In a small, crowded and smoke-
fliled 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 death 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-
dliy 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?!
with notebooks and * typewriters, sit
Coroner Dortehoo, 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 witne.es.
Ranged along the wall were curious
spectators, relatives of the dead gii'l
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 Takes Active Part.
Prominent among the spectators
were the attorneys for Frank. Pinker
ton and city detectives and county
and State officials. Solicitor Hugo
Dorsey sat just behind Coroner Done
hoo, and took an active part in the
questioning of the witnesses. While
Mr. Dorsey asked no questions him
self, several times he conferred with
the Coroner on the best 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 the
inquest. He did not object to any of
the questions asked the witnesses that
had bearing on the actions of Leo
Frank on the dag of the murder.
Ranged against the wall behi ’d
Coroner Donehoo Were Detective John
Black, in charge of the city invest,
gating squad; Detective otarnes, and
Detective Harry Scott of the Pink r-
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 is awaited with consider
able curiosity.
Father a Pathetic Figure.
J. W. Cojeman, 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 witnesses. Most of the
questions were asked by the Coroner,
but now and then a juror would in
terrupt to ask the witness to make
some point clearer.
The air of tense eagerness with
which the Jurors awaited 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.
THE WEATHER.
Forecast—Fair, not quite so
warm Thursday; Friday, prob
ably fair.
Witnesses Are Quizzed in Detail, but
Nothing Important Brought Out.
Officials Say They Are Satisfied
With Case as It Is Being Developed.
Leo M. Frank was reatlv to take the witness stand in the
Phagan ease when the Coroner continued the afternoon session on
Thursday.
The morning session was not prolific. Nothing of consequence
was developed.
Miss Hattie Hall ami Herbert Seliiff, chief clerk in the pencil
factory, were the first witnesses at the afternoon session.
Newt Lee, the night watchman, was to follow Frank on the
stand, and officials asserted that Lee would doubtless begn his con
cluding testimony by 4 o'clock.
It was expected that not more than six witnesses would he
put up, the authorities declared, and that the inquest would he con
cluded before night.
The ease will probably be placed iri the hands of the Coroner s
jury for a erdiet by 7 o’cloek.
Testimony along a new line will be given, it is understood, by
Miss Nellie Wood, 8 Corput St reel. Miss Nellie Pettis, 9 Oliver
Street, and Mrs. Lilie Pettis, 9 Oliver Street. All three young
women will assert that Frank sought to treat them in a familiar
manner.
Another witness, a young woman, whose name the authorities
refuse to divulge, will conclude the testimony. She is sick, it is as
serted, but will be present will her physician.
Newt Lee, the negro night watchman, took the stand at 4:10
o’cock.
Coroner Donehoo called for Lee immediately after Detective
.John UJack had testified, supplementing the important testimony
given by Harry Scott, of the Pinkertons.
W. W. (“Boots”) Rogers, former county policeman, and Lem-
mie Quinn, foreman in the tipping department at the National Pen
cil Factory, were the principal witnesses this morning. Neither
gave testimony that was materially damaging to either Leo M.
Frank or Newt Lee, who are b"in» held in connection with the
crime.
Rogers was questioned closely
o 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 Frank appeared ner
vous when he was visited at his
home by the detectives, Rogers
had no information that appear
ed to point suspicion in one di
rection more than another .
He was sure, however, that the
time dock tape on which Newt Lee,
the night watchman, registered hia
half-hour rounds of the factory had
no “misses" when it was taken from
the dock by Frank-that morning.
Three misses were found on a tape
subsequently brought to Police Head-
qua rters
Quinn’s Story Unchanged.
An effort was made without avail
to break down the story of Lemmie
Quinn (hat he was 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
viewed him that he, was not at the
factory betw-een 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 w-as at the factory office Satur
day until noon, was another of the
witnesses called to the stand during
tlie forenoon. She testified as to
Frank's movements while she was
there.
Frank Pale, but Calm.
Prank was brought into the Com
missioners’ Room in the police sta
tion before the inquest began, but
later 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
cel!.
Lee was not admitted to the room
at the beginning of the hearing, hut
was detained in a nearby office. The
night watchman seemed almost in
different.
Frank of Nervous Nature;
Says Superintendent Aide
The Inquest was resumed at 2:46.
Only a small crowd was present.
Miss Hattie Hall, stenographer for
the Pencil Company, was called.
She said she had been connected
with the company since December 4.
From a pile of papers taken from
the factory records, Miss Hall iden
tified a number that were written
by herself. She said . 6, he did not
think she could identify Frank’s writ
ing. Miss Hall selected eigtit letters
that she had written. She said she
didn’t know how long it had taken
her ta write the letters.
Miss Hall looked at the cash book
and the book containing the finan
cial sheets ami said there whji noth
ing in them .«*he had done on April
26.
Couldn’t Identify Writing.
Coroner Donehoo did not explain
his interrogation pf the witness along
these lines. He appeared very anx
ious to know just what work she
had done on the day of the murder,
and instructed her to be careful In
identifying her own writing. Sev
eral questions were asked her regard
ing Frank's handwriting, but she in
sisted that she could not identify it.
Herbert Schlff, 38 West Pair Street,
chief clerk at the Pencil Factory, was
called next. He testified as follows
Q. What do you do at the fsfctory?
—A. Help Mr. Frank, keep tuff pay
