Hearing Lasted Five Hours.
At the close of the hearing at the
Odd Fellows Home, which lasted from
8 until after $ o'clock, Coroner Dunn
said:
I'VE have examined three women
and two girls of the institution. FROM
what we have learned from them | can
say that it certainly does not help their
cases any
1t was strongly intimated that he
meant Mors and Bargert.
The other witnesses called were Mrs.
Barbara Gein. Mrs. Elizabeth Rheme
and Amelia Buonopone. What they
testified TO the Coroner refused to
divulge.
Tho significance in the finding Of the
arsenic is in the fact that II perhaps
will be the only way the officials will
lave o. fully substsntiating the truth
Of the confession Of Mors. Il was by
death al least two Of his supposed VIC
tins. The rest were chloroformed, as
he has said. at the dictation OF Ban
CERT.
Those 10 whom he said he admins
tered arsenic are said to be buried in
The Bronx. This WAS while the home
was at UuioNport. Medical opinion
given on the after result OF these drugs
i agreed that there would be little
chance of determining the truth OF the
causes OF death at this late date where
chloroform was used In the case OF
arsenic. however, traces Of the poison.
they say, remain for an indefinite
period.
Won't Exhume Bodies Now.

being he would not move for all order

nounced after having conference with
Frank J. Fuchs. chairman OF the board
of trustees of the home; Peter kelter,
chairman of the house committee. and
the visiting physician. DR.. Juster, of
1882 CrotOnP Parkway.
The District Attorney refused TO say
whether his talk with the officials had
anything 20 do with his decision not 20
e3.hume the bodies. This does not
mean, however" he said, that the IN
vestigation has been dropped 1t is done
so as not TO put the county 20 any UNI
necessary expense before the evidence

Assistant District Attorney Seymour
Mork. who is making an investigation
in The Bronx for the District Attorney.
said last night that he has requested
that a subpoena be issued for Martha
Hichsmann, Of 237 Seventh Avenue.
"She is wanted" Mr.. Mork explained.
"to tell Of her suspicious in regard TO
the death Of her brother, Albert Neil
SON."
Mr.. Nelson was an inmate of the
home when it was in The Bronx. Ac-
cording to the records he fell down
flight Of stairs. dying as result June
II. His case was diagnosed as fracture
Of the ribs and collar bone and bruises
to his body.
Mr.. Mork said he had talk with
DR.. Juster regarding the issuance Of
death certificates for the inmates OF
the institution. The certificates, so
far as The Bronx was considered, DR..
Juster told MIR. Mork, were only issuea
after he made personal investigation.
District Attorney Weeks O West
chester County said:
81 will not seek an 70 eXhume
any of the bodies until all Of the start
ling statements made by MOrs and the
stories that have been told by the in
mates have been thoroughly inVesti-
gated. II now appears that District At
tornev Martin, in The Bro-X, has the
hest cases. If il develops that this Is
not so, then, of course, we VIII 90
everything we can to f2thom out this
most remarkable case.

Gregory went over the whole story
again with Mors. e was to come here
this afternoon and meet the ofh-ials

DRY did not come, however.
while, of course, it is OF extreme
importance 10 know Of Mors's mental
condition, it will not entirely solve the
problem as to the accuracy OF what
he has said regarding the killings OF
the inmates. The fact that he is IN
