Bloomington, Ind, Dec. 25.-This is
Christmas, and at home with the folks.
1t is one Of those damp, sullen days
when the moisture may be wrung from
the atmosphere like a Mexican wash
woman wringing a shirt. There is a
promise Of snow in the north over
Sheeks's hill, and the bare branches Of
the naples are moaning as If death
had occurred in the family Of Mother
Nature The sun-is making desperate
effort to shine through the clouds Of
spoke factory smoke in the south, but
il is such an aenemic sun as compared
with old sport Sol, who smiles over
i Paso all the time until every day
is a Christmas day. The cold up here
has the chill of the tomb in it, and
there is none OF the pep" which makes
winter mornings in FL PasO seem like
a sparkling glass of Shasta water.
Out in the living room the folks are
tiptoeing about, peeping at the pres
ents which are not to be opened until
the little remnant of family circle
is assembled. This Is the edict Of the
Christmas season and must not. be viO-
lated The old mantel is again loaded

IleYe that $500 would put the road in

quently he asked that the road between
Roswell and FL PasO be logged with
a view to sending the tourists around

one OF these can be avoided BY going
oy way Of COXs ranch. Between TuIa-

Boston. Mass, Oct 25. II A sec
ond autopsy was made today upon the
body Of Avis LinneR A search OF
the girls bath robe failed to disclose
a vial containing the poison causing
her death
A third examination viii be made
OF the girls intestines. The Harvard
laboratory was intructed to make
very thorough exa'ninat.on to discov-
er the amount and quality Of OF pois-
on taken. Failure to find the poison
container is a weak point in the po-
lice case against Richeson.
The police think the murderer gave
the girl the poison in gelatine cap
sules, thus accounting for the myster-
ious length Of time that was taken to
kill her. Cyanide is instantaneous in
action. Miss Linnell did not die for
some time after swallowing the med
icine
The autopsy revealed the fact that
the girl died of cyanide of potassium
poisoning, probably in the form OF
powder
