lSnecial to The RepubIican.l

LOS ANGELES. Feb. 1S.-While the police enveloped the case in the deepest mystery today. Coroner Calvin Hart well. at the request of District Attor- nev Thomas Lee Woolwine, ordered the tody of Mrs. Alpha Hughes Carson, sister of R. II. McIlmoil, Phoenix, Ariz, exhumed.
 A search for poison in the dead woman's stomach will be made and a bitter fight for her estate is predicted
 An investigation quietly conducted for several months after Mrs. Carson s death. by her sisters and brothers, was said to have resulted in the demand that the body be exhumed and exam ined for trace of poison.
 However, officials declined at this time to reveal the nature of evidence found or to indicate the supposed mo- tive for the possible killing of the woman.
 It was learned that District Attor- ney WoolYine sent a request to Coro- ner Hart%ell for a medical examina- tion of the body. after receiving a let ter concerning the matter from Attor- ney W. J. Ford.
 Attorney Ford, it was said, explained that he was acting in the matter on behalf of Mrs. Carson's brothers and sisters. whose names were given as follows: Jane x. Foster, of Watts; w. II. McIlmoil, O. Uplan: R. H. McIlmoil, of Phoenix, AriZ., and Mary l.. Mo llmoil; Sarah F.. Walker and Nancy E. Bruce of Los Angeles.

 Immediately she was taken from the house, it was said, and removed to Sierra Madre, where she died a short time later.
 pr. A. F. Wagner, county autopsy surgeon. was instructed to examine the body of Mrs. Carson, although no defi- nite time has as yet been set for the examination.
 IL was said that if Mrs. Carson had died of poisoning, medical experts will be able to find mineral deposits in the body.
 Mrs. Carson's husband. it was said was J. Gamble Carson. It is not knowr where he is living at present. or what part, if any, he had in bringing about the investigation.
 It is declared, however, that the re- suit of the examination which has beer ordered to follow the eXhuming of Mrs Carson's body, will be one of the great. est sensations ever sprung in the crim- inal annals of Los Angeles county.
 It is also said that prominent south. ern California and Arizona resident. may be involved unpleasantly in ar investigation, following the tests or. dered by the district attorneys office
