Every Shift of Military Re
sources Made With an Eye
to Possibility of Extreme
Steps Becoming Necessary
ROSSER RIDDLES
ONE OF THE STATE’S
CHIEF WITNESSES
Detective John Black "Goes to
Pieces” Under Rapid-Fire
Cross-Questioning of Frank's
Attorney at Afternoon Ses
sion
BY SALFS SMITH.
WASHINGTON, July 31.—The admin
istration is taking steps to be prepared
for the worst in connection with the
Mexican situation*. Every shift of the
military resources of the government is
made with an eye to the possibility ot
going to extreme length in Mexico.
A significant illustration of this isj
to be found in a letter received today
by Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts,
from Acting Secretary of the Navy
Roosevelt. Weeks had put in a request
that a couple of battleships be detailed
for show duty at Boston, during the
meeting there of the American Bankers’
association.
When his reply came from Mr. Roose
velt, it was quite in line with the gen
eral policy of preparedness of the ad
ministration. “The department will be
delighted to send the battleships,” said
the letter, “provided they are not need
ed at that time for use in Mexican wa
ters.”
It. is \rue that the administration
nas hot yet formulated a policy in re
gard to Mexico and will not, until it
feels itself more fully informed. But
at the same time it does not propose
to be caught unprepared in case an
emergency requires prompt Attention by
force of arms.
The possibility that only war will
quiet Mexico is not lost sight of, and
if that should be forced upon the ad
ministration, it proposes to be ready
to act with vigor and effectiveness.
Another Cruiser Goes
To Mexican Waters
WASHINGTON, July 31.—The cruis
er South Dakota has arrived at Califor-
nit City on her way to Guavmas to re
lieve the cruiser Pittsburg. When the
Pittsburg returns to San Francisco she
will bring any refugees who wish to
leave Guaymas.
Rebels Confiscating
Landowners' Holdings
DOUGLAS, Ariz., July 31.—Under a
taw just enacted by the Mexican con
stitutionalist state congress of Sonora,
the holdings of the great land barons
of the territory under control of the
rebel government are declared forfeited.
According to advices received here
today, the government machinery at Her-
mosillo already has been ‘put into op
eration to confiscate the estates of all
persons pot in sympathy with the con
stitutionalist cause. This number in-
cluu s all of the great landowners.
The law provides also that all hold
ings which a property owner is unable
or unwilling to cultivate shall be for
feited.
General Feiix Diaz
Takes a Motor Trip
(By Associated Press.)
LOS ANGELES, July 31.—There being
no indications of further demonstrations
against him, General Felix Diaz, the
Mexican special envoy to Japan, and his
suite took a motor trip today, guarded
only by Mexican secret service men. He
maintained secrecy as to his destination,
but it was presumed that he intended to
seek an interview with General Geroni-
rao Trevino, veteran soldier and asso
ciate of his uncle, Porfirio Diaz.
General Diaz declared “of ho conse
quence” the demonstration of Mexican
rebel sympathizers last night when njen-
acing shouts of “Death to Diaz!” drown
ed the vivas of his friends.
In his motor trip the general avoided
the vicinit yof the Mexican colony.

Fifth
ijtn Relative Comes
To Aid of Invalid by
An Offer of Blood
(By Associated ■ Press.)
NEW YORK. July 31.—Malcolm Mid
dleton, a mining expert of Utah, is the
filth member of the wealthy Middleton
family to come to the aid of Leighborn
Middleton, his brother, with an offering
of blood, but despite all the sacrifices
physicians say his case is hopeless. He
is suffering with anaplastic anaemia, a
disease that has baffled the physicians.
His young wife, who has already giv
en up 15 per cent of her blood supply in
the hope of saving her husband, pleaded
yesterday to be allowed to submit to a
second transfusion, but the doctors de
clared* that she could not survive a
further sacrifice. Middleton's brother
offered himself as a substitute, although
he was told by the physicians that the
operation will be the only means of
slightly prolonging the sick man’s life.
Action characterized the Wednesday
afternoon session of the Frank trial, and
it was the first time the tedious pro
ceedings had taken on life enough to
attract more than passing interest.
