an autopsy performed by Medical Ex- aminer Dr. S. NJ. Garlick, and from analysis of SecretionS made by DT. H. R. DeLuca. What the authorities would like to know, is who gave the poison to the boys, or where did they secure it? Was it in candy form, or some deadly headache medi- cine that was allowed to get within their reach?

It is considered possible, other evidence lacking, that such an article might be on the market and that an advertising campaign might have been the cause of samples reaching the boys hands.
 The report of the Medical Examiner is in the hands of Coroner John J. Phelan, but unless the living lad can recall what occurred on the journey from school the mystery will never be cleared and no evidence will be available with which the coroner could hold a hearing.
