COUNTRY BANKS WILL
BE CARED FOR IN FUND
Treasury Secretary-Impatient
With Report That City Insti
tutions Will hail to Help
» *-
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 14.—Fol
lowing the conierence tomorrow between
treasury officials and far western
bankers concerning the deposit of $60,,-
000,000 in southern and western banks
to facilitate the movement of crops, the
treasury department will issue a state
ment amplifying its reasons for not
scattering the funds by depositing them
in the smaller cities of the territory
to be affected.
The department has been flooded with
requests from smaller banks for de
posits and bombarded by congressmen
from the rural districts, pleading that
the funds be not confirmed in the lar
ger cities of the. agricultural states.
Assistant Secretary Williams, in charge
of the distribution of the fund, again
explained today that it would be ob
viously impossible, under the general
scheme of relief, for the department to
deal directly with all, of the banks In
the agricultural states, because the
treasury department has not the ma
chinery necessary. He is confident that
the city banks selected for depositories
will deal fairly and liberally with their
country correspondents, and that the
chief object of the distribution Of the
fund will be accomplished.
Because he is entirely lamiliar with
the attitude of the city bankers them
selves as regards the fund and because
he has entire confidence in their pur
pose to deal fairly with the country
banks, Assistant Secretary Williams
displayed impatience with the complaint
that has come from some sections oi
the south and west about the distribu
tion. The criticism is not only un
founded, but is an injustice to the in\
tegrity of the bankers themselves, in
the opinion of Mr. Williams.
"In all of the conferences between
tieasury officials and bankers,” said
Mr. Williams, “the banks have been
impressed with the purpose of the de
partment to require them to deal lib
erally with their country correspond
ents. The necessity for this has been
enjoined, and the department has as
surances that are entirely satisfactory.
The character of security that the de
partment expects to accept for the de
posits, the limit time, and the lack
of machinery make it impossible for the
department to deal directly with all the
banks that want a part of the fund.”
Bryan’s ‘Dove of Peace
Is Ancient War Eagle
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—Although
now masquerading as Secretary Bryan’s j
“dove of peace” seal, which is being
attached to peace treaties with other ;
nations, it developed today that the
design, copied from an ancient coin,
really represents the war eagle and not
a cooing dove. In addition, the de
sign includes the figure of the war
gt)d, Zeus, who is seated on a throne
with a scepter, or ”bif* stick” in his
powerful clasp. Secreucry Bryan had j
adopted the seal as emblematic of his
desire for world amity
The revelation was made in a letter
to the secretary from Sir Cicil Arthur
Spring-Rice, British ambassador to this
country, who made inquiries of the
British museum. There it was found
that the coin, which Secretary Bryan
picked up in Palestine while on a trip
around the world, was of the time of
Alexander, the Great. On the other
side from that bearing the bird is a
head of Hercules, famous Greek hero of
mighty deeds. In addition to the offi
cial seal of state, it has been custom
ary for secretaries of state. when
signing treaties, to use also a 'personal
seal. When appointed Secretary Bryan
had a seal made from the coin.

FREE
This New Combination Method Routs
Out the Germs from Bead,
Throat and Blood.
Follow ing the arrow, you will note
on the illustration the cavity of the
head partly shown. Here the dread
ful Catarrh germs do their evil work
on the tender mucous membranes.
A local treatment is necessary to
dislodge them, bqt that is not
enough. They must also be followed
into the blood and killed. This
treatment does both. It must be
borne in mind that catarrh is one of
the most insidious of diseases and
one of the hardest to destroy, just
, because of this tendency to retire
from the surface when the germs
i are attacked.
O# E. Gauss Has Devised a New
Positive Method.
By treating both the blood and the inflamed
tissues at the same time the Catarrh germs are
not only' routed but are cut off from their
usual retreat—into the blood. Instead of hiding
there until the local treatment stops and then
returning, they are destroyed and the system
is rid of them. Thus, and thus only, is a real
cure of this insidious and awful disease made
possible.
For years Mr. Gauss sought to find a cure
for catarrh through local treatment, and per
fected a means that would dispose of local symp
toms very rapidly. But, the disease nearly al
ways came back, and so he concluded that It
had Iain hidden in the blood. More years of
research brought the blow! remedy needed—and
now this wonderful Combined Treatment is the

SUMMARY OF FRANK EVIDENCE
AT END OF THE THIRD WEEK
Defense Has Attacked the
State s Case at Every
Point, Considering N o
Detail Too Small to
Raise a Reasonable
Doubt Against It.