This action came hi the fierce and
merciless cross-examination of Detec
tive John Black by Attorney Rosser,
leading counsel for the defense. Black
has taken a prominent part in the in
vestigation of the Phagan murder, and
it was expected that he would prove
one of the state’s principal witnesses,
but before Mr. Rosser had finished with
him he went all to pieces and admitted
that he was hopelessly confused.
There were only two witnesses at the
afternoon session—Detective Black and
J. M. Gantt, the former shipping clerk
at the pencil factory. Gantt was on
the stand but about twenty minutes
and the only two important points in
his testimony were assertions that
Frank knew Mary Phagan and that
frank seemed to be frightened and very
nervous when the witness saw nim at the
pencil factory door on the evening of
the murder.
DORSEY’S CHARGE.
There was a considefable colloquy be
tween Solicitor Dorsey and Attorney
Rosser as to the propriety of the ques
tions framed by the solicitor. During
this colloquy Mr. Dorsey, addresing the
judge, declared: “I propose to show,
your honor, that this bloody shirt was
a plant, and that it was through sug
gestions made by the defendant that
the detectives were induced to search
Newt Lee’s house.”
The question was finally put and the
witness rather hesitatingly replied that
it was on Tuesday that the shirt had
beerv found and that it was on Monday
morning that Frank had suggested that
the officers search his own house, and
that it was also on Monday that the
defendant had announced that there
were skips in the time clock slips.
SECOND VISIT TO FRANK’S
Detective Black also told of going to
Frank’s home again Monday morning at
7 o’clock with Detective Haslett to ask
him to come down to the police station
to talk the murder over. Black said
that he and Haslett had to wait on the
porch while Frank ate breakfast, and
when Frank finished his meal they ac
companied him to headquarters. They
arrived about 8 o’clock or 8:30.
Shortly after they got there he no
ticed Attorney Rosser and Herbert
Haas. At 11:30 o’clock Monday morn-^
ing Haas insisted to Chief Lanford that
a search be made of Frank’s house by
officers. Frank accompanying them.
Solicitor Dorsey asked the witness
just what Haas said to Lanford. Black
replied that Haas stated he was
Frank’s lawyer and that in that capac
ity he would insist that nothing should
be left undone to clear up the matter
so far as Frank was concerned.
Solicitor Dorsey then asked the wit-
nes if on that morning Frank had con
sulted with Rosser and Arnold. He said
he didn’t know about Mr. Arnold, but
that Frank had consulted with Rosser
and Haas at police headquarters.
The witness was asked what conver
sation he had had with Newt Lee. He
and Pinkerton Detective Scott suggested
to Frank, replied the witness, that he
take Newt Lee into a room and see if
he could get anything out *of him that
would throw light on the murder.
The witness said that Frank had
spoken very highly of the negro night
watchman. The two were left in a room
alone together for five or ten minutes,
said the witness. Black was not able
to overhear very well what was said
in the room. Detective Scott and Black
went into the room and Frank told them
Newt Lee stuck to his first story of not
knowing anything about the murder.
Black said that Frank told them he
insisted to Lee that he, the negro, must
know something about the murder as no
one else was in the factory on that Sat
urday night. Black said that he talked
with Frank .about getting suggestions
from him, and that Frank seemed to sus
pect Gantt and to believe that Lee might
know something about it, inasmuch as
Lee was the nightwatchman and as such
it was his duty to go through the fac
tory every thirty mfnutes.
“He told me,” said the witness,
that Gantt came to the factory about
6. o’clock Saturday afternoon and that
he left him there; that he had had
some previous trouble with Gantt and
at first had refused to let him go in
and and look for his shoes, but that
h e later told Lee to let him in and
watch him while he was in the factory;
that he had given this direction be
cause Gantt knew the surroundings of
tne office.”
Subsequent to this conversation,
Gantt was arrested, said Black. Frank
did not talk with Gantt. Frank did
not refuse tp talk with Lee.
The first mention was made of Jim
Conley’s name.
Solicitor Dorsey asked the witness if
there had not been other suspects,
olack said yes.
“Who were they?”
