Solicitor General Dorsey Engages
Private Sleuths to Run Down Clews
Not As Yet Fully Developed-Grand
Jury May Consider Mystery.
Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey this afternoon engaged pri
vate detectives to run down clews which have not as yet been fully
developed by the men already working on the Phagan case.
These detectives are to investigate certain phases of the mys
tery which have previously received little attention, and whcli, he
thinks, may be of importance. __
Mr. Dorsey had conferences
to-day with the city detectives
and with Miss Hattie Harnett,
of the Pinkertons. The new
Grand Jury, which meets Mon
day, may consider the Phagan
ease.
Tile Grand Jury met this morning
and considered only routine matters.
The Phagan case was not taken up at
all.
The report that the National'Guard
had been mobilized originated be
cause Adjutant-General Nash re
quested some of the officers of the
Fifth regiment t be within call in
case of trouble. A few members of
the Fifth Regiment were at the Ar
mory last evening, but all ha(^ re
turned home by midnight.
Inquest To Be Thorough.
Coroner Donehoo said to a Georgian
reporter that the mystery which sur
rounds the killing of Mary Phagan
is by no means solved, and that the
investigation would be carried on as
’ eg as there in a thread of evidence
to ho unraveled.
• i v.'ou! 1 1 not be holding this- jury,”
said the Coroner, “if I were satisfied
(i v.» re reasonably certain as to the
facts in. our possession. A case like
thie, so deeply wrapt i-n mystery, can
. not ho solved in a day, and if there is
anybody in Atlanta who is not pleased
with the progress being made, njs
public spirit should make him come
forward and lend his assistance. N *
pride of office, certainly, will keep me
from taking any reasonable sugges
tion and following it for all it is
worth. It is up to the people to help
all they can. /
Following Every Clew.
“And why should the public de
mand such great haste? It requires
weeks and sometimes months before
some of these mysteries can be
cleared. Investigation of the Holland
killing out at the ice house here. I re
ran. went on about six weeks before
anything definite was found out. It is
on ly in the magazines that solutions
are forthcoming in a day.
“It is not beyond the bounds of pos
sibility that the body of Mary Phagan
xvlll be . churned fora further exami
nation.

Newest Facts in Case.
The exact facts in the Phagan case
this edition of The Georgian goes
to pre>-s*ean be stated as follows:
FIRST—The Coroner’s inquest
is not yet ended. It has been ad
journed until Monday afternoon
next; and until it is ended the
State i.“ not likely to take hold of
the ease except in so far as Solici
tor General Dors< y may deem it
5 necessary to acquaint himself with
facts that may aid him when the
Coroner’s jury renders its verdict.
.V f: r this is done the case is
turned o\ • r to t ie Solicitor Gen-
r. r ,i. as thr chief prosecuting of-
rh-« of Fulton < ’ouitty.
SKCOND.— It is reported that a
large nu* r of witnesses -200
are to be subpenaed by the Cor
oner’s jury, and that both Lee
and Frank will testify.
THIRD.-—The functions of a
Coroner’s jury consist of hearing
preliminary testimony, and hold
ing persons under suspicion for
the Grand Jury, which is the le
gal ody that finds indictments
against those accused of crime.
Investigation before the Grand
Jury is oh evidence and is much
more complete than befor the
Coroner’s Jury.
FOURTH.—Solicitor - General