W HEN the third long week
of the trial of Leo M.
Prank ended Saturday
afternoon 203 witnesses had taken
the oath and told the jury what
they knew of the circumstances
surrounding Atlanta’s greatest
tragedy, the murder of Mary Pha-
gan in the National Pencil factory
on Memorial day, April 26. Of
these witnesses thirty-four had tes
tified for the state and 169 for the
detense and among them all only
one directly connects the factory J
superintendent with the crime.
Jim Conley, the negro factory
sweeper, is Frank's accuser. He
not only accuses the superintend- 1 j
ent of murder, but adds the j
charge of perversion and It Is
through this charge that me state
hopes to show a motive for the
. crime.
I
Center of Attack
Much of the most determined
work done by the defense during
the third week, just finished, has
been concentrated upon the testi
mony given by H. P. Harris, sec
tary of the state board of health,
and upon the testimony of C. B.
Dalton, both of whom were intro
duced by the prosecution.
In attacking Dr. Harris’ testimo
ny, the defense introduced several
physicians who characterized Dr.
Harrie conclusion as guesses and
said that they attached no impor
tance to them and believed them
to be without scientific founda
tion. It will he remembered that
Dr. Harris’ testimony fixed the
time of Mary Phagan’s death, in
ihe opinion of the witness, at not
more than 45 minutes after she
ate her last meal of cabbage and
bread at home and started for
town to meet her death. This
was based upon the stage of di
gestion attained by the contents
of her stomach and arrested by
death.
Dr. Harris testified further re
garding omer details which had
convinced him that violence ot
some nature was inflicted upon
the girl, and that she was render
ed unconscious from the blow up
on tile back of her head, being
choked to death later by the cord
around her neck. The defense as
sailed each of the conclusions,
combating most vigorously the
one that Mary Phagan was killed
within a specified number of min
utes after her last meal.
Witnesses from Walton county
were introduced one after another i
to swear that they know C. B.
Dalton 'and that they would not
believe him on oath. Dalton’s
own experiences with the crim
inal law were revealed, the de
fense lawyers securing his admis
sions of them. Dalton’s testi
mony was menacing to the de-
lense because it purported to cor
roborate in incidental particulars
the general story told by Jim
Conley—whose evidence is the
center of the whole attack by
the defense.
Points at Issue
The state has sought to prove
that Mary Phagan met her death
in the metal room on the sec
ond floor of the pencil factory
before 1 o’clock on April 26.
The defense has sought to re
fute this with testimony that it
is impossible to determine the
hour in which the girl died, ana
that there are chances that she
met her death in anotner part of
the building.
The state clings to the theory
that the girl was struck on the
head, rendered unconscious by
falling tgainst a piece of ma
chinery, then was strangled to
death by a cord.
The defense has put its wit
nesses up to testify war the
wound on the back or tne dead
girl’s head may not have caused
unconsciousness and that me
manner in which she mst death
is a question which possibly no
physician can answer correctly.
The state has sought to prove
that Prank was the last person
to see the girl alive. So far
nothing has developed In the
trial to show that the girl was
seen after she drew her pay
from the factory superintendent.
By the testimony of Montaen
Stover, who swore that she
found Frank's office vacant at
12:05 o’clock on the afternoon
of the tragedy, and waited five
minutes, aind left then without
having sefen or heard anyone,
the state got before the jury the
allegation that just after Mary
Phagan was supposed to nave
entered the factory neither she
nor the factory superintendent
was seen around the office by
the witness. On this too the de
fense directed a heavy attack,
introducing witnesses who swear
they saw Mary Phagan get ofr
a trolley car as late as 12:10—
thus tending to make Immaterial
Prank’s absence from his office
while Monteen Stover was there.
The state has produced a wit
ness (Conley) who says he neard
a girl scream after r*ary Phagan
entered the factory, out this
same witness says that Mary en
tered ahead of Monteen Stover,
and the latter swears sne enter
ed at 12:05, and then too accord
ing to the defense’s witness
Mary Phagan was seen outside
of the factory after that time.
