position nf the body before he made
his escape out the rear door.
Trailed to Anniiton.
The Pinnertons have trailed the
<• reek into Alabama and he Is be
lieved to be in Anniston, from where
news of his arrest is expected hourly.
The detectives say that the new
theory explains away all of the dis
crepancies which hitherto have puz
zled those forking on the case, ex-
cfcptthose of the hair found on one of
the lathing machines on the second
floor, where the struggle was aup-
posed to have taken place. They are
of the opinion, however, that too
much weight may have been attached
to these bits of evidence, and that
the hair may have been that of some
other girl and that the stains on the
floor may not have been bloodstains.
It became evident that the State
had taken up the trail of the Greek
w hen Solicitor Dorsey, a Greek inter
preter and a man said to be a Burns
detective started out in an automo
bile Wednesday afternoon to gather
evidence. The Solicitor would say
nothing of the object of his trip, but
in view of the most recent develop
ments it immediately was surmised
that the Solicitor had Interested him- |
self In the new phase of the case!
and was following down the tjlews on
his own account.
The circumstances of the murder
were such as to leave the killing with
out any understandable motive if this
presupposed crime was not accom-!
plished. For this reason the report*
of the outrage were accepted by
everyone as true, and the authorities!
themselves have been working on this
theory.
Solicitor Would Clear Uncertainty.
If the examination on the second |
exhumation proves the contention of j
the expert physician, the detectives
will have difficulty In fixing a motive
for the murder.
Solicitor General Dorsey ordered
that the body be exhumed a second
time so that tlie opinion of the ex
pert physician might be either posi
tively established or disproved be
yond a doubt. The conflicting theo
ries which have arisen sjnee the body
was exhumed last Monday have casi
a shadow of uncertainty over the in
vestigation that the Solicitor was de
sirous of dispelling at once and for
good.
The order for the second exliuma
tion was given by Solicitor Dorsey,
but it had not been made up to 2
o’clock on Wednesday.
Coroner Donehoo admitted Chat
Dorsey’s order had been given, but
-aid it had not been carried out. lie
would make no further statement.
The report published in an early
edition of The Georgian that the body
bad been exhumed was made on state
ments by officials, and that it wus
for the purpose of making a micro
scopic examination of every wound on
the body for Anger prints and other
clews.
It 13 undoubtedly the Intention of
the authorities to exhume the body
again.
Dorsey Maintains Silence.
Very properly Solicitor Dorsey is
not making public every move that
the prosecution is engaged in, nor is
he giving to the public such evidence
as he is enabled to obtain.
It would seem probably that he
exhumation will be made, if not on
Wednesday, at least some other day
soon; for the belief is growing that
here still may be some clews thit
are worthy of further examination.
Parents Object to Exhumation.
Solicitor Dorsey instructed Coro-

ner Donehoo to secure the permit-
ion of the gill’s parents before or
dering the exhumation of the body,
and Coroner Donehoo said Wednesday
afternoon that the father of the dead
girl, J. W. Coleman, war. very much
excited over the reports that the body
had been exhumed Wednesday morn
ing. The Coroner called on Mr. Cole
man and assured him that the body
had not be* n taken from its grave in
Marietta.
%
Thougii none of the officials would
make a statement to that effect, it Is
probable that the opposition which
developed from the girl’* parents has
caused the officials to abandon their
plans to exhume the body, for the
present, at leant.
It was reported that the Anger
prints on the body were to be photo
graphed and compared with the An
ger prints of persons under suspi
cion; which may, or may not have
any basis In facts and might, or might
not he of value. After the remains
were discovered in the factory base
ment they were handled by several
prisons—embalmers and others—and
whether there are any Anger prints
now on the body is problematic.
It is Si}id that a complete chart wi 1
be prepared by medical experts to bo
used at the trial, showing every
wound and mark.
Notwithstanding these speculations
as to the purpose of the exhumation,
Solicitor Dorsey declared Wednesday
forenoon that it was not for the pur
pose of obtaining a record of the fin
gerprints. One of the principal rea
sons for thu action, ha 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 detectives
discovered bloofJ spots on the floor
and other evidences of a struggle.
"1 cannot talk in regard to the
matter," he said. “The body was ex
humed, it Is true, at my request. But
to reveal further plans would he hurt
ful.”
Thinks She Didn't Leave Factory.
The Solicitor is In entire accord
with the theory that Mary Phagan
never left the factory aftqr she re
ceived her pay Saturday noon lie
declared that if any search was being
made for the man even with o girl
Saturday, April 26, by attaches of the
Terminal Station, It was not being
conducted under his 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 was?
slain in the factory.
All of the remaining evidence in
the case will be presented when the
Coroner's inquest resumes Thursday
morning at 9:30 o’clock.
It is the purpose of Coroner Done
hoo 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 und wo
men employed at the pencil factory.
It is unlikely, however, that more
than a few of the girls will be placed
on the witness stand, but 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 can
be 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 ihe
State Board of Health, will -submit a
report on his chemical analysis of the
contents of Mary Phagan's stomach.
Dr. Harris alMo made a careful exam
ination of the wounds and bruises on
the body and will report on this to the
jury.
Dr J. W. Hurt, county physician,
made the first examination of the
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

