House Thursday noon, to give to
kennebec Valley at the earliest pos
sible date development Of the Dead

CONJECTURE over
CARNARV0N'S DEATH
and ANCIENT CURSE

New York, April Sid avenging
spirits cause the death of Lord Car
narvon for disturbing the tomb of
Tutenkhamun?
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, exponent
of spiritualism, asserted today that
this was by no means an untenable
theory-a theory which dispatches
from Cairo assert is held by native
Egyptians.
Joining hands with Marie Corelli,
the English novelist, Sir Arthur
said that the priests of old Egypt
knew much more of the occult than
we and that they might have placed
a spiritual "elementaT' in the tomb
to strike down the man who dis
turbed the bones of their Pharaoh.
But Psychologists and scientists
read insect bite" and nothing more.
They scoffed opening at the idea of
an avcnging spirit remaining faith
full full 5000 years. anC Sir Arthur
himself was forced to admit that by
nov "Old King Tut's spirit may be
far enough along not to care tup-
pence what happens to his bones"
Mrs. Caroline Williams OF the
New York Historical Society, for
mer assistant curator of Egyptology
at the Metropolitan. was among those
who secuted the ancient supersti-
ton. Unlike the others. however.
Mrs. Williams was interested in
finding its origin and tracing its
growth, and in doing SO, cited some
of. irf;n y1-hi oh b,r-
given rise to and strengthened the
| belief.
Mrs. w lliams said that the NOR
tuary endowment of AmmonhOtep
III. grandfather of Tutenkhamun's
queen. gave a particularly complete
account of what was expected of the
protectors and preservers OF the
endowment and of threats against
| those who violated it.
Highest blessings were promised
those who followed the wishes of
the king and direst evil assured
those who violated them. OF these
latter the inscriptions said: His
body be accurscd. Ammon shall
deliver Niolators to blazing wrath
Others were to be "cngulfed in the
seas
These threats and promises were
made, Mrs. Williams pointed out.
| because the Pharaohs very early
; realized that their bodies were not
safe after burial. She said that the
! contents of the tombs were always
| treated reveren.iy by Psychologists.
I whose objects were merely scientific.
! The state of many tombs. however,
| showed that the Egyptians them
| selves had had less reverence.
| Mrs Williams cited case in 1902
when Howard Carter. then inspector
! in Northern Egypt. directed the re-
| moval of the mummy of Ammon-
! Hotep III from the museum to its
| tomb in Difference to the popular
wish that the mummy be left where
| it was buried. Afterwards. how
| ever, Ghouls robbed the tomb, and
tore the body TO pieces in their
search for yaluables which did not
exist. The guilty men were found.
! she said. but could not be convicted
! in an Egyptian court.
It was also pointed out that Car
| narvon himself had expressed the
| desifc to have the mummy of Tut
cnkhamun remain in the tomb.

had failed.
