Coroner French Will Have ^-jtody Exhumi ExarmnationT DOCTORS SAY GIRL WAS CHOKED Casimlr Reichlin Said to Have Seen the Slayer of His Sister and to Have Been Threatened by Him on the Night of the Murder. .. Ldraln, O., dispatch.: The inquiry Into the murder of Agatha Reichlin will be reopened and Coroner French has announced that he will exhume the body of the murdered young wom­ an for further examination. This action is the result of new evi­ dence, two physicians having assert­ ed they believe the young woman was choked to death and a bartender hav­ ing told the police that Father Walser has said Caslmir Reichlin had seen and been threatened by the murderer. Noah Spradllng, the barkeeper at the* Armstrong hotel, was summoned to police headquarters. He is the man who sold Casimlr Reichlin a gallon of whisky for Father Walser on the night of the murder. When put In the "sweat box" Spradllng told the police that Father Walser had said to him on the day following the murder that the murderer, as he was leaving the house by way of the attic, had threat­ ened both him and Casimlr Reichlin with the stone he carried. "The Rev. Mr. Walser," said Sprad­ llng, "came into the hotel on the af­ ternoon of the day the murder was discovered. I spoke to him about the murder. I asked why two „ men like himself and Casimlr did not attack the Intruder. He said: 'The murder­ er came into the room and held . a stone over my head in a threatening attitude. When I told him to get out of there he backed into Agatha's room and threatened to kill the first ipan who approached him.' " Testimony Conflicts. Two other men who heard Father Walser's. statement say they got the Impression that Caslmir Reichlin was Included in the priest's descriptibn of the affair. This was a surprise to the police, inasmuch as Casimlr bad testified at the Inquest that he had neither heard nor seen the murderer; that the priest alone saw him and that he escaped before Casimlr was awakened by the priest. n The decision to exhume the body of Agatha Reichlin was arrived at by Coroner French, who Is not satisfied with the autopsy. Dr. Cox reported there were no signs ot violence on the body, aside from the wound on the head, which caused death. Coroner French now says there were bruises upon the throat lis if she had been choked, and also a bruise upon one wrist. T£is is ̂ verified by the state­ ment of Police Captain Ketcmrm. Btood in Stomach. The health officer also reported that' he found a gallon of blood In the wom­ an's stomach. The coroner says such a quantity of blood could only have come from- a ruptured artery in the throat, as it would have passed out through the nose and mouth if it had come from a wound in the head. It Is probable Father Walser will be sum­ moned as a witness. He did not tes­ tify at the Inquest for the reason that he was under arrest. He is expected to clear up the question as to whether Casimlr Reichlin saw the murderer or not THE LATEST MARKET REPORT8 Wheat.
