While the tendency of the police
straight: through has seemed to be to
doubt that Mary Phagan, the mur
dered girl, really wrote the annul
notes found beside her body purport
ing to give a clew to her murderer,
the girl's stepfather, W J, Coleman,
think* ft possible that she may have
written one of the ecrewls.
That one Is the not|B written on the
little yellow factory slip—so faintly
traced it is almost Impossible to reel
It. It is the one that says:
mama that negro hired down
here did this I went to get water
and he pushed me down this hole
a long tall negro black that has It

while play with ine
"Somehow, It looks like her hand
writing to me," said Mr. Coleman.
"But, of courst I can not be sure.
Vow, about the other note 1 am
doubtful. It seems to be written too
well for the child to have done It l.i
the almost Insensible condition sne
must have been In at the time.
Whether she wrote either of the notes
of her own accord, though, or wheth
er she was forced to do It by her
murderer to turn suspicion from him
self. of course le mere speculation.
Only time can tell, If anything.'
Doubts Other Note's Authorship.
The other note whose authority Mr
Coleman doubts Is the one scrawh'd
on a notepad. It reads as it was at
first 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 t» carefully. They
have found that In some way one
word, "play," was omitted In the flr>.t
translation, and they think that In
stead of "night witch" the words were
meant to mean "night watch," which
Is relative to the subject. With these
changes the note would read:
"He said he wood love me laid down
pisv like the night watch did it, but
that long tall black negro did It by
his self.”
They ask: If the murderer told
the child he was going to "play like
the night watch did it,” and then the
child goes on to explain that It wasn't
the night watchman at all that did
It, but another negro, wouldn’t that
appear that the child was endeavor
ing to shield the night watchman'.’
Argue Againet Watohman.
They also ask: Would a child In
the predicament Mary Phagan was
supposed to be In, Insensible and her
mind wandering, be thinking of try
ing to shield a night watchman In
her note, even before she described
the man who had treated her so
cruelly?
Again they ask: Who would be the
most Interested person In the world
in saving the hide of the night
watchman?
Did the child write the notes her
self. was she forced to write them,
or did somebody else write them?
The notes are written to throw sus-

Translated in that way, the argu
ment would go to bear out the ex
pressed belief of the girl'- 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 was 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 hah were found it:,
the cogs of a steel lathe, but in the
dressing room of the place. This was
made certain by drops of blon : .
over the floor u the room, and *
lag of her dress that vv i- pick,,. t:

j -ilk, and had been cut with a knife

It was said that the discovery was
made by some of the girls employed

In either instance, the assailant had
been keeping close tab on her actions,
and either procured a key for him
self to go in, or bribed the watchman

There are many causes of pre
mature gray hair—sickness, a ner
vous temperament, impoverished
blood, deficient scalp nutrition,
sometimes it is hereditary and the
daughter finds herself quite gray
in her early thirties. We don’t
always know the cause, but we do
know that gray hair adds at least
ten years to the age of a woman,
be she old or young, and when a
young woman's hair begins to fade
and lose its color, it is very foolish
for her to let it go on unheeded.
In a year or two she will be an
old gray-headed woman. And just
a little care and treatment can
save her hair and her youth.
Our Robinnaire Hair Dye is not a
vulgar bleach or artificial coloring
for the hair. It is a pure, scien
tific preparation of tonic virtue
which restores your hair to its
own natural color and beautiful,
healthy conditions. If your hair is
losing its life and color, there la
no reason at all why you should
hesitate to use this pure restora
tive. any more than that you
should refuse to use a cure for
dandruff. The fading gray hair
and the dandruff both result from
scalp diseases and both should
be treated.

in our own laboratory and per
sonally guarantee it to be pure and
harmless. Xon-sticky and does
not stain skin or scalp. Use it at
once your hair is turning gray,