“Jim Conley was one,” replied Black.
“Did Gantt talk to Conley?”
“No.”
“Did you talk to Frank on several oc
casions after he was arrested?”’
“Yes. He seemed to be nervous, as
any man under arrest would be, and
was willing to answer questions.”
Solicitor Dorsey asked that the state
ment be stricken, saying it was not an
answer to his question. Judge Roan re
fused to rule it out.
Solicitor Dorsey asked this question:
“Was Newt Lee nerovus after he was
arrested?”

(By Associated Press.)
NETT LAKE, Minn., July 31.—The
grand lodge medicine dance of the Chip
pewa Indians at the Bois fort reserva
tion and Nett Lake agency has been put
under the ban by a federal inspection.
It is the custom of the Indians dur
ing the dance to give away practically
everything they own. hey are thus
kept impoverished, while the medicine
men flourish.
The Indian doctors exert an influence
so strong over the members of the band
that they will not go to the agency
physicians even when seriously ill.
SAVANNAH, Ga.. July 31.—Five mur
der cases are now on the superior court
docket, assigned for trial- before the
closing of the present term of criminal
court. At no other time in the recent
history of Savannah have so many mur
der cases been pending in the courts.
The most important is that against
Lathrop George, who recently shot
Henry McClellan, when he found the
latter asleep in a bed room in Mrs.
.George’s home. This case has been as
signed for August 6.
On the following day Hugh Harrison
will be tried for the murder of Ruth
Hester. This alleged murder occurred
only a few days before the McClellan
tragedy! Jealousy is attributed as the
motive for the killing.
Two murder cases are assigned for
trial today: Lola Royal, colored charg
ed with the murder of her husband
Louis Royal, and George Hamilton, col
ored, charged with the murder of Mose
Frazier. The case against Amos Hus
sey, colored, is also assigned for trial at
this term.

Death's Hand Falls
On “Silver Bill, ”
Idol of Gamblesr
CHICAGO, July 31.—“O^lonel” Wil-
liam Riley, whose bookmaking estab
lishment on “Gamblers’ Row” in the
seventies was known from coast to
coast, died here yesterday. He was about
63 years old. Although he is reputed
to have at one time been a millionaire
he practically was without funds at his
death.
Riley, whose white hair ana mustache
won him the sobriquet of “Silver Bill,”
had a reputation among\ gamblers for
his honesty. He never allowed minors
in his place; no man was permitted to
smoke cigarettes there, card playing
was not permitted, but any kind of a
wager upon a horse race, athletic
event or election was covered promptly.
When Cleveland and Blaine ran for
the presidency more than $250,000 in
bets reposed in “Silver Bill’s’’ safe. The
result of the election was in doubt for
a time and Riley was taken ill. It was
reported that he had disappeared with
the money, which had been entrusted to
him and newspapers printed a story to
that effect. The story w r as disbelieved
by gamblers and not a single man wait
ed at the door of the* pool room the
following morning get his money.
Every bet was paid.*
Riley was born in Brooklyn and was
a camp follower in the Union army.
Late in the sixties he landed in San
Francisco with only $150. Meeting a
ragged miner, whose face was so cov
ered with a heavy growth of red beard
that he resembled, a freak, Riley rented
a store room and charged 50 cents ad
mission to see “the wild man of Cey
lon” who was the miner. He made
$1,500 in ten days.
Riley’s widow is believed to be re
siding in New York. It is said that
he settled $100,000 upon her several
years ago when they separated.
Aged Statesman Dead
NEWPORT, Isle of Wgiht, England.
July 31.—Prof. John Milne, eminent
seismologist, died here today, aged 63
ire&rfu ,
ony met today was subdued by the
knowledge that detectives were about.
Patrons spoke in whispers over their
teacups and every stranger, whether
man or woman, was immediately placed
under suspicion of being either a de
tective or a jewel thief.
The usual crop of inside “tips” are
afloat to the effect that arrests are im
minent, but those in authority say that
the detectives are no wiser as to the
identity of t.he theives who got away
with $225,000 worth of gems than when
they commenced work on the case.
