SECOND AUTOPSY IS HELD
Fail to Find Package of Poison in

ti Harvard Laboratory for Aiuilys
Ih by Medical Experts.
Boston, Mass., Oct. 25. With the
body of the late Miss Avis Llnnell, for
whose murder Rev. Virgil Rieheson
i.s held In tho county Jaii here, ex
humed and every internal organ re
moved, the prosecution is sparing no
efforts to determine the exact man
ner in which the young woman came
to her death.
The body was exnumed at the cem-
etery In Hayannis, the girl's home, at
midnight last night, in order to as-
cr rtain if the bathrobe which she ;
wore wiicn she died, and which w i ;
buried with her body, contained u
jvn.l or package of cyanide of potas
sium which is alleged to have been
the poison given to her by Reverend i
I Riches. m and which caused her death.
The f.iiiure to find the poison la
I the bath robe, caused the authorities
j to InsNl on a second autopsy, which
v.ns performed today.
Having learned of the intention of
! the aifi'.ioritics to exhume the body,
'the defense becume alarmed and made
' prepa rations to secure an injunction
ia-ainst the ajtlon. In ordir to thwart
! this Injunction, which was to have
! been nskeil for today, the authorities
i exhumed the body at midnight..
The organs removed from the dead
jpirl's body, have been sent to Har
vard laboratory f..r analysis. This is.
M'Oiie in order to determine the man-
ncr in which the poison was taken, us
jibe uncertainly of tills, the aulhorl
'ti.s assert, is the one weak place in
jllie chain of circumstantial evidence
'ayalnst Reverend Richeson. The au
thorities advance the theory that the
i poison was taken in gelatine ca-psub s.
The district attorney ha engaged
lour medical experts to assist Kxnin
iner Iary, In the second autopsy The
girl's body will inter be rcseb'd in a
casket and returned t Hy.iniiis for
interrment. '
