Creek on June 20, might have died

Mr. Dowell said that when the report
arrived he would confer with State po-
lice officials before deciding whether
to make it public Immediately. The
analysis was made by DR.. Howard J..

physician. after an autopsy performed
here by DR.. Page c. Jet showed Mrs.
Lewis had not drowned, but failed to
disclose the cause Of death.
Pending study Of DR.. Maldeis' find-

on the theory that Mrs. Lewis, a Bu-
reau Of Engraving and Printing char
woman. died from an overdose Of ether
or chloroform at the start Of an at
tempted illegal operation by WASH
ington physician, Mr.. Dowell said.
A Washington street car conductor,

charged. Rodes' was not in position to

could climb the hill. Early was forced
to retire Oflcers who participated in

what they consider the loss of a great
opportunity. They say that Early got
within 400 feet of the Federal bat

he had been able to seize and to hold
those guns, the Federals would have
lost the stronghold Of their artillery.