Both Mr. Rumsey and Mrs. Hanan to
day declared ridiculous the theory that
a house guest had sought to climb
higher in society by the aid of the
missing ropes of pearls. “My guests
were all old friends,” said Mrs. Hanan,
“and none of them were in the house
when the robbery occurred.”
Mrs. Hanan was told by one of the
detectives at fthore Acres, her home,
that they had a clue.
BLOOD SPOTS AND PAID FOUND
FI
CHIME HAD BEEN COMMITTED
Pay Envelope Was Found Near Machine Used by Mary
Phagan Some Days Later-Find oj’ Strands of Hair on
Lathe Was Reported to Quinn, Who Notified Darley-Mell
Stanford and Magnolia Kennedy Also Saw It
New and sensational testimony for the state was given by R. P.
Barrett, a machinist at the National Pencil factory where Mary Phagan
was mundered on April 26, when Barrett Thursday afternoon declared
from the witness stand that he had discovered early Monday morning
following the tragedy a large blood spot, surrounded by a number ol
smaller spots, at the water cqoler near the dressing room on the sec
ond floor of the factory. Barrett testified further that he had found
a broom nearby which from its appearance evidently had been used
to smear the large blood spot over with a white substance.
Barrett testified further that on the same morning he had found
strands of hair on the lathe of the machine used by him and that he
had called this discovery to the attention of Masmolia Kennedy, Mell
Stanford and Lemmie Quinn, and that Quinn had notified Darley. The
solicitor developed through Barrett’s testimony that no girls had been
at the factory since Friday afternoon before the crime, his purpose
evidently being to show that the hair must have been that of Mary Pha
gan. In addition to this testimony, Barrett swore that a few days aft
er the murder he had found in the area near Mary Phagan’s machine,
a portion of a pay envelope. There was nothing on the envelope to
positively identify it as having belonged to Mary Phagan.
The fact that blooid spots were found in the metal room on tha
second floor was also established by the state through the testimony of
Harry Scott, the Pinkerton detective, and Mell Stanford, an employe
of the factory. *
Barrett’s testimony was decidedly the most Important that tha
state has thus far managed to get before the jury, and no doubt will
be stressed by the solicitor in support of the state’s theory that Mary
Phagan met her death in the metal room on the second floor of the
factory.
By both Pinkerton Detectives Harry Scott and Barrett the state
showed that careful searches had been made of the first floor shortly
after the tragedy and that neither a pay envelope, a purse, a bludgeon
or stick, had been found there. The prediction has been frequently
made that the defense would introduce evidence to show that both
Mary Phagan’s pay envelope and a bloody bludgeon were found on the
first floor by Pinkerton detectives.
' NOT THE SAME ENVELOPE.
' Whether the defense will Introduce the piece of envelope found
by the Pinkertons on the first floor of the factory is not known. In
the event they do so two pay envelopes will be in evidence. These two
pieces are not from the same envelope. This fact was demonstrated by
Attorney Frank A. Hooper, who is assisting In the prosecution. After
the state can contend that the envelopes are separate and distinct.
Mary Phagan’s machine, Mr. Hooper took It and endeavored to fit it
with the piece of envelope held by the defense. It did not fit, thus
the state can contend that the envelopes are sparate and distinct.
It is quite evident that the state will insis that the envelope and
bludgeon found by Plnkeron detectives and turned over to the defenst
are nothing more than "plants.” /
Monteen Stover, a twelve-wear-old girl employed at the factory,
stated that she had gone to the factory on the Saturday or tne mur
der, arriving at 12:05 and leaving at ljfcio. She swor^ that sKAhad
gone into the offices and that she did not see nor hear anyone in the
building. She had gone for her pay.
Scott swore that Frank had told him that he was in his ofllce and
did not leave it from 12 to 12:30.
Solicitor Dorsey has begun to weave the chain of circumstantial
evidence with which the state expects to convict Frank with the mur
der. The remainder of the week will most likely be taken up by the
state in the introduction of witnesses.
