FEARS DISEASE PERIL IN RAZING OF OLD PLANT Upon his return today from an ex tended inspection trip of garbage dis posal plants in various cities, James G. Woodward. Atlanta’s next mayor, de clared that Atlanta's city officials were shout to spend 1200,000 too much on a new crematory and electric power plant. ■ I am convinced that the power plant, to cost SIOO,OOO, will be practically use less/' he declared. "Without that sea- t ture, $278,000 Is too much money for the contemplated crematory. I have seen ;i;i the crematory plants the Destructor Jompany of New York has built in the East. I am satisfied that if the plan outlin’d is carried out it will be a great mistake.” “We ought not to tear down thg_old ■ .matory until the new one is com- is not necessary to xtory .upon the site ~ ■* -marked that he was ■ ot yet a city official and that he was ing as a eitisen.

Untried Experiment, Asserts Woodward. Declaring that his motive for taking his position was solely business econ omy for Atlanta, Mr. Woodward said ie felt no animus toward the Destruc *or Company or any one else. He sajd he had made a thorough personal in vestigation and that he wanted the of ficial to consider it from a dispassion- of . combined crematory . .ot Is wholly experiment- No city has any’ such plant in successful operation. “In order to produce a force draft And provide the power to be used round the plant, the type of plant adopted by the city council must have boilers. T saw such plants in Milwau kee and on Staten Island. "When It conies to using this power to pump the city’s water or light the Whhf Way we are faced with a joke. In Milwaukee they collect garbage from 400,090 citizens. The estimated pow’er from ‘hat amount of garbage Is 600 rilowatts per day. It is absurd to figure that Atlanta’s garbage will produce 1,200 kilowatts. Our contract with the Destructor Company provides that for SIOO,OOO a plant will be installed in con junction with the crematory. On the 'unds that we are to have a munici ci. electric plant, a number of city of have announced their support of ‘he contract. tut I say that that power plant would be a failure.

ASSERTS POLICE DIDN’T WANT REAL SLAYERS I I NEW YORK, Nov. 14.—That Deputy Police Commissioner Dougherty’ did not want to know the name of the actual slayer of Herman Rosenthal, the gain- I bier,, but that he thought he had the j goods on the four gunmen now on trial for the murder and wanted to convict i them, was the declaration of Harry’ j Horowitz, “Gyp the Blood,”* under | cross-examination this' afternoon. De- I spite every effort. Deputy Prosecuting i Attorney Moss was unable to shake the | early testimony of the accused gunman, j Hprowitz swore that he and Frank i Muller, or "Whitey* Lewis.” went to a j saloon on Second avenue about 10 , o’clock on the night of July 15, and ' were later joined there by "Lefty Louie.” They stayed there until mid- ; night. Then they went to Louis Web- > bar's poker room at Sixth avenue and i Forty-second street, where they met ' Frank ('lriflyl, or “Dago Frank,” the| fourth gunman. Sam, Sehepps. Harry j Val’fon, Webber, Jack Rose and a* strange nan were all there, “Gyp" said. | Places Guilt For Slaying on Others. Soon Rose. Webber, Valioi),, Schepps and the stiange- went out, but in fit teen minutes the stranger returned, j "Dago Frank” then left for homei "Gyp" , sai<l, but he (the witness). Rosenberg j iand Mullen went with the strange man ' ; toward the Metropole hotel, two blocks . away. Then followed Horowitz's story of the ■ actual shooting in which he exonerated i himself and his friends, placing the t guilt on others. "We stopped in front of the Metro pole. Rose, Vallon, Webber and Schepps started to cross the street. The strange man joined them and we started across to meet them half-way. All of a sud den, just as they were opposite the doerway* of the Metropole, the strange man turned. There was a flash and a shot, and I saw Vallon and Webber shooting at a figure. The stranger joined in the shooting. We were freightened and ran toward the subway station. We got into an up-town train > and rode to our apartment in Seventh j avenue. ’Dago Frank’ was there when i we arrived. I never shot any one. Neither myself nor any- of my three companions carried weapons. I did not know until half past 8 the next morn ing that any one had been killed." Denies in Every Detail Rose’s Story. “Gyp” denied singly and collective ly every* statement in the testimony of ■Rose as to the trip to the Garden res- I taurant early in July for the purpose ! of murdering Rosenthal when the plot : was balked by the presence of a Burns I detective. Horowitz said he did not ■ know' Rosenthal. "Rose never asked n • to kill Rosen thal and m and my friends never said ■ were are ready to do the „' >b tonigh,.' said the witness with veheme; e. District Attorney Moss began cross examination bringing out first that “Gyp," as young as he is, has been con victed five times of crimes. Without a trace of embarrassment : Horowitz admitted that he had never done any work, living by thievery. The witness told the following story of his and Lefty Louie’s whereabouts after the murder:-- "We went to 2728 Seveaitli avenue, directly after the murder, and next day went to Yonkers. From there we went to Kingston, then to Monticello and finally to Harvard, Conn. Then we re turned to New York on July 22. We intended to give ourselves up and walk ed past police headquarters while dis cussing this, but I objected at the lust minute, saying they would stick a mur der charge on us." Gyp and Louie then went to Brook lyn, where they remained until cap tured two months later. Frank Muller, alias "Whitey Lewis,” followed Gyp, the Blood, on the stand. He corroborated the testimony given by Gyn to the effect that Jack Rose, Harry Vallon anil Hrldgle Webber were the gunmen who fired the Shota into the gambler's body. He denied that he or any of the gunmen had fired any of the shuts anil declared their arrests were the issult of a plot hatched by Rose, Vullon, Webber and H« heppr, wl« > wanted to place the blame on them.

