Villages War for Railway Station Wiley Claims 23 People and Is “Cow Center"—Mathis Depends on Natural Beauty. Rabun County Is at white heat, and the old feud between the towns of Wiley and Mathis is at its height. The vital question of which place gets a regular railroad station with an agent in charge in to be determined this week by the Georgia Railroad Com mission. Wiley claims the greater population. Within a radius of one mile from Wiley there are 23 persons living. It has been shown conclusively. It claims also to be "the natural center of the cow movement,” whatever that may mean. Mathis claims that It is due to be come a great summer resort because of the beauty of the lake created there by the Georgia Railway and Power Company’s dam. Photographs of the surrounding country, letters from almost every State between Ohio and the District of Columbia, a mass of evidence and many personal appeals have reached the Railroad Commistfon on the sub ject. THE WEATHER Forecast for Atlanta: Showers. Temperatures: 8 a. m., 73 degrees; 10 a. m., 77 degrees; 12 noon, 83 degrees: 2 p. m., 86 degrees. Sun rise, 4:43; sunset, 6:26. NOT fET PUBLIC Body of Slain Girl Exhumed and Bloodstains on Factory Floor Analyzed. SHI HELD ■ NEW theory announced Atlanta Police Do Not Believe He is I m d l i c a t e d in Tragedy-=- Letters From Women and 50 Photographs of Girls Found in Prisoners Trunk. Solicitor Believes Victim May Have Been Thrown, Still Alive, Down Elevator Shaft. The force of detectives working under the supervision of Solicitor Dorsey Tuesday night will make an other searching investigation of the factory basement of the National Pen cil Company. The search for clews will be con ducted under the glare of a string of electric lights that have been in stalled in the last twenty-four hours for the express purpose of revealing the obscure corners and dark places that hitherto have been illumined only by the unsatisfactory light of ordinary lanterns and the few flick ering gas lights that are in the base ment. All of the new evidence obtained will be presented at the resumption of the inquest Thursday morning. That there already is new and startling evidence seems true, but just what it indicates the officials refuse to say. and the reporters, therefore, are/ merely guessing at what may be. or may ty6\ be. the ac tual facte. Solicitor Is Reticent. Solicitor Dorsey was reticent about the nature of the most recent dis coveries, but his guarded statements indicated that he considered the dis closures which have been made b> the force of detectives, physicians and '•Demists working under his direction as having a most important bearing on the solution of the crime. Mr. Dorsey issued this statement: I see In an interview attributed to Quinn that I asked him if he was not paid by counsel for Frank to protect Frank. This statement, so far as I am concerned, is absolutely false. Throughout my talk with him I did not mention the name of coun sel nor did I intimate that counsel . had been guilty of any such con duct. It is known that a more thorough and minute examination of every lo cality and every article having any connection or possible connection with the slaying of Mary Phagan is being made now than was undertaken in the first few days of the mystery. Blood Stains Analyzed. Under the direction of Solicitor Dorsey, chemists have made a new analysis of the blood found on the factory floor, where the Phagan girl evidently struggled with her assail ant. Dr. H. F. Harris, director Of the State Board of Health, is making a second examination of the body of the slain girl, which was taken from the grave in the cemetery at Ma rietta. Whether it was from any one of the sources that Solicitor Dorsey ob tained his new lead In tracking down the slayer, he would not say. He would only repeat that every clew' that offered the slightest ray of hope would be followed to the end. May Have Been Hurled Down Shaft. A startling theory announced by the Solicitor is that the body of Mar,. Phagan was thrown, alive, down th«. elevator shaft from the eeoond floor to the basement. He has found thtt the soil at the bottom of the shaft is soft and that the girl might not hav3 been seriously injured by a fall of this distance. He w'ould not be sur prised if subsequent developments proved that the girl was alain not on the second floor of the factory, but in the basement at just about the sp)t where the body was found. To insure that not the imiallest par ticle of evidence is overlooked, Solici tor Dorsey is continuing his rigid in vestigation of the factory itself. Elec tric lights have been strung in every nook and corner of the basement, where before it was black and gloomy. Te dirt and trash covering the floor is being searched painstakingly in the