The detectives still maintain that they have got the right man, but the unfortunate propensity Atlanta detectives have shown In past cases to secure convictions rather than Justice makes their opinions practi cally worthless so far as deducing anything from them Is concerned. The coroner's Inquest yesterday even'ng, whlih was expected to dis close facts and horrors unimagina ble, 'disclosed practically nothing that was not already known. The arrest of the man In Texas was an Idiotic mistake. The police here have neither clews nor evi dence nor even suspicion against a single llvng soul with the exception of Frank and the negro janitor. They have abandoned the theory that the negro Janitor himself com mitted the crime. Therefore, In the event the po lice fail to get evidence that will convict Frank, there Is every reason to expect that the case will dwin dle away Into an unsolved mystery. The detectives are going to try to convict Frank. Ut Is their only chance to “make good” on the case. But the police department, posed that they are waiting to as certain If the property might not he taken over, to be used for a school under the saqie management as the Vashtl Home. They, however, have given out no plans which they may have, at the present time.
