Nor was Gordon taken on the night of the injuries to a physician, as was stated. He was ta- ken to a dentist. but not to a physi- clan.
 Hardie McGehee emphasizes the fact that he had nothing to do with the story of the injuries to his brother be- coming public. nor with their appear ance in print.
 The Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity Is taking active charge of the matter, seemingly determined that no stone shall be left unturned to ascertain who were the guilty members of the fra ternity. and to provide for their pun ishment. The entire matter was gone over at the meeting of the local alumni chapter Thursday afternoon, although Gordon McGehee was not present.
 It Is stated that the object which Gordon McGehee ran into when com nanded to run by his hazers. while blindfolded. was an iron fence. It was in his contact with this fence that he received his injuries.
