Emiliano Chamorro. newly elected Presi-
dent Of Nicaragua. received about 10000

POISON MYSTERY
 STILL BATTLING
 B0ST0N'S POLICE.
Autopsy Fails to Reveal Where Fiancee of Doctor
 Obtained Drugs.

Boston. July 20-Physicians att tending Dr. Wilfred E. Harris, presi- dent of the Massachusetts College of Osteopathy. said today that he had a lighting chance" to recover from bull let wounds inflicted by Elbridge D. Atwood, also an osteipath. Physicians reported that Dr. Harris passed a fairly comfortable night" and that he probably would live unless peril, tonitis or other complications devel- oped.
 While the physicians were exertfng every effort to save the life of the pa- tient. the police were endeavoring to clear up the mystery surrounding the death by poisoning of Dr. Celia Adams, pr. Atwood's flance. few hours before the shooting. The ar- topsy failed to reveal "when, where and under what circumstances his poison was received"
 Dr. Atwood told the police he left Miss Adams about II o'clock Monday night at the Park street subway sta tion and that he first learned the next morning that she had been found un- conscious in her office. T
 It was said today by the police that she regained consciousness for a mo- ment and made several attempts to speak to a physician who asked her if shy had taken poison. She did not reply but nodded her head and point ed a finger across the room. Officials in charge of the investigation do not believe, however, that Miss Adams realized what she was doing. The police also have made further efforts to ascertain if she was alone in her office on Monday night. Analysis of the young woman's organs was being made today by a chemist to determine the nature of the poison that caused her death.
 Dr. Atwood Is in Jail on a charge of attempt to murder although the police announced that in the event of Dr. Harris death the charge will be changed to murder.
 Attorney Edward w. Kenny, of wobvrn, who has been retained by Atwood, in company with the prison er's father. Zoeth W. Atwood. visited his client this morning. Before en- tering the jail he said that he had no personal knowledge of what Att wood had said of the shooting but had read the newspaper reports. He added that he would make state- ment after he had talked with the young man.