WILL CONLEY BE CALLED? •
James Conley, the negro sweeper, who swore that he helped
Frank carry the girl’s body into the basement and wrote the notes
found beside it at Frank’s suggestion, may or may not be introduced as
a principal witness. The state may hold him back as a rebut*ft?»jult-
ness, and there is a slight possibility that he may not.be put upon the
stand at all. •
Throughout the Thursday session of the trial Frank remained as
impassive as he has been heretofore. He took a keen interest in the
proceedings, but did not display the slightest trace of emotion.
The testimony of Detective Scott was not satisfactory to either the
state o rthe defense. He engaged in frequent clashes with Mr. Rosser
while the latter was cross-examining nim, but unlike Detective John
Black, he never once lost his head.

Albert Driscoll Cammayer,
When Caught With $900
Worth of Stamps, Charged
With Blowing Postoffice
Safe at Green Cone, Fla,
(Special Dispatch to Th» Journal.)
MONTGOMERY, Ala., July 31.—Until
Albert Driscoll Cammayer *was arrested
at Chattanooga last week on a charge
of blowing open the safe of the Green
Cove, Fla., postofflee, he was leading a
double life—that of safe blower and re
ligious worker—according to postofflee
inspectors who came to Montgomery
yesterday to get information about Cam-
mayer’s career in Alabama.
Cammayer—known in Alabama as
Driscoll—had been recognized for sever
al months as one of the best citizens of
Green Cove. He had gone in the best
society. He had formed the acquaint
ance of a Green Cove girl. They became
engaged and preparations were made
for the wedding.
One night the postoffice safe was
broken open, and stamps and some mon
ey stolen. Cammayer—then going under
that 'jname—was not suspected. No trace I
of the safe blower could be found, j
Then Cammayer went to Chattanooga as ;
a representative of the Jefferson Pow
der company, of Birmingham.
BETRAYED BY SUITCASE.
Luck went against him. He lost his
duplicate check and the railroad refused
to give him his suitcase. Cammayer de
clared that he could iuentify articles in
the case and he mentioned a suit of
clothes, a comb and brush and other ar
ticles. But he said nothing about $900
worth of stamps which were hidden in
the bottom of the suitcase.
Then Cammayer decided he ought to
make a more thorough search for the
check. He w f er.t to this hotel and found
the lost slip. But, in the meantime,
railroad officials made a thorough search
of the suitcase and found the stamps.
Cammayer produced the check and de
manded the suitcase. Detectives were
called and Cammayer was arrested.
Postoffice inspectors could not find
a postoffice in the Chattanooga district
that had ben robbed recently and other
divisions w r ere notified. Green Cove’s
office had been robbed a few weeks
before and investigations showed that
the numbers of the stamps in Cam*
mayer’s possession corresponded with
those stolen from the Florida postoffice.
Cammayer denied that he had robbed
the postoffice.
FIANCEE LOYAL.
News of Cammayer’s arrest went to
Grene Cove, where he was regarded as
an upright citizen. People there refused
to believe he was interested in the
robbery, and his fiancee declared she
believed him a gentleman and she is still
standing by him. Cammayer’s fiancee
is a daughter of a superintendent of a
large plant in Florida, but postoffice
inspectors have refused to make pub
lic her name.
Cammayer was convicted of robbing
the safe of Hirscher Brothers, In
Montgomery, in 1904. He was sentenced
to twenty years in the penitentiary,
but was paroled by Governor O’Neal in
3 911, when wardens reported that Cam
mayer had been converted and had be
come a minister and relligous worker.
Soon after being released Cammayer
was employed by the Jefferson Powder
company, of Birmingham as traveling
representative and it is alleged that
he used his position to get explosives
to use in his criminal operations.
Shoots 85-Year-Old Wife
And Attempts Suicide
MONTVILLE. Conn., July 31.—Albert
Rogers, eighty-two years old, shot and
killed his eighty-five-year-old wife at
their home here this morning, and then
attempted ineffectually to end his own
life.
The shooting aws the sequel to a
quarrel.
convened, with Judge Roan on the
bench, at 9 o'clock.
J. M. Gantt was recalled to the stand.
“When were you arrested?”
“Monday, April 28, at 11.30 o’clock in
Marietta. I was released on Thursday
of the following week.”
The witness was excused.
