SOLICITOR
Sill SPECIAL
Atlanta Convention Seekers Get
Rousing Welcome at Both
Jackson and Meridian.
Names of Witnesses Withheld by
Dorsey to Prevent “Manufacturers
of Public Opinion” Getting in Touch
with Fhem—Satisfied with Progress.
Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey declared Saturday after
noon thal he was very well satisfied with the progress made in the
investigation of the Phagan murder mystery and made the signifi
cant remark that he would not reveal the names of new witnesses
so that manufacturers of public opinion could not get to them.
The Solicitor held a conference with Dr. H. F. Harris, of the
State Board of Health, who examined the girls body. Dr. Harris
said he would rush his report in time for presentation to the Grand
Jury when that body takes up the mystery next week. The Solici
tor would not reveal just what the physician has learned so far.
The examination of the blood
stained shirt in the back yard
of Newt Lee s home was also
continued, and the Solicitor was
far from convinced that its sig
nificance ha<i been rightly de
termined.
Mr. Dorsey worked all day Satur
day on the case and announced that
he would continue all of Sunday so
that he could present his evidence
to the Grand Jury’ as early as possi
ble next week.
Confers With City Sleuths.
A conference was held with the
city detectives, who are working in
co-operation with the State, but none
of the details could be learned. Strict
secrecy is being maintained regard
ing new developments.
Evidence “exclusive and valuable’’
in the Mary Phagan case has been
obtained So much the Solicitor
said to-day, and no more, declaring
details of the evidence would be re
vealed at the proper time.
The evidence is the result of work
bv private detectives engaged by the
Solicitor, among them one whom he
r rmed "the best detective iq Ameri
ca." when speaking of him Friday.
He mentioned the important evi
dence when he discussed the state
ment by Monteen Stover, the 14-year-
old employee of the National Pencil
Company, that is in direct contradic
tion to the testimony by Leo M.
Frank, the suspected factory superin
tendent.
Other Evidence More Important.
The Solicitor was interested in tha
girl’s statement, but declared that the
other evidence in his hands was far
more important and tangible.
In opposition to the testimony of
I.eo M. Frank in the Mary Phagan in
quest was the statement of the Sto
ver girl. The evidence that she will
bear is to the effect that she wa* In
Frank’s office at 12:05 o’clock and a

According to Frank’s te-stimony, he

12:25, when Lemmle Quinn, his fore

said, Mary Phagan came in, about
12:05 o’clock, to receive her pay.

"The minute I got to the office floor
when 1 went up to get my pay,” she
said, “I looked at the clock. I wanted
to know if it was time to draw my
money. 1 would have looked at it,
anyhow, I suppose, as it is always
customary for me to punch it the
first thing upon entering the place to
go to work.
“It was five minutes after 12. I
was sure Mr. Frank would be in his
office, so I stepped in. He wasn't in
the outer office, and I went into the
inner office. He wasn’t there, either.
I thought he might have been some

JACKSON. MISS. May 10.—(Spe
cial.)—Jackson men and women are
going back to their Saturday after
noon duties with a smile that won’t
come off for days. They have just
met the "Yaarab Special” from At
lanta that made its joyous way
through the city, and they will not
soon forget the meeting.
It is a wonderful party, this bunch
that Atlanta has sent to the conven
tion in Dallas to bring back assurance
of the Shriners’ convention in Atlanta
for next year. At least, all Jack-
son feels that way about it.
And Jackson wishes them well. A
fair bit of the city was at the station
this afternoon to greet them and to
tell them of their good wishes.
The crowd grew. A delegation was
there at first to ask Forrest Adair
and some of the others to speak, hut
everybody spoke. This was no day
for formality. The more the talking
the more the singing, the closer be-
. ame the ties between Atlanta and
Jackson.
Then one of the Atlanta men, whose
name could not be ascertained be
cause of the general melee leaped in
full view of the populace. He was a
stout blonde.
Sure, Everybody Was Happy.
"Is everybody happy?” he shouted.
Jackson, Miss., assured him every
body was.
Enterprising newspaper men of the
Mississippi capital sought to inter
view' dignitaries among the party.
They were met by an imposing del
egation, who, after much deliberation,
produce ! a signed statement.
It was <s follows:
“We ate gaing to bring back the
bacon.
“J. LEE BARNES.
“FRED PATTERSON,
“GRAHAM PHELAN,
“JESSE COUCH,
"W. A. FOSTER."
Then, ali too soon, the train pulled
out, according to the unsympathetic
railroad -si hedule, which was not
alive to the fact that Jackson, Miss.,
was having the time of its life and
that there was an intermingling of
souls not often experienced.
Jackson came to this conclusion:
The men whom Atlanta Shriners
picked to represent Atlanta's cause
are irresistible.
8til| Anxious About “Joy.”
The "Yaarab Special” made its way
w est. The stout blonde gentlem : n w as
on the observation platform wh n the
train passed into the distance, and he
was still requesting information as to
the happiness of Jacksonites.
