V J VOLUME XII. ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, MAY 30, 1913. NO. 71. SHROUD FOUL PLAY Mrs, Sarah C, Stevens and Her Adopted Daughter, Nel lie, Identified in Two Bodies Nearly Incinerated On a secluded hillside two miles be yond the federal prison on the McDon ough road, the nearly incinerated and totally unrecognizable body of Mrs. Sarah C. Stevens, forty years old, was found among the ashes of her house early Wednesday morning. Beside it lay the body, equally as charred, of her adopted daughter, fourteen-year-old Nellie Stevens. Her son, Wade Stevens, aged nineteen, was nowhere to be found. A quarrel is alleged to have occurred between him and his mother Tuesday afternoon. The home was burned completely at some unknown time during Tuesday night. William Stevens, the father of the household and a Confederate vet eran seventy years old, was in Chatta nooga at the United Confederate Veter ans’ reunion. Tjie son. Wade, has not been seen since 6 o’clock Tuesday afternoon, and only two bodies have been found among the blackened ruins, both of which have been identified satisfactorily as those of the mother and the daughter by the coroner and by the former county phy sician of.DeKalb county, Dr. Frank Eskridge. Beside the bodies were found the metal pieces of a single-barreled shot gun. It had been discharged. It lay between the two bodies with its butt pointing toward the side of the ruins where the door had stood. With Wade Stevens under arrest by an Atlanta city detective in Chattanooga and due to arrive in Atlanta Thursday afternoon, with William Stevens, head of the household, home from the Con federate reunion and unaware until he arrived in Atlanta that he had suffered any greater loss than the burning of his house, and with two negroes, one an Indian half-breed, both of whom had worked at the Stevens house, suspected by Mr. Stevens and some of the neigh bors, the mystery of the death of Mrs. Sarah C. Stevens and her adopted daughter, Nellie, and the burning of their bodies in their home on the Mc Donough road Tuesday night seemed to have cleared just a little Thursday aft ernoon. Wade Stevens, whose arrest was or dered by the coroner’s jury of DeKalb county Wednesday afternoon for sus picion in connection with the myste rious death and burning of Mrs. Sa rah C. Stevens and Nellie Stevens, her adopted daughter, was arrested in Chattanooga Thursday morning by -C*-*.-Detective John Black,' of Atlan ta, and the detective reported to Chief B avers over long distance telepnone, that the youth was anxious tq -return t' Atlanta.. A telegram from Chief Beavers to Detective Black Wednesday .afternoon h^-d the foregoing result. The detec tive was there, as were numrous oth ers from various southern cities, with an eye o. on fpr notorious crooks who would flock to a big gathering like th old soldiers’ reunion. Detective Black did not recount the details of the capture, it seemed, but merely informed the chief that he had r» rested Wade Stevens, and that Wade seemed anxious to come back at»once when he heard of the tragedy, and that they would catch a train down from Chattanooga some time during the early afternoon, arriving here perhaps before dark. BELIEVES SON INNOCENT. That he believes Wade, his own son, did not kill Mrs. Sallie C.. Stevens, his wife, and Nellie Stevens, their adopted daughter, was one of the first utter ances of William Stevens, the stricken husband and father, immediately after he arrived Thursday morning from the Confederate reunion at which he had been mingling once more with his old comrades-at-arms in Chattanooga. Mr. Stevens stated further that he was convinced that Wade was in Chat tanooga Wednesday morning at about the hour when a passing dairyman on the McDonough road near Atlanta no ticed the smoke from the ashes of the Stevens home. The landlady whose guest he was at 1166 Roswell avenue, Chattanooga, but whose name he did not remember, told him Wednesday, said he, that she had. seen Wade at 6 o’lock 'Wednesday morn, ing passing on the opposite side of the avenue in front of her house. Wade was with two other boys, she told Mr. Stevens. She knew Wade because he, Wade, had stopped with her previously on a visit to Chattanooga. The landlady’s given name is Mary, remembers Mr. Stevens. His 