The state has sougnt to prove
that violence was done the girl
before her death. The defense has
put its experts on the stand to
swear that testimony that vio
lence was done is only guess
work; and many well Known
A MILLION WORDS OF TESTIMONY.
T HE trial of Leo M. Frank, charged with the murder of Mary Phagan,
is believed to have broken at least three records' in criminal prose
cution in the south.
More witnesses have been called than in any other case on record,
more actual time has been taken up in hearing testimony, and the
transcript of evidence is the most voluminous, so far as known, ever
taken in a criminal court south of the Mason and Dixon line.
When court adjourned Saturday afternoon thirty-four witnesses had
been called by the state and 169 by the defense, a total of 208; for three
weeks the jury had listened to testimony, having spent approximately
115 1-2 hours in court; and the evidence transcribed by the stenograph
ers exceeded 875,000 words.
It is considered likely t^at before the end of the trial nearly 800
witnesses will have been called and the transcript wilt total consider
ably more than a million words.
One of the most remarkable features of the trial is the yiay in
which the court stenographers have taken down the testimony. The
defense, anticipating the need of having a copy of the official record in
their possession as Quickly as possible after a witness' testimony has
been taken down, engaged two extra stenographers to work with the two
regular court reporters of the county. The four work in relays. One
will “take” for an hour. He will then be relieved, and while another is
writing down the questions of the attorneys and the answers of the wit
nesses he is either typing from his notes or reading from them into a
dictophone. In the latter event an assistant takes the testimony as it is
dictated by this device.
In this way the defense is able at any time to refer immediately to
any part of the testimony which has already been given in the trial.
Atlantians have testified to the
good character of Frank.
The state has sougnt to prove
that when Frank went nome to
eat lunch on the day of the trag
edy he left immediately without
eating, but the defense produces
witnesses who swear that Frank
remained in his home at least
forty minutes at that time.
The stats has sought to prove
that the accused was very nerv
ous on the day following the
tragedy, and that nas seen ad
mitted by the defense; nut tne
defense has put up witnesses
who swear that Frank was noc
nervous on the night os tne trag
edy and did not become so until
he was informed by the detec
tives that a girl had been mur
dered in his place of business.
V
Attack Is General
In every detail, no matter how
minute, the defense has attacked
the state’s case against Leo M.
Frank. No particular has been
considered too small to escape the
efforts of Attorneys Arnold and
Rosser to raise a reasonable doubt
against it if they could; and no
particular has been too small for
Solicitor Dorsey and his assistant,
Attorney Hooper, to permit an at
tack upon it to go unchallenged
nd unresisted. From one angle,
then another, the defense aimed
its bombaidment; and at one an
gle, then another, state’s attor
neys have striven to fend off any
damage to their case, impugning
a witness -when they could, striv
ing to ridicule him or her, en
deavoring to show interest, exces
sive :cal for Frank, or other coii-
troiling motive, and have been on
guard at every moment against
the determined onslaughts of the
attorney;, for the accused.
Week’s Developments
Monday the defense continued its
attack on the testimony given by Dr.
H. F. Harris that Mary Phagan died
within a half or three-quarters of
an hour after eating her midday
meal and that there were evidences
of violence immediately preceding
death. Dr. Leroy Childs began the
attack on the evidence of the secre
tary of the state board of health on
Saturday week, and on Monday Drs.
George Bachman, Willis Westmore
land. T. H. Hancock and J. C. Olm-
stead testified and were followed
and substantiated on Wednesday by
Dr. v W. S. Kendrick.
In nearly every instance where a
physician testified for the defense
the testimony, or parts of it, as
given by Dr. Harris was refuted.
When the evidence given by the
physicians for the defense is boiled
down to an essence, it is to the ef
fect that in their opinion the state
ments by Dr. Harris that the girl
. died within the time limit set by
him is but a mere guess, and that
his testimony that violence preceded
death is a second guess.
The jury heard medical testimony
that it would be impossible for any
physician to examine cabbage from
the stomach of any patient and
state the correct length of time the
food, had remained in the stomach.
To substantiate this, several jars of
partially digested cabbage taken
from the stomachs of several pa
tients were exhibited to the jury
with the statement of a physician
that no one could tell exactly how
long any of the exhibits had re
mained in the stomach.
Was Violence Committed ?
