Clark and Bryan, Once
Cronies, Do Not Speak
As Convention Result
Speaker Holds Nebraskan Re
sponsible for His Defeat;
Squabble Is Feared.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18—William
J. Bryan, of Nebraska, and Champ
Clark, of Missouri, no longer speak as
they pass by. For the first time in
many months, Mr. Bryan and the
speaker of the house find themselves in
the same town.
Mr. Clark has arrived here for the
session. Mr. Bryan is in Washington
I filling a number of lecture dates.
In the old days Clark and Bryan
were cronies. This was before the Bal
timore convention. Men close to
Speaker Clark say he holds the Ne
braskan responsible for his defeat.
Friends of the speaker are Inclined
to be resentful over a statement made
by Bryan that Mr. Clark should be re
elected presiding officer of the house.
They say Mr. Clark was assured of an
other term before Mr. Bryan had any
thing to say on the subject.
Leader Underwood fell out with Bry
an a year or so ago. and Democrats
predict that if Mr. Bryan attempts to
meddle in house affairs Messrs. Clark
.and Underwood will fight him hard.
Just how President Wilson will be able
to steer clear of the controversy is a
matter of lively concern among Demo
crats.

Only the governor can now save the

TRAGEDY TO GEORGIAN
I
ASHBURN, GA.. Nov. 18.—Tan Cleg
horn, the 20-year-old planter whom a
coroner's jury recommended to be held
for Investigation in connection with
the death of pretty 17-year-old Min
nie Marchman, walked into the office
of Justice of the Peace Arthur Pate, in
Amboy, today, and surrendered, re
marking that he understood there was
a reward of $2,000 for his capture.
He was informed that no warrant
had been issued for him; that the re
ward report was erroneous, and he was
allowed to go without arrest. He was
accompanied by his nephew. Nelson
Cleghorn, a close, neighbor.
Leaving Amboy, young Cleghorn
drove to Ashburn, a distance of nine
| miles, boldly walking the streets hero
| this afternoon and shaking hands with
friends. To a Georgian reporter Cleg
horn talked freely, denying any com
plicity whatever in the death of Miss
Marchman and disputing the alleged
story of the girl that he was engaged
to be married to her. He declared he
had not been In hiding but had been
at his home, a quarter of a mile from
the Marchman home, since two days
after the girl died.
Cleghorn’s Own
Story of Mystery.
“I decided to give up today simply
to show my friends and others in this
county that I have not run away as has
been freely reported,” said Cleghorn.
“I have been at my home in Am
boy district, making no effort what
ever to hide, as I had no reason to hide.
My home is but a short distance from
the home of the Marchmans, and if
members of that family have not seen
me it was their own fault. I could
have been arrested at any time.
■'When I heard that a reward of
$2,000 had been offered for me, I just
determined to set at rest all of these
wild rumors of any disappearance. As
to Miss Marchman, the story that I
was engaged to marry her !• untrue.
1 had never even discussed marriage
with her. I had taken her out buggy
riding a number of times, but had
never made love to her.
"She was a nice, pleasant girl, and I
liked her as u good friend, and noth
ing more.”
With a dramatic motion of his hand,
the young planter exclaimed:
"And I swear to you now that I
never harmed that girl in any way. I
wouldn't have harmed a hair of her
head for anything In this wide world."
Explaining his visit to Aenbum, with
Miss Marchman a few days before her
tragic death, ho said:
"We drove into Ashburn that day
just as we had done other times. We
spent but a short time here, and then
I took her home: there was nothing
strange to this visit at all. As to her
eating fruit and candy, supposed to
have been poisoned, that is all bosh; 1
never bought her any fruit or candy,
and she never ate any. It was fully
twelve or fifteen days before she died
that I left Ashburn. 1 went first to
Conyers, Ga., to visit a relative, John
Perkle, and after a few days there went
to the home of Albert Perkle, another
relative, in Buford.
"Then I came back home, arriving
here two days after the death of Miss
Marchman. That was the first I knew
of her death. When I left here on my
visit she was not even ill, so far as I
know. When I found that such a stew
had been raised over her death and that
my name was connected with it, T de
cided to stay at home until the affair
was cleared, but I have been placed in
such a false light that in justice to my
friends 1 wanted them to know that I
am right here, and here to stay. This
whole thing has been trumped up by
certain people who have it in for me;
that's the whole story.”
Cleghorn is 20 years of age and is
of neai appear::nee. He converses in
a mild-mannered sort of way and
doesn’t give one the impression of be
ing a bad man.
