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.

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. SPRING^SUIT OF CEMENT; UNDRESSED WITH CHISEL ROCHESTER. PA..

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. "At Nashville, after leaving Mill- town. I swore out the warrants be fore qhe justice in that district, where 1 am sure the law will be vindicated." rioe a(ong the Luncheon was GOVERNMENT TO PROBE SINKING OF STEAMBOAT NATCHEZ, .MISS., May 7— An of- tidal investigation of the Concordia disaster, in which two white persons and thirteen negroes lo’st their live-, when the steamer crashed into a pier of the New Orleans and North western Railroad bridge at Claytoi, La., last Friday, will begin next Fri day.

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.
