ITS TENSENESS
Crowd in Small, Smoke-Filled
Room Breathlessly Follows the
Phagan Slaying Inquiry.
In a small, crowded and smoke-
filled room at police headquarters,
Coroner Donehoo on Thursday morn
ing began what It is thought will be
the last session of the Jury Impaneled
to Inquire Into the dearth of Ma y
Phagan, strangled to death In the
basement of the National Pencil Fac
tory April 26.
The situation was tense and preg
nant with possibilities. The fact that
the investigation of the case is rap-
dlly drawing to a close, coupled with
the admissions of officials that new
and important evidence would develop
from the examination of the witnesses
to-day, brought out a large and curi
ous crowd.
At one end of the long table, heap»1
with notebooks and typewriters, stt
Coroner Donehoo, flanked on each side
by members of the jury. At the fo »t
of the table sat the newspaper re
porters and the official stenographers,
four in number. Facing Coroner Don
ehoo and the jury sat the witness.
Ranged along the wall were curious
spectators, relatives of the dead girl
and friends of the witnesses. Long
before the Inquest was called every
available chair in the room was taken,
and late comers ensconsed themselves
on the window ledges.
Dorsey Takss Active Part.
Prominent among the spectators
were the attorneys for Frank. Pinker
ton and city detectives and county
and State officials. Solicitor Hutu
JMraejrjwt Jttsr behind Coroner Done-
boo, and took an active part In the
questioning of the witnesses. While
Mr. Dorsey ..sked no questions him
self, several times he conferred with
the Coroner on the beM manner i
which to examine the witnesses.
Attorney Luther Rosser also occu
pied a seat near the Coroner, and took
keen interest in the proceedings of Hi*
inquest. He did not object to any of
the questions asked the witnesses that
had bearing on the actions of Leo M.
Frank on the day of the murder.
Ranged against the wall behind
Coroner Donehoo were Detective John
Black, in charge of the city investi
gating squad; Detective otarnes, and
Detective Harry Scott of the Pinker
tons. All of the officers paid close at
tention to the examination of the wit
nesses. To the left of the Coroner sat
Dr. J. W. Hurt, County Physician,
who examined the body, and whose
testimony la awaited with consider
able curiosity.
Father a Pathetic Figure.
,T. W. Coleman, father of the dead
girl, stood against the wall to the
right of Coroner Donehoo, a pathetic
figure in his sorrow. Mr. Coleman
evinced keen interest in what was
transpiring. He kept his eyes fixed
constantly on the witness who sat at
the foot of the long table, and his
eyes filled with tears as the tragic
details of the finding of the child's
body were related.
The attitudes of the individual
members of the jury showed their
realization of the responsibility that
rests upon them. Each of the six
sat with his arms on the table, paying
the closest attention to the state
ments of the witnesoY's. Most of the
questions were asked by the Coroner,
but now and then a juror would in
terrupt to ask the writhes* to make
some point clearer.
The air of tense eagerness with
which the jurors arvaited the replies
of the witnesses was communicated
to those whose only Interest in the
case was the satisfaction of curios
ity.
Crowd Tense and Quiet.
The crowd in the room was one of
the quietest that has ever attended
a session of the inquest. Save for
the occasional scratching of a match
or the dragging of a chair across the
floor, nothing was heard but the
voices of the Coroner and the wit
nesses.
All of the witnesses brought in were
subjected to a close examination by
Coroner Donehoo, and all bore the
ordeal well. “Boots” Rogers, one of
the policemen who found the body,
was on the stand more than an hour.

Newt Lee Called to Stand for Further
Examination—Coroner Will Put
Case in Hands of Jury by 7 o’Clock,
It is Predicted.
The Coroner's Jury found that Mary Phagan had come to
her death by strangulation and ordered Lee and Frank held for the
Grand Jury.
Leo M. Frank, superintendent of the National Pencil Factory,
aud Newt Lee, night watchman, both of whom are being held in
connection with inquiry into the death of Mary Phagan, were re
called to the witness stand late Thursday afternoon at the inquest.
Frank was given a more searching examination as to move
ments 011 the day of the tragedy than he underwent his first day
on the stand and an apparent endeavor was made to show that lie
was not at home at, the times the had stated in his previous tes
timony.
Frank, however, answered' the questions readily, and Coro
ner Donehoo was not able to trip him.
lu Frank’s previous testimony he failed to mention several
persons who were at his home when he said he was thei’e Saturday
night, llut when he was questioned in regnffl to this point Thurs
day afternoon he gave their names at once.
After Frank's testimony, witnesses were introduced who tes
tified that Frank had at times indulged in familiarities with the
girls in his factory.
Following this testimony, the coroner excluded all persons in
tlie room, including the newspaper men and the attorneys for
Frank, while Dr. Hurt, comity physician made his statement.
Newt Lee preceded Frank on the stand.
Lee’s testimony was in regard to the private conversation he
had with P'rank when Lee was first arrested. lie declared that
Frank had told him that they would “both go to hell” if they
were not careful, but the effect of this testimony was largely nul
lified by Prank’s earlier statement that the remark or a remark
to the same effect was suggested by one of the detectives in the
hope of getting some information from the night watchman.
The morning Bessie-' cot prolific. Nothing of consequence
was developed.
Miss Ilattie Hall and’Herbert Schiff, chief clerk in the pencil
factory, were the first witnesses at the afternoon session.
Coroner Donehoo called for Lee immediately after Detective
.John Black had testified, supplementing the important testimony
given by Harry' Scott, of the
W. W. (“Boots”) Rogers, former county policeman, and Lem-
mie Quinn, foreman in the tipping department at the National Pen
cil Factory, were ir.e principal witnesses this morning. Neither
gave testimony that was materially damaging to either Leo M.
P’rank or Newt Lee, who are being held in connection with the
crime.
Rogers was questioned closely' viewed him that he was not at the
0 fthe events of the morning the
crime was discovered, and told
of taking the officers to the scene
in his automobile. Beyond his
belief that P’rank appeared tier*
vous when he was visited at, his
home by the detectives, Rogers
had no information that appear
ed to point suspicion ju one di
rection more than another .
He was *ure, however, that the
time clock tape on which Newt Lee,
the night watchman, registered hi*
half-hour rounds of the factory had
no “mtaaes" when It was taken from
the clock by Frank that morning.
Three misses were found on a tape
subsequently brought to Police Head
quarters
Quinn’s Story Unchanged.
An effort was made without avail
to break down the story of Lernmie
Quinn that he w as at the factory and
talked to Frank between 12:10 and
12:20 the Saturday afternoon of the
tragedy* Coroner Donehoo tried to
get Quinn to admit that he previ
ously had told officers who inter*
factory between Friday and the fol
lowing Sunday.
Quinn steadfastly refused to admit
that he had made a statement of the
sort. He supported Frank’s testi
mony of last Monday by insisting that
he visited the factory for a few min
utes and went into Frank’s office.
Miss Hattie Hall, the stenographer
who was at the factory office Satur
day Until noon, was another of the
witnesses called to the stand during
the forenoon. She testified as to
Frank’s movements while she was
there.
Frank Pale, but Calm.
Frank was brought into the Com
missioners’ Room in the police sta
tion before the inquest began, but
liter was excused and Rogers called.
The factory superintendent was
pale, but calm and collected. He
whispered a few' words to his coun
sel. Luther Z. Rosser, and smiled
faintly at a remark that was made to
him. He apeared to show the strain
of the days since he has been In a
cell.
Lee was not aumitted to the room
at the beginning of the hearing, but
was detained In a nearby office. The
night watchman seemed almost in
different.
