Chief Wyman allowed the fellow to go forthwith, telling him he had nothing against him fine for drunkenness. A post mortem was conducted at the Miller undertaking establishment last night, but nothing developed save the facts as given yesterday The blow on the right temple was delivered with sufficient force to cause death. How the dead man received it the coroner was unable to determine and the authorities do not seem disposed to find out. The examination developed farts, however, that should not.

be overlooked. When the stomach was examined there was no evidence that the man had been drugged, effectually doing away with any theory to that effect. It was developed by inquiry made among electricians, too, uat Griffin could not have been killed by coming! in contact with the wiring or machines of car No. IS. The car was well filled With passengers when the Wellsvllle man was run down, while the crew alighted immediately after the ear stopped.

There would have been seme mark upon the body had the victim been electrocuted, and in addi tion to that there would have been an odor of burning flesh. The result of both the Inquest and the autopsy tends to strengthen the theory of murder by nearly every one in any way connected with the affair, with the possible exception of the police department. The remains of Griffin were removed to the Haugh undertaking establishment at. Wellsville last night arrangements for the funeral made. And C.
