“The idea of taking an ignorant man, working on him until 4 o’clock in the morning, then flar
in a flashlight in his face and saying, ‘We know you killed somebody,’ is worse than the Spanish in

and respect for the officers of the court.
“A detective who would voluntarily go on the stand ought not to be beiieved. The purpose of
a detective is to find evidence, and not to swear that the evidence he ha3 is true. The detective is in

at Former Mississippi City.
“Circus Day” in Shade When
Yaarab Special Comes to Town.

Representatives Irresistible.
JACKSON. MISS. May in.—(Spe
cial.)—Jackson men and women are
solns 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 forge', 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 Shrinera’ 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 wiehes.
The c*rowd grew. A delegation was
there at first to ask Forrest Adair
and some of the others to speak, but
everybody spoke. This was no day
for formality. The more the talking
the more the singing, .the closer be
came 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,
produced a signed statement.
It was as follows:
"We are gaing to bring hack the
bacon.
"J. LEE BARNES.
“FRED PATTERSON,
"GRAHAM PHELAN,
"JESSE COUCH,
"W. A. FOSTER."
Then, all too soon, the train pulled
out, according to the unsympathetic
railroad schedule, 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 Shrioers
picked to represent Atlanta's cause
are irresistible.
still Anxious About “Joy.”
Tlte "Yaarab Special” made its way
west. The stout blonde gentleman was
on the observation platfocm when the
train passed into the distance, and he
was still requesting information as to
the happiness of Jackaonitee.
Luncheon for life Yaarab nobles
will be served at Vickaburg, where
the train crosses the Father of Wa

doings are promised at the Hill City,
though only a short stop can be made.

Allegation of Immorality.
CHICAGO. May 10.—Maud Robin-
*r*n. who signed an affidavit charging
improper conduct against Barratt
O'Hara, Lieutenant Governor of Illi
nois and chairman of the Senate
White Slave Committee, was the first

tee appointed to investigate the af
fair. She denied-absolutely that there
had been anything improper in her
1 elation* with the Lieutenant Gov-
f ronor.
She admitted signing an affidavit,
but said it contained no charge of
immorality.
The woman testified that she had
never had improper relations with
O’Hara. When she was Questioned
aa to her making the affidavit about
a trip to Chicago from Springfield,
she said the affidavit was made at
the instance of Samuel Davis, of a
liquor firm in Springfield.
'‘He said the affidavit was only to
make a bluff with and that it would
not be made public under any cir
cumstances.’' she explained.

H. R Pitts, manager of the Rea
vers' Club, Saturday was fined $500
or 30 days by Recorder Broyles and
also was bound over to the State
courts in bond of $1,000 accused of
violating the liquor laws.
The case was based on testimony
given by W. T. Brownlee, of Law-
rencevllle. who said he had purchased
liquor in the club, paying for it in
cash and without having to exhibit a
membership card. He said he had an
old visitor’s card, now out of date, but
did not even show this. Pitts and
other attaches of the club denied
Brownlee’s story, declaring they had
never seen him before.

James Crawford, a negro, was seen io
step into the gtreet and lift from the

a building at Haynes and Dover

Solicitor General Hug’ll M. Dorsey declared Saturday after
noon that he was very well satisfied with the progress made in the
inventigation of the Phagan murder mystery and made the signifi
cant remark that he would not reveal the names of new witnesses
so that manufaeturers of public opinion could not get to them.
The Solicitor held a conference with Dr. FI. F. Harris, of the
State Hoard of Health, who examined the girl's 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 ipee’s home was also
continued.(and the Solicitor was
far from convinced that its sig
nificance had been rightly de
termined-.
