The remains were in tered at Dora, Walker county, Ala bama. Rinaldo Williams. county chem ist. will accompany the coroner to the burial place to make the analysis.
 Coroner Brasher said: The evidence shows that Dr. whaley Is absolutely blameless in the death of Mrs. All bright, as is the druggist. Mir Milner. Dr. Whaley stated that the prescrip- ton he had written was harmless and was intended as a sleeping potion. A physician on the jury also declared the prescription was harmless even if taken in a larger dose than Mrs. All bright is said to have taken.
