where it was found as soon as they made a trip out there.
In spite of the declaration that there is evidence enough on
hand to convict and hang the negro, the feeling persists that there
are many things to clear up, if they have not already been cleared,
by the detectives.
If the crime was committed between noon and shortly after
o'clock in the afternoon, the only persons in the building were
Arthur White, Harry Denham and Leo Frank, according to the
evidence.
Hours Still Unaccounted For
If the crime was committed between shortly after II o'clock
jand ti o’clock a1 night, Frank was the only man in the building.

is to be cleared* up.
The public says the ease is not concluded. They have not
been given enough evidence of such a convincing nature as to
bring them to the belief that the negro is solely responsible for
the brutal strangling of the Phagan girl.
It is admitted that some of the circumstances are damning.
T| 1( > old shirt found in a barrel in the negro’s home makes the
case look very black for him. The notes seem to absolutely prove
that he had a part in the tragedy—but convicting Newt Lee is far
from clearing up the mystery, as the evidence stands to-day.
Net Closing About \
Lee, Says Laniard
Chief of Detectives Lauford was confident this morning that;
he and his department had completed a strong ease to present to
the Grand Jury for indictment, lie said that the evidence against I
the negro night watchman at the National Pencil Factory had!
grovvil stronger since yesterday.
He declared, however, that there still appeared the strongest
indications thal another person, in all probability a white man,
was involved in some manner in the crime.
Many puzzling questions have arisen since the closing of the
net around Lee began.
The detectives have been utterly unable to trace the girl from
the factory after she arrived there Saturday noon to obtain her
pay from Leo Frank, the superintendent. They have interviewed
every friend and every acquaintance of the girl. None of them
saw her at any time Saturday afternoon.
If she was kept in the factory from Saturday noon, it was not
Lee who kept her in the building or induced her to stay, for he
was not in the building at noon.
Superintendent Frank made this statement to the police him
self. lie said that the negro came to the factory Saturday after
noon between d and 4 o'clock. Frank said that he told the watch
man that he needn’t stay about the building during the afternoon,
but that he should return about ti o'clock.
Lee went and returned at the time set by his employer. This
appears to be undisputed.
With this much granted, these questions are being asked
"Who was the person, if any, who kept Mary Phagan in the
factory, if she was kept there, from the time that she arrived to
get her money at noon until the negro watchman arrived at (I
o'clock in the evening?”
Startling and Vital Questions
‘‘If Mary was not kept in the building by some one during
these hours, by whom was she induced to enter the building later
in the day or at night- sureh not. by any stretch of the imagine, j
tion. by the negro?”
“Is it reasonable to believe that the negro could have lured |
her imo the building after darkness had fallen, or. in fact, that
she would'have been about the building alone at this time? What
could have brought her here? '
“If the negro is guilty of the crime, is it not almost certain
that some other person, probably a white man. was responsible for
her presence in the building either a man who kept her there
when she came for her pay or one who lured her there after Frank
had gone to his home?”
“Where was Mary Phagan between 12 o'clock and ti o'clock
if tin- crime was committed after ;l li the white men had I >fl ihe
building?
It also is regarded by many as strange that tile negro, as un
intelligent as he may be, did uoi burn or otherwise destroy the
blood-stained shirt which he is said to have worn the night of the
crime, .instead, the detectives say that he threw it in a barrel

Statistics From 41 Big Towns
Give Smaller Number of Fatal
ities From Diseases.
The death rate is decreasing in the
larger cities, according to statistics
of the Bureau of Census, of the De
partment of Commerce, published to
day. For 41 of 50 cities of 100.000 or
more population the mortality for
1911 was lower than in 1910. and for
28 of 49 of the cities, making live-
year comparisons, the death rate was
lower in 1911 than in 1906.
The report shows decrease in the
death rate from typhoid fever. In
1911 the rate was 21 in 100.000 popu
lation. as compared to 23.5 for 1910
[and 21.1 for 1909. Scarlet fever was
considerably less fatal than in the
years 1908 and 1910. The rate was 8.8
in 100.000 population, as compared
I with a death rate ranging from 11.14
| to 11.9 from 1908 to 1910.
Whooping-cough caused more
! deaths than measles or scarlet fever.
The death rate was 11.3 in 100,000
I population.
There was a startling increase in
| the death rate from pellagra. Deaths
in 1911 were 659 as compared with
j 368 in 1910. an increase of 79 per

HirSTER!
E
Records Purport to Show Watch
man Failed to Register Three
Times Saturday Night.
Wiiat does tlie National Pt ncil Fac
tory time clock show?
It was the duty of Newt Lee, the
negro night watchman, to punch it
every iiaif-hpur. Records brought to
the police station purport to show
that Lee three times failed to punch
the clock.
But Leo M. Frank, superintendent
of the factory, told a Georgian re
porter Sunday afternoon that Lee had
punched the clock regularly and that
the clock record was all right.
Misses Were Not Consecutive.
Accepting the evidence of the rec
ords at the police station, the case is
more beclouded by their introduction
than it was before.. Although they
appear to show that Lee failed three
times to punch the clock, these
misses were not consecutive and the
intervals between punches never were
moii than one hour.
The records show that the first al
leged “miss” was not until after 9:32
Saturday night.
Where, then, was Mary Phagan
Loro the time she drew her pay at
noon—when Lee was not in I lie lac-
lory until 9:32 Saturday night?
Makes Mystery Still Deeper.
And if Frank’s first statement was
not a mistake and Lee did not miss
these three punches, how would Lee
hav ■ nad time to go to his home at 40
Henry Street, change a bloody shirt,
and return to the factory within a
half-hour';
The introduction of the time clock
records lias served only to wrap the
crime in deeper mystery and to add
to the innumerable conflicting pieces
of evidence.
