground known tc
medico-legal Jurisprudence
Report of the analysis of the gir1
victims stomach by Prof. Whitney OF
the Harvard Medical School, is being
eagerly awaited. The quality and
quantity of cyanide taken, compared
with that alleged to have been pur-
chased by Richeson in Newton Center
is expected to have great bearing.

BY Associated Press.

Glencoe, MINI. oct. 24.--When Il es-
ident Taft returns to Washington next
month not the least of his labors will
be the filing of judicial vacancies
which have arisen since the adjourn
ment OF congress in August. There is
practically no chance now that q sue
cessor OF the late Justice Harlan will
be selected by the president until he
reaches Washington. Mr.. Taft has re-
ceived many suggestions as to filing
the vacancy and many names, includ-
ing those of Attorney General Wicker
sham and Solicitor General Lehman
have been mentioned. In addition to
appointing a justice of the supreme
court Mr.. Taft will probably fill this
winter existing vacancies in New
York, Montana and Wisconsin dis
tricts, and also successor to United
States Circuit Judge Grosscup of Chi
cago. Sci.
Glencoe was the first stop on the
presidential schedule today. Between
this town and Minneapolis. where the
president spends the night, his trair

commission
T. q N. AND sEABoARD FILE AN
I sWER TO MAk2A.-sls BROUGHT
BY RAILROAD COMMISSION AND
DECLARE THAT LATTER WOULD
VIOLATE 14TH AMENDMENT AND
INTERFERE WITH INTERSTATE
COMMERCE.
Special to The journal

Tallahassee, Oct. 24.-The Louisville
6 Nashville and the Seaboard Air Line
railroads today filed their answers to
the alternative writ Of mandamus OF
the supreme court in the matter of the
railroad commissions order relative &c
the discontinuance Of hauling freight
cars on the present mixed train be-
tween Jacksonville and Pensacola.
Their answer carries about the same
objections to such an order as was ad-
vanced by them at the hearing. In ad-
dition to the argument offered at that
time they allege that the enforcement
Of this order would be a violation of
the fourteenth amendment Of the con-
stitution of the United States; that
the order is an interference with inter
state commerce and that the Florida
railroad commission is thus acting be
yond it's jurisdiction in making such
an order.
Counsel for the commission has an
nounced his intention to test the suf-
fciency of the answer by a demurrer.
It is his contention that the answer
does not set up a good defense and the
demurrer will serve to test the suf-
ficiency Of the defense filed by the
railroad companies.

Opelousas, La, Oct 24.-The trial OF
Mrs. Zee Runge McRee for the murder
of Allen Garland was halted this ar
ternoon by sensational charges filed
with the court against Sheriff Swords,
alleging he had been aided by the de-
tense IN selecting the talesmen. The
charge was made by District Attorney
Dubuisson, who asked the court to dis
miss the entire special venire Of 15O
men summoned for Jury service. The
hearing of the charges against the
sheriff Is set for tomorrow morning.
THE PRISONER CALM.
The calm demeanor of the prisoner
excited comment among the spectators
who packed the old court building.
without the slightest trace of emotion
Mrs. McRee exhibited keen interest
In examination of each talesman and
frequently turned to her husband or
counsel with a whispered suggestion
or chatted with her husband and otner
relatives who surrounded her.
In the lapel of the prisoners tailor
made suit is pin of the Eastern Star,

and not one of the talesmen examined
was overlooked by Mr.. Dubuisson In
putting the question: Are you Ma
SOM 1t happened that not one of
the seventeen talesmen examined yes
terday was a member of the Masonic
order, but the state made II plain tnat
any such will be challenged for cause.
total OF 80 witnesses are on hand,
so of them summoned by the defense,
principally to testify to the good char-
acter Of the accused. 1t Is problemati-
cal whether these character witnesses
will be called, for the prosecution has
declined to indicate whether any of
the sensational street stories involving
Mrs. McRee are to be given to the
Jurors.
Politics have been injected Into the
c4aae to some extent through the opp0-
slfson OF the Garland family to the re-
election OF Sheriff Swords. This po-
litlcal contest has led to some criticism
by the Garlands OF Sheriff Swords g
methods OF sunmoning veniremen and
more or less bitter feeling between the
two factions has been engendered. BY
every means possible the citizens OF
Opeiousas and this parish are trying
to avoid jury service on the case.
When court convened this morning
Attorney John Lewis, OF counsel for
the defense, made this statement:
Sheriff Swords informs me, your
honor, that never before In his expe-
rience has ne had such difficulty IN
securing Jurors to try case. He told
me men he sought hid from him and
and ran away from him; that they hid
in their stores or in their residences
in order to avoid service"
Counsel for both the state and the
defense agreed that jury could not
be secured. before the end of today's
session and Judge Pavy dismissed an
witnesses until Wednesday morning.

graduate of the Indiana College OF
Medicine
The police put aside the theory Of
suicide when they examined Dr.
Knabe's body and saw that though the
throat had been slashed there was no
blood on the dead woman's hands and
when no knife was found In the room.
She was in her night gown
Reports OF DR. Knabe's death were

quarters this afternoon to be ques-
toned as to his whereabouts at diff
