HAVRE DE GRACE, Nd,
June 22.-Despite the fact
that he has declared he is un'
decided upon the exhumation
of the bodies of the three
members of the family of Mrs.
Hattie V. Stone who died sud
denly, States Attorney w
Worthington Hopkins plans to
have them removed from the
Angel Hill Cemetery here
Monday, it was learned today.
DIR. Charles j. Foley, health Off
Ger. will perform an autopsy on
each body and will send the viscera
to Baltimore for chemical ANALYSIS.
Mrs. ST who. is ctlarged WaEn
having poisoned her i5.yeasir--old soh'
George. is held In the Beiair jail on
a charge of murder.
Fears Crowds
II Il understood that the reason
for the states attorneys 1noe-
cision" is that he does not want a
crowd of curious around when the
graves are opened. He desires 10
prevent undue excitement.
The bodies are those of Mrs Emma
Johnston Stone, mother. r.in-law OF the
accused woman, who died four years
ago: Edgar Stone, elder son OF the
accused, who died June Z, 1927. and
Edgar A. Stone, the husband, who
died on a train near Edgewood on
January 80. 1928. All died In con
vulsions.
Pending the exhumation and the
chemists report, Hopkins will con
time 10 gather evidence that the
three died Of poisoning, probably
strychnine.
Mrs. Stone in her cell at the
county Jail today reiterated that
she had on knowledge Of the poison
ing.
Maintains Innocence
"They can dig 'em all up In
Angel Hill Cemetery she declared,
"and il they find any poison in any
of the bodies it was not put there
by my hand"
James E. Aherts, former star
boarder at the home Of the accused
woman, is to be held at the Belair
Jail as a material witness until he
can produce $500 bond. At the
time OF his arrest in Baltimore,
Wednesday, Aberts admitted inti'
nacies with Mrs. Jones but de.
clarei he was through with her. )"
However he has talked with her
in Jail and had brought meals for
her. She Is 40 and he 81.
A thorough search of records in
Baltimore pharmacies is being made
for it Is thought the poison was
purchased there. The records of
three have failed to show anything.

Washington police, authorities OF
Fairfax and Arlington counties and
the state police of Virginia today
settled down to one of the most IN.
tensive man-hunts ever staged in the
Old Dominion in their search for
william Kidd, alias Kid Lilly. IL
year-old colored man. as the muir
derer of Sergt. Charles McClary,
early Thursday night.
Circulars bearing all available in
formation and description Of the
fugitive were sent out from Alex
andria police headquarters today.
They were sent to police chiefs over
a wide area and especially to cities
and towns where the man is known
to have friends.
Sought Here
Washington police fit into the
search because Kidd is known to
have friends there, and because
Washington Is city having 3
large colored population into which
the man could step and drop from
sight.
Virginia authorities will take nc
chances in attempting to arrest
their man because McClary was the
second peace officer he is accused
of numbering. Added to that was
the sensational escape made by
Kidd from Sheriff Charles r. Mur
ply. of Pittsylvania county, Vir

Va.
That escape followed Kidd's arrest

man of Harry F. Sinclair, will

The mandate of the United States
Supreme Court, which refused TO
reverse the four months sentence
for contempt of court imposed on

owing during the Fa1l-Sinclair oil
trial in the fall of 1927. was mailed
to Frank r. Cunningham, clerk of
the District Supreme Court, last

Surrender Arranged
Cunningham turned thu mandate
over to United States Attorney
Leo A Rover, who, in turn referred
ii to Neil Burkinshaw, his assistant,
who has pushed the oil prosecn-
tions in the local and appellate
courts for the past five years.
The commitment was signed by
Chief Justice Walter l. Mccoy to-
day, but Days counsel has arranged
to surrender him Monday to begin
serving his sentence.
Sinclair was also committed to
serve the six months imposed on
him for the same affair The pres.
ent sentence will run concurrentiy

The Burns Sinclair contempt trial
is one of the most interesting in
local court annals.
Trial Was Sensational
During the trial of Sinclair and
Albert B. Fall for conspiracy in
connection with the Teapot Dome
scandals in the fall of 1927, one of
the jurors was heard to .have said
that he would be surprised in case
of an acquittal IF l didn't get a
car block long" The matter
was brought to the attention of
Burkinshaw, who quickly irivesti-
gated and the following morning
moved for a mistrial,
Startling disclosures followed in
quick succession. and the after
n1ath came. with the indictment Of
on charges of contempt for jury
cember 5. 1927, and ended February
21, 1928, one of the longest ON
record
All of four were convicted. The
elder Burns, however. was success.
full in his appeal. He had no con.
nection with the case and was in
Washington or private business. He
had retired from the active associa-
ton with the detective bureau which
bears his name.
The other defendants admitted the
Jury shadowing charges but denied
the contempt. They declared that
1t was the admitted policy of the
Government in important cases to
shadow juries and to investigate
prospective jurors. The defendant
had the right to do likewise. it was
c0nte ended.

OF Egypt has now laid bare a subter-
ranean chamber measuring four by
five meters. situated to the south Of
Amran. where the COW harems Of the
bulls were recently discovered.
This chamber contains 3 large
granite Sarcophagus which, It was
thought, would hold the skeleton of
a bull, but on examination IL proved
to be empty. In the adjoining cham
Der, however. dating from the Ro-
man period, the skeleton Of q bull
was found.
Laying bare a further section OF the
walls Of the Chamber, the excavators
ascertained that the "Bucheum"-the
recropolis Of The sacred Buchis of
Hermonthis, corresponding to the
''Serapeum" Of the Apis bull at
Memphis-was situated completely
underground. and that 1t had been
hewn out of the rock.
