Judge Hill created a stir toward
the close of the hearing on the ex
traordinary motion for a new trial
for Frank Monday by announcing
that he wished an order issued for
the return to Atlanta of Annle Maude
Carter, the negress who gwore for
the defemse that Conley had, con
fessed to her that he was the mur
derer of Mary Phagan,
“Detective Burns on the stand
said that it was at his suggestion
that the Carter woman was sent
from the jurisdiction of this court,”
commented the judge. *“Unless she
is returned here within five days by
the persons who sent her away, her
letters and all of the matter to
which she testified will not be con
sidered in rendering a decision on
the motion.
“1 mean no reflection on the coun
sel for the defendant when I say
this. I wish this understood.”
Dorsey Springs Sensation.
Solicitor Dorsey sprang one sensa
tion after another Monday in his fight
to prevent the granting of the ex
tracrdinary motion for a new trial for
Leo M. Frank.
Probably the most amazing was a
statement by the Rev, C. B. Ragsdale
in which the minister directly charg
ed that Attorney Arthur Thurman
had inspired the famous “confession”
affidavit and that Thurman person
ally had paid him $2OO and had paid
R. L. Barber $lOO for their signatures.
This was followed by an affidavit by
Fred Perkerson, a former convict at
the county jail, who related a con
spiracy he said had been outlined by
Dr, George Wren, also at the jail, to
visit the cell of Jim Conley, and, after
leaving, to swear that Conley had
confessed to them,
Frank Reese, a negro trusty at the
jail, swore to similar efforts on the
part of Wren to persuade him to take
part in the conspiracy. Reese said
Wren tried to persuade Conley to take
the crime on himself, saying that he
would be let off in a year or so and
get a lot of money, and that Frank
would go free, He indicated that the
Annie Maude Carter notes were a part
of a “frame-up” by Wren.
The Solicitor produced an affidavit
from Miss Helen Kerguson in which
the girl, a State's witness, said that
agents for the defense twice had en
deavored to get her to leave town,
once by an offer of money and once
by an offer of marriage from Jimmy
Wren, who made love to her under a
fictitious name.
He produced affidavits from Philip
Chambers, formerly office boy at the
National Pencil Factory, and J. M.
Gantt, also an ex-employee, swearing
that the afflants were in the office of
Frank when the desk of H. F. Becker,
formerly master mechanic at the fac
tory, was brought down into-Frank’s
office. They declared that all of the
¢ld order blanks, including the old
carbons of requisitions, such as the
Phagan murder notes were written
on, were removed from the desk and
placed in the outer office not more
than ten feet from Frank's office.
Pads Left There, They Say.
Both of them said they never had
known of the order blanks being
tuken to the basement and destroyed,
nor of pads of this sort lying around
in the basement. These aflidavits
were submitted to dispose of the de
fense's contenticn that such paas
never were in Frank's office, and could
only have been found in the basement.
R. A. Devore, a photographer for A,
K. Hawkes, also hit at the Becker
evidence by his affidavit that he hal
photographed the murder notes, with
the espectal view of bringing out the
order number on the blank on which
one of the notes was written. He de
clared that the number was 1818, and
not 1018, as the defense had con
tended,

By THOMAS P, COATES.
VERA CRUZ, May 4.—A1l the field
pleces and rapid-fire guns on the
United States warships in the Vera
Crus harbor were taken ashore to
day and parked on Sanidad wharf for
distribution to repel any attack which
might be made by the 10,600 Federals
under General Gustavo Maas.
Reconnoitering parties reported to
Brigadier General Frederick Funston,
the military governor, that there are
4,000 Federals at Soledad, 5,000 more
at Jalapa and a force of 1,500 at El
Palma., Jalapa and El Palme are on
the Interoceanic Railway, respective
ly 80 and 55 miles north of Vera Crus.
QGeneral Funston came to the con
clusion that the artillery supporting
the soldiers of the Fifth Brigade was
insufficient, so he consulted with Rear
Admirals Fletcher and Badger and it
was decided to land the light artil
lery of the fleet. Orders were ulso
issued to the commanders of the va
rious American men-of-war to be
ready to land their full complements
of fighting men at a moment's notice.
Cruiser Taking Dead Home.
The cruiser Montana, which left
for New York bearing the bodies of
seventeen sailors and marines who
were killed in the taking of the city,
is expected to arrive at her destina
tion next Saturday, unless she en
counters bad weather,
1t is believed that the hospital ship
will be ordered into United States
waters some time this week. There
are more than 100 sick and wounded
marines and sallors on the Solace,
and these men will probably be
transferred to the United States,
where the chances of thelr recovery
will be strengthened.
Reports from the Capital this
morning are to the effect that Huerta
reiterates his determination to re
main dictator and that he is continu
ing war. preparations under -difficul
ties because of lack of money.
A French qofficer left here to-day
for Mexico City upon a special train,
giving rise to a recurrence of the re
port that Huerta has opened nego
tlations for the purpose of taking
refuge on the French cruiser Conde,
if he decides to flee.
Rumor Attack ls Planned.
The French Consul, M. Brouzet, re
turned to this city and conferred to
day with W, W. Canada, the United
States Consul. A Mexican refugee
reported to Mr. Canada that General
Maas has received reinforcements of
artillery and that a rumor is current
that he will move against Vera Cruz
and bombard the eity.
The American outpost guarding the
waterworks at El Tejar has been
gtrengthened as a result of the de
mand made by Mexican Federals that
the pumping station be surrendered,
It is likely that a cavalry patrol will
be estabiished along the outer lines
to reinforce the outpests, as Mexican
guerrillas are becoming bolder and
have now cut off all the shipments of
provisions which were formerly
prought into the city from the land
side,
Advices brought here by mail from
Mexico City report that the Puebla
State government has seized all the
property of the Waters-Plerce oil
Company in the city of Puebla. This
Includes hundreds of cases of 01l and
large tanks, valued at several hun
dred thousand dollars. There is no
official confirmation of the report.
Railway Men Arrested.
Three American railway men were
arrested at Mexico City last week
after they had boarded & train for
Vera Cruz, and are now held incom
municado at Villa Guadaloupe, ac
cording to refugees who arrived in
camp to-day.
They stated that San Luis Potosi
had been sacked and abandoned by
the Federal garrison there, but that
all foreigners had escaped safely. The
garrison mutinied and looted the en
tire city, but made no attempt to in
terfere with the American and Brit
ish citizens who fled to Mexico City,