hope that some tell-t^le clew may be discovered—that the girl’s iniseing purse may be found, or that some ar ticle disclosing the identity of the slayer may he turned up. I he Atlanta police and State officials say they place little im portance in the arrest of Paul P. Bowen, the former Atlanta youth who is being held by the Houston authorities. In Bowen's trunk was found a mass of clippings telling of the Phagan killing, and st least 50 photographs of girls and young women. Several times while he was being questioned, Bowen is said to have contradicted himself. Bowen stoutly maintains his innocence. Relatives and friends of his in Atlanta say his arrest is preposterous. Atlanta detectives have investigated thoroughly Bowen's his tory in Atlanta and declared Tuesday afternoon that they have virtually established ail alibi for him. Having satisfied themselves of the probability ot Bowen s innocence, they are continuing on their original line of investigation and have abandoned the theory that Bowen could have been involved. The local authorities.have asked, however, that Bowen be held until a more complete investigation can be made. They think he will be able to prove his innocence and say that they have letters in their possession which practically establish that Bowen could not have been in Atlanta on the date of the crime. One letter, addressed to Charles tfhfiljjrt?; a efiftk in the South ern Railway office, was postmarked April 23 at Lukin, Texas, and did not reach Atlanta until April 27, the day after the killing in the National Pencil Factory basement. Another letter, which is in the possession of Solicitor Dorsey, was written by Bowen to an Atlanta friend and was mailed at Tv ler, Texas, April 20 as Bowen was on his way to Texarkana, Ark. These letters lead the local authorities to believe that Bowen can not reasonably be supposed to have come the hundreds 'of miles just m time to commit the crime and then immediately jump a train to return Westward. HOUSTON, TEXAS, May -6.—Paul P. Bowen, arrested be cause of the suspicion of the local authorities that he was con nected with the murder of Mary Phagan in Atlanta, denied Tues day all knowledge of the girl and the crime except as he read of it in the newspapers. A score of clippings telling the story of the little girl’s death were found in the young man’s room. His only explanation was that Atlanta was his home town, and he was particularly inter ested in the crime because of that. The police here regard as more significant than the clippings, the stories of Bowen’s actions in his room at the St. Jean Hotel, and later at a rooming house. Roomers in adjoining rooms are said to have been disturbed by his moans and mutterings and bv his constant pacing of the floor. TV by did T do it? Why did I do it?” he is declared to have repeated to himself incessantly. Complaint was first made to the Hotel authorities and later the police were notified Bowen was arrested last night by Chief of Police Davison, Chief of De tectives Peyton and Detective Hilton at 1520 Texas Avenue. "A night of terror." as officers term it, led to the detention of Bowen. Sunday night in room 214, at the St. Jean Hotel, the young man paced the floor and moaned. Persons in ad joining rooms were unable to sleep, and reported to the management that something was wrong in the room. An investigation disclosed Bowen poring over letters and newspaper accounts of the murder and crying aloud. "Oh, why did I do it?" he is said to have cried. “I would not have done it. I ought not to have done that. If I had tt to do over I wouldn’t do it,” were re peatedly heard by thoee who listened and who frequently walked through the hall in an effort to ascertain some cause for the peculiar actions of the man. Monday the young man wa# shad owed and the matter was reported te the detective department. About i o’clock he registered off and moved te Texas Avenue and Crawford StTeet. There he engaged a room for Qitffftfkg Old Man Struck and Dazed by Automobile J. R. Russell Run Down by E. N. O’Belrne at Broad and For syth Streets. J. R. Russell, a pedestrian, was struck by an automobile driven by E. N. O’Belrne, 314 Empire Building, at Broad and Forsyth streets Tues day afternoon. Dazed by the fall, Mr. Russell was unable to give his residence address. He was sent to Grady Hospital, where ft was found his injuries were not serious. It was dearly an accident and Po liceman E. J. Florence, officer on the Broad Street beat, made no arrest. According to W. H. Rhett, in the car with Mr. O’Belrne, and T. J. Dicker- son and W. T. Webb, who saw the accident, the automobile was moving slowly. It was said Russell, who is advanced in years, attempting to es cape another car, stepped directly in the path of Mr. O’Beirne’s machine.
