MISS HICKMAN'S DEATH.
By Telegraph.—Press Association.—
London, October 21. It is stated that Miss Hickman suffered from heart failure. No traces of poison were found. Some doctors discredit the rat theory, the ligaments being too hard for rodents to sever, and believe that the deceased was attacked from behind and murdered, and then carried into the plantation. Unless she was dead before being carried there, the head could not have been severed. The Queen has condoled with the parents.
