2ND AUTOPSY
IS PERFORMED
Body Of Miss Avis Linnel|
Is Again Examined.
sneciaI op United Press Wire.


Boston, Mass, Oct 25.-A second
autopsy was made today ON the body
of NILS Avis Linnell A search OF
the girls bathrobe failed to disclose
any vial or paper which might have
contained the cyanide of potassium
which the medical authorities de-
clare positively caused her death.
The second autopsy today was the
third time the girls body has been
exas-ined The first was an autopsy
performed after the finding of her
body in the bathroom of the X. w.
O.. A. The second examination OF
her body was made last night, when
the girls coffin, shipped back from
the grave yard at Hyannis, was OPP
ened and the bathrobe searched.
The third examination was made
when the g cond autopsy was per-
formed this morning only after Po-
lice Captain Ainsless Armstrong,
head Of the bureau of criminal in
vestigation, had demanded 1t.
Armstrong asserted emphatically
that he was not satisfied with the
haphazard manner In which the
first autopsy had been made. What
the seconI will al is not yet
known. All the internal organs Of
the girl were removed and probably
will be sent to a laboratory at Har-
ward for q quantitative as well as
qualitative analysis. so that the
chemists may ascertain exactly how
much cyanide she took and of what
grade 1t was
The midnight opening OF the cof-,
fin was gruesome. It was done to
prevent the defense from securing
an injunction this morning. Sew
eral medical experts had been en-
gagged by the district attorney to as
sist in the second autopsy. Imme-
fliately after this second autopsy the
easket was resealed and the body
shipped back to Hyannis for burial.

TotalNumber of Registrations

Election Board Rushed.
GOOD VOTE EXPECTED
Vote in City Last Year Was
1928 One Man Is Refus-
ed Registration.

Despite the fears of the politicians
the voters responded nobly yester-
day, the last registration day, and
boosted the registration figures up
until they now total 4,139 Last
year 1928 legal ballots were cast In
this city. The poll workers will have
their hands full as interest in the
city and county fight this year is ex-
pected to bring out good sized
vote.
In the second district of the first
ward one hundred and two voters
appeared In person and registered
for election day. Last year the
registration In that polling place
was 523, which shows the prevailing
decrease throughout the city. Three
hundred and ninety-nfne votes were
cast In that district last year, Just
two under the number necessary to
redistrict the entire ward. The light
registration and ultimate light vote
on November Will save the city
and county considerable expense, as
the ward will not have to be redis-
tricted next year.
John H. Lehman, of GIL Charles
street, who came to this city from
Illinois last February, is up In arms
against election officers In a district
of the sixth ward because they
would not permit him to register
yesterday. He vigorously complains
against Frank Lacomski, one of the
officers, woh refused to let him regis
ter on the ground that he had not
been here year.
Lehman contends that he does
not have to be resident of this
state and intends to appeal to the
city authorities. He signified inten-
tions today of going before some of
the city officials with his case this
afternoon
AldeTman-at-large William D.
voorhees, says that IL Lehman came
into this state last February he Is
not legally entitled to go on the vot-
ing lists this year. 1t seems Leh-
mann did not want to vote this year.
but simply wanted to be registered
SO that he could vote in the future.
Election officers held that IL he regis
tered this year he could also vote
