No details of the conference were revealed, Although it win known that two girls who worked nt the fac tory with Mary Phagan also had been summoned. Girls as Witnesses. These girls, and probably others, will fee witnesses before the Grand .Jury afte it is convened. Three >oting women who were Intimate with the slain girl at the factory aleo will be called. Lee is expected to tell more to the Coroner’* jury than has been made pubic, and Frank probably will be beard. Besides the private defectives, the powers of the State and county courts have obtained the services of experts in medicine. In handwriting and even in certain forms of insanity, and the moat capable detectives of the public force, that the case may be whipped into tangible shape in time for imme diate presentation to the Grand Jury upon its organization. Among the experts whose efforts werre solicited 1* Dr. Claude Smith, city bacteriologist, who has been re quested to analyze the blood stains on the ahirt found in the yard of Newt Dee, the suspected negTo watch man. This analysis was requested that the officials might determine the reasonability of the theory that the ahirt was put In the yard of the ne- irro by other persons as a ‘•plant" to oonvlct him. It is said that an effort will be made to have the County appropriate J 1,0Of to defray the cost of a private Investigation Into the case. At any rate, the determination of the Btate »nd of the County to probe the matteT i« certain. That definite action will be taken by the grand Jury and that definite evidence may b« in hand for pres entation to that body is borne out by the tact that the suspicions of officers are narrowing rapidly.

Chief of Detectives Lanford admit ted last night that the lengthy confer ence with Solicitor Dorsey, lasting from noon until almost 6 o'clock yes- terdHy. had developed little new in the hunt for the slayer of Mary Phagan. He said that the Solicitor had asked for all the details in chronological or der and that every feature thus far developed had been gone over care fully. Solicitor Dorsey said at 16 o'clock last night that nothing new had bean turned up that could be made public, but added that he was confident that the Investigation following Its latest leads would have now facts in the caso In hand shortly. He asserted that he had asked the police officers for all their Information and had gotten it. Aside from Detective John Black, who has been working steadily on the case, with Harry Scott, of the Pinker tons, Detectives Rosser and Starnes were put to work on what is said to be a new lead, the import of which is being kept secret. Rosser and Starnes worked all day and Chief Hanford Is authority for the statement that their work was grati fying and the lead—whatever It may be—had produced more than the old trails traversed by Black and Scott. Slayer of Mary Phagan Still May Be at Large Tin mystery of the death of pretty Mary Phagan enters upon its second week to-day with thr police authori ties admitting that they are still with out a conclusive solution So far as the public has been permitted to learn, the detective* are not even certain that they have In custody tho person or persons responsible for her death. In the light of prewent develop ment*, the police believe that no more arresis will be made, but they admit that th«* entrance of another theory might entirely change the aspect of the cast-. Tho detectives base their present belief that they have the guilty man or men on the well-sup- ported theory that Mary Phagan nev er left the National Pencil factory from the time she received her pay envelope on Saturday noon until her lifeless body was taken from the basement of tho building. If this police supposition is correct, guilt can rest only on one or more of the men who were in the building after noon on the day of the tragedy. The police officers have been able to learn of only five who were in the factory Saturday afternoon or night, most of the employees btdng absent because of the Memorial Day parade. These five were Leo M. Frank, su perintendent; New t Lee, night watch man; Harry Denham and Arthur White, workmen, and J. M. Gantt, a former employee, who returned for a few minutes on Saturday evening to ootain a pair of shoes he had left in the building Of these five It is possi ble for only two to have had any knowledge of their crime. These two. Leo M. Frank and Newt I^ee, are in custody. Tragedy That Grips People. Atlanta for a week has been shock ed with the horror and brutality of the deed. That everyone was follow ing with intense interest the develop ments of the case wai manifest in the a^' rn^Rs with which the newspapers were bought up in the streets. It was i fetor> that gripped and appealed, and :i aroused an interest that will not die until tho guilty person is apprehended.