'elder son, Ed Stevens, son by his first wife, lives there, and Wade has stopped there for that reason. Mr. Stevens stated further that Wade drove him to Atlanta in a buggy last Sunday and on their way in Wade told him that he, Wade, might be in Chat tanooga before the reunion was over. Mr. Stevens asked to see the bodies of his wife and adopted daughter. The gruesome sight of the charred remains moved him profoundly, but he manifest ed little emotion outwardly. There was strong pathos in the scene—the seventy- year-old veteran of a fearful war, look ing down upon the almost incinerated ^remains of two whom he held dear. “We’ve all got to. die some time,*’ said he, “but it's mighty awful to have to die like that.” Mr. Stevens arrived at 10:50 o’clock Thursday morning at the Union depot, but was missed there by the newspaper men and officers who were awaiting him. A few minutes later he appeared alone at the undertaking stablishment of H. M. Patterson & Ron on Forsyth street. At 11:35 o’clock Mr. Stevens started for the ruins upon which he left his home standing, on McDonough road, two miles beyond the federal prison. SUSPECT SEEN. Someone in Red Oak, Ga., called the Atlanta police headquarters Friday morning and said that a mulatto negro, answering the description of the alleged half-breed Indian employed by Mrs. Stevens, was seen walking along the railroad tracks in the vicinity of that town early Friday morning. \The city police claim that the negro’s name is Dan Walker, and that he is well known to them. He is just a mulatto, who has the apperance, they say, of having Indian blood. Notices have been sent to Palmetto, Newburn and other points on the road to lookout for such a party. Five Witnesses Testify for Roosevelt in Libel Suit Against Michigan Editor (By Associated Press.) MARQUETTE. Mich., May 29.—Five witnesses for Colonel Theodore Roose velt, including a relative; a former member of the Rough Riders regi ment; a former locomotive fireman; a newspaper man and a former judge, testified today in Colonel Roosevelt’s suit for libel against George A. New- ett, the Ishpeming newspaper owner. Each of the witnesses asserted that the colonel was only a moderate user of intoxicants. The substance of the testimony as given by Phi.ip Roosevelt, a young son of the colonel’s cousin; Charles Willis Thompson, a New York news paper man; Andrew A. Abele, a former locomotive fireman; Edwin Emerson, a Cuban Rough Rider campaigner, and A. Z. Blair, a former common pleas judge of Ohio, was: That during his capaign in Cuba with the Rough Riders Colonel Roose velt drank only black coffee and wa ter and never liquor of any kind. That during his political campaign the colonel drank champagne occasion ally and never to excess. That while Colonel Roosevelt kept a large and va ried supply of wines at his home, he never indulged in them immoderately. “He kept a regular gentleman’s cel lar,” Philip Roosevelt said. Colonel Roosevelt, as usual since the beginning of the hearing, listened with the keenest interest to th e witness’ de nial that he frequently “got drunk” as charged In the editorial published by the defendant. •Charles Willis Thompson, of New York, for nine years a Washington cor respondent and since 1908 a political writer for a New York newspaper, tes tified first. “As Washington correspondent,” he said, “I used to go to the White House to see Mr. Roosevelt. I saw him usual ly alone, some times in the morning and some times in the afternoon, usually In his office, but some times,' when, in or der to lose not a minute in his work, he received visitors while lying in the barber chair. I never detected the odor of liquor on his breath, never saw hiiff in the slightest degree under the influ ence of liquor and never saw his man ner in any way changed from its ordi nary one.” “Ever go on any trips with him?” “I was with him on his 11,000-mile swing ;^ound the country last year, which lasted a month. I afterward joined him at Mercy hospital, Chica go, when he was shot; stayed there until he went to Oyster Bay, went there with him and stayed there until election. Two weeks after he was shot in Mil waukee he went to New York on two occasions to address large mass meet ings, and I went with him and reported tbPOftV: * 11L FOB POLITIC!!.

