TEXT OF AFFIDAVIT.
STATE OF GEORGIA, County of Fulton:
Personally appeared before me, a notary public in and for the above
state and county, Minola McKnight, who lives in the rear of 351 Pulliam
street, Atlanta, Ga„ who, being duly sworn, deposes and says:
Saturday morning, April 26, 1913, Mr. Frank left home about 8 o’clock,
and Albert, my husband, was there Saturday too; Albert got there I guess
about a quarter after 1 and was there when Mr. Frank come for dinner,
which was about half past one, but Mr. Frank did not eat any dinner and
he left in about ten minutes after he got there.
Mr. Frank come back to the house at 7 o’clock that night, and Albert
was there when he got there. Albert had gone home that evening, but be
come back, but I don’t know what time he got there, but he come some time
before Mr. Frank did, and Mr. Frank eat supper that night about 7 o’clock,
and when I left about 8 o’clock I left Mr. Frank there.
Sunday morning I go tthere about 8 o’clock, and there was an auto
mobile standing in front of the house, but I didn't pay any attention to it,
but I saw a man in the automobile get a bucket of water and pour into it
Miss Lucile (Mr. Frank’s wife), was down stairs, and Mr. and Mrs. Selig
were up stairs. Albert was there Sunday morning, but I don’t remember
what time he got there. When I called them down to breakfast about half
past eight I found that Mr. Frank was gone. Mr. and Mrs. Selig eat break
fast and Miss Lucile didn’t eat until Mr. Frank come back and they eat
breakfast together. I didn’t hear them say anything at the breakfast table,
but after dinner I understood them to say that a girl and Mr. Frank were
caught at the office Saturday.
I don’t *know who said it, but Miss Lucile and Mr. and Mrs.
Selig and Mr. Frank were standing there talking after dinner. I
didn’t know the girl was killed until Monday evening, I understood
them to say it was a Jew girl, and I asked Miss Lucile, and she said
it was a Gentile.
On Tuesday Mr. Frank says to me, “It is mighty bad, Minola,
I might have to go to jail about this girl, and I don’t know anything
about it.”
I heard Mrs. Rauzin, Mrs. Frank’s sister, tell Miss Lucile that
it was mighty bad, and Miss Lucile said, “Yes, it is. I am going to
get after her about it.” I don’t know what they were talking about.
WANTED TO KILL HIMSELF.
Sunday Miss Lucile said to Mrs. Selig that Mr. Frank didn’t
sleep so good Saturday night. She said he was drunk and wouldn’t
let her sleep with him, and she said she slept on the floor on the
rug by the bed because he was drinking. Miss Lucile said Sunday that
Mr. Frank told her Saturday night that he was in trouble, that he didn’t
know the reason why he would murder, and he told his wife to get his
pistol and let him kill himself. I heard Miss Lucile say that to Mrs.
Selig. It got away .with Mrs. Selig mighty bad, she didn’t know what to
think. I haven’t heard Miss Lucile say whether she believed it or not.
I don’t know why Mrs. Frank didn’t come to see her husband, but it was
a pretty good while before she come to see him, maybe two weeks. She
would tell me. “Wasn’t it mighty bad that he as locked up,” and she said
“Minola, I don’t know what I am going to do.”
HER WAGES INCREASED.
“When I left home to go to the solicitor general’s office, they told me
to mind what I said. They paid me $3.50 a week, but last week she paid
me $4, and one week she paid me $6.50. But at the time of of this murder
I was getting $3.50 a week, and the week right after the murder I don’t
remember how much they paid me. The next week $4, and the next week
$4. One week Mrs. Selig gave me $5, but it was not for my work, and they
didn’t tell what it was for. They just said, ‘Here is $5, Minola,’ but of
course I understood what they meant, but they didn’t tell me anything
at the time. I understood it was a tip for me to keep quiet. They would
tell me to mind how I talked, and Miss Lucile would give me a hat.”
Question: Was that the reason you dian’t tell the solicitor yesterday
all about this,—that Miss Lucile and the others had told you not to say
anything about what had happened out there?”