Harry Denham and Arthur White were in tho factory from 7:30 in the morning until about 3; 15 in the aft ernoon. Newt Lee ('ailed at the fac tory at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, but was told by Superintendent Frank that he need not go to work until 6 o’clock in the evening. Frank There in Afternoon. Superintendent 1-Yank left the building about 1 o’clock in the after noon, returning about 3. From this time until 6:80 in the evening he says he was in the building. At 6 o'clock Lee returned and remained in the factory until he found the body and was taken to police headquarters. J. M. Gantt, the former employee, was in the factory at 6 o’clock, and the evidence show’s he left about 20 min utes later. If there were any other persons in the building during these hours the authorities are as yet un aware of the fact. The night watchman's story is that he made his rounds regularly every half hour on Saturday night. At the inquest he told that it was not re quired of him to mako a complete round of the basement, his main duty there being only to see that there was no fire. This he gives as his explanation for not seeing at an ear lier hour the body of the girl. The undertakers say she had been dead for from six to eight hours when found. On his 3 o’clock round, the watchman went farther into the base ment and there saw the body of the girl lying face upward. He ran upstairs and called the po lice. Then he attempted without avail to get Superintendent Frank on the telephone, he testified. The offi cers came and found the body lying face downward, although the watch man declared he had not touched the body. They also tried to call Su perintendent Frank, but were un successful. and finally notified Vic© President Haas. Four Men Are Detained. Lee. the watchman, and Geron Hailey, elevator man, were taken to the police station. Both denied any knowledge . >f the crime. Arthur Mul- linax. a former street car conductor, was identified by K.

He offered Problem of Slaying in Pencil Factory One That Never May Be Cleared, Declares Crime Expert. BY AN OLD POLICE REPORTER. On** week a«o today a pretty fourteen-year-old girl, Mary Pliagau, was found dead in the basement of the National Pencil Company, at d9 South Forsyth Street. In the week that, has elapsed, little, if anything, ha* been’tlis- covered tending to show who committed the crime. I say 1 his without reserve, hut without, knowing what in formation the detectives and police force may have that has not yet been made public. What has been made public is far from convincing. And in an attempt to consider this most mysterious ease in a calm and judicial way, we can deal only with such facts as we have before us, not with facts that may come later. It should be said at once that this statement is not for the purpose of refleetng in the slightest degree upon the probity of the police or detectives, or to attempt to fasten the crime upon an individual, or to give to the public statements that are not true, or to inculpate or exculpate any person now under suspicion. 1 am simply trying to set forth here a plain statement of the ease as it was unraveled during the past week without adding anything to, or taking anything from, a mystery that is still as dark and deep as any mystery that has ever puzzled detectives anywhere. POLICE WORK IN A CIRCLE. The police and detectives have acted just as police and detec tives always act in criminal cases. They have arrested and held the persons last seen or known to be on the premises; have held them pending an investigation and sifting of testimony by the coroner’s jury. Policemen and detectives always work in a circle. Now and then some pioneer, a limver man, with imagination, breaks out of the circle and takes a straight line, pursues a clew not before considered seriously, and really solves the mystery. It was the most natural thing in the world, therefore, for the police and detectives to hold Frank and Lde. Lee’s testimony lias been heard. What he has told would not be considered very strong legal evidence in the courts, if. indeed, it would be consid ered seriously at all. I am assuming that Lee lias told nothing that has not been mude public, and it is upon this belief that the worthlessness of his statements is founded. Frank has been questioned by detectives and police, but so far as the public knows, has said nothing, has given no clew, and has maintained a calm attitude in the face of all cross-questioning. He stoutly maintains his innocence. The inquest to be resumed on Monday may clear the whole mystery and again it may not. Without in any way desiring to seem to anticipate the action of the coroner’s jury, it would seem likely that the police will hold both hee and Frank for the grand jury, where there will be a iiuul sifting of all facts brought out, under the masterful hand of Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey, and if sufficient, evi dence is produced, indictments will follow. EVIDENCE NOT AT HAND. At present, on the evidence now before the public, there is lit tle or nothing to lead to the belief that the mystery has beeu solved. Will it ever be solved I My own guess is that it wall not. Please remember that I am settting forth my own views and they may be utterly valueless, and I may be entirely mistaken. What I am writing is based upon what is known of the ease. And T may say, too, that never in all my experience as an old police