The statement came at the end of a second long conference between John Black, city detec tive; Harry Scott, Pinkerton detective, and Leo Frank, superintendent of the National Pencil Company factory. Additional clews furnished by the head of the pencil factory were responsible for the closing net around the negro watchman. With the solution of the mystery at hand came the further information that what suspicion had rested on Frank was being rapidly swept away by the damaging evidence against the black man. It was announced that he probably would be liberated to night or in the morning. "ft.looks a <n'“.at deal better for Frank,-who has been de tained only for his own protection and to furnish further informa tion to the department," said the detectives. Two more arrests are likely in connection with the case. The detectives say that they have clews which make them certain that these two persons were connected in some manner in the crimai or have knowledge of the details. Gantt Gets Habeas Corpus Writ J. M. Gantt, one of the five men held in connection with the! strangling, was turned over to the Sheriff’s office this afternoon by the Oity authorities on a writ of habeas corpus granted in the) court of Judge Bell. The warrant charging murder still holds, but the effect of the habeas corpus will be to enable Gantt to make bond. •Chief of Detectives Lanford in replying to the action for a writ declared that it had not been his intention to hold Gantt; an unnecessarily length of tme. He was kept in custody, he said, pending a preliminary hearing Wednesday afternoon in the court of Justice of the Peace Powers and the sitting of the coroner'^ jury Wednesday morning. Judge George F. Gober, a relative of Gantt, applied for tho writ, and E. A. Stephens, assistant Solicitor General, defended the course of the Chef of Detectives. "We hav^e eliminated Mullinax, Gantt and Bailey from sus picion," said a detective. The detectives are practically certain that Mary Phagan never left the pencil factory after she got her pay envelope from Frank Saturday noon. Wtih hours of ceaseless investigation and inquiry they have been utterly unable to trace her away from the factory after sh» entered there Saturday noon. Every known acquaintance that she had has been interviewed. None of them saw saw her on the street Saturday night, although she said she was going to see the Memorial Day parade. Bloody Shirt in Negro's Home A blood-stained shirt, which the detectives say they found at the home of Lee, was shown to the negro this afternoon in an ef fort to break him down. The negro admitted the shirt was his, but declared that he had not seen it before for two years. Lee was under a grueling' lire of questions all day. Shortly before Superintendent Frank was brought to the station Detective Black came from the home of Lee. He carred a package under his arm. He would not divulge its contents, but very soon after it was obtained Frank was under arrest and Lee was confronted with the garment. There was an unconfirmed rumor that Lee had broken down and given most important information to the police. Detective Itlaek and Harry Scott, Pinkerton man, left police headquarters at 2 :d() for West End to arrest a negro woman friend of the Idaek prisoner. The net was evidently being tightened about Newt Lee, the night watchman. Superintendent Leo M. Frank, head officer of the National Peueil Company, was taken from the factory shortly before noon by Detective Week and Harry Scott, of the Pinkertons. The police say that Frank is not under arrest, that he was put under police guard for his own personal safety, and that there are no charges against him. Why, then, did the police act: There must be some reason other than the man's jwrsouui
