Death of King of Siam. — The Siamese commission investigating the death of King Ananda Mahidol has announced that the body will be removed from the great golden urn in which it was placed for the funeral, for examination, states the Bangkok correspondent of the Associated Press. The examination may include the use of X-ray to show the course of the bullet through the head. The decision to re-examine the body was made after the commission had heard the testimony of doctors. The correspondent states that the Criminal Investigation Division has arrested the editor of the Opposition newspaper ‘‘Le Democrate,” which challenged the official reports of the King’s death and demanded the resignation of the Premier.