reporter in many cities have I ever known of a mys tery that is so many-sided, and so difficult for the public to un derstand. Usually, in cases like the oue under consideration, the news papers publish all the rumors, true or untrue, all deductions of police officials, valuable or valueless, as the case may be, and an effort is made to lay before the public everything, column upon Perhaps as many of the great murder mysteries of history have been solved through the efforts of po lice reporters—men assigned by newspapers to Yover” criminal cases—as have been solved by de tectives. At any rate the police will always admit that police reporters have had a large part in un raveling the knotty problems. In a case of this sort the police reporter’s analysis is particularly good, for he is simply seeking the truth. He, unlike the police, is not held responsible for the production of the crim inal, and therefore whatever line of thought he pur sues is solely in the interests of clearing up a baffling mystery. As such the accompanying article is pre sented. i ftp ir P WWTTP Writes on the j UKeJl JlliN £♦ W ill 11 Phagan Case Draws a Lesson From the Shocking Occur- rence of a Week Ago, and Urges Conti- dence in the Courage of the Law. column is written, so that the public may know as much as the newspapers know, and thus be able to form an opinion for them selves. While it is true that no newspaper in Atlanta has suppressed a single fact in this case, it is also true that what has been pub lished has been most carefully considered and scrutinized until there was eliminated every statement that did not bear the name of the person making it. Statements lhat were* valueless because of prima facie absurdity were not published. PUBLIC SUSPECTED NEGRO. It was perfectly clear on Sunday and Monday last that the public was willing tp put the extraordinary aet in the category known as “negro crimes,” and the sentinujut of the streets was that Lee was guilty or knew the guilty man. But a second turn of the kaleidoscope, and it was easily seen that while it might be classed as a “negro crime,” nevertheless Lee’s story was unshaken; it was clear and circumstantial and ho did not act in a guilty manner, for it was he who notified the police instead of running away, as a scared rabbit, as nearly every negro does when he is guilty or even accused of crime. This, of course, does not eliminate Lee from the case. But the fact that he has told the samp story so far as the public knows and that he did not run away, lias shifted some of the suspicion from him. The Phagan case is not a “white man’s crime,” or if it is a white man’s crime, it is extraordinary and most unusual. What is known of Frank’s past is in his favor. There may he pages in his life| that the police and public know nothing of. But on tho facts as they have been given through the newspapers, his connection directly with the crime is not yet sufficiently placed. DID FRANK PLAY PART? The publie will have a better idea, after hearing his story at the inquest, what, if any, part he had in the crime, or what, if any knowledge he had of it. In the meanwhile, the spirit of fair play and the spirit of justice that is inherent in everybody should lead to the with holding of any opinion as to the guilt or innocence of either Frank or Lee. Nobody knows. But we do know, all of us, that the law is supreme; that tried and faithful police officials and detectives ar$ working on the case, and that every effort is being made to solve the mystery. Will it ever be solved? That is the question many people are asking themselves to day, for after all the crime does not seem to be either a “mcjgro crime” nor a “white man’s crime|,” nor the crime that a young man, in the flush of vigorous manhood, would stoop to. It seems to be more the act of a “Jack-the-Ripper”—a page taken from the East End of London, from Whitechapel. But whatever it is, may we not wait with calmness for the law to take its course? May we not consider carefully the facts as they are brought out by investigation, and not condemn the police and detectives, not condemn men under suspicion until they have been tried, not condemn the newspapers, on the one hand for being too sensational, and on the other hand condemn them for “suppressing the news,” when, as a matter of fact, no newspaper has suppressed anything; and the police and detectives have worked faithfully and earnestly in a mystery that would puzzle even a Sherlock Holmes? iiUy after ttii ten*. He returned to* his home after tire conference. The story of the friendship of J. M. Gantt. former bookkeeper in the factory, for Mary Phagan decided the officer# upon his arrest. He was taken on Monday as he alighted from a car at Marietta, where he had gone to see his mother. Mulllnax told .t straightforward story of his every movement Satur day night. He had been to the theater with Miss Pearl Robinson, he said, and afterward had gone to his boarding house and to bed. His alibi was established by the stories of Miss Robinson and his landlady. Gantt was explicit in detailing his moves and was borne out by com- pajiions and by his half-sister, Mrs. T C. Terrell. 