“Yes; sir.”
Question: “Is that true?”
“Yes, sir.”
Question: “And that is the reason why you would rather-have been
locked up last night than tell this?”
“Yes, sir.
Question: “Has Mr. Pickett or Mr.. Cravens or Mr. Campbell or my
self (Detective Starnes, evidently), influenced you in any way or threat*
ened you in any way to make this statement?”
“No, sir.”
Question: “You make it of your own free will and accord, in their
presence and the presence of Mr. Gordon, your attorney?”
"Yes, sir.”

DEPUTIES RIOT WHEN THE
HUNGARIAN CABINET QUITS
Wild Scenes Mark Announce
ment of Premier Von Lukacs’
Resignation
BUDAPEST, June 6.—Scenes of great
disorder occurred when the Hungarian
premier, Dr. Hadis Von Lukacs today
announced the resignation of the Hun
garian cabinet at the opening of the sit
ting of the chamber of deputies.
The premier decided to resign owing
to the acquittal of Deputy Desacs in
a suit for criminal libel brought against
•>im for accusing the premier of cor
ruption in connection with some con
tracts with the Bank of Hungary.
A violent uproar occurred when the
premier spoke today. Dr. Von Lukacs
and Count Tisza, the speaker of the
chamber, were greeted with insulting
epithets. The speaker was utterly un-
ible to keep order, the members bang-
ng the desks and shouting at one an
ther incessantly.
MRS. GRACE SAYS SHE
WILL MARRY OLDHAM
v Special Dispatch to The Journal. >
COATES VILLE, Pa., June 5—Follow
ing the giving up of her apartments
at the Swan hotel here Tuesday, Mrs.
Daisy Opie Grace, who is suing her hus
band, Eugene Grace, for a divorce, an
nounced that she intended to marry
Charles H. Oldham, who was also asked
to leave the hotel Tuesday.
Mr. Oldham declared some time ago
that he and Mrs. Grace were already
married. They gave up the apartments
following the disclosures that they were
not man and wife.
Mrs. Grace declared that she and Mr.
Oldham were registered in different
apartments, and that the request for
them to leave the hotel was due to some
“prying woman’s work.”

L
T
Witnesses Summonsed in Dic
tograph Controversy, Al
though Foreman Says Vice
Probe Is Not Complete
Four witnesses were called Wednes
day morning by the Fulton county
grand jury to testify in regard to the
existence of vice in Atlanta. They
were Colonel Thomas B. Felder, who
was on the stand but a few minutes
Tuesday; A. J. Young, a real estate
man; J. E. Skaggs, agent of the South
ern Express company, and Police Chief
James 2 Beavers.
Neither of these witnesses would in
dicate along what lines he was ques
tioned by the grand jury. It is under
stood, however, that Colonel Felder
submitted a supplementary list to the
list of alleged disorderly houses fur
nished Tuesday by Attorney Car?
Hutcheson and that he also turned over
to the grand jury a number of affida
vits relative to houses which are op
erating in the city without police inter
ference.
Colon * Felder is said to have sup
plied evidence attacking the official
integrity and moral character of De
tective Chief Newport A. Lanford.
Chief Be:.vers, it.is understood, was
questioned at length concerning his
vice crusades and the general mort
condition of the city as he observes it
He was also asked, it is said, about At
torney Hutcheson’s charge that he hac
failed to make raids upon disorderly
houses which had been reported to him
Upon leaving the grand jury room
Chief Beavers stated that he could not
discuss what had transpired there as
he had been requested not to do so, but
he admitted that he liad been asked
whether he thought his recent crusade
against vice had bettered conditions in
the city and that he had replied that it
was his opinion that conditions were
much better today than they had ever
been be --
The chief says he admitted that it
was probable that some disorderly
houses were operating surreptitiously
*■ V at he assured the grand jury that
he v.as diligently endeavoring to obtain
evidence against such places and that
as fast as he got thme evidence he made
cases againct the proprietors and in
mates.