Nov. 14.—The body of Miss Minnie March man. a beautiful young girl, lies unburied while Atlanta experts are i waiting to examine the contents of her stomach. A warrant has been : issued against Tan (.’leghorn, a young farmer, charging him with hav J ing caused the death ot Minnie Alarehman, and officers are search img for him. (Leghorn has been missing for four days. Preparations had been made for the burial of the young woman. I who lived with her widowed mother six miles from Ashburn, when th i family physician and friends of the family became suspicious and or dered the funeral stopped. It is reported here that Cleghorn and Miss I Marchman were sweethearts, and visited Ashburn together some dav s lago. While there, it is said. Cleghorn purchased fruit and candies which he gave to Miss Marehman, and after eating these she wa> i attacked with convulsions and died in agony. At the coroner’s inquest today the mother vs the dead girl tes ! tified that she died after eight eonvuisions, foaming al the mouth and with every indication that she had been poisoned. The mother had not seen her daughter take, any medicine, and there was no I trace of poison in the house. Girl Die? Four Days After Man Vanishes. Friends of the dead gill say Cieg home had promised to marry her and their visit to Ashburn was ostensibly I with the purpose of securing a mar riage license, but Cleghorne made some excuse and the pair agreed to postpone the wedding for a few days. The girl went back to her home in the country and Cleghorne disappeared. It was four days after his disappearance that Min nie Marchman died. , Doctors Dixon and Thompson, of the yillage of Rebecca, were'called to the inquest. They removed the stomach from the body of Miss Marehtnan and forwarded it to the state chemist at Atlanta for a close examination. It is expected that the analysis will reveal just what poison, if any, killed the girl. Friends Looked For Their Marriage. The little town of Ashburn, county | seat of Turner county, is stirred as it I was never stirred before. Minnie Marchman was known as one of the prettiest girls of the lumber country and one of the most popular. She and young Cleghorne had been "going together,” as young folk say, for many months, and their marriage was looked upon as a. certainty. But for some time Miss Marchman had been avoiding her friends and living almost as a recluse, seeing only Cleghorne. Stomach Examined For Poison Here. Miss Marchman’s stomach was re ceived in Atlanta Monday afternoon by Dr. John Funke, director of the Carne gie laboratory - of pathology and bac teriology, a department of the Atlanta College of Physicians and Surgeons on North Butler siieet, from Dr. J. W. Dickson of Rebecca, near Ashburn, Ga. Dr. Funke has handled many poison eases, having up to two years ago been in the pathological department of Jes- Dr. Funke started examining the ferson Medical college, Philadelphia, stomach Tuesday morning. The ex-' amination had not proceeded far enogh, he said, to give out anything definite to show poison had been used, made,” declared Dr. Funke. "The first "There are two examinations to be and the second is microscopic, of the is chemical, of the gastric secretions, membranes in the lining of the stom ach. Hydrochloric, nitric sulphuric and other adds are used in analyzing the gastric juices, and a high-powered microscope in determining whether the membranes have been affected by poi son. Makes Two Tests to Determine Death Cause. "I have started both examinations, that of the Juices first, and while that is on I have started the other, so that the analysis of the case is progressive. About three or tour days are required to tel! anything deflnitely. Owing to tile fuel that my present conclusions might be erroneous, I won’t say what pr-qrrtMs bus been made thus far. "In inner of suddvn death th.- man 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE ner of dying tells much to those who are interested in the examination. Tt might be a ease of death from brain or heart or lung or stomach trouble anfi in performing an autopsy the phy sician would want to know how the person acted before dying.” Dr. Funk was Interested to learn thru the dispatches from Ashburn stated that Miss ‘Marchman died after tw hours of suffering. Then he con tinued: > an autopsy, the thing to do in poison If nothing definite is determined by cases is to tie up the stomach at both ends so that the juices will remain intact, and have examination made un. der chemicals and microscope. Strych nine can be taken into the stomach and absorbed either in the stomach vi all- oi the walls of the intestines and leave no apparent sign behind Only expert examination brings out be yond question the cause of death.” MADDOX SEABOARD DIRECTOR; HARAHAN TO SUCCEED HIMSELF PETERSBURG, VA..
