HUN ILLS Throng Cheers King Alfonso From Behind Forest of Guns. Anarchistic Plots Feared. Third Time Unfortunate Victim’s Re mains Have Been Exhumed—Dor sey Says Officials Are Not Looking for Finger Prints, but Other Clews. The body of Mary Phagari was exhnuied early Wednesday for the second time in two days. The unofficial explanation is that the exhumation is made for the purpose of making a microscopic and minute examination of every wound on the body for finger prints and other clews as well. Solicitor Dorsey let it be known that the police are not working on the idea that the finger prints would be helpful in solving the mystery, if indeed there are any finger prints to be found, as the body has been em balmed and has been handled by jnany persons since it was first discovered in the basement of the pencil factory. Nevertheless, it may be safely said that a rricroscopital examination will be made of every mark on the body. It was reported before the depar ture was .jnade for Marietta that a Bertillon expert had been engaged and that if any finger prints were found, photographs would be taken and the most careful measurements made for the purpose of comparison. Will Compare Finger Mark*. With these records in their posses sion, the authorities will be able to compare them with the finger prints of Frank and Lee. as well as with those of any suspects that are taken later. 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 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 detectives discovered blood spots on the floor and other evidences of a struggle. Solicitor Dorsey, on whose order the body was exhumed on both occa sions. refused to go further into the reasons for his action. “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 plans would be hurt ful.” Think* She Didn’t Leave Factory. The Solicitor is in entire 'accord with the theory that Mary Phagan never left the factory after she re- ceievd her pay Saturday noon. He declared that if any search was being made for the man seen with a girl Saturday, April 26, by attaches of the Terminal station, It was not being conducted under his direction. Dr. Harris will make a more thor ough examinaflon of the wounds of the girl than has been made pre viously. It is believed that this ex amination is being made to confirm a new theory that has been advanced either by Dr. Harris or the Solicitor General. 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 bad been found, bearing out the belief that the girl was drugged and rendered helpless before she was- slain in the factory. Bowen Released in Houston. Accompanying mystifying new fea tures of the hunt for the slayer was the news that Paul P. Bowen, held in Houston for the Atlanta authorities, had been released and relieved of all suspicion. Bowen was employed w ith the Mor row Transfer Company in Atlanta .is stenographer and shipping clerk, an:! later with the Southern Railway.
