Fingerprlnts to
be Questioned

Nassau, Bahamas, July Tins
As a legal battle doomed on the
admissibility OF fngerprints as evil
dence, Alfred de Marigny was to
be arraigned today in connection
wit the murder OF his multi.mil.
lionaire father.in-law, Sir Harry
Cakes.
a new and sensational turn OF
events developed in the mystery
ye-terdsy when a plane carrying
Sir Harry's body 10 Miami was
recalled and the remains returned
to the autopsy room OF the Nassau
Hospital
A coroners hearing. which was
held last week soon after the
American.born Baronet's body was
found in his Nassau home, reported
that Sir Harry was bludgeoned TO
death. His body, it added, was
found in a bed which had been par.
TALLY burned before an electric fan
extinguished the fire.
The inquest is scheduled to be re-
sumed tomorrow. but whether IL

fingerprints allegedly correspond

On this point hinges the possibi-
lily of legal battle over admissi-
bility of such evidence.
The supreme court of the islands
never has ruled on the admissible
ity OF fingerprint evidence, auth
critics pointed out, although there
have been two recent convictions
in Nassau magistrates court on
Il , basis OF such evidence.
Whether the expected legal fight
will begin at todays preliminary
hearing, or will be reserved for
possible trial in supreme court, was
not determined.
Accused Of Quarrel
Marigny, native of the British
Indian Ocean Island Of Nautilus
where he sometimes went under
the title OF count, is accused of
having a bitter quarrel with his
father:in-law just a week before
the tragedy.
Police charged that Marigny fail.

he has spent several restless nights
at Jail where he was visited by the
prison physician.
Sir Harry's body was to have
been flown to Miami. thence on

and daughter await its arrival.