Negro's Head Stops Ten Story Flight of Brick Which Smashes (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, May 29.-William Moore, a negro, was annoyed by a head ache today, when physicians expected he would have been occupying space in the morgue. He stopped a brick yesterday after it had fallen ten storihes and was traveling with the velocity of a cannon ball. When it hit Moore on the top of his head, it broke into bits. Moore sat down suddenly and apparently was a subject of the coroner. Workmen on the building trom which the brick dropped sent for a physician. When the doctor arrived Moore sat up. CUBAN MILITIA ARRIVES TO HONOR MAINE VICTIMS (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, May 29.—The protected cruiser Cuba arrived early today, bear ing representatives of the Cuban gov ernment, army and navy to pay trib ute here to the memory of the United States sailors who perished when the battleship Maine was blown up in Ha# vana harbor, fifteen years ago. By special permission from the state, as in such a case, the Cuban forces will be welcomed ashore under -arms tomorrow to participate in a parade preceding the dedication of a monument to the Maine’s dead. The welcome of booming guns from twelve dreadnoughts of the United States North' Atlantic fleet awaited the visiting warship when she proceeded from the quarantine station up to the Hudson river anchorage under escort of the gunboat Yankton, to be boarded later in the day by an official reception committee and to send ashore her own delegation to pay respects to Mayor Gaynor. In addition to three special envoys and the usual naval force, the cruiser brought a battalion of coast artillery and a military band to participate in the parade. The men include both whites and blacks, discrimination as to color having been ruled against by President Menocal. The Cuba is an American built cruis er. She was launched at the Cramps yards in Philadelphia on October 11, Cuban independence day, 1911, at the same time as the Cuban training ship Patria. The cruiser is small compared with the great fighting machines among which she found herself in the Hudson. She is a 2,200 ton vessel, 265 feet in length and with 39 beam. Her arma ment consists of four six-pounders, four three-pounders and four one-pound ers, and her complement is 105 men. DETECTIVES SEEK F COimS TO IY They Declare That They Are Anxious to Get at the Truth of the Murder Case, Regard less of Who Is Guilty Little if any credence is placed by the city detectives in the theory of the officials and employes of the National Pencil factory that Mary Phagan was killed by James Conley, the newro sweeper, and that his motive was rob bery. The detectives have accepted as true Conley’s second affidavit, in which he swears that he wrote the notes found by Mary Phagan’s body, and that he did so about 1 o’clock on the day of the murder, at the dictation of Super intendent Leo M. rank, who is now un der indictment by the grand jury. However, they are somewhat puzzled by the discrepancies in the time of cer- tai noocurr|nces as sworn by Conley and testified at the coroner’s inquest by other witnesses. Harry Scott, the Pinkerton detective wha is working with the city detectives on the Phagan murder case and who developed the iact that Conley could write, notwithstanding his denials, de clares that the shortest route to a com plete solution of the mystery is to bring the negro Conley and Superintendent Frank face to face. He says the negro insists that he is anxious and willing to confront Mr. Frank with his story, and that if Mr. Frank and his attor neys agree, they (Conley and Mr. rank) will be brought together to discuss the truth or falsity of the negro’s declara tions. Thursday afternoon the detectives will put Conley through another vigor ous interrogation, and it is said will question him as if they are convinced that he committed the murder. Failing to bring out any further incriminating admissions from him. they will, it is said, dwell upon what appear to be the weak points in his second affidavit. SURE HE WROTE NOTES. The detectives are satisfied that Con ley wrote the notes, which he admits writing. They consider the handwrit ing of these notes identical with speci mens written by Conley Wednesday, photographs of which were reproduced in The Journal Wednesday afternoon. No doubt is entertained by the de tectives concerning Conley’s admission that he was hiding in the pencil factory on the morning of the murder, for they claim to have corroborated thoroughly from ojther. witnesses certain iqci£.ents which occurred at the factory that morning, as detailed by Conley. The negro must have been there in order to observe these incidents, the detectives assert. That portion of Conley’s latest state ment which the detectives so far have been unable to corroborate, and in which the negro's declarations directly conflict with the testimony of inquest witnesses concerns his alleged visit to Superintendent Frank’s office on the day of the murder. OBSERVED TIME—12:56. Conley swears that, after remaining in hiding on the first floor just back of the stairs for nearly two hours, he was summoned upstairs to the office by Mr. Frank, who whistled for him to come up; that, as he passed the clock on the way to the office with Mr. Frank, who had him by the arm, he noticed it was exactly four minutes to 1 o’clock; that no one was in either the outer or inner office at the time; that almost imme diately after he and Mr. Frank had ar rived in the office and the latter had closed the doors leading into both of fices, footsteps were heard, and Mr. Frank bundled him into a wardrobe in the inner office and went out and con ferred with two ladies who, Mr. Frank told him, were Miss