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