Some of the evidence given by
these physicians termed Dr. Harris’
statements that violence had been
committed on the girls shortly be
fore death as a mere guess. It was
testified that the distended condition
of the blood vessels might have re
sulted from numerous causes.
It will be recalled that Dr. Harris
testified that he examined parts of
the body nine days after death, and
that Dr. J. W. Hurt, the coroner’s
physician, testified he had made an
examination prior to that by Dr.
Harris. The jury was told that the*
first examination might have caused
the conditions noted under micro
scope by the state board of health's
secretary. As to the distended con
dition of the blood vessels, it was
testified that the injection of the
embalming fluid and several other
causes might have produced the
same conditions.
That Frank’s work on the finan
cial sheet, which it has been testi
fied required expert work running
Into dtHcete decimals, could not
have been done by any one commit
ting such a crime as is charged to
CASTOR IA
For Infanta and Children.
The Kind You Have Always Bought
sfgnaTurtlf
the factory superintendent imme
diately following the committment,
was what the defense hoped to show
by the testimony of export account
ants who were put on the stand.
*Joel Hunter, the last witness to
testify Monday, gave his opinion
that the work done on the sheet
made out on April 26 was the work
of Leo M. Frank, and in substance
was correct.
Dalton’s Story Eliminated
Twenty-two witnesses took the
stand on Tuesday and six of them
gave testimony impeaching C. B.
Dalton, one of th<j witnesses put up
by the state to corroborate Jim
Conley in his testimony that he fre
quently acted as lookout for Frank
on Saturdays and holidays when
women visited the superintendent
at the factory. Dalton was pictured
by the witnesses as anything but
a truthful witness. His past was
exposed in the court and when he
himself was recalled to the stand
admitted portions of the testimony
derogatory to his character.
These witnesses against Dalton
were brought to Atlanta by the de
fense from places where Dalton had
formerly lived. They told of his
indictment by a grand jury, of a
conviction for a certain crime and
stated that they would not believe
him under oath. Dalton, It will be
remembered, was expected to prove
a strong witness for the state in its
corroboration of the negro’s story.
He admitted visiting the factory
after work hours with certain
women employes of the place and
stated to the jury that Frank fre
quently had womeii visitors at the
time he made his Visits. His im
peachment by witnesses from his
former homes, eliminates, to a cer
tain extent, his testimony as ma
terial.
The defense scored again on
Tuesday when Miss Magnolia Ken
nedy was on the stand. Her tes
timony refuted that given by Helen
Ferguson that she asked for Mary
Phagan’s pay on the Friday before
the murder and it was refused.
Miss Kennedy works in the pencil
factory and declares that she knew
both Mary Phagan and Helen Fer
guson. She told the jury that she
followed the Ferguson girl to the
pay window and that nothing was
said about Mary Phagan’s pay.
She also declares that she went out
of the factory immediately behind
Helen Ferguson * and both walked
on down the street in the same di
rection.
Cook Denies Affidavit
Minola McKnight, the negro cook
in the Selig home where Mr. and
Mrs. Frank live, was also on the
stand Tuesday and denied the
truthfulness of her affidavit made to
the police concerning the actions of
the accused immediately following
the tragedy. The negress declared
that she had been forced to sign
the paper and that most of the al
legations were false.
Mr. and Mrs. Emil Selig, the fa-
. ther- and mother-in-law of the ac
cused, took the stand In defense of
the factory superintendent on Tues
day and corroborated the statement
made by Frank to the coroner con
cerning his moves on the day of
the tragedy before and after the
hour in which the girl met her
death. They denied anjr knowledge
of certain matters mentioned in the
Minola McKnight affidavit, reflect
ing on the behavior of the accused
on the Saturday of the tragedy and
the Sunday following.
Charles W. Bernhardt and Henry
Wood were called to the stand to
tell the results of their examina
tions of the Selig home and explain
the blue prints of the home to the
jury. Albert McKnight, husband of
the Selig cook, had stated that he
was sitting in the kitchen and saw
Frank enter the dining room on
the afternoon of the tragedy, go to
the sideboard and leave without
eating. According to expert testi
mony it Would be impossible for
any one sitting in the kitchen at
th* point where the McKnight negro
claims he was sitting to see the
parts of the dining room as testi
fied by him.