284 Raat Linden Ave nue. with whom he lived. The sensation of the case c&mo Tuesday when a hurried trip by au tomobile was made to the pencil fac tory by detectives and Superintendent Frank was. brought to police head quarters. Tho officers denied at tirst that Frank was under arrest. He was brought to the station only to throw additional light upon the mys tery and for hi# own protection, they explained. Nevertheless, Frank s lib erties were soon curtailed and on Thursday, right lie was transferred with ls>e to the County jail on the request of Frank's attorney. Luther /.. Ross, . Negro Sticks to His Story. Ft ink rnd Ler were questioned at la noli, . ..* .lion. The watchman was put through the "third degree” again and again. All the efforts of the de tectives were not productive of a confession of any sort. Frank was Arm in the statement of his absolute innocence. Lee broke down and wept on several occasions, but only protested his innocence the more volubly. The inquest Thursday proved to be little more than an elaboration of the testimony that had been gathered previously by the detectives. Three or four of the witnesses declared they had seen Mary Phagan on the streets or near her home in Beliwood some time Saturday afternoon or night. The stories for the most part were found to be without basis and the theory that Mary Phagan was lured to the factory after once leaving it was abandoned. Lee was called to the stand. Tile most damaging evidence brought against him was the testimony of a handwriting expert that two notes found by the side of the dead girl were in the same hand as the test note penned by Lee after he had been taken to the police station. O. \V. Epps, the boy sweetheart of Mary Phagan, created something of a sensation when he testified that Mary had told him that Frank had attempted to flirt with her and that she had asked him (Epps) to wait mil go horn with her. Gantt and Lee .stifled that Frank had ap- p,seed nervous when they saw him (Gantt) Fatucday at the factory Gantt and Mullimix were liberated soon after the adjournment Wednes day. Tho Inquest was to have been re sumed on Thursday*, but was halted by the desire of the authorities to ob tain more clearly* defined evidence be fore they continued the presentation of tile case. The next day Solicitor General Dorsey announced that he had en gaged private detectives to run down clews which he thought had been neglected or not sufficiently developed, Prima Donna Wails As She Misses Liner Alice Eversman Vainly Offers $500 To Be Put Aboard Ship Disap- peaing Down the Bay.

WHITE. of the e Second Baptist Church of Atlanta. The proper study of mankind is man, but the conditions for this study are only occasionally fa vorable. Dressed up in his every day clothes, thinking his ordinary* thoughts, and his human impulses suppressed to the requirements of conventional life, a man throws very little light on the problem of humanity*. Tim individual exhibits mankind neither at its best nor at its worst, s£nd never at its deep est. The interesting things about folks are not the things that Indi vidualize and separate .them In one mass. Therefore to obtain insight into humanity you must catch it ofT its guard and in the sway of some profound spirit of unity. Whenever something occurs to startle, alarm or even amuse a whole community at a stroke, there is the opportunity to study and understand human nature. The artist with his picture, tho poet with his poem and the author with his book are each in his way striving to express emotions and awaken sentiments which be longed to all men—the chord of human nature that sounds a uni versal note. It often happens that a shocking event, a disaster or a horrible murder, affords the su premely favorable situation for understanding one's self and oth ers, and for realizing the prob lems presented to society. The interest in a Murder. Consider the extraordinary in tensity of public attention upon the horrible occurrence of the past week. A hundred thousand eyes looking'at one thing, a hundred thousand ears listening at one point, a hundred thousand tongues questioning upon one is sue—there is a spectacle worth considering. It is the murderer who domi nates the stage in this drama. Somewhere in this community there is u man who did this deed. Upon the retina of every eye and on the film *>late of every imagi nation there Is drawn the figure of one single human being, to ward which a hundred thousand questions are hurled and upon whom a hundred thousand accu sations are concentrated. Our in terest in him is his shape like ours, his human likeness to us, and, therefore, by him all of us degraded. His crime dehuman izes humanity and disgraces the universe. This is the exquisite yvoe of a murderer and the se- cVet of the unvoiced consciousness of all souls poised at him. There is a feeling that the mys tery of every murder is bound to be uncovered. We reckon that all the light of the world—light of stars and moons and suns are conspired against it. The very existence of God seems to de mand that for the honor of the universe the murderer must be exposed. We feel that the murderer him self must find it impossible to support the guilty secret. Thus Victor Hugo portrays Cain, the first murderer, unable to elude the great blazing eye that glares upon him everyw*here; thus Lady Mac beth, rubbing her red fingers, echoes tho cry of her guilty hus band; thus Eugene Aram finds no leaves to cover the dead body, and every stream in which he places it dries up; thus Edgar Allen Poe conceives the murder er hearing the heartthrobs of his victim beneath the floor; thus the ancients Imagined that a dead body would bleed in the presence of the murderer. Upon him wher ever