While the tendency of the police
straight through has seemed to be to
doubt that Mary Phagan, the mur
dered girl, really wrote the smicl
notes found beside her body purport
ing to give a clew to her murderer,
the girl's stepfather. W. .1. Coleman,
thinks H possible that she may have
written one of the scrawls.
That one is the note written on the
little yellow factory slip so faintly
traced it is almost Impossible to re id
It. It is the one that says:

GARRISON MOVES TO RID

put an end to appeals 1o him for

War Department outside the regular
military channels for favored treat

promptly be referred to that officer.
He will be required to report to the
Secretary whether he is responsible

Only time can tell, if anything.
Doubts Other Note's Authorship.
The other note whose authority Mr
Coleman doubts in the one scrawled
on a notepad. It reads as it was at
ftrst translated.
He said he wood love me laid
down like the night witch did it
but that long tall black negro did
it by his self.
This note, however, brings up an
argument advanced by several people
who have studied it carefully. They
have found that in some way one
word, “play,” was omitted in the first
translation, and they think that in
stead of ‘ night witch” the words wer^
Make Your Letters
Help Bring Shrine
Hie first contestants entered in the simencan-Kjeorgian
Pony Outfit Contest made it clear that there is to be no lack of interest.
“We intend.to win.” was the slogan that accompanied nomination blanks
received all day yesterday.
Any white boy or girl can enter this contest, whether living in Atlanta
or the out-of-town territory that the Georgian and Sunday American are
sold in.
The plan for distribution of prizes and the contest rules published yes
terday will appear again to-morrow. Every contestant should read them
carefully.
Subscription blanks and printed instructions for the use of contestants
will be ready within a few days. For the information of those who want to
begin work at once we publish the following:
Everybody Urged to Use Reminder
of Atlanta’s Conquest for Con

Everyone wlm writes a letter can
help Atlanta to win the honor of en

of the Mystic Shrine.
Fred Houser, secretary of the con
vention bureau, tells how.
Across the bottom of the last sheet

Business firms are requested to
have this printed on the stationery

Translated in that way, the argu
ment would go to bear out the ex
pressed belief of the girl’s stepfather
that the negro committed the crime.
Ollie Phagan, the 18-year-old sis
ter of Mary, said that, while she did
not know, of course, she did not be
lieve that Mary wrote either of the
notes. She knew her handwriting
well, and the rough letters did not
look like hers, although they might
possibly be.
Excitement prevailed to-day among
those interested when it vvps found
that the scene in which the fearful
struggle between the dead girl and
her assailant took place was not on
the second floor of the pencil factory,
as it was thought, where a few
strands of her hair were found ir,

from the front of her lavender dress,
which was new, and which the child
was wearing for ihe first time.
It was said that the discovery was
made by some of the girls employed
at the factory, who slipped upon the
blood which, in one place, had formed
a small pool. They ran out excited by
the appearance of the place. The
dead girl’s hair had only caught in
the steel lathe when her murderer
had dragged her by it.
This would go to corroborate tin*
belief of several persons acquainted
with the tragedy’s various angles that