Character Evidence
On Wednesday the defense put
the character of the accused to is
sue and no sooner had the charac
ter evidence started well when the
real sensation of the week occurred
in the court room. It was Frank’s
mother, Mrs. Rae Frank, of Brook
lyn, N. Y., who startled judge, jury,
counsel and spectators by shouting
her denunciation of Solicitor Gen
eral Hugh M. Dorsey when he
asked a question of a character
witness reflecting strongly on the
character of the defendant.
John Ashley Jones, an insurance
man, had been put up by the de
fense and had just told the court
that after investigation, his com
pany had found the character of
the accused man to be good. When
the solicitor began his cross-ex
amination he asked several ques
tions concerning $he investigation
made by the insurance company
and then began a series of ques
tions, all of which the witness an
swered in the negative, but never
theless claused the jury to lean for
ward and caused the mother of the
accused man to give vent to her
indignation by shrieking a denial
of a certain question before the
witness on the stand could answer
in the negative. *
The solicitor asked the witness if
he n«ver heard of Frank’s familiar
ity with little girls around the fac
tory. To this Mrs. Rae Frank
shouted: "No. and you haven't
either!” Following nor outburst
she loft the room.
The solicitor used the names of
several with whom he intimated the
factory superintendent had been
familiar. He is expected to call
them in rebuttal to the character
witnesses who have testified for
the state.
Can Dorsey Supply Link ?
What evidence the solicitor has
to use in rebuttal is indicated only
by his questions to the witness
Jones'and by the sudden appearance
in Atlanta of the former inmate of
the Home of the Good Shepherd, in
Cincinnati, in company with the po
lice matron. The only evidence
derogatory to the accused’s char
acter was given by the negro Jim
Conley who charged perversion to
the factory superintendent. While
the state was having its innings no
evidence was given to corroborate
this charge because the character
of the deefndant had not then been
put in issue by the defense. Now
that the defense has put up wit
nesses to prove the accused’s good
character, the state can put up
testimony to prove the contrary.
It is understood that the solicitor
will call this girl, who has just re
turned from Cincinnati, and other
witnesses, who will be ready to
blast the character of the defendant
if they are asked the questions by
the defendant’s own counsel.
Judge Roan permitted the solicitor
to ask defense witnesses questions
reflecting on Frank's character Wed
nesday, and on Thursday refused a
request of the accused’s counsel to
have the questions stricken from
the record. The trial judge held
that the prosecutor had a right to
question character witnesses as to
whether they had heard certain
things derogatory to the defendant’s
character.
Frank’s Story Corroborated
On Thursday the defense put up
witnesses who, by their testimony,
accounted for the presence of Frank
at almost every hour during the day
of the tragedy. The story of his
movements as he told it to the cor
oner immediately after the murder
was fully corroborated. He was
trailed from his home in the morn
ing to the factory, from his office
over to Montag's office and back to
the factory; from his office to where
he took a car, and from the time he
stepped from the car in front of his
home until he left again in less than
an hour. He was also seen on
Whitehall street after getting off
the car on his return to the office
for his afternoon’s work.
The members of the card club
whose party was being given at the
Selig home on the night of the
tragedy took the stand and ac
counted for his presence that night.
The state has proven, and to a cer
tain extent it is admitted by the de
fense, that Frank was nervous on
Sunday after being informed of the
murder. The state contends that
this was the nervousness of a guilty
man, while the defense contends
that under the same circumstances
most anyone would have been very
much agitated.
Those who attended the card party
on the night of April 26 declare that
Frank was his natural self; that his
actions indicated anything but ner
vousness, and that he sat in the hall
and read for at least two hours dur
ing their visit to the Selig home.
By this testimony the defense hopes
to show that Frank had no knowl
edge of the crime until Informed by
the detectives, and consequently was
not nervous until after he. learned
that a little girl had been slain in
the factory of which he was super
intendent.
Court Records Broken
When Thursday morning’s session
of the trial opened all court rec
ords for Georgia had been broken.
The testimony through Wednes
day night amounted to 600,000
words, enough matter to fill 500
columns of newspaper print.
One feature of the past week’s
developments which stands out sig
nificantly is the loyalty of the de
fendant’s classmates from Cornell.
Several of the young men who at
tended college with him came from
their homes in the east to testify
to his good character. With them
came two professors of the univer
sity.
Friday was taken up with testi
mony by Atlantians bearing on
the good character of F^ank and by
evidence given by factory employes
against the character of Jim Con
ley, the negro who accuses Frank
of the crime and who admits having
disposed of the body after the
girl’s death.
