Burton Smith Acquires Title of
‘'Man With the White Hope
Punch.”
Continued From Page 1.
no other As exemplified .in the brisk;
mill which enlivened the dull, rather
odorous corridor* of the Throw- r
Building Tuesday, it is something dif
ferent. it is not the solar plexus Jab
of Fitzsimmons fame, nor >ct the
erratic cares* that Battling Nelson
was wont to bestow in his palmiest
days. It is more like the swine of j
the story book heroes, straight from
the shoulder, with the unerring aim;
of < hrlsty Mathewson’s In : t bali. and
with a swat like the crack o' doom.
A* Mr. •'V Walton and Mr. W
H Byrd, and three of their friend*
who < ante athwart that punch Tues
day will testify.
What happened is guesswork Just
now. Eyewitnesses say It was. lib*
this.
ROUND 1—Smith'* right arm
shot out, and, zowie! the man who
met the punch took the count.
ROUND 2—Smith'* right arm
*hot out, and, zingo! the man who
met the punch said, "Good night,
nurse. • see the stars!”
ROUND 3—Smith’s right arm
shot out, and, ouch! the man who
met it tumbled over in a troubled
sleep.
ROUND 4—Smith's right arm
shot out, and "Eureka!” said the
man who met it, as he snored on
the floor.
SUMMARY: Smith won all the
way; time of battle, 2 minutes.
Scouts on the firing line Wednes
day morning sent In the following r
ports:
Walton says that J. C. Cox, Smith's
second at the fray and companion
under the battery charge, held him |
while Smith hit him. Alio that Ar
nold kicked him after Smith had
knocked him down. Among other evi
dence to prove this. Walton will su »-
mit an expanse of court plaster on
the side of his face, where either the
fiat or the foot is supposed to have
landed.
More evidence that assault and bat
tery was used In the scuffle will n»
introduced by W. H. Byrd in the
form of two black eye* and court
plaster effects over one of the dis- |
colored members. Byrd informed a
scout that he appeared only by rea
son of his friendship for Walton.
"Smith was too big to match up
against Walton." Byrd declared to
the scout. H.vrd himself weighs neat
ly 200 pounds.
Mr. Smith is mild of manner and
temper, yet he stands 6 feet 2 and
is broad with it. He is accounted
generally n man of peace, vet bis
rather extensive biography records the
fact that he has been captain and ad
jutant in the Fifth Georgia Regiment,
am: has seen duty in the Pittsburg
and Atlanta riots.
Handball Champion.
A man of man.\ affairs he is. and
busy with them all. and yet they will
tell you at the Athletic Flub that he
is the handball champion of the
bunch. And his name is Smith—
which might mean anything. No
person of keen judgment is surprised
at what a Smith does, naturally.
The net result of it all ip that there
is a new Burton Smith in Atlanta,
even to those who knew him best.
Hitherto he was Burton Smith, lead
ing lawyer and clubman, brother of
Senator Hoke Smith, but as promi
nent as his brother by bis own
achievements. When this tall, sol
dierly form strolled through the
chambers of the Athletic Flub he was
pointed out.
"That's Burton Smith, four year?
our president."

Now. with all that, he's Burton
Smith, the man with the white hope's
punch.
Mr. Smith, just before entering
"the ring” for the final bout, made
this statement:
' Nothing will come of the affair.
The man Inaulted me while I was
speaking to the lady. 1 was apologiz
ing to ber for having so severely
cross-examined her during the trial

Physicians to Declares That

MACON. GA . May 21.—Hope has
been altogether abandoned for B. San

Drs Harrold and Jackson, the chief
physicians in attendance, state this
morning that the pationt’s symptoms
are Such that they have no hope at all
for his. recovery. They state that
while all of the poison from the acci-
dentai taking of a bichloride of mer
cury tablet has been eliminated from
his system, his kidney?; and other or
gans are so affected that they can not
perform their normal functions. Be
sides, uraemic poisoning has devel
oped. and Mr. Walker has lost so
much strength that his death is now.
in their opinion, just a matter of
hours. They state that his vitality
may prolong his life for several days.,
but that he can not rise from his bed.
Walker in Half Stupor.
More than half of the time Mr.
Walker is in a half stupor. He has
not spoken since yesterday at noon.
The story concerning Mr. Walker
published in The Georgian on Mon
day was copied from The New York
Herald of Sunday last. The friends
of Mr. Walker have taken umbrage at
The New York Herald’s article and
are trying to arrange a meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce to de
nounce that publication.
The Georgian, of course, merely re
published the article from The Her
ald. and was in no way responsible
for the statements made by the New
York newspaper, which have since
been denied and the truth given wide
publicity by The Georgian.
Police Guard Home.
Acting Chief of Police Murphy to
day instructed the policemen to pro
hibit the loafing of persons in front of
the Walker residence on High Street.
Last night It was reported that Mr.
Walker was up and walking about,
and a large and morbidly euriouv
crowd gathered in front of the house.
Mr Walker’s pulse this morning
was 126, his respiration 32 and his
temperature 99.
Sympathy from Chicago.
A message of good cheer and en
couragement was flashed from Chi
cago over long distance telephone to
Mrs. Walker. The eyes of the na
tion are upon Mr. Walker’s sick room.
Direct telephonic communication with
the stricken banker’s home was estab
lished, and Chicago eopveyed to Mrs
Stevens, Mr, Walker’s mother-in-law,
best wishes for the unfortunate man.
"Hello, hello,” said the voice from
Mr. Walker's home after the connec
tion had been m^de.
His Family Hopeful.
"This 1s Chicago,” was the an
swer. "How Is Mr. Walker?"
"There is a ray of hope," was the
reply'.
"Sympathizers In Chicago extend
Mr. Walker best wishes in his flght."
"Thank you,” said Mrs. Stevens.
"How does the patient feel?" was
a question from Chicago. The reply
from Mrs. Stevens came'
"He i» not suffering. He feels good
and says he’ll live, though he is weak
to-day. He wants to live and there
is a little hope. Macon is praying
for him. Good-bye.”
Communication with Banker Wal

Hundreds of American Tourists
Journey to Berlin to See the
Nuptial Festivities.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
BERLIN, May 21.—King George
and Queen Mary of England arrived
here to-day to attend the marriage
of Princess Victoria Louise, only
(laughter of the Kaiser, to Prince
Ernest of Cumberland on Saturday.
They were the first members of roy
alty to arrive here for the wedding.
Emperor William, the Empress and
a number of German princes and
princesses were at the railway station
to welcome the British King and
Queen. Troops were provided as a
bodyguard and the streets were po
liced with scores of detectives, Gov
ernment agents and policemen.
A cordial greeting was given King
George and Queen Mary by the Ger
mans w r ho gathered along the route
from the railway station to the
party's destination.
Many Americans in Berlin.
Royalty from all over Europe is
flocking to Berlin to be present at the
wedding.
There are a large number of Ameri
can visitors lure, deeply interested in
the i*oyal love affair. Photographs of
the bride-to-be are on sale every
where. The Germans are very enthu
siastic about the Kaiser's daughter,
and the wedding on Saturday prom
pts to be a very important and beau
tiful function.
Americans largely predominate
among the visitors from all quarters
of the globe. Hotel proprietors will
reap a golden harvest when the bridal
bells ring; they are doubling and
trebling the 5 r rates. Nevertheless, the
Americans, who are determined to see
everything worