of visiting postmasters.
While the Washington corre-
spondent of Every Evening was in

day afternoon, Third Assistant Post

his office and delivered to Mr.. Billany
a check for s3.o4s.714.51. I'VE nave

would you suggest that We do with
it? 1t belongs TO the government, and

In course of the conversation engaged

that on October Z. 1922. the campaign
for the Republican ticket in Delaware
would open at Wilmington, where
there is designed to be great out
pouring of Republicans in an outdoor
demonstration. When he was asked
If he intended to be present and take

The conclusion OF tho officials that
the minister and his favored choris.
ter were slain where their bodies
on a farm just over the Middlesex
County line from New Brunswick,
was also shown as unwarranted There
was not blood In such quantity there
as would have flowed from the terrible
wound.
II was evident from the autopsy
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1922-09-30

Tho wound upon the throat was de-
scritod ~ = necklaces" wound. and
had the appearance OF having been
made by 4 knife in stroke Of down
ward trcnd which cncirclcd tho throat
ut tho base Of the neck. Tho slash
severed tho 1ugular vein. the varotoid
arteries and tho esophaRus. IL wns
established TINT Mrs. Mills was not
pregnant.
Many Questions Settled.
The autopsy not only settled tho DIFF
ferences in tho reports Of DR.. Long
and DR.. cronk but settled many ru-
mors.
DIR. Cronk was definite in his state
ment that there were three bullet
wounds in the woman's head, while
DR.. Long commended that there were
not more than two, or possibly only
one. DIR. Long also was OF the opinion
that the woman's throat had not been
cut, while DR.. Cronk was quite posi-
tive that II had been cut. Nor were
any broken bones found, according 70
Mr.. Beekmnn. although he did find
some scratches and abraslons on one
arm.
The fact that Mrs. Mills throat was
cut, taken in conjunction with the
lack of bloodstains on her clothing
except on the shoulder upon which she
lay, tends to strengthen n favorit.
popular theory that the couple wer,
murdered somewhere else than tn
place at which their bodies were fount
oud TINT thu rtntbna In .,h{ch tt,o,
they were dressed when killed. Pro
ponents OF this theory point also t.
the fact that DR.. Halls coat was sill
UP the back. which they conten,
probably occurred when his body wa
lifted by other persons.
