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. "To the Women of Atlanta: ‘The Mary Phagan case is our case, and It behooves every' woman to set the sea! of condemnation upon law lessness and demand that no means shall be unused, no expense spared In B U^TOX SMITH, well-known attorney and brother of Sen ator Hoke Smith, who whipped five men in a fistic clash over a witness at the court house, Tuesday.

Graves lives in Alberta, Canada. In his letter to the Secretary of State he said: I can lick Roosevelt at anything I never failed to carry my own pre cinct and 1 was never licked by a Democrat.” 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.
