The police began a complete probe
into the affairs of the conditions at
the plant of the National Pencil Com
pany late this afternoon when Miss
Maud Klla Eubanks, 360 Washing
ton Street, stenographer for Leo M.
Frank, was brought t'o police head
quarters and submitted to a tho -
roigh questioning by Newport Lan-
ford.
The young woman, who appear 1
to be about 1” years old, and w.js
stylishly dressed, went into the de
tective's room at 5 o’clock and was
closeted with Lanford for at. least
an hour.
Whi’e the police sedulously refused
to disclose the reason for the ex
amination it is understood ;h;tt th*• >
are working on the theory that Miss
Kubanks can aid materially ir. re
vealing conditions at the pencil fac
tory.

N STAND
Describes Finding of Body of Slain
Girl and Events at Peneil Factory
Before and at Time of Discovery
of Crime.
Newt Lee, watchman at the National Peneil Company's fac
tory, who notified the police of ttie discovery of Mary Phagan’s
body, told his complete story on the stand at the coroner’s inquest
to-day.
Lee was on the stand for more than an hour and was plied
with questions intended to throw light on the tragedy. He re
plied to questions in a straightforward way, and in detail his story
is substantially the same as he has made to the reporters ever
since his arrest.
His most significant answers concerned his employer, Leo M.
Frank, superintendent of the factory. Lee said that when he re
ported at 4 o’clock for work, Frank told him to go home until 6.
ite declared that Frank seemed excited, but added that he attrib
uted that excitement to the fact that Frank had just discharged
John Gantt, and might have feared trouble. He said he reported
back for work at 6 o’clock and that a few hours later Frank called
him up by phone from his home to ask him if things were all right.
The witness testified that his employer had never done this before.
One of the important pieces of testimony given in the after
noon was by F. M. Berry, assistant cashier of the Fourth National
Bank, who expressed the opinion that the test note written by Lee.
under the direction of the detectives, was written by the auhor of
Ihe two notes found by the body of Mary Phagan. Berry wished
1 his understood merely as an opinion.
F. M. Berry, assistant cashier at the Fourth National Bank,
identified one of the notes found beside the girl’s body as written*
by the same hand as a note written by Lee for the detectives.
G. W. Epps, Jr.. Mary Phagan’s boy sweetheart, testified the
girl had asked him recently to come to the factory to accompany
her home, that Superintendent Frank had been in the habit of
going down to the froid door and waiting until she came out, and
that Frank had winked at her.
Chief of Police Beavers said that Leo M. Frank, superintend
ent of the National Peneil Company, woufd go on 1he stand before
the coroner’s jury probably late this afternoon.
The Chief said he could not force him to testify as he was in
the nature of a defendant, but Attorney Rosier said there would
be no objection.
E. L. Sentell, on the stand this afternoon, reiterated that he
had Reen Mary Phagan with Arthur Mullinax at midnight Satur
day night. His testimony and that of other witnesses is printed
on page 4.
