 Because of the unusual beauty Of the painted panels on the mummy ease. no effort has been made to open it. and until yesterday when N-Ray plates were developed nothing was known Of the cases contents. These showed that Lady Tesha's head was severed from her body and that sew eral bones in her arms and thoraX were misplaced and broken.
 At first it was thought that indicat- ed execution or murder but a coun- sel Of physicians has advanced the theory that In the collapse of tissues within the mummy case the bones had fallen away from their original positions. and probably were fractur- cd in transit.
 There still is q possibility, however that back in the 2tst dynasty, where she. maiden of i4 years, served her father in the treasury of Anon. the Egyptian principal deity. Lady Tesha was crushed to death for a fancied wrong.
