Detectives Rosser. Campbell, Black. Starnes and Bullard are still work ing with the chief on the cane and probably will continue until the mys tery is cleared. Lemmie Quinn, foreman in the tip ping department at the National Pen cil factory, was the first of the wit nesses to be examined by the Solici tor. He was in Mr. Dorsey's office a considerable part of the forenoon and underwent a rigorous examination. New Witnesses Sought. Detectives Starnes and Campbell also were with the Solicitor, and two of the Solicitor's assistants. Newton Garner and Dan Goodlin. were dis patched the first tiling in the morn ing to hunt up new’ witnesses of whom Mr. Dorsey had information. Foreman Quinn was called. It Is understood, to clear up the discrep ancies in his testimony and the state ment he is said to have made to the detectives and to several of his ac quaintances. In his testimony before the Coroner's Jury he declared that he visited the factory between 12:10 and 12:3o o'clock, the afternoon of the killing of Mary Phagan. He said he talked with Frank for two minutes In the superintendent's of fice. Detectives declared that Quinn had told them and other persons that he did not visit the factory at all Satur- da> and that he was not there from tfu time he left Friday until the fol lowing Monday. Frank Expected To Be Held. That'® about what I expected at this time." was the comment with v hlcii Deo M. Frank. with little trace of emotion, received the news of the action of the Coroner's Jury Thursday night. Deputy Sheriff Plennie Minor was the* officer who informed both Frank ami Newt Lee that the Jury had recommended that they be held un der charges of murder for further investigation by the Fulton County Grand Jury. The night watchman received the news indifferently and had nothing to say. Frank and Lee are heid under charges of murder, as ihe following verdict of the Coroner's Jury will •how: Atlanta. Ga.. May 8, 1913. We, the Coroner’s jury, impan eled and sworn by Paul Donehoo, Coroner of Fulton County, to in quire into the cause of the death of Mary Phag«n, whose dead body now lies before us, after having heard the evidence of sworn wit nesses, and the statement of Dr. J. W. Hurt, County Physician, find that the deceased came to her death from strangulation. We recommend that Leo M. Frank and Newt Lee be held under charges of murder for further in vestigation by the Fulton County Grand Jury. (Signed) HOMER C. ASHFORD, Foreman. DR J. W HURT, County Physi cian. Solicitor Dorsey said Friday he would give the'Phagan case nil of his attention and present his evidence to the Grand Jury as quickly as possi ble. The solicitor has shown an anxiety to avoid delays of any nature in hunt ing down the slayer of the Phagan girl, and now that the Coroner’s Jury has turned the case over to the So licitor and the Grand Jury It may be taken for granted that the investiga tion will be hurried along with all possible speed. Case in State's Hands. "The case now *s fully in the hands of the State." said the Solicitor Fri day morning. It will not be pre sented to the Grand Jury Friday, but I shall endeavor to present it at the earliest possible moment. The instant that I have a complete case I shall bring it to the attention of the Grand Jury. It is raj desire to bring the slayer of Mary Phagan to Justice with the greatest dispatch. A great crime has been done and I am no less eager to see the guilt determined than the general public." It required the Coroner's jury about twenty minutes to frame its formal verdict Thursday night. The jurors received a brief charge from Coroner Donehoo and filed from the Commis sioners’ room in the police station at Shekel IfcuUetf.

He appealed pale and haggard from his Imprisonment, but he replied to all of the questions clearly and showed no hesitation or apparent fear He was asked: Testimony of Frank. Q.

Results of Savant's Treatment Do Not Justify Confidence, Health Board Reports. WASHINGTON, May 9. "K/fecls of the Friedmann cure thus far ob served do not justify the confidence in the remedy which has been in spired by well-meant publicity.” This is the crux of an official state ment from the board of examiners of the public health service, delivered by Dr. John F. Anderson before the American Congress of Physicians and Surgeons in Washington to-day.- Dr. Anderson said harm may have been done by undue publicity in less ening the confidence of tuberculosis victims in well-recognized methods of treatment. With respect to the patients under examination in New York, he said many have developed no considerable infiltrate at all and nave not suffered from abscess formations. This would indicate that they must be under treatment a long time to effect a cure, as Dr. Friedmann stated that infiltrate and abscess formations it> dicated more or less rapid progress toward cure. Not Ready to Give Opinion. The report which was also sub mitted by Dr. Anderson and Dr. A. M. Stimson, another public health surgeon, said in part: "At the present time we are not in position to express an opinion upon the present cases under ob servation. The disease for which the rented*- is used is prolonged and is marked by periods of improvement and retrogression. "We must not lose sight of the possible therapeutic value of this preparation, but it is necessary to guard against too great an optimism in respect to its merits. However, we are in a position to state that the facts thus far observed do not justify the confidence in the remedy that has been inspired by widespread publicity. "In our opinion, harm may have been done by this undue publicity because it has lessened the confi dence of tuberculosis patients in well recognized methods of treatment, or interrupted their use. "in our series of patients. Dr. Friedmann has made has made al most exclusive us£ of the intramus cular method and a very considerable portion of them have developed either no considerable Infiltrate at all or have suffered from abscess forma tions.