Corlnthia Hall and Mrs. Emma Freeman, employes: that he overheard the conversation between Mr. Frank and these ladies, and that Mrs. Freeman s^aid she had come for her coat, which she had left in a dressing room upstairs. THEN HE WROTE NOTES. Conley swore that when these ladies left the office, which was within a min ute or two after they arrived, Mr. Frank followed them out and was gone for about a minute, after which he return ed and closing the doors of the offices let him (Conley) out of the wardrobe and dictated the two notes to him, say ing he wanted a .sample of his hand writing; that Mr. Frank was very much excited at the time; that he kept run ning his hands through his hair and re marking in an undertone, supposely t‘o himself: “Why should I hang when I have got rich relatives;” that after the notes were written Mr. Frank pulled out a cigarette box and handed it to him; that when he opened the box he found it contained $2.50; that he called Mr. Frank’s attention to this and the latter told him to keep it, saying: “You are a good boy; I am going to send these notes to my mother in Brooklyn, N. Y., who is rich and who will probably send you something.” Read of Walker Case Took Bichloride But Is Cured By Doctor (By Associated Press.) DETROIT, Mich., May 29.—Thomas McCabe, a Detroit engineer, who swal lowed ten grains of bichloride of mer cury a week ago, has recovered. A so lution of bicarbonate of soda, injected into his veins by Dr. Andrew T. Sher man saved the life of the engineer. When he took the poison he declared it was because B. Sanders Walker, of Macon, said death from its effects was painless. “I believe if this preparation is used in such cases a large percentage of them will .be saved,” said Dr. Sherman. “The injections can be made in any vein. I made eight punctures in all, the in jections being given every five or six hours. Fourteen drams of bicarbonate of soda in three pints of normal water solution was used. “The thing of most importance is to be certain the solution is absolutely aseptic; otherwise the patient would be killed by it.” After swallowing the poison and suf fering intense agony, McCabe decided he wanted to live and aided the physi cian in every way possible. TALLULAH SUIT GOES 10 HANOS OF JURY Verdict Will Probably Be Given Late During After noon-Debate Limited BT SAM BEI Journal Staff Correspondent. CLAYTON/ Ga., May 29.—The suit of the state of Georgia to eject the Georgia Railway and Power compa ny from the Tallulah river gorge went to the jury at 2:30 o’clock • this after noon. Argument in the case opened yester day afternoon and. was continued this morning. The attorney agreed to limit debate to four hours oli each side. The argument was opened for the state yesterday afternoon by Edgar Watkins. He was followed by Alex King for the power company and W. M. Harris for the state. H. H. Dean opened the argument this morning for the power company and was followed by R. C. Ellis for the state, and Luther Rosser for the power company. Attorney General Felder concluded the argument for the state. Exhaustive discussion of the filed notes of the original survey was pre saged by the argument made by R. C. Ellis, attorney for the Tallulah Falls Conservation association, who contended trtat these notes and not the plats of the survey formed the real and legal basis for the title to the land in the gorge of the Tallulah river. Because of discrepancies which he declared existed between the notes of the original surveyors and their own plats the notes must, in the present instance, be taken as final. These notes, he strove to show, established that the ancient processioners went only to the brink of the gorge and gave little or no intimation of any attempt to pro ceed to the river bed. In closing its testimony, the Georgia Railway and Power company introduced the deeds of the original land grants is sued in 1818-1820 and depositions from a score of former owners of the land, setting forth that the boundaries had always been considered the river bed. J. A. Reynolds, a Tallulah Falls sur veyor, also testified. Reynolds told of making complete sur vey of some of the disputed land sev eral years ago to establish the lines of land owned by Mr. Moss and Mrs. White at Tallulah Falls. Reynolds said he had run his lines to the river bed as the boundries. Interest ih the case, which has lagged perceptibly since Monday, was revived in a measure this morning by the at torneys’ arguments. True to their rep utations, the Rabun mountaineers came to hear the- speech-making when they •could not be lured by dry-as-dust tes timony dealing with* land lines and the rottening stumps of ancient pine trees.

In both cases the state department holds that protests are jus tified. The president upheld that view. Chairman Simmons also took up the president’s questions of equalization of duties on raw materials and manufac tured products, among them wheat, flour and pig iron. Mr. Simmons de clined to discuss the president’s views on those points, saying no decision had been reached, but that he had sought Mr. Wilson’s ideas and would transmit them to members of the finance com mittee. UNDERWOOD OPPOSES. Chairman Underwood, when asked about the probable action of the house, should the tariff bill come back with an amendment to eliminate the 6 per cent clause, said that personally he fa vored retention of the provision as one of the ways of building up a merchant marine. “I believe in discrimination in favor of Aiperican ships,” said he. “Foreign nations discriminate in favor of their own ships and I do not see why we should not.’ 4 Mr. Underwood djd not Indicate, how ever, whether there would be any ef fort to retain the provision if the ad ministration raised strong objection.
