By the Associated Press. WATERTOWN, Mass., January 16.— The funeral of Mrs. George Herman Ruth was subject to de]ay today be- cause of a second autops; Dr. George B. McGrav,h‘ medical ex- aminer of Suffolk County, after making a chemical analysis of the vital or, lns. requested the body in order to mi more thorough examination. Arrange- ments_were made !or the return of Mrs. Ruth's body to an undertaker's rooms today after Dr. McGrath's re- port, but funeral plans were uncertain. Mrs. Ruth died in a fire last Friday at the home of Dr. Edward H. Kinder, Boston dentist. The first autopsy was performed by Medical Examiner George L. West of Middlesex County when it was sup- posed that the dead woman was Mrs. Helen Kinder, as Mrs. Ruth had been known to neighbors for more than a year. Second Autopsy Bar to Error. Medical Examiner West reported that death was due to the fire, and District Attorney Robert T. Bushnell has twice declared that he was convinced that Mrs. Ruth died from accidental causes. He said he ordered the second autopsy in order that there might be no possi- bility of error. Babe Ruth, who has remained here awaiting the funeral, denied that he The Orange Gas at the THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., knew his wife was Ii with Dr. Kinder, at Watertown, as the dentist had told Watertown police Monday. The Babe also denled that he had ever met Dr. Kinder. Daughter’s Future a Question. The future of Dorothy, 9-year-old daughter of the Ruths, remained a question today, with_the Woodfords, the family of Mrs. Ruth, ren.entlng their intention of adopting the child and friends of Babe declaring that the home run king was indignant .at any such plan. From sources close to the Woodfords came other rumors of pos- ;{blte litigation over the estate of Mrs. uth. Among the letters and telegrams of condolence received by Babe Ruth was a message from Lou Gehrig, his team- mate on the New York Yankees and chief rival for home run honors. Geh- rig wired: “Please accept my heart- felt sympathy in your great loss. May the Almighty grant you and Dorothy sufficient strength to bear you up dur- ing your bereavemen CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. ‘TODAY.
