Yesterday, the bodies of the two
children who had died in January last were exlluined and an autopsyi performed tbercou. They discovered' no traces of poisoning and the evi- dence wus clear that they had died from bronchial pneumonia. An au- topsy was also performed oil thc body of the boy Johnnie who had died last Saturday morning. When the boy lmd been sick his symptoms were exactly the same as those of the other children. The autopsy how- ever. revealed some marked changes in the appearance of the organs. As the boy had been sick longer, these changes were more marked. The chief difference was thc yellowish appearance of the liver and other or- gans. Tile same -marking was notic- ed on the stoinacli, but lint quite so pronounced ns on the others. There was some discoloration on the intes- tines, but filrther down from that which siiowcd on the yoiiiigent child.

Hl‘lCl`fld'l` DIES WITH l-iil\l
i
DIGBY, April 19-“Jerome” died
this morning, his secret dying with lilni. Tile sentence seems but an un-. important piece of news, but there is a great mystery of international importance surrounding this man, who was believed by many to be li sou of a, nohicmnn of some foreign, nation. I
About the year 18.54 n small
schooner sailed across the Buy of Fundy and after iuanoellvfiug for a. time on Mink Cove, Digby- Neck, was seen to send ii small boat ashore and after rl few minutes returned to, the strange vessel. ln the meantime‘ n half-wittod family living in li camp af. the head of the tide noticed that thc boat limi left li iiinn on the shore. `
In this portion of the Buy oil l*`un<ly thc tide rises and falls 28i feet perpondicularly and in covcsi whore the beach is quite level the.. tide runs off along distance, The in-i cldent occurred at low water. Hall way down the beach the strange peo plc had left a man, sitting on li rock. His legs had been recently ampiita- l.ed nt the knees. Besides hinl were ll box of shiiis' hard biscuit liud il small keg oi water. He would, how- ever, have perished with the iiicom lug tide if he had not been-carried to this camp on the shore. This land- ing was also ivitncssed by fwo gun

ners who were out shooting at tip; time, one of which was _` Ban-lupi Giclney, proprietor of the Westport. and Digby Telephone G0., who' still' lives at Mink Cove. _ ' The strange man appeared to _bs about nineteen or twenty yeari,,_of age, was dark co p1exionod..__'ycll-

A few years afterwards he ,_ _,wap
conveyed across St. Mary's Bayfill' i small boat and landed at hfqtdghoh-,
