Philadelphia, Sept. 1 - The decapitated body of B. F. Pitzel [sic], one of the supposed victims of H. H. Holmes, was again exhumed from the American Mechanics' cemetery by the coroner's physicians. The coffin, with its ghastly burden, was carried into the toolshed of the cemetery, but the utmost vigilance was maintained to keep the object of the exhumation a secret. It was subsequently learned that one of the bones of the leg had been removed and the body reinterred.
