 CASE OF SUICIDE

 tim of Poisoning.

Boston. oct 17.-Because of an of fcial report made today by Medical Examiner Leary, that Miss Avis Lin hell. young music student. who died last Saturday at the Young Women $ Christian association lodging house on Wsrrcnton street of cyanide of potas Fium poisoning, did not take the poison with suicidal intent the police nave been asked by the district attorney to investigate the case. and to ascertain hetaer the young woman obtained the poison herself or received it from some one else.
 After the body of the girl was found fin her room and the medical examiner had made a hasty examination. it was announced that she had taken her own life. Further inVestiga tion by the police was followed by the statemen mt that the cause of the supposed suicide was probably disappointment over a love affair.

The medical exa miner says that the young woman took small quantity of the poison. but in his opinion she did so in order 10 obtain it's effect as med fcinc. The poison was taken from a small white paper such as druggists use in preparing prescriptions for pow ders and the drug was 25 minutes in bringing about death, according to the opinion of rr. Leary.
