The cause of Mrs. Jackson's death remains a mys? tery. This was premise gen era1! ac? cepted yesterday by officials of the Kings County District Attorney's of? fice and the police, after an exhaus? tive nnaiysir: of tho stomachs of both victims. The report strengthens the, officia! theory, since Friday, re? garding death, but ii regard? ed as complicating the case as it. con? cerns the death of his wife, The report of the toxicologist who yesterday analyzed the viscera of the couple was tiiat no trace of poison was evident.

As it affects the husband's death this report makes it probable that, the. official theory, which also held by the members of the family, that Jackson died of shock, is the correct one. The husband's death did not occur until some hours later than Mrs. Jack? son's, When the bodies were found Jackson seated on a bathroom chair, with his feet on the floor, one on either side of his wife's body, ano head and shoulders resting o.i the edge of the bathtub, which was at hit back. The position in which he found indicates, the police say, that was overcome while bending to Mrs.

Jackson's body and that he fel backward unconscious. 'I tie question as to what caused Mrs Jackson's death remains unanswered The report of Alexander 0.

M. Va ughan. District, Attorney Boston's statt, insist? that the death did not result from pto maino poisoning. Captain John Sullivan of the Brook lyn detective squad said yesirrda; that the report indicate that, both deaths due to natura causes, but he added that, this made i more difficult than ever to ctabiis the cause of Jackson's death.
