the three alienists said. "He thought
he was the super sheik Of the twenu-

be thrown down by any woman"
That Mccoy did possess a strange
fascination for women was demon

eighth wife. who visited the apart

were living at the time Of the lat

Mors Cleared
Reyes said Monday night after in
vestigating Mors that he was now
satisfied with the latter's alibi that
he had retired at II p. m. on the
night Mrs. Mors was found dead.
Ills statement was corroborated
by the manager Of the hotel where
he makes his home" Keyes said.
Investigation of Mors followed

on the night of the alleged crime and
behaved in a visibly agitated man
