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.

That question must be answered it the mystery 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 SPECTIlCIlliR MIBICITT DUTH BATE fill SUFFMETTES SHUNS DEGREASE ‘Babbies’ Ransack London Head quarters Before Crowds—Ar rest Five Militants.

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 j cent. . i ■ ■ ■■ ——- Wins Widow He Told of Husband's Death Commander H. G.

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.
