HACKETT IS HEIR.
NEW YORK, March 4.-—James iK.
Hackett need not delight audiences
with Shakespearean roles any more
if he does not want to, To-day the
actor is heir to at least $1,000,000 of
the estate of his niece, Mrs. Minnie
Hackett Trowbrid e,
The fact that the actor will inherit
this sum .. all the more remarkable
because Mrs Trowbridge had always
refused {o see him or have anything
to do with the man who will come
into a big part of the fortune of
$2,500,000 she left. The antagonism to
the actor dates back to a family feud
of €0 years' standing.
The only will left by the woman
made her husband the heir. He died
about three years ago, and mental
weakness on the part of the woman
prevented her from making a naw
decumen’. Hackett is the next of kin.

New Steps Are Pretty, and Denunciation Makes
Them More Popular, She Declares,
MRS FUTRELLE — WEEKLY .. ..
The end of the wave of criticism
sweeping the country, in so far as it
affects the so-called ‘new dances”
and feminine fashions, is seen by Mrs,
Jacques Futrelle, widow of the fa
mous writer who was lost in the Ti
tanic disaster, and herself an author.
She is in Atlanta for a #eek's stay
with her mother, Mrs. J. T. Peel, of
No. 54 West Fourth street.
Mrs., Futrelle thinks the launching
diatribes against such dances as the
tango, the one-step, the hesitation
and others, and the holding up of
hands in righteous horror because
woman dares dress becomingly, com
fortably and as she pleases, is but
the cropping out of the instinctively
human desire to be forever talking
about something. She thinks criti
cism itself has.gotten to be more of
a fad than any_of the things criti
cised.

GUARD EVIDENGE
FOR THE DEFENSE
.
Vital Affidavits Just Obtained
. .
for Use in Preparing the
' '
Extraordinary Motion. |
In his cell at the Fulton County
Tower Leo M. Frank Tuesday began his
work of aiding his attorneys in the
preparation of the plea for a new trial,
which will be filed with Judge Ben lill,
of the Superior Court, about ten days
before the time set for his exeqution,
April 17.
Frank is reviewing the new evidence
secured by his attorneys, and is expect
ed to hold a conference with his law
vers Tuesday that he might incorporate
his own ideas into the motion for a new
trial of his case.
Rumors that the defense has obtained
a number of new affidavits were cur
rent Tuesday, but Attorneys Luther
Rosser and Reuben Arnold were uncem
municative.
' New Evidence Withheld.
It is known, however, that the defense
has in its possession considerable new
evidence that has not been made pub
lic, and that the many conferences be
tween Frank and his lawyers are for
the purpose of acquainting I'rank with
the developments and securing his aid in
the preparation of the new plea.
One of the reports of new evidence
current Tuesday was that the defense
has obtained an affidavit from a negro
at LaGrange, 154 Ross, who is said to
have seen Jim Conley washing blood
lfrmyl his hands on the day of the trog
edy,
Solicitor Dorsey is said to be collect
ing evidence to disprove Ross' story,
and he is said to have a number of
letters and affidavits from citizens of
LaGrange attacking the negro's charac
ter,
"That Solicitor Dorsey is working hard
to combat the new evidence unearthed
by the defense is evident from the nu
merous conferences that the Solicitor
has had recently with detectives who
worked on the case, particularly Camp
bell argd Starnes, who were instrumental
in collecting the evidence that convict
ed, Frank. None of the trio will talk
about the Solicitor's attitude toward the
new developments.
Frank Studies Taft Speech.
Frank is expected to issue another
statement from the Tower soon, based
on the address delivered in Boston by
former President William H. Taft last
Friday, when he declared that many
innocent men have been convicted by
public clamor.
Mr. Taft declared that he had had te
pardon several men because they had
been convicted in this manner, althoughy
they Were innocent of crime, It is un
derstood that in his statement IFrank
will endeavor to parallel his own case
with those cited by Mr. Taft.
The return of Detective William J,
Burns to Atlanta during the week is ex
pected to result in important develop
ments in theecase, Burns aiready has
conferred with Frank and secured the
condemned man's story, and it is un
derstood he has a number of clews to
work on immediately upon his return.
C. W. Burke, an agent for Luther
‘l{omu-r, of Frank's counsel, returned
Tuesday from Jacksonville, Fla., where
he has been for several days on"a mis
‘sion said to be connected with the
iT'runk case,
