Harry Scott, of the Pinkertons,
said Thursday that the information
obtained by his agency to the effect
that a Greek helper in a restaurant
had disappeared following the killing
of Mary Phagan had proved baseless
so far as he was able to determine.
“It was a blind clew,” he said.
“We were unable to And that any
one was missing from the restaurant.
Neither were we able to locate the
supposedly missing person in Annis
ton, Ala., where our Information said
he was.”
In discussing the alleged myste
rious disappearance of one of his em
ployees shortly after the discovery
of the murder of little Mary Phagan,
this morning, George Pdppas, pro
prietor of the Busy Bee Cafe at Hun
ter and Forsyth Streets, said that
there was no basis for any rumor in
volving anybody in his place.
"There was no one working In the
restaurant at the time of the murder
except my brother, Stamates Pappas,
and myself, and, as you can see, we
are both stlil here,” he said.
Girl Not Known There.
"Furthermore, instead of anyone
going away, we have Just hired an
other man to wait in the cafe. He
came here last Saturday and is still
here.
So far as the pencil factory and
the murder of the girl is concerned I
do not know anything about it at all.
I didn’t even know the girl by sight.
Once In a while some of the girls
came in here to get a little lunch, but
I didn’t know any of them by name
and could not say positively tjiat they
worked over there at all.
“I have never been In the pencil
factory but twice In my life—once on
the Sunday the girl was found dead
and once before that to get some
dishes that had been sent over there
with some lunch for one of the men
at the factory’.”
When asked about the practice of
sending lunches into the factory or
the possibility of a.nyone In his em
ploy getting familiar with the interior
of the plant, he said that they very
seldom sent anything over there, for
the reason that they only had two
men, and that the orders usually came
at about 12 o’clock when they were
too busy In the cafe to send order,
out.
Pappas, telling of the movements of
himself and his brother at the time
of the murder, said:
"My brother left here about 7:110
o'clock in the evening to go and take
a sleep, for the next day was our
Raster, and we had to go to church
that night and be up the greater part
of the night, and he was supposed to
open up the cafe in the morning.
“I closed up the place about 11:30
o’clock and went out for a little while.
I came back and took a hath and
dressed and at about 1 o’clock in the
morning my brother came by for me
and we went to the church to the Eas
ter service.
“He came back here earlier than 1
did and was in the restaurant and
the place was open when I reached
here shortly before 8 o'clock. I had
not been here long before someone
came in and said that something had
happened over at the pencil factory. I
went outside and asked a policeman,
who was standing there, what the
trouble was and he told me thni
something had happened over at tin-
factory that they did not understand
—that a robber had been there and
killed someone.
Frank There for Cup of Coffee.
'Later on 1 heard that it was a
girl found dead in the place and went
over to see. I went in and looked
around for a few minutes and saw Mr
Frank and some of the other em
ployees in there, hut I didn’t stay in
there long, because they made every
one get outside.
"Of course. I don't know anything
about it, and all I hope is that they’
will catch the man that did it.”
Asked if any of the employees of
the pencil company had been In his
place immediately following the dis
covery of the body, Pappas said that
Mr. Frank had been in there about 8

To the Editor of The Georgian:
Referring to the article pub

that a Greek is trailed in Annis-'

is connected with the terrible as
sassination of poor Mary Pha

indignation, not so much for the
mere fact that a Greek is sus
pected, as for the off-hand con
clusions of the “Pinkertons”
that a Greek must be the guilty
party who committed this atro
cious deed because the crime it
self bears the style of the Medi
terranean criminal.
This accusation is of such a
nature and so unjust to the coun
try I have the honor to repre
sent that you will allow me to
place a formal and strong pro
test against any allegation o£
this kind.
It is the first time that I ever
heard that strangulation is com
mon in Greece. I think that be
fore so detrimental a statement
is published you ought to have
taken into consideration statis
tical information from the courts
of Greece and not entirely rely
upon the suppositions of any de
tective agency.
Yours very truly.

USE OF CALOMEL
PRACTICALLY STOPPED
; Dangerous Drug Giving Way
for Safer, More Reliable {
Remedy.
\ Hundreds of people In this vi
cinity alone have stopped the use
of dangerous calomel when their !
liver is Acting slowly, and take ;
Dodson’s Liver Tone instead.
Dodson's Liver Tone is always ;
safe and has none of the bad after- •
effects which so often follow the |
use of calomel. It i.« a pleasant- 1
tasting vegetable liquid that starts J
the liver gently and surely, and re
lieves constipation and biliousness !
and causes no restriction of habit
or diet.
Many preparations have sprung ;
up that imitate the claims made
for Dodson’s Liver Tone, but re
member Dodi-on’s Liver Tone is the
tried and tested remedy that has
proved such a good medicine and
is so satisfactory to every user— J
is the reason these imitations are
on the market.
Dodson’s Liver Tone cannot hurt
anyone, and if it fails to do all
that is claimed tor it all druggists
who sell it will give your money
back with a smile.

A NEAT, CONSERVATIVE
SUIT STYLE
It’s the “KNICKERBOCKER” a Recent
Model by Alfred Benjamin & Co.,
America’s Foremost Tailors
This is a model that is certain to win favor with
men of dignified taste and with those who can have
but few suits and, therefore, must confine their selec
tions to the more conservative cuts and patterns.
The coat is of the three-button style and is made
without a vent. The vest is medium high cut, and the
trousers, which are straight enough to be stylish, may
be had with or without cuffs.
