FRANK AND NEGRO ARE GIVEN “ THIRD DEGREE” All the afternoon the police have been “sweating” Leo M.' Frank, superintendent of the factory where the girl worked, and putting through the "third degree” Lee, the negro watohman at the factory. A blood-stained shirt, which the detectives say they found at f ♦ 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 fire 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 wa( 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 Black and Harry Scott, Pinkerton man. left police headquarters a) 2:80 for West Knd to arrest a negro woman friend of the black prisoner. The net was evidently 'being tightened about. Newt Lee. the night watchman. Superintendent l.eo M. Frmfk, head officer of the National Pencil Company, was taken from the factory shortly before noon by Detective Black and Harry Scott, of the Pinkertons. The police Ray that Frank is not under axrjjst, 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 actf There must be some reason other than the man’s personal safety, under consderation. Frank has not yet figured as of im portance in the case. Attorney Barred, Then Admitted Luther Z. Rosser, attorney for Frank, endeavored to see his client. The police refused to let him do so. Why? Lawyer Rosier retired hastily declaring he would apply to Judge Bell for a writ of habeas corpus for his client, and would thus take him out of the control of the police. Later, when Rosser's determination to tight for Frank be came known, Chief Beavers admitted that the exclusion of Rosaer “was a mistake," that the police orders had been taken too liter ally, and Rosser was then permitted to talk to his elient. Rosser abandoned his plan to sue out a writ of habeas corpus. The police "explanation” only added mystery to mystery, and really explained nothing. When Rosser reached tile police station he was told that strict orders had been given against anyone seeing Frank. If Frank was not under arrest, by what right was his lawyer forbidden to see him? As soon as the police station was reached Frank was taken at once into the detectives’ office and the doors were barred against all. The detectives would say nothing of what took place behind the (dosed doors. The detective office is on the third floor. At the bottom of the stairs on the second floor Call Officer John West was stationed to liar all who attempted to go to the floor above. Frank To Be Kept Under Guard It was learned late this afternoon that Frank will he held on the technical charge of "suspicion.” lie will not he placed in a cell, but he will be under guard. An extra policeman will he em ployed to keep watch over the factory superintendent in the.police station and Frank will pay for The services of this man. Luther Z. Rosser, counsel for Frank, would not make a defi nite statement this afternoon as to his plans for obtaining the free dom of his client. He said that he would institute proceedings if he considered Frank was being held an unnecessaiily long time. At the same time that the Frank proceedings were under way Gober & Jackson, attorneys for J. M. Gantt, also in custody in con nection with tlie crime, made formal application for a writ of habeas corpus before Judge Bell and a hearing was set for 4 o’clock this afternoon. Frank previously had been questioned by the police. He was brought to the station Monday morning in company with his at torneys and there made a lengthy and detailed statement to the detectives. The authorities had announced they believed Frank had no knowiedge of the crime. Their sudden action to-day appears to be freighted with great significance in view of the fact that they