Members of Conley’s own race
delcared that they would not be
lieve the negro on oath, that he
could not be trusted and that from
what they knew little dependence
could be put in what he said.
White women who knew both the
negro and Frank told the jury that
the negro was unreliable and that
from what they Knew Frank’s
character was good.
Forty-one witnesses. many of
them prominent Atlantians. bore
testimony to Frank’s good charac
ter on Friday and were followed
on the stand by the accused’s own
mother. Mrs. Rae Frank, of Brook
lyn, occupied the chair Friday aft
ernoon and resumed it Satur
day. Nothing of great interest
was developed by her testi
mony except that portion refer
ring to the letter which her
son wrote on the day of the tragedy
Railroads Demand Increase,
In Pay for Handling Mail
On , Account of Parcel Po i
Seventeen Western Lines Unite
in Petition to Postmaster
General Burleson, Not Satis
fied With 5 Per Cent In
crease Already Granted
(By Associated Press.)
ST. LOUIS, Aug. i«.—officials of sev
enteen western railroads, including the
Santa Fe, Burlington. Rock Island and
other trunk lines, signed a telegram that
was sent today to Postmaster General
Burleson Urging the government to in
crease the compensation of the roads for
handling the mails. The increase is
asked on the ground that the volume of
mail has greatly increased as a result
of the establishment of the parcel post
and will further increase after August
20.
The telegram was sent as the result of
investigations conducted by a committee
appointed by the railroads. The tele
gram says in part:
‘‘The undersigned are prompted re
spectfully to ask you to consider wheth
er the United States government is
really dealing fairly with the railroads
of the country as to the matter of pay-
in connection with the introduction and
extension of parcel post service.
“The testimony of the postoffice de
partment before the senate committee
July 25 showed that the first three
months’ business of the department
after the installation of the parcel post
had a gross increase in postal revenue
of 14.54 per cent, of which at least 9.16
per cent was attributed to the new par
cel post business.
‘‘On the basis of this statement the
government must have collected not less
than $11,266,800 in revenue from the
parcel post for the first six months be
ginning Januarv 1.
ONE INCREASE ALREADY.
"To remunerate the transportation
compar.ier# for the additional parcel post
business transported, congress pro
vided, beginning July 1, a 5 per cent
gross increase in their mail pay based
on rates, zones and weight limit in
the original act, although the addi
tional business transported amounted to
at least 9.16 per cent:, according to the
testimony of the postoffiv,e department
Thu extension of the parcel post In
augurated August 15, when the weight
limit was raised from 11 to 20 pounds
and mileage increased, is certain to
result in vast enlargement of busi
ness.
"The government will collect postage
on this business but no provision has
been made to pay the railroads for
transporting it. Not only will they re
ceive no compensation for this in
creased business but* will suffer the
actual loss of earnings previously de
rived from the same traffic when car
ried as express and freight.
‘‘Congress is In session and can im
mediately remedy this condition in ac
cordance with suggestions made by the
committee on railway mail pay in let
ter to you July 30. which we en
dorse.” f
Officials of the following railroads
were included among the signers of
the telegram: Atchison, Topeka and
Sante Fe: Missouri Pacific, Iron Moun
tain; Missouria, Kansas and Texas; St.
Louis and Southwestern; Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific; Illinois Central; St.
Louis and San Francisco; Denver and
Rio Grande; Texas and Pacific; Chicago
and Eastern Illinois.
and mailed to his uncle in New
York. This letter was introduced
as evidence. Its contents referred
to Memorial day and to grand opera
in Atlanta.
Saturday's Testimony
Fifteen girls who work or have
worked In the pencil factory were
on the witness stand Saturday and
of the number, only* one cast a slur
on the character of the factory su
perintendent. Miss Irene Jackson,
the daughter of Policeman A. W.
Jackson, who has quit' the employ
of the factory since the murder,
while under cross-examination de
clared that Frank had looked into
the dressing room of the factory
while some of the girls were in
only half attire.
Solicitor Dorsey made an attack
on the Pinkerton detectives Sat
urday while W. D. McWorth, one
of the agency’s men was testify
ing concerning a bloody bludgeon
found In the factory. The solici
tor charged that the Pinkertons
had not worked in harmony with
