*»thstanding these speculations
ih to the purpose of the exhumation.
Solicitor Dorsey declared Wednesday
forenoon that It was not for the pur-
pone of obtaining a record of the fin
gerprints. One of the principal rea
sons for the action, he said, was to
get a strand of the girl's hair in or
der to compare it with the hair found
on the lathing machine In the tip
ping department at the factory. It
was at this point that the detective*
discovered blood spot* on the* floor
and other evidence.* of a struggle.
I cannot talk in regard to the
matter." he said. "The body was ex
humed. it is true, at my request. But
to reveal further plan* would be hurt
ful."
Thinks She Didn’t Leave Factory.
The Solicitor Is in entire accord
with the theory that Mary Phagan
never left the factory after she re
ceived her pay Saturday noon. He
declared that if any search was being
made* for the man wen with a girl
Saturday. April 26. by attaches of the
Terminal Station, it was not being
conducted under ills direction.
The results of the chemical analy
sis in the laboratory of Dr. Harris In
the State Capitol have not yet been
made public. Dr. Harris would not
admit Wednesday that traces of
drugs had been found, bearing out
the belief that the girl was drugged
and rendered helpless before she wap
*lain in the factory.
All of the remaining evidence In
the case will he presented when the
Coroner’s inquest resumes Thursda y
morning at 9:30 o’clock.
It is the purpose of Coroner Don
iioo to limit testimony to the points*
that are regarded as essential, so that
the hearing may he concluded by.
Thursday night.
Have Two Hundred Names.
The Coroner and the Solicitor Gen
eral have the names of about 200 per
sons on whom they may call for testi
mony. These -include girls and wo
men employed at the peneil factory.
It is unlikefy, however, that more
than a few of the girls will be placed
on the witness stand, hut will be held
in readiness to testify as was the
case last Monday afternoon “when the
roll-call room was Allied with wit
nesses.
So far as the line of testimony (‘an
l»e anticipated from the information
given out by the authorities, the most
important will come from the physi
cians and chemists who have been at
work on the mystery under the direc
tion of Coroner Donehoo and Solicitor
Dorsey
Dr. H. F Harris, director of the
State Board of Health, will submit a
report on Ms chemical analysis of the
contents of Mary Phagan’s stomach.
I)r. Harris also made a careful exam
ination of the wounds and bruises on
the body and will report on this to the
Jury.
Dr. J. \V. Hurt, county physician,
made the first examination of th«»
girl's body after it was found In the
basement of the factory. He also was
present when it was exhumed from
its little grave in the Marietta ceme
tery and another examination made
at the order of Solicitor General Dor
sey. He will present the results of

of the pieces of wood chipped from
the factory floor where the stains of
blood were discovered, and will he
questioned by Coroner Donehoo.
The recalling of Newt Lee also is
regarded as an Indication that the au
thorities expect the night watchman
to tell something which he forgot or
concealed in his previous examina
tion.
The factory ghis will tell of their
acqualntanc* with Mary Phagan, of
her companions and habits and of the
conditions under which they have to
work at the factory, so far' as they
have any relation to the mystery.
Bowen Released in Houston.
Accompanying mystifying new fea
tures of the hunt for the slayer was
the news that Paul P. Bowen, held la
Houston for the Atlanta authorities,
had been released and relieved of all
suspicion.
Bowen was employed with the Mar
row Transfer Company in Atlanta as
stenographer and shipping clerk, and
later with the Southern Railway. II
had many friends here and with them
bore a good reputation.
His father and other relatives live
in Newnan, Ga., and are among the
best people of that part of the State.
Chief of Police Davison, of Houston,
was angered that hi.** detective chief
should have exceeded his authority in
arresting Bowen, anti proiaptly dis
charged him from authority.
By letters Bowen wrote from Texas
•and statements of friends it was
proved conclusively that he could not
have been connected with the At
lanta mystery and he was accordingly
freed.
Dr. Claude A. Smith, city bacteri
ologist. said Wednesday that he was
hurrying the examination of the blood
stains on Newt Lee’s shirt and prob
ably would submit a report to Coro
ner Donehoo late in the afternoon.
The shirt was found by detectives
In a barrel in Lee’s home when a
search was made a few days aft q
th»* killing of the Phagan girl.

