MSMNSTLEE
AND LEO
Solicitor General Dorsey Declares
All Evidence Will Go to the
Grand Jury Friday.
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 cofl-
tribute to the fund to employ the
Burns detective and Mr. Burns him
self to work in the Phagan investi
gation. She appealed to Women of
every walk in life to give according
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. Toble, 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 me 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 he at
taches of the pencil factory.
' Chief of Detectives Newport *Lan-
ford said that he had learned from
a responsible source of a sw itchboard
operator who was reported to have
R. W. Sutton Victim of Meningitis
as He Planned to Marry Miss
Lillian Tutwiler.
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 1
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 daily reports
to Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey
and Colonel Felder.
Here is Mrs. Carr’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 seal of condemnation upon law
lessness and demand that no means
shall be unused, Ho expense spared In

Stricken on the eve of his wedding
day. R. W. Sutton, 25 years old. of 419
Washington Street, is dead at the
Grady Hospital—a victim of menin
gitis. His bride-to-be. Miss Lillian
A. Tutwller, 300 South Pryor Street,
is prostrated and his aged mother,
Mrs. T. B. Sutton, added this new
sorrow to that cast over her by the
death of her husband a month ago.
Although but a few doors down the
corridor from her son, Mrs. Sutton,
who is paralyzed and unable to move,
has not been informed of her son's
demise. Physicians feared that this
second shock would prove fatal to her.
The younger Sutton’s death oc
curred at 2 o’clock Tuesday morning
It was the culmination of a stroke of
meningitis the nay before he was to
have married Miss Tutwiler, three
weeks ago. With the same affliction
his father had died.
Fiancee Became His Nurse.
Following his removal to the hos
pital. his fiancee became his nurse.
During the three weeks of anxiety
which came, when death was ever
present and physicians shook their
heads in forebodings, the young couple
did not despair. Miss Tutwiler kept
her newly-made wedding gown in
readiness for the wedding which she
was sure would come.
In lus conscious moments the young
bridegroom-to-be talked constantly of
the happiness that lay in store for
them when he got well. Nurses and
attendants at the hospital heard wit*
aching hearts the plans for the future
that the couple made as during the
long days and nights they sat holding
hands.
Mr. Sutton was alone when death
came. Mir.g Tutwiler, exhausted and
worn out by her constant vigil at the
bedside of her lover, was prostrated
Monday when fold by physicians that
'here was no hope. She visited Sut
ton for the last time late Monday af
ternoon, when already death was at
the door. She was the last person Mr.
Sutton recognized.
Recognized Her While Dying.
When she came into his room and
laid her hand on the wasted arm, the
eyes that were fast closing in the
last sleep lighted up. Choking with
sobs, the two bade each other good
bye, and Miss Tutwiler. prostrated by
her sorrow, was taken to her home.
After Miss Tutwiler left his room
Sutton sank rapidly, and soon re
lapsed into a coma from whch he
never awakened. Death came to his
relief a few hours later. The young
man's father, T. B. Sutton, died re
cently of the same disease.
Mr. Sutton and Miss Tutwiler had
planned to be married on April 23.
Arrangements had been made for the
wedding, the minister had been en
gaged. and the friends of the happy
couple had been Invited. On April
22 Mr. Sutton suddenly was taken
111. Thinking the Illness soon w'ould
pass no halt was made In the plans
for the wedding. On the morning of
April 23 Mr. Sutton was suffering in
tense pain and a physician was called.
In the afternoon of the same day
he diagnosed the trouble as menin
gitis, and ordered the young man tak
en to Grady Hospital.
Girl Plan* for Wedding.
The friends of the young people
were notified of the Illness of Mr.
Sutton, and the wedding was post
poned. Confident that her lover soon
would recover from his illness, Miss
Tutwiler fully completed the final
details of her trousseau.
But the wedding gown was never to
he worn, and to-day it lies unfolded,
emphasizing the grief of the young
woman. Miss Tutw'iler was hysteri
cal with grief when she learned of
her fiance’s death, and on Tuesday
morning was prostrated at her home.
During the day her family became
alarmed, and physicians were called.
Her condition is considered serious.

Well Known Lawyer Whips One
After Another in Dispute
Over Witness.
Burton Smith, well-known attor
ney and brother of Senator Hoke
Smith, on Tuesday afternoon thrashed
five men who objected to him con
versing in the corridors of the court
rooms in the Thrower building with
a woman witness in the famous
Crawford will case.
Two of the men. Cl W. Walton, of
Buckhead, and W. H. Byrd, 41 West
Twelfth Street, were badly beaten
up. both showing black eyes and con
tusions on their faces where Smith
struck them. The other three men
also were given severe drubbings be
fore friends and policemen separated
the belligerents.
According to eyewitnesses of the
fight, Attorney Smith had stopped
Mrs. Cash as she passed through the
corridors of the ’’bulfding arid was
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, I 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, when 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 Men 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 Smith. 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 Goodlln,
Newton Garner and Attorneys Reu
ben Arnold and Colonel James An
derson.
Attorney Smith’s hand was 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 opponents teeth. His
friends started to take him out of
