CERTIFICATE OF SUICIDE UNCHANGED BY AUTOPSY Dr. W. B. Carr Finds No Other Cause for Mrs. Loretto Dwyer’s Death. An autopsy performed today on the body of Mrs. Loretta Dwyer, wife of Elmer F. Dwyer, and whose body was found hanging in the basement of the fumily home, 2016 N street, on Sep- tember 5, failed to show any cause of death other than suicide. In order that everything possible should be done in the case, however, a chemical analysis will be made of the stomach and organs by Dr. T. M. Price, health department chemist, to determine if they had been affected by chemicals. Dr. William B. Carr, former deputy coroner, was called from his home in Warrenton, Va., by United States At- torney Peyton Gordon to perform the He was sted by Dr. Jcseph C. Rogers and Dr. A.

He did find s i of the hanging. The autopsy, stated, failed to show that Mrs. Dwyer had been violently dealt with No abnormal condition was found, the what the result of the chemical an- alysis would prove, however. In short, he said, nothing was found to disprove the certificate of suicide. Following the autopsy, Coroner Nevitt swore a jury over the body and said an inquest probably would be held next week. The inquest will not be Leld, he said, until the report of the chemical analysis is received. Hearings on the action of the Board of Children's Guardians which is en- deavoring to remove from Mr. Dwyer's custody two of his_children, were started today betore Judge Katherine Sellers in the Juvenile Court. Mre. Elmore, investigator for the Board of Children's Guardians, and Miss Tighlman of the woman's bu reau, police department, testified tha they had made wisits to the Dwyer home and found conditions there not conducive to the moral uplift of the children.

The new rate, he sald, would be consid- erably lower than all-rail transpor tation. MODIF REFUNDING PLAN.
