Gantt’s testimony was in the main a corroboration of what he told 1 he Georgian when he was arrested. His most striking testimony came when lie declared that Frank was nervous when he called at the factory for his shoes. He said when Coroner Done- hoo asked him to tell of his move ments Saturday night: T went to the factory to get my t-hoes and met Mr. Frank at the door and got permission to come in. When he saw me he appeared very nervous and started back into his office; then he came out again.

He said Frank discharged him from the factory because of a personal dif ference. Asked as to the nature of this difference, he said that there was a shortage of $2 in his payroll and hat Fr ink told him he must either lake the amount good or be dis- Gantt justified that he had never ieard Mary Phagan complain of her treatment at the factory and that he had never heard her say she could not trust Frank. While he was on the stand Gantt also threw new light on the wages paid the girls who work at the pencil factory. He said he paid off the girls, and had paid Mary Phagan every Sat urday while he handled the payrolj. He said her weekly salary was $4.05; Asked how %his was computed, he declared ahe received 7 1-11 cent* an hour for 55 hours’ work. Coroner Don- ehoo called attention to the fact that this did not figure up $4.06, but noth ing more was said about the matter / oy fither the witness or the Jurymen. K. E. Skipper 224 1 -2 Peters Street, declared positively that Leo Fjank was not one of the men he had seen on Trinity Avenue, near Forsyth Stree*, rushing a reeling girl along Saturday night about 11 o’clock.

He said that Frank did not resemble any of them. Tells of Mother’s Worry.

He said he didn’t follow the girl and the three men Saturday night because it Is a common occurrence to see things like that in Atlanta on Saturday night. J. W. Coleman, the stepfather of the dead child, told a pathetic story of her mothers worry over her con tinued absence from home Saturday night. He said he left home Satur day morning before Mary awoke, and that he had not seen her alive since last Friday night. "1 got home Saturday afternoon at 4 o’clock," testified Mr. Coleman, “and Mary had not come home; but we paid little attention to her absence then, as she often went to a moving picture show after work. I went downtown and came back about 7:20 o’clock, and Mrs. Coleman met me at the door. She said Mary had not come home yet, and we were shocked and began to worry. My wife said for me to eat supper and then we’d see if we could not find her. I went dpwn- town and tried to find Mary. I went to all the picture show*, and every where I could think of, but could not find her. "1 went back home about 10 o’clock, and Mrs. Coleman was nearly crazy with worry and anxiety. I thought maybe Mary’ had gone to Marietta with her aunt, Mattie Phagan, and that she had telephoned to a neighbor that she would not be home. I went to all the neighbors who had tele phones, but none of them had heard fr im her. We sat up nearly all night trying to figure out what had become of the girl, and decided to get up early and try to find her. Child Brings News of Crime. “As we were getting up the next morning little Ellen Ferguson came running up the steps. My wife was excited and exclaimed that something had happened to Mary. The Ferguson girl ran Into the houfc*e and cried that Mary had been murdered. Then she began screaming and my wife fainted. 1 caught a car and went downtown. 1 was with a friend. We passed de tectives leading a handcuffed negro, and we followed them to the pencil factory. The man there was not go ing to let me in until I told him who I was. Then 1 went in and did all 1 could to help in the investigation which the detectives had started.” Mr. Coleman testified that he had several times heard Mary speak of her employers, but had paid little at tention to her statements’. He didn’t remember whether she had ever said anything about Frank. He said she had often said that things went on at the factory that were not nice, and that some of the people there tried to get fresh. “She told most of those stories to her mother,” said Mr. Cole man. The examination of J A White, 58 Bonnie Brae Avenue, one of the two men who worked at the pencil factory Saturday afternoon, brought out for the first time the fact that in Frank's private office there is a wardrobe or closet large enough for a person to hide in. He testified that the closet was about 9 feet high and 4 feet wide, and was directly behind the door in Frank’s office. He said he went into Frank’s office when he left the factory Saturday to borrow $2, but didn’t no tice the closet. The office door, h" testified, was opened and resting against it. He said he didn’t notice whether Mr. Frank was excited. Didn’t Know of Basement Room. White testified that he had no ^knowledge of the small room which was found in the basement. He said the employees of the plant sometimes drank cans of beer in the basement, but said he had never heard of any women being brought in there Other witnesses called during the afternoon session of the Jury included Detective J.

Terminal Official Certain He Saw Girl. O. H. Clark, in charge of the check room at the Terminal Station, is con vinced that the girl who created a scene there last week, when the man she was with attempted to board a train, was Mary Phagan. Clark came out to-day with a story that substantiates, in part at least, the story told by the two station guards who watched the couple’s pe culiar actions. ('lark asserts that the incident oc curred on Saturday rather than Fri day, and the man, when he finally abandoned his trip at the girl’s ex postulations, went to the check room and put in his traveling bag. ('lark says he remembers distinctly that the identification tag on the bag bore the mark of the “National Pen cil Company.” New Evidence Is Favorable to Mullinax. Further evidence favorable to Ar thur Mullinax. one of the suspects held in connection with the Phagan mystery, developed to-day when D W. Adams, a street car conductor, as serted that E. L. Sentell, on whose identification Mullinax has been held admitted immediately after the in quest that he was not sure that h" saw Mullinax with Mary Phagan on Saturday night Adams said that Sentell seemed m doubt as to whether the girl with Mullinax was Mary Phagan or Peail Robinson, Mullinax’* sweetheart. It has been shown that Pearl Rob inson, on Saturday night when she accompanied Mullinax to the theater, was dressed much like Mary Phagan. Ohio Auto Magnate Is Sued for Divorce Mrs. Walter C. White.
