floor where th
ie of
lines on the second
struggle was sup
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 stain.* on the
floor may not have been bloodstains.
It became evident that the Htate j
had taken up the trail of the Greek |
w hen Solicitor Dorsey, a Greek inter
preter and « man said to he a Burns |
detective started out In an automo
bile Wednesday afternoon to gather j
evidence. The Solicitor would say
nothing of the object of his trip, but!
In view of the most recent develop-1
ments it immediately was surmised,
that the Solicitor had interested him- I
self in the new phase of the case
and was following down the clews 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 reports
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
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 the 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 since the body
was exhumed last Monday have cast
a shadow of uncertainty over the in
vestigation that the Solicitor was de-
aiioutf of dispelling at once and for
good.
; 'Hie order for the second cxhtima-
Tion. was given by Solicitor Dorsey,
-Amjt it had not been made up to 2
o’cloc k on \\ ednesday.
Coroner Donehoo admitted that
Dorsey s order had been given, but
fcaid it had not been carried out. He
would make no further statement.
The report published in an early
edition of The Georgian that the body
had been exhumed was made on state
ments by officials, nhd that It was
for the purpose of making a mkTo-
•eopic examination of every wound on
the body for finger prints and other
clews.
It Is 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
there still may be some clews that
are worthy of further examination.
Parents Object to Exhumation.
Solicitor Dorsey instructed Coro-

nor Donehoo to secure the permis
sion of the girl’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 exhumer] Wednesday morn
ing. The Coroner called on Mr. Cole
man and assured him that the body
had not been taken from its grave in
Marietta
Though none of the officials would
make a statement to that effect, it is
probable that the opposition which
developed from the girl’s parents has
eausrd the officials to abandon their
plans to exhume the body, for the
present, at least.
It was reported that the finger
prints on the body were to be photo
graphed and compared with the fin
ger prints of persons under suspi
cion; whirh may, or may not have
any basis in facts and might, or might
not be of value. After the remains
were discovered In the factory has -
ment they were handled by several
prsonc embalmers and others—and
whether there rare any finger prin*.3
now on the body is problematic.
It is said that a complete chart wi l
be prepared by medical experts to be
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 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.
"1 cannot talk In regard to the
matter.' he said. "The body wus ex
humed. it Is true, at my request. But
to reveal further plans 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
niHde for the man wen with a 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 l)r. Harris in
the State c’apitol 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 th©
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 be concluded by
Thursday night.
Have Two Hundred Namei.
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 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 wan Allied with wit
nesses.
So far as the line of testimony can
be anticipated from the information
given out by the authorities, the most
imjiortant 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 his chemical analysis of the
contents of Mary Phagan’s stomach.
l»r. Harris al?o made a careful exam
ination of the wounds and bruises on
the body and will report on this to the
jury.
Dr. .1 W. Hurt, county physician,
made the first examination of th*i>
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

VIENNA, GA., May 7.—Two men
are dead and another is dangerously,
if not fatally, wounded as the result
of :rouble between two neighbors of
Dooly County, near here to-day.
The dead are P. P. Sangster and

tation. His horse had been taken
from his buggy and ridden off, pre
sumably by his slayer. Sheriff Ben
nett was notified and, with E. C. Tay
lor and B. F. Cason, went to the
scene. Suspicion pointed to Blow' and
the Sheriff started in pursuit of him.
He was overtaken after a chase of
five or six miles.
When Bennett undertook to arrest
Blow the latter fired three or four
times, dangerously wounding the offi
cer. Bennett returned the fire, kill

amination of the bloodstains on a
shirt found at Newt Lee's home and
of the pieces of wood chipped from
the factory floor where the stains of
blood were discovered, and will be

The factory girls will tell of their
acquaintance with Mary Phagan, of
her companions and tfllbits and of the
conditions under which they have to

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 in
Houston for the Atlanta authorities,
had been released ancr relieved of all
suspicion.
Bowen was emp oyed w ith the Mar
row Transfer Comp..: y in Atlanta .*s
stenographer and shipping clerk, an !
later with the Southern Railway. H *
had many friends here and w ith 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 hie detective chief
should have exceeded his authority 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
stain# 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 after

Pretty Senoia Lass, Held Here,
Tells Kind of Man She Will
Not Wed.
Runaway Mamie Odom, who find
an undesired marriage at her home
In Senoia. Ga.. related for the edifi
cation of the sergeant and policemen
at the station Wednesday the quali
fications. her husband-to-be must
have.
Mamie is 21, but looks 17. She is
attractive and has the bloom that re
sults from living much in the open
air. for she has lived all her life on
her father’s farm.
First of all, she cuts down the list
of eligibles fearfully by saying that
the man who marries her must be
wealthy.
Then she sweep? away most of the
remainder who might seek her hand
by stipulating that her husband must
not drink intoxicating liquors in any
form.
Flees Proposed Marriage.
Mamie’s father wanted her to mar
ry a young man he had picked out for
her. She manifested her disapproval
of his choice by promptly leaving
home and coming to Atlanta to live.
With a girl comrade, Mary Couch,
she went to Sunday school last Sun
day, played the organ as usual and
taught a Sunday school class. Her
religions duties concluded, she and
Mary went down the railroad track a
short distance to where the train
stopped and a short time later were
in Atlanta.
They .went, to room at 74 Nelson
Street, where they had some girl
friends. But the (’ouch girl’s father
became aware of their whereabouts
.tnd came to get his daughter last
Monday. Later, J. D. Odom, the fa
ther of Mamie, learned that the run
away girl was here and notified the
police. She is held at the station
waiting his arrival.
"They want me to marry a fellow
I don’t like,” she told the sergeant.
"He’s a very nice young man and all
of the older people like him, but I
don’t care for him enough to marry
him.
Bars Men Who Drink.
"There’s another' young man that I
am going with whom l like much bet
ter, but he drinks once in a while and
J never will marry a man that drinks.
"I’m not ready to marry yet, and
the man that I marry must have lots
of money. He must be wealthy and
he must never drink. I wish my fa
ther had let me stay here. I like it
better in the city than in the country,
any way. • I wanted to work for a
while before I' began to think of mar
rying."

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
i ases made by Deputy Warden M. F.
Boisclair, which precipitated the ac
tual defiance of the law.
Warden Mercer said Banks Pond
has ton* 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. Boisclair. 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 inind, and I was constantly
cautioned that my life was in danger;
that 1 would be shot from ambush or
mobbed at night in the home of Mr.
Berryhill or assassinated openly on
the streets or road.
"1 was told by several, at least one
of them 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 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, w’ho was
standing on the . porch, immediately
began to abuse me. I did not know
who lie 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 leadiflg the as
sault on me with gestures and vile
epithets, the crowd became menac
ing.
"When I 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 1
had one, except as a mere surmise.
“But for the timely arrival of
County Warden T. J. Luke, 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
1 am sure the law will be vindicated.”
