Former Factory Employee Asserts Frank’s Office Was Empty at 12:05 Noon on Day of Tragedy, Contrary to Supt’s. Story, Evidence “exclusive and valuable’ in the Mary Phagan case has been obtained, and is in the hands of Solic itor Dorsey.

According to Frank s testimony, he was in his office from 12 o’clock until 12:25. when Lemmie Quinn, his fore man, came ip.

Bell, Congressman from the Ninth District, says he has n<> knowledge of it and is not a party to it. It is well know’n that Congressman Bell feels keenly the turning down of his recommendation in the Gaines ville matter, as he thinks, Gainesvillo being hi» home tow*n. his wishes should have prevailed. Then, too, the Congressman had an engagement with the President the day after Mrs. Harris’ name was sent to the Senate, to discuss the Gainesville postmas- terehip. President Wileon addressed a note to Mr. Bell, telling him the name was ent in through lnadvertance. as he had not intended making the nomina tion that day. He. however, said nothing about changing the situation. Since the appointment was sent in, Congressman Beil has not been to the White House. The movement to have Mrs. Ham a name withdrawn has been inaugurated by friend* of all the parties concerned, in the hope of avoiding that which now seems likely to develop considerable feeling in Congressional circles.