SCOTT TAKES STAND.
Harry Scott, assistant superintendent
of the Atlanta branch of the Pinkerton
detective agency, was called to the
stand.
“When did you first see Leo M.
Frank?”
"At 4:30 o’clock Monday, April 28, at
the National Pencil factory.”
“With whom have you worked on this
case ”
“John Black, city detective of At
lanta.”
“By whom were you engaged?”
“By Mr. Frank, representing the Na
tional Pencil company.”
“Tell all about your engagement.”
“I went up to the National Pencil
company's factory on request, and saw
Mr. Frank standing about where the
time clocks are. Accompanied, by Mr.
Darley and another man, we went back
into Mr. Frank’s private office for a
conference.
FRANK ASKED PROBE.
'He stated that the directors of the
company and himself thought that the
public demanded an investigation of the
horrible crime committed in the factory.
He, Frank, had just come from police
headquarters, and John Black seemed
to suspect him. Then he detailed to me
his movements on Saturday. He ar
rived at the factofy about 8 o’clock. Be
tween 9:30 and 10 o’clock he went to
iiontag’s, and returned to the factory
about 11. he said.
“About 12 o’clock Mrs. White came
in and went up to the fourth floor
where her husband and Harry Denham
were working. About 12:10 Mary Pha
gan came in and he paid her two half
dollars and two dimes. .She received
the money in his private office and when
she reached the outer office asked if the
metal had come.
“He replied that ho didn't know. When
she had reached the stairway, he heard
voices, but couldn’t tell wether it was
a man or two women talking. About
12:50 he went up to the fourth floo*
and found that White and Denham
wanted to work about two hours longer*
Mrs. White preceded * him down tha
steps and mentioned that when she cam«
in she had seen a negro sitting behind
some boxes on the first floor.
“At 1:10 Frank went to lunch. He re*
turned at 8, and at 4 oclock Newt Lee
reported and was told that he could
go out and have a good time for two
hours. Lee returned at 6 o’clock and
about 6:04 Frank left the factory. On
the outside he met J. M. Gantt, a for- !
mer bookkeeper, who had been discharg-i
ed for thieving. Frank reached home
at 6:25 o’clock and at 6:30 tried to get.
the night watchman to ask him if Gantt'
had left. He didn’t get hin\ then, butj
did get him at 7 o’clock. He went to|
bed .about 9:30 o’clock.
SEARCH IN FACTORY.
“After Frank had detailed his move
ments, said the witness, he and Scott
and Darley went through the factory.
Darley was the spokesman, pointing out
the supposed blood spots, and the point
where the hair was said to have been
found. From the second floor they went
to the basement through the scuttle
hole, where Scott saw the place where
the body and several objects were
found.
Solilctor Dorsey asked Scott if he ob
served Frank’s manner when Frank en
gaged him.
SCOTT SURPRISES DORSEY.
“Yes, it was perfectly natural and he
exhibited no sign of nervousness.”
“How did Frank breathe?”
“Between words he seemed to take a
dep breath.” 1
Attorney Rosser objected to the ques
tion and answer. In reply, the solilctor |
said he was surprised by tne evidence j
of Detective Scott, and that fie had I
been misinformed a4 to ,what his tes- !
timony would be. He then asked per
mission of the court to ask the witness 1
some questions to refresh his memory. |
This was granted.
“How did his eyes look?”
"They were large and piercing.”
The witness said further that Frank |
sighed several times during the conver- (
sation in Frank’s private office. Attor- {
ney Rosser entered another objection, I
and said that the answers of Detective j
Scott were conclusions merely inasmuch'
as he had never seen Frank before that
time.
Scott testified, after looking at Frank;
in court, that his eyes looked then as /
they did during the conversation.
“Didn’t you say to me—” »
Attorney Rosser objected. Interrupt- !■
ing. Judge Roan sustained the objec-j
tion.
“How about his -complexion, Mr. ;
Scott?” asked Dorsey.
“He was a little pale at that time.”
“What pauses did he make in Ihisi
conversation?”
Attorney Rosser objected, and was j
sustained. 0
“How did he give this narrative?”
