Body Loaded With Poison
Meanwhile, a toxicologist report
from Duke university revealed
that the body of Mrs. Dou's third
husband, Harley Lanning, whom
she has admitted poisoning,
was “loaded with arsenic.”
Page said no decision had been
reached there Thursday if Mrs.
Doss would be charged with that
murder.
The body of the poisoner’s moth-
er, Mrs. Louisa Holden Hagio, has
been exhumed but findings of the
autopsy probably will not be known
before Friday. Mrs. Hagle died
while the accused woman was
“nursing her back to health” dur-
ing an illness
Second Autopsy Asked
One of Mrs. Dou’s daughters,
Mrs. Melvina Hedrick of Lexing-
ton requested the autopsy on Mrs.
Hagle and has also requested that
officers exhume the body of her
son, Robert Lee Higgens.
The son died in Jacksonville,
Ala., in July, 1945, while Mrs. Dou
was living there with another hus-
band-Frank Harrelson—she hu
admitted poisoning.
Page and Owens plan to drive
to Jacksonville after completing
the Lexington end of the investi-
gation to begin an investigation
into the deaths of the Higgens boy
and Harrelson.
Although admitting the poison
deaths of four of her husbands,
Mrs. Dou has stoutly denied
harming any of “my blood kin."

Hulett resigned to become Mr.
Alexander's personal representa-

umpsign for the U. S. senate

She was charged there with the
rat poison death at her fourth hus-
band, Richard L. Morton sr. She
met Morton on a cross-country bus
trip and married him shortly after-
wards.
She fed him rat poison in his
food and the autopsy showed his
body contained enough arsenic to
“kill 10 men.”
Mrs. Dou, whose favorite meth-
od of dispatching husbands was
by putting rat poison in their cof-
fee, became in herself Wednesday
after drinking a cup of coffee. She

Police Chief Roy Bergman said
his gambling raiders would contin-

Jerry’s Recrestion parlor, just
across the alley north of the coun-
ty courthouse, was the only one of
the four establishments visited
where there were no free-game
pinball machines.
Their two machines apparently
are just the flashing lights and

ment Compared to the free-game
variety, pinball enthusiasts find
them not very entertaining.
Evidence Sought
Roy Bergman, named permanent
police chief Wednesday after five
months as acting head of the po-
lice department, uid he wu
aware the pinballs are “moving
back in.”
“They’ve not been back very
darned long, though,” he said. “If
you’ll just give us a couple of
days, we’ll have them out I want-
ed to put a couple of new police-
men to playing them so we could
get evidence to pick them up.”
Bergman said the machines
started reappearing about 45 days
ago after last spring’s drive
against them. Police drove them
away, but now they're back.
“If you don’t keep after them,
they’ll come back every time," the
police chief said. “We’re going to
pick up some of them and scatter
them again but I can’t say how
long they’ll stay scattered. We’re
not going to let them stay."
Connection Denied
James F. Boyle, bolder of city
licenses on s number of amuse-
ment machines, Thursday, denied
any connection with Dixie Sales
Co. Four of the five machines
played by reporters, however, list-
ed Dixie Sal-s as the place to call
for service on them.
The telephone directory lists the
same address, 522 NW 3, and the
same telephone number, RE 6-5631,
for Dixie Sales Co. and Boyle
Amusement Co
Boyle said he did not share an
office with Dixie Sales Co. and
himself had no pinball machines
operating now.
However, a city license inspec-
tor said, “Oh, that’s Boyle," when
asked about Dixie Sales Co.
Ray Long, assistant city clerk in

his records show no amusement
