Body of Millionaire, Who Died After Being At- tended by “Dr.” Flower, Is Turned Over to Chem- ists for Analysis. STRANGE DETECTIVES WATCH Acting Under Orders from Dis- trict-Attorney Jerome Chem- ists Are Reticent About What Appearance of Body Indicates. 1 to The Evening World.) POUGHKEEPSI£, Maroh 13.—The body of Theodore Hagaman, who died under peculiar circumstances at the Waldort- Astoria, New York City, two years ago, was disinterred to-day and the vital organs removed for chemical examina- tion to ascertain, if posalble, whether his death resulted from the causes set forth in the death certificate, ‘There is a suspicion that he may have been polsoned. His brother Isaac el- leges that nono of the members of his family was admitted to the sick-room while he was ill. His death involves Dr." R. C. Flower, who induced Mrs. Hagaman, now Mrs. Delabarre, to invest $350,000 in the min- ing enterprise on account of which Flower was arrested “Dr.” Flower was his physician. Dr. Otto Schultz and Prof. Rudolph Witthaus, of New York, had charge of the disinterment arid autopsy. While they were engaged in the work in the offices of the Rural Cemetery, three strange men arrived at the scene and mingled with the crowd of natives ‘who hung about in morbid curiosity. ‘The men tried ito pes into thé win- dows to see what was going on, but were thwarted by Dr. Schultz, who drew the curtains. One of the men was rec- ognized as a Pinkerton detective. He and one of the others admitted that they were detectives, but refused to say why they were there or by whom they were employed. They pretended not to be acquainted with each other. Tt was surmised that some one who feared an attempt might bé made to charge him or her with causing the death of Hagaman was taking care be- fore hand to see how the evidence in any: possible prosecution was being gathered. The autopsy lasted three hours. All the organs of the body were removed and taken away by Prof. Witthaus, Neither he por Dr. Schultz would say @ word as to the result of their work or what the appearance of the body indicated, explaining that they were under orders from the District-Attorney of New York not to reveal anything found by them. The investigatine party arrived from New York this morning. In addition to the two physicians and Isaac Hagaman, it consisted of Stephen |'Bevins, the New York undertaker, who puried the body; James Hall, who em- balmed ft; Robert Graham, a local stenographer, and the detectives, hey found the grave already open. ‘The casket containing the body of Theo- dore Hagaman was taken out and driven in a wagon to the offices of the ceme- tery. 1t was opened there and Isaac Hagaman identified the body as that of ‘nis brother, He wept at the sight, He was corroborated in his identification by the undertaker and embalmer, The ‘body was said to be in a comparatively good state of preservation. Dr. Witthaus then proceeded, with the help of Dr. Schultz, to remove the organs neressary for the chemical analysis to etermine the presence of poison in the body. It is known that arsenic is there because that was used in the embalming fluid S$ GOING TO RAIN TO-MORROW. And the Day After, of Course, Since It will B 7.

SULLY GETS OUT OF THe COTTON PIT. Bull Leader Took No In- terest in To-Day’s Trad- ing, but Denies the Re- port that He Has Aban- doned All Speculation. CHANGES ENTIRE POLICY. Heretofore He Has Constantly Insisted that Prices Were Go- ing Higher, but Now Refuses Even to Say He Is a Bull. Tt was reported on the Cotton Ex- change to-day that Daniel Sully, the bull leader who has been fighting so hard to keep the market up, haa con- cluded that the attempt cannot be suc- day and bought no cotton, where pre viously he had taken wll that was of- fered, no matter whether on a rising or falling market. Mr. Sully was een this afternoon by an Evening World reporter and asked “ it was true that he contemplated abandoning speculation on the New York Cotton Exchange and going back to Providence. “There is absotutely no truth fn it,” replied Mr. Sully, “Is it true that you are no longer a bull in cotton and believe that the mar- ket 1s going down?” he was asked. “That 19 & question I must refuse to answer,” Mr, Sully responded. Not Like the Former Sully. Hither 0 he has never hesitated in re- itera his belief that cotton would go higher and expressing '& jjillingness, as Tepen' edly announced that there was @ short- age in the market and that the mills would eventually have to buy from him at his own price. ‘The practical retirement of Sully from the market to-day had the effect of making his followers feel uncertain of thelr ground. Outede speculators who have been buying because Sully was buying and shorts who were covering did most of the purchasing on the floor during the session. The market opened strong, but without support from the bulls went off from 4 to 10 points until shortly after noon, when’ outside buying and shorts taking profits caused a rally, No confirmation could be found for a report that Sully and his crowd were selling cotton’ secretly im an effort to unload some of a tremendous load they aye long on. Most of Sully's support cones from Providence, R. I., and most of his credit 1s there, Where Does Sully Stand? Of course, it is impossibie to tell just where Sully stands on the market. Re- ports of his operations have been greatly exaggerated, but in the time since he ; took hold of the bull end of the market he has made chases, someumes the price was right, ly par- lise he thought netimes, because he had to buy to keep the market from going to pleces.

These houses were last Saturday night on evidence obtained by sleuths from Indianapolis Kansas City, brought to New York by Commissioner Greene. The next day $f Inspector Brooks was called upon to explain why he did not get against these places within fifteen days after specific orders had been on Feb, 2. INSPECTOR BROOKS MAKES REPLY. In @ voluminous reply, delivered to Commissioner Greene yesterday, the Inspector explains that he got epolicemen from outlying precincts picked out the smartest men he could find in the Detective af none of them could get into gambling-houses for evidence. Then he assigned a policeman supposed to be remarkably clever wae recommended by a city Magistrate, and this policeman failed. He got @ from Jersey City who spent two weeks loafing around the Tenderloin ts to be invited to a gambling house, and not an invitation did he get. The Inspector admits that he had a force of 7,000 men to choose but he submitted to the Commise‘oner that very few of these men are able for getting evidence against gambling houses “owing to their appearance and lack of knowledge of the ways,of the gambling Inspector Brooks also says that to get evidence it is necessary for p men to pose as residents of anvther city, and so few of them have ever outside of New York that 7,000 available men shrink to an in figure, B 2 ‘The Inapesior intimates that an extremely small proportion of pi |City or Indianapolis or other Western cities are, to say nothing of being able to talk about them, Again, a policeman in a short time acquires mate nerisms that can be spotted in a second by the wise gamblers. DETECTIVES CAN'T FOOL THEM, Members of the Detective Bureau, the Inspector says, are so well) known that to try to fool gamblers with them is out of the question, besides, they are kept busy with other work that is just as necessary as the suppression of gambling-houses, In reply to the report of Inspector Brooks, Commissioner Greene handed him the following note when he reached headquarters to-day; , | March 18, 1908," 5 Inspector Nicholas Brooks, in Charge of Detective Bureau, ¥ Sir: Your report .£ March 12 has been carefully considered. te shows a complete failure on the part of the Detective Bureau under ya charge to obtain evidence against a certain class of well knowm Pains inals, Your explanation of the causes of this failure is not satisfactory, ii and you will be relieved from the charge of the Detective Bureau.