Bowen Released in Houston.
Accompanying mystifying new fea
tures of tlie hunt for the slayer was
the news that Paul P. Bowen, held In
Houston for the Atlanta authorities,
had been released anc reireved of all
suspicion.
Bowen was employed w ith the Mar
row Transfer Company in Atlanta ns
stenographer and shipping clerk, an * l
later with the Southern Railway. H I
had many friends here and with them
bore a good reputation.
His father and other relatives live
in New nan. Ga.. and ar-‘ among the*
best people of that part of the State.
Chief of Police Davison, of Houston,
was angered that hie detective chief
should have exceeded his ajthorit> in
arresting Bowen, and promptly 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 Dee’s shirt and prob
ably would submit a report to Coro

Macon’s Council to

City Objects to Paying Fee on Claim
for Taxes and Assess
ments.
MACON, GA.. May 7.—Tlie City
Council has instructed its attorney to
appeal from the decision in the Huff
case ns recently rendered by Judge
Emory Speer. The court held that
each of the intervening creditors
should pay 10 per cent of claims to
the attorneys for the original com
plainants.
Council, which has a claim of near

does not believe the city should con
tribute to the payment of attorneys
for another creditor. The city will
join with Colonel W. A. Huff in taking
an appeal to the United States Cir
cuit Court. This will delay the set
tlement in the fourteen-year-oid liti
gation at least two more years.

State Game Warden Will Answer
Threats of Angry Fishermen
and the Mayor.
State Game Warden Jesse Mercer
Wednesday announced that he would
go to Berrien County to see that the
law affecting Banks Mill Pond was
enforced, despite the threats of vio
lence by people in that vicinity, par
ticularly Mayor William Pafford, of
Milltown. He intends to be in Nash
ville to attend the trial of the 19
cases made by Deputy Warden M. F.
Bolsclair, which precipitated the ac
tual defiance of the law.
Warden Mercer said Banks Pond
has tons of fish in it, and that the
people could not realize that they did
not have perfect freedom to it. The
water covers 8,000 acres, 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. An Insight into the situation is
given in a letter to Warden Mercer
from Deputy Bolsclair. It follows:
Some May Have Rights.
“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 1 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.
Berryhill or assassinated openly on
the streets or road.
“I was told by several, at least one
of them an official, that the Justice
of^Jhe Peace before whom I had
sworn out the warrants had an
nounced that he wouj/j 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 cases were set for trial Sat
urday morning, and I went to the
Justice of the Peace at the justice
court house, although I had been
warned not to go to Milltown, which
is two miles from the 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 Mayor of the town, who was
standing on the porch, immediately
began to abuse me. I did not know
who he was, but he 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. with the Mayor leading the as
sault on me with gestures and vile
epithets, the crowd became menac
ing.
“When T refused to be provoked
into a difficulty with the Mayor, real
izing that discretion was 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 I was left-handed
and that my pistol was in the left-
hand pocket. Nobody had seen my
pistol or had reason to believe that J
had one, except as a mere surmise.
“But for the timely arrival of
County Warden T. J. Duke, of Fitz
gerald, I would have been put in jail,
as they required two names on the
bond and I knew only one man in the
crowd.
“At Nashville, after leaving Mill-
town, I swore out the warrants be
fore the justice in that district, where
I am sure the law will be vindicated.’’