and whoever it may be for ever falls an insupportable weight of doom. Whatever society may do by law to punish the murderer 1* is nothing compared with the cosmic wretchedness fixed ami fastened upon him. Detected or undetected by men, the murderer never escapes. The Mutilation of Life. It is a somber but true thought that the extreme guiltiness of every murderer indicates the con fraternity of all men who are en gaged in the mutilation of human life. In an age to come—and now coming rapidly—society will not so sharply discriminate between the moral responsibility of those defined as murderers under the law and those who in more subtle fashion have tho moral respon sibility for sapping the vital ener gy of men and women. This murder in Atlanta Is associated with circumstances and sugges tions calculated to emphasize the increasing movement of civiliza tion to make a direful issue be tween itself and those who despoil innocence or press degradation upon womanhood in any fashion. Once, twice, and then again and again we will witness a tearing at the publie heart by the tragedies of lust and greed, until one day the social cup will be full and the resolution which now dimly shows Its protest wilp be resolved into social conscience, and then into social courage, and then into so cial conquest of the untamed Kcsts that prowl for their prey. The lesser beasts who piy trades and occupations that destroy the bodies and the souls of men and then send flowers to their funerals are to be s. cially segregated, pla carded and proclaimed. Every murderer furiously tears the veil startling crime is pointing its fin ger at the sources of crime. The murderer furiously tears the veil aside for society to se e suddenly its needs and problem of redemp tion. It is not a hundred years from the Coroner's jury and tho court house, and the jury and the Judgment of a civilizntiofi that will (ocus stern eyes on all the murderous forces at work with in it. • * * The statement has been made that there are ten million white people in the South who are to be described as "unsafely civil ized." It was made by a Southern man "to the manner born" and ap parently approved in the intelli gence of a large Southern audi ence entirely devoted to the South. Edmund Burke said that he did not know how to draw an indictment against a whole peo ple. Since there are only twenty million white people in the South, the statement sounds Uke an im possible indictment. To be "un safely civilized,” however, is not the same as being uncivilized. The point of attention is that there are vast numbers of white people who do not sufficiently ap preciate the necessity of personal restraint and social confidence in respect of law and order to be de pended on under all circum stances to support the orderly processes of government. The Southern people must increase their balance on the side of safety in civilization as rapidly as pos sible. , Name Your Man. Who are the "unsafely civil ized?” "Name your man.” He is the man we meet on tho street and sometimes at the church, who is willing *o say, without any sense of saying anything wrong, that under certain circumstances he is ready to Join a thousand others and batter down the Jail to lynch a prisoner awaiting a trial before a jury in the court house. He is the man who expresses a frank readiness to justify the mob that has already wrecked Us fury in thi^s fashion. He is the man who can not sec that the gross ness of the crime committed is the greater reason why no one, or a few, but all the citizenship should have a share in its pun ishment. He is the man who can not understand that the .success ful vengeance of a. mob is tho disdain and therefore the dishon or of the ritate. He is the Southern man who does not appreciate the stand ards of civilization, by which Southern people, as well as others, are estimated in the judgment of the world. When he is told that In the four years from 1908 to 1912 all but 14 out of the 39S lynehings in the United States were committed in the South, it makes no difference to him. There is nothing evasive about the attitude of this man. Ho is frankly unconcerned about the consequence of peril to society, including himself and his own • children, which follows the flout ing of the law. He does not think that far. He is civilized, but not "safely." The Fear of the Mob. The presence of such large numbers of men in Southern com munities of this inflammable type and of large numbers who assert no stubborn defense of law and order when trouble is brewing has a powerful influence upon public sentiment and creates a spirit of uncertainty and of dread in the whole people. The great ma jority of the safely civilized is not available in any outspoken way to assert the power of society to protect Itself in support of its in stitutions. In several of the Southern States this fear 'of the mob is rapidly decreasing. In one of them only three lynehings have been allowed in four years and scores have been prevented. The State of Georgia will begin to make a better record when the citizens of Georgia get a little closer together In their thinking on the evils of lawlessness. The peril of the mob decreases in any community in proportion as the people get redder in the face in stead of paler whenever the ru mor starts that one Is forming. A little righteous wrath at the right time would save many vain re grets after the mob has done its work White City Park Now Open