State Game Warden Je»*e Mercer
Wednesday announced that he would
go to Berrien County to see that the
law affecting Bank* Mill Pond was
enforced, despite the threat* of vio
lence by people in that vicinity, par
ticularly Mayor William Pafford, of
Mliltown. He Intend* to be in Nash
ville to attend the trial of the 19
i aees made by Deputy Warden M. P.
Bolsclair. which precipitated the ac
tual defiance of the law. »
Warden Mercer said Banks Pond
has tons of fl«h in it, and that the
people could not realize that they did
not have perfect freedom to it. The
water covers 8.000 acre*, owned by
numerous persons. This situation is
the cause of a bitter controversy of
long standing over the fishing rights
between the owners of the pond prop
er and the owners of the submerged
land Ah insight into the situation la
given In ^ letter to Warden Mercer
from Deputy Boise lair. It follows:
Some May Have Right*.
"After I had secured the names and
necessary data on which to base pros
ecution in nineteen instances I prob
ably made the mistake to Include two
or three parties who may have legall
rights in the pond.
"As !-*oon as I announced my pur
pose they set about inflaming the
public mind, and I was constantly
cautioned that my life was in danger;
that I would be'shot from ambush or
mobbed at night in the home of Mr.
Berry hill or assassinated openly on
the streets or road.
"I was told by several, at least one
of thyin an official, that the Justice
of the Peace before whom I had
sworn out the warrant* had an
nounced that he, would not bind any
of the parties over, and I. of course,
understood then that it would be folly
to go to trial before him.
Saw Justice of the Peace.
“The oases were set for trial Sat
urday morning, and I went to the
Justice of the Pea<e at the justice
court house, although I had been
warned not to go to Mliltown, which
is two miles from .he pond where I
was staying, and told the justice, who
was on the front porch of the court
room, I had decided to dismiss the
warrants or withdraw them.
"The Mayoi of the town, who was
standing on the porch, immediately
began to abuse me. I did not know
who he was. but lie was one of the
defendants, in a moment after I ap
proached the justice, 200 or 300 peo
ple gathered around where I stood
and. witli the Mayor leading the as
sault on me with gestures and vile
epithets, the crowd became menac
ing.
"When 1 refused to be provoked
into a diAbility witli the Mayor, real
izing that discretion w as the only sen
sible course, the Mayor ordered my
arrest and the City Marshal, stand
ing by, placed me under arrest, and
immediately searched me, looking for
my pistol on the right side.
Saved by County Warden.
"I told him that 1 was left-handed
and that my pistol was in the left-
hand pocket. Nobody had seen my
pistol or had reason to believe that 1
had one. except as a mere -surmise.
“But for the timely arrival of
County Warden T. J. Luke, of Fitz
gerald, 1 would have been put in jail,
as they required two names or\ the
bond aiivl I knew only one man in the
crowd.

1 am sure the law will be vindicated."

A dispatch from Cincinnati report*
that Mrs. Zefla Cunningham got a
divorce because her husband fed ail
the fresh eggs to his mother.
Did you ever want a real fresh
*Kg'-
Did your palate ever crave one so
that you would forsake everything
for the taste of It?
"Yes?”
Well, then, you can fully appreciate
the feelings of Mrs. Zella Cuning-
ham, a Cincinnati woman who was
granted a divorce from her husband,
a wealthy merchant of the Ohio city,
to-day. You can also appreciate the
feelings of the judge—if you are a
man—who severed the matrimonial
knot.
It appears that Mrs. Cunningham
had a rare brood of hens, said hens
producing several of the freshest of
egg* each day. But—and would you
believe it!—Mrs. Cunningham never
had an opportunity of sampling any
one of those eggs.
“Not a one, she told Judge War
ner.
Instead of feeding his devoted wife
— the real owner of the chickens—on
the fresh eggs, Cunningham gave
them to his mother.
When the Judge heard this—being
a fancier of fresh eggs himself—he
hesitated not a moment in granting
the wife her plea.
Though Judge Warner did not
mention the fact—this J* the latest
angle ever that has been placed on
the mother-in-law joke of ancient
history.
