FIANCE OF DEAD GIRL
r FREED AFTER AUTOPSY
COUNTY PHYSICIAN FINDS
DROWNING CAUSE.
Bruises and Scratches Found
on Body of Dead Girl
Natural.

Patterson, N. j., July 31.-Lester
Decker, fiance of Miss Mabel Harris
whose body was recovered from
Pompton river yesterday afternoon
after her disappearance Sunday night,
was released from custody today.
An autopsy performed. by County
Physician Anderson convinced
Assistant Prosecutor Hunson that
Miss Harries had been drowned and
that Decker's story that she lost her
life when their canoe was carried
over the Pompton Lake dam, was
true. Anderson's examination dis
closed little water in the girls lungs
but the county physician said today
that he thought this condition might
have been caused by her fainting or
being stunned by being thrown
against, the rocks.
The bruises on Miss Harris body
and the scratches on her cheeks were
attributed to the fact that she was
tossed against the rocks below the
dam by strong current. Members
of her family expressed confidence in
younk Decker's innocence after the
autopsy.
Decker explained the absence of the
girls shoes by saying that she had
removed them in the canoe for COM
fort.
Decker was not informed until this
morning of the finding of the girls
body. After his release he visited
the Office of County Prosecutor Dun
and told the prosecutor he could al
ways find him at the Harris home II
he were needed in any subsequent
investigation.
