SHEPARD’S BODY ' THE B0YS114 THE OTHER CAR
EXHUMED AGAIN
Other Organs Removed i
And Taken To Atlanta
In Poison Hunt
MACON, Nov, 18.—The body of|
Fred D. Shepard, wealthy peach j
>hepar_, . ,-
•ower of Houston county, whose
growt,
death is being investigated by a cor
oner’s jury of that ocunty, re-ex- i
amined yesterday afternoon. An- !
V other autopsy was performed by Dr. i
IV S. Brown, in .the presence .of Dr.!
* Jo. n Funke, Atlanta pathologist; 1
Solicitor General Charles H. Garrett
and members of the coroner’s jury.
The esophagus was removed, to
gether with the intestinal tract, and
a sample of the lungs, and the bind-
der was Aalned. These specimens
were placed in glass containers and
taken back to Atlanta last night
where Dr. Funke will conduct his
pathological and physiological ex
amination and Dr. Edgar Everhart
will continue his chemical analysis,
in the search of poison.
The' developments of yesterday
were not announced until 6 o'clock
last night, upon the return of Soli
citor General Garrett from Fort Val
ley. '
Solicitor Garrett had instructed
the Fort Valley coroner to have the
body disinterred and ready for them
upon their arrival.
The body was still found to be
in good condition.
The disinterment of the body was
done so quietly that no one had as
sembled at the grave except mem
bers of the official party of investi
gators when the autopsy began. And
no curious onlookers assembled dur
ing the progress. When the-first au
topsy was performed there was a
big crowd on hand and armed guards
were on duty at the cemetery.
After he reached his office, the
solicitor stated that the inquest which
had been continued until Friday of
this week probably would have tc
be continued until a later date, as
he said the reports of t*>e patholo
gist and the chemist would not be
ready Friday.