Messrs. Young and Skaggs are re
ported to have been interrogated rela
tive to disorderly houses which may
have come under their observation or
which they may have information about.
A number of persons alleged in At
torney Hutcheson’s testimony to be
proprietors, managers and frequenters
of disorderly houses, were summoned
by the grand jury Wednesday, but were
not called. At 1:45 p. m. the grand
jury adjourned and excused all wit
nesses until 10 o’clock Thursday morn
ing.
TO PROBE DICTOGRAPH EPISODE.
It is expected that on Thursday or
Friday the grand jury will begin a probe
into the alleged dictograph conversa
tions, in which Colonel Felder, Mayor
Woodward, C. C. Jones, E. O. Miles, G.
C. Febuary and A. S. Colyar figure. Sub-
penas have been issued for a number
of witnesses to testify in such an in
vestigation.
The grand jury has, it is said, yield
ed to the demands of Colonel Felder and
Chief Beavers to make a thorough in
vestigation of the dictograph episode.
Colonel Felder charges that the dicto
graph records were forged and promises
to make sensational disclosures when
the investigation is begun. He says that
attorneys and court officials agree with
him that even if the records were true,
he had violated no law, and would not
be subject to indictment on any count.
The city detectives expect the dicto
graph records to prove that Colonel
Felder sought to bribe G. C. Febuary, a
clerk in the detective department, to
furnish him with affidavits and other
papers relating to the Phagan murder
case.
Foreman Lewis H. Beck states that
the vice probe will hardly be. completed
before Thursday afternoon, and for this
reason he said he did not anticipate
that the investigation of the dictograph
incident could be started on Thursday.
This would indicate that the latter in
vestigation will be begun Friday morn
ing.

SENATE PROBE CULLS
IN LOBBYISTS TO BE
GRILLEDJEXT WEEK
Sensational Turn Is Taken in
Lobby Investigation and
Sixty So-Called Lobbyists
Are Subpenaed
FARMERS - MERCHANTS - AGENTS
ATTENTION ^ ~ D0 Y0U WANT THIS1913 M0DEL
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, June 5.—The drag
net was spread today in the senate’s
probe for “the lobby.” Subpenas for a
score of men were issued.
It was generally understood here
that some of the names were furnished
by President Wilson and that others
were those which developed in the tes
timony of senators. The new .wit
nesses are to be heard next week. Some
of the names are being kept secret, but
Chairman Overman today gave out this
partial list:
Aaron Gove, Denver; Dr. S. W. Mc
Clure, Salt Lake City, secretary of the
National Wool Growers’ association;
Henry F. Oxnard, New York, prominent
in the beet sugar industry; Edward F.
Dickinson and Jules Godchaux, repre
senting Louisiana sugar interests; Sid
ney M. Ballou, E. E. Paxton, H. D. Mead
and Walter C. Smith, also understood to
be interested in sugar tariff affairs;
John F. Hamburg, New York; Harry Ir
win, H. T. Alexander, Trenton, N. J.;
Frank Gorman, Bufford Lynch and John
Carroll, all of Washington.
Some of these are men whom sena
tors have testified appeared in a “legiti
mate capacity.”
The list indicates the apparent pur
pose of the committee to question rep
resentatives of both the free sugar and
anti-free sugar camps who have been
conducting a vigorous campaign in
Washington.
The investigating committee had pro
gressed little more than half through
the list of senators today and there
were indications that Senator Overman
would ask the senate tomorrow for an
extension of the ten days allowed for
the probe.
A flock of sergeant-at-arms started
out today to summon the witnesses for
next week, by which time the investiga
tors will have finished taking testimony
of senators and plunge into an exam
ination of the socalled “lobbyists.”
While the subpenaes are being served
and the committee is preparing for the
examination of new witnesses, senators
will continue to be examined. When the
committee reassembled today it had
nearly half of the senate still wait
ing.
