Dentist Recognizes Fill

Wrapped in heavy sacking and inch
deep in chloride of lime to deaden the
odor of decomposition, the head, left
the late Mrs. Besold spent their first
night in the witness room of the court
house last night, awaiting the day
in the near future when they will be
taken into court as evidence against
Anton Besold, charged with murder.
Yesterday the body was exhumed at
Rose Lawn cemetery, Santa Monica, by
county officers, and the grewsome evil
dence which is to be produced in court
secured
Since the first days Of the trial, when
Anton Besold had been brought back
to Los Angeles and attorneys secured
to represent him, there has been the
strong contention by the mans attor-
neys that the decompOsed body found
in the Temescal canyon was not that
of Mrs. Glade Besold.
Since Besold's arraignment in the
lower court his attorneys have been
trying to secure an order to eXhume
the body of the woman. They had not
seen the remains and they contended
it was their right TO see them.
Orders Body Exhumed
The clothes found on the body were
positively identified weeks ago, and at
last to satisfy the attorneys Justice
Young issued the order for the body to
be eXhumed.
It has been contended that the bones
of the left forearm had been scraped
and that If the body was really that
of Mrs Besold the bones of the skele-
ton would show marks Of that opera
tion.
Yesterday morning Deputy District
Attorney McComas Autopsy Surgeon
George w. Campbell DR.. N. c. Duns-
more. DIR. N. c. Brown and Deputy
Sheriff Charles Gilbert, representing
the state. made the trip to the ceme-
terry. the Santa Monica potter's field
where the remains had been inferred.
The grave had already been opened
and the casket reached at a depth of
six feet when the officers arrived. The
attorneys for the defense, Attorneys
Fred Thompson and LeCompte Davis.
did not appear until after the body had
been buried, but il was exhumed for
their inspection.
When the casket, which was I'm a fair
state OF preservation considering the
condition Of the soil near the sea. had
been lifted and opened, the officers be-

gan their work as rapidly as possible.
The body, which had been almost eaten
away by decomposition before burial,
had become mummified. There was
scarcely any flesh and the skin was
black and drawn tight over the bones,
which in spots showed through the
covering.

Doctor Identifies Bandage

Dr. Brown had attended Mrs. Besold
before her disappearance and but a
few days before her alleged murder he
had wrapped a bandage about her arm
where she had recently been operated
upon for the removal of tubercular
flesh.
AS soon as the casket was opened
the officers found the rubber garters
which were thought to be missing and
piece of broken comb. The body still
wore shoes and stockings.
AS soon as DR.. Brown examined the
body he made discovery which made
the Identification of the remains abso-
lutely positive. On the left arm of
the mummy, wrapped loosely around
the shrunken and decomposed member,
was the white bandage placed on the
arm of Mrs. Besold two days before her
disappearance and death.
In the presence of witnesses, before
he made further examination, DR..
Brown gave testimony and description
of the safetypin he had used to pin
the bandage about Mrs. Besold's arm.
He had used a peculiar brand of pin
which he kept in his office. When the
safetypin on the bandage of the num-
my was examined 1t was found to tally
In description exactly with that given
by the physician.
Bone Is Scraped
A further examination of the left
arm showed the bones of the forearm
to show plainly the marks of the scrap
ing operation. An examination of the
right clavicle bone showed plainly an
old fracture of that bone which had
been improperly set. Mrs. Besold had
had that bone examined by DR.. Brown
Iraxr L. too
and another link was whipped into the
identification.
The skull was the last portion of the
body to be examined. The contention
of attorneys for the defense that the
holes in the skull were ear holes was
set aside when the bullet holes were
found to be i'm the front of the skull,
the ball having entered in the left tenn
pie and plowed through and out the
right side of the skull. Deputy Gilbert
fitted a 3S-caliber bullet from his gun
in the entry hole in the skull and the
fit was perfect.
Dentist Identifies Teeth
DR.. N. w. Goodman then took charge
of the body and examined the teeth.
He extracted several of them from the
skull and examined the filings, which
corresponded TO filings which Mrs Be
sold was known to have had placed in
her teeth.
At the conclusion Of the examination
Autopsy Surgeon Campbell. DR.. Brown
ard Officer Alfred Trident sawed off
Mrs. Besold's head and 1t was given
to the care of DR.. Brown. The right
clavicle bone and bones OF the left
forealm were also sawed Off
Upon the arrival OF Besol1's attor-
neys the body was again removed and
the feet were sawed on and added 10
the evidence. Quicklime was then
poured I'm the coffin and Il was buried
