Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey
announced Tuesday morning that the
State’s case against Leo M. Frank
and Newt Lee in connection with the
Phagan murder, would go to the
Grand Jury Friday of this week. He
said that he could anticipate no new
arrest or development that would
make it necessary to change this plan.
Mrs. Jane F. Carr. 251 Ponce De
Leon Avenue, In an open letter, asked
every woman in Atlanta to con
tribute to the fund to employ the
Burns detective and Mr. Burns him
self to work in the Fhagan Invesvi
Ration. She appealed to women o4k
everv walk In Iffe to give accniWtig
to their means. ;
“What if Mary Phagan were your
child?" was the subject of her letter.
Felder Asks for Funds.
The Burns fund, after going above
the $2,000 mark, slacked considerably.
Colonel Thomas B. Felder said this
sum would not be sufficient if it be
came necessary for the Burns men to
make an exhaustive investigation, and
asked the people to contribute liber
ally to the end that Atlanta’s great
est mystery be satisfactorily cleared.
C. W. Tobie, chief of the Burns'
criminal investigation department,
was even more optimistic Tuesday
morning than he was Monday that
the Phagan mystery would be cleared
to the satisfaction of Atlanta.
"Another day on the scene has only
convinced mp that the crime is far
from the most baffling the Burns de
tectives have solved,” he said at his
hotel Tuesday morning. "I am not
at liberty to make public the result of
my investigation, but we have cer
tainly made progress.”
Search for Phone Girl.
City detectives are searching for
a telephone girl who was reported to
have heard a conversation over the
telephone the night of the murder
between two persons said to be at
taches of the pencil factory.
Chief of Detectives Newport Lan-
ford said that he had learned from
a responsible source of a switchboard
operator who was reported to have
overheard a conversation that would
be of the greatest importance in the
Phagan case. He would not say
whether he had learned the identity
of the girl.
A corps of department detectives
were detailed to the search that will
take in every private branch ex
change in Atlanta.
Colonel Felder said that he had
heard nothing of the report and was
quite sure the Burns detective had
not. The Pinkertons, through Harry
Scott, said they attached little impor
tance to the report, but that if it were
true the girl could be easily located.
City detectives and the Pinkertons
spent several hours at the pencil fac
tory plant last night. The premises
were minutely searched for new
clews. The result was not made pub
lic.
Working independent of every one.
Tobie, the Burns agent, was away
from his hotel bright and early Tues
day morning following up a lead that
he said had been heretofore over
looked. He will make dally reports
to Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey
and Colonel Felder.
Here is Mrs. Cart's letter urging all
women to interest themselves in the
Mary Phagan case;
Calls It Women’s Case.

Mr. Flagler had been sick for three
months, although it was thought sev
eral weeks ago that he would recover.
Mr. and Mrs. Flagler came here in
February. At that time he was suf

general breakdown followed.
Mr. Flagler died at 10 o’clock. The

died in his sleep. Among those in the
death chamber were Mrs. Flagler and
Mrs. Harry Harkness Flagler.
The body will be placed in the mau

than Roosevelt's, has written to Sec-r
refcary of State Donald, asking that a
wife be found for him. Graves lives
in Alberta, Canada.
In his letter to the Secretary of

Jacksonville to Get
‘Jedge Briles’ Justice
That he might gather pointers on
how to conduct the police court in
Jacksonville, of which he will assume
charge June 1, Judge W. YV. Ander
son sat through the session of Re
corder Broyles’ court Monday an in
tensely Interested spectator of the
proceedings.
Judge Anderson expressed himself
as greatly pleased with Judge Bfoyles'
methods and his determination to
enforce law, _ _ __
talking to her. Walton, it is claimed,
approached and said:
"Here, you; don’t talk to that wo
man!"
“What do you care?” asked Smith.
"Do you own her?"
"Yes, 1 do." answered Walton, and,
it is said, raised his arm s though
intending to strike the attorney.
Walton is a powerfully built man,
fully as large as the attorney. Hardly
had the words left his mouth, how
ever. w’hen Attorney Smith lunged
forward and struck Walton squarely
on the point of the jaw. Walton fell
limply to the floor, and Byrd rushed
into the fray. He was met with a
stiff right arm Jolt from Mr. Smith
and was knocked down for the count.
Three Pvlen Enter Fray.
Then three men who had entered
the court house with, Walton and
Byrd, and who were with them when
the attorney knocked them down,
leaped at-SmUh. The attorney met
them, and knocked them down as fast
as they came at him. One of them he
knocked down twice, while one blow
sufficed to put the other two hors
de combat.
Before the five men could arise
and rush the attorney, deputy sher
iffs. policemen and friends of the at
torney rushed between them and pre
vented further hostilities. Included
in the rescue party were Deputy
Sheriffs John S. Owens, Dave Goodlin,
Newton Garner and Attorneys Reu
ben Arnold and Colonel James An
derson.
Attorney Smith’s hand w’as bleed
ing from the force of the blows he
had struck the five men. and on one
of his knuckles was a wound from
one of his opponent's teeth. His
friends started to take him out of
the building, and as they passed Wal
ton, the latter began getting up from
the floor.
Wanted to Continue Bout.
"I’m ready for you again," he re
marked.
Mr. Smith tried to break away from
his friends and expressed a desire to
again knock Walton down, but he was
restrained and went to his office,
where physicians dressed his wounds.
Walton and Byrd and the other three
men left the building immediately.
The fight iasted about two minutes.
Several women who were in the
corridor near the belligerents,
became hysterical and fairly fought
their way into the court room. Deputy
sheriffs w-ere called to quiet the ex
citement.
Mrs. Cash Tells Story.
The woman over whom the fight
started was Mr*. Cora Cash, of Ruck-
head. According to Mrs. Cash, she
and her daughter. Mrs. Violet Whit
mire. were sitting on a bench near the
entrance to the court room, when At
torney Smith came up and began
talking to Mrs. Whitmire, an attrac
tive young woman.
Then, Mrs. Cash says, Walton anl
Byrd came up and demanded that
Smith stop talking to the young wom
an. Smith retaliated with his ques
tion as to the ownership of the wom
an, and the fight followed.
J. S. James, representing the heirs
in the Crawford case and retained by
Walton and Byrd, announced after
the fight that he will at once have
warrants issued for the arrest of At
torney Reuben Arnold and Mr. Smith
and also for a man named J. C. Cox.
who, it is alleged, held Walton while
Smith struck him. Arnold, it is al
leged. kicked Byrd while he was on
the floor.
Mr. Smith declares that during the
hearing he had been forced, in order
to bring out certain points, to use lan
guage that might have been a bit ag
gressive. He says he met Mrs. Cash
in the hallway later, and she told him
she didn’t think he had used proper
language In his interrogation Mr.
Smith was explaining and ap<$*gia-
ing for whatever he might hav! Jgaid
that would hurt her feelings.