“Social lobbying” in Washington jus
tifies every word President Wilson ut
tered in regard to the presence of an
“Insidious” lobby at the capital, Sen
ator Kenyon of Iowa declared on the
witness stand before the senate investi
gating committee. It was the first un
equivocal statement in support of the
president’s attitude since the inquiry
began.
Gunning for tariff lobbyists has, for
the time being backed the tariff bill
of the board. Consideration of the Un
derwood bill has become secondary. At
the rate of progress attained at Mon
day’s and Tuesday’s sessions of the in
vestigating committee it will be two
weeks before the country gets the
whole story of the lobby. And then i
is a question how damning the news
will be.
Just what information the president
has given the senate committee is not
known for the reason that publicity is
r.ot invited at ths time. The testimo
ny being adduced by the committe
from members of the upper chamber is
being disseminated to the country as
soon as it is spoken. As yet Washing
t> i oes - take the investigation se
riously, but the administration doesn't
care much -bout what Washington
thinks, but rather looks to eentimen
“out of doors,” as the president woul
say. Nevertheless, there doesn’t ap
pear to v e much prospect of the inquiry
developing anything of a startling^
new nature so long as the present tack
is maintained.

members of the senate to ascertain
their knowledge of the lobby. There are
ninety-six members, and it is doubtful
if one-tenth of- the membership will
admit that he has seen and dscussed
with a lobbyist in the flesh. And this
is du not so much because they want
to conceal, but rather because they dif
fer upon definitions of what a lobbyist
really is.
One development of the probe proba
bly will be that the country will be
enriched to the extent of ninety-six new
interpretations of “a lobbyist.” A sen
ator is not going to describe a personal
friend who has approached him in re
gard to the tariff as a lobbyist, yet it
is known to be a practice of lobbyists
to cloak thfeir efforts in this way. They
use the friendship of a mutual ac
quaintance -s a mask; consequently the
task of totting at something concrete
and tangible in regard to the operation
of the lobby is an extremely difficult
undertaking
The twilight zone between the repre
sentatives of legitimate business who
have besought congressmen and the paid
agents of certain interests, such as sugar
and wool, 13 hard to define. Some of
the business men have approached the
border line, yet kept far enough off to
prevent the offensive appellation. They
have stimulated public sentiment as
the every day Washington dispatches
will show, yet they do not believe
themselves open to the charge that
they have unrighteously obstructed the
popular will.
Senator Cummins' motives for in
itiating the investigation are being in
terpreted in various ways, some of
which seek to link his action with his
ambition to shine as a Republican pres
idential candidate in 1916. It is cal
culated that if he can put Wilson in a
whole in an investigation that is bound,
more or less, by the rules of legal evi
dence, there will be a feather in his cap
which can be displayed for campaign
purposes.

If you have a persistent, nagging bron
chial cough beware of cough remedies.
They are merely local in action, and If
they do relieve it is the narcotics that
do it. What you require is a blood puri
fier, a searching antidote that removes
from the circulation the acid poisons that
by their reflexes attack all weakened,
susceptible spots and thus create local
symptoms. The very best remedy known
is Swift’s Sure Specific. You will find
it on sale in any drug store at $1.00 per
bottle. It goes straight into the blood,
becomes an internal blood bath, wonder
fully increases the red corpuscles, cures
all the local fever spots and Irritations,
increases appetite, you take on flesh and
feel a wonderful sense of renewed
strength. Hundreds of people worried
beyond control at cough, pains in the
chest, sore throat and constant expectora
tion of thick mucous have experienced
the most wonderful change after using
S. S. S. All doubt and apprehension is
gone, those peculiar pains and aches van
ish, there follows a period of most in
tense rejoicing to find that worst fears
were based entirely upon a mistaken no
tion that cough and chest pains come
from the lungs. These are rheumatic
conditions, and you will quickly realize
it after using S. S. S. for a few days.
Get a bottle of S. S. S. to-day at the drug
store and then say good-by to all those
pains that have worried you.
Write to The Swift Specific Co., 127
Swift Bldg., Atlanta, Ga., for medical
advice and wonderful facts concerning
the greatest blood remedy ever known.
