Former Policeman Starr,

Alonzo Buck Fletcher, negro
porter Of the Liggett drug store,
IN the Westory Building, was
released by the police yesterday
afternoon, following rigid in
.estigation which convinced the
police that he had no connection
with the murder Of Emmett Z,
Wood, soda fountain clerk, a mys-
terry attracting nationwide atten-
ton.
Especial attention was directed
toward Fletcher when he failed
to report to work the morning
the body Of Wood was found
dead, his skull crushed, in the
basement Of the Westory Building
Saved by Finger Prints.
Fletcner's innocence was estab-
lished partly by finger prints found
on the three-foot iron bar used as
,the death weapon. The rough sur
face OF the bar, it was thought at
frst- would make the taking of I'm
ger prints impossible. but tedious ef-
