PITZEL'S BODY
Or, Rather, the One Supposed to Be His, Will Be Examined.
PHILADELPHIA, PA., Nov. 23.--It was definitely ascertained to-day that the body buried for that of B. F. Perry, or Pitzel, which was found in a house on Callowhill street early in September, will again be exhumed and another effort made to identify it.
It is said that the teeth of the corpse had several striking peculiarities which Mrs. Pitzel should readily recognize if she was ever familiar with her husband's teeth. Several of them are missing and some overlapped each other.
Holmes and Mrs. Pitzel were removed from the central station to prison to-day.
