The evidence is now in the hands of the county grown attorney of Huron county, Two theories are advanced as leading to the boy's death— enc of suicide and the other that he was playing with the rope intending to hang for a while to see how it felt and then release himself. The latter theory is accepted by those who know the boy and hie surroundings, anti the evidence of the doctor who inade the post mortem extenination also bears out that theory, The doctor testified that that the boy could not have helped himself, as was reported in the papers, because two blood vessels in the neck were found to have burst. The bursting of these blood vessels would result as soon as the full weight of the body came on the rope and would render the boy instantly uncoil serous so that he could not have helped himself. The boy was of a cheerful the osition and given to playing tricks pother thing pointed out in support o accidental hanging.