Detectives Lanford yesterdav was
n Monday,
h we have may
sai:i. “We are
.vo can find, of
solve the mys-
not to express dissatisfaction
with the police, but to acquaint
himself more fully with facts
not yet made public.
FIFTH.—Officials of the jail
declared to-day that visitors will
not be allowed to see either Frank
or Lee, but, of course, counsel
will have free access to them.
SIXTH.—The absurd report
that State troops were to be
called out, of course, has no foun
dation In facts. Tljis rumor was
published in some of the State pa
pers and by an unimportant
morning dally of limited circula
tion.
SEVENTH.—The report that
William J. Burns is to come to
Atlanta is of doubtful origin. The
last heard of Mr. Burns he was in
Europe.
EIGHTH.—Friends of Frank
are coming forward in his defense
and are making a vigorous de
fense for him. It is reported that
M. Frank, an uncle, who is very
wealthy, will employ the ablest
legal talent to defend Frank.
In regard to the arrest of Leo
1 rank, Milton Klein has furnished the
following:
• Leo Frank, tiie superintendent and
general manager of one of Atlanta.-;
1; rgest anti most promising industries,
spends two hours in his office on a
holiday after generously relieving the
watchman during these hours. Mis
habits are regular and industrious,
and his life while in Atlanta is per
fectly blameless in every respect.
• The terrible crime committed in
his plant calls forth the closest strn-
t ny of Mr. Frank’s relations with his
2 )0 workmen and women. Only the
highest words of praise and confi-
d ?nce in his character are heard on
ad sides.
“1 have worked with Mr. Frafor
years in various charitable organiza
tions and have ever found him the
most polished of gentlemen, with the
kindest of heart and the broadest of
s. mpathy. To such an extent it is
r ‘cognized among his fellow lodgemen
t tat we have honored him with the
office of president, which is the high-
e*t rank in our organization.
Best Work in Factory.
“He is a liberal supporter of many
worthy enterprises. But his greatest
work has been among his own em
ployees at his factory. The first to
report-in the morning and tlie last to
have at night, every day and holi
days, he has labored to build up a
factory that in spirit and efficiency is
second to none -oiith of the Mason
and Dixon line.
“After the magnificent v. ork ho'has
done in his adopted home, shall we,
without consideration, emphasize ev
ery bit of gossip which unjustly and
groundlessly connects him with this
awful tragedy? No one seeks more
fervently to discover the real perpe
trator of thiy atrocious crime than
Mr. Frank.”
Miner Asks for Calmness.
Deputy Sheriff Flennie Miner makes
the following plea for calm Considcr-
a ion of tlie Phagan Vase;
“While a crime of a. most revolting
nature has been committed in our
midst, and our people are natural]:
excited and incensed ov r the deplor
able affair, there are things that w
need to consider coolly and carefully.
“Every possible effort is being oyt
forth by the officer*- and the public
generally to apprehend the guilty par
ly or parties. Nothing is being left
undone, no clew is being overlooked
that would lead to a solution of the
mysterious tragedy.
“But this Is not a time fgr us to be
come too excited or too hasty in our
eTorts to ferret out the criminal.
Above all things, and especially at
this time, it 1s absolutely neces‘-ar>
f*»r us to keep perfectly cool, to work
carefully and quietly, running down
every possible clew with caution.
“I respectfully ask tim the pubii •
be patient, refraining from < rh ;~.»

South Carolina Governor. Seeing Evil
Influence in Modern Fashions,
Urges Reform.
COLUMBIA. S. f\, May 2. The
transparent, tight or abbreviated skirt
of present-day fashions affected by
women that tends too strongly toward
outlining the figure of the wearer is
scored as a “sinister, persuasive, in
grating evil influence” bs Governor
Cole L. Blease, who to-day gave out
a signed interview championing dres.4
reform.
He fears that the modern fashions
will have a deteriorating effect on
the young men of the South by “les*
sening the high regard for the virtue
and purity and sanctity of our wom
anhood which has been characteristic
especially of the true men of the
South.”
The young woman of the South,
says Governor l^Jease, should stand
before a light and have her mother
or some near woman relative inspect
her f lothing before going on the
streets. If the clothes pass this .scru
tiny, he says, they are fit to wear, hut
if not, the girl should put on more
clothes before appearing in public.
The Governor advises women's clubs
and similar organizations to at once
take up the matter of dress reform
“before it is* too late.”

When the banks of Atlanta begin

It is estimated that Government de

The figure varies little year in and

MACON, GA.. May 2.—In a state
ment to the* public to-day, Colonel
W. A. Fluff, whose $125,000 estate has
been pending in the bankruptcy court
for fourteen years, and in which an
important decision was made yester
day by Judge Emory Speer, announces
that just as soon as the papers can
be printed he will distribute to tiie
public another letter addressed to
Judge Speer, in which he will attack
that jurist as a man and as an offi
cial. He says:
“1 beg to assure the public that
unless the printing presses in Atlanta
and Macon are all broken down dur
ing the next ten days there will hr
something doing here a little outside
of the usual.
Quiet Nearly Fourteen Years.
“In this connection I beg to call at
tention to the fact that for nearly
fourteen years the newspapers, the
lawyers and the Federal court officials
of Macon have busied themselves in
keeping the Huff case well advertised
and that during all these years noth
ing has ever been written for public
by my attorneys or myeslf—except
the two communications sent by me
last July to Judge Speer. One was in
the form of a .personal letter ad
dressed to him a4id the other a com
munication addressed, *To Whom It
May Concern.’
“It is also proper for me to state
that only a portion of my letter to
the judge was published by the pa
pers at the time. The balance of the
letter, together with all other com
munications, will now be placed be
fore the public in pamphlet form.
“My Time Has Arrived.”
“My time to be heard from has ar
rived. That I will undertake to do
my full duty by the subject in hajid
my friends maj rest assured.”
For sending the letter to Judge
Speer last year Colonel .Huff is now
under an contempt of court charge.
That letter was a most severe In
dictment of Judge Speer as a man
and as a judge. For several months
Colonel Huff has been busy collecting
evidence which he says he intends to
use in impeachment proceeding:
against Judge Speer.
Practically all of iiis <-barges will
be embodied in this pamphlet, 10,000
copies of which, he says, will be
printed.
