The skeleton was doubled up so that thii head and feet touched , and every- liing about it and the position iu which It vas placed indicated beyond doubt that it iad been shoved Into its position by some one in 59 Itoso street. V'hen the plumber was asked how It hap pen ed so largo a skeleton was tound In the sin all hole w hich he had dug. lie replied : "It V'B doubled up so that the head and feet o nched.

Continued inquiry since the tind lias dieted the fact that the bones belonged to a man who had been about Stewait's statuie. The .oetli of the skeleton had , It Is learned , gold Uling , like Stewart's teeth , and another im- luitant clue also has been recalled. When ho grave was lobbed the ghouls left on the giound near the vault a small shovel and lan- ern.
