Having learned a valuable lesson from the Mary Phagan murder, Chief Beavers will teach his men what to do in the event bodies are found in the future.

The chief's instructions will be for the discoverer to keep hands off everything including garments of the corpse until finger print experts have reached the scene. The value of fingerprint evidence, says the chief, is inestimable in modern investigation.

Until Bertillon methods are installed in the police department, the chief says, federal experts will be employed in future cases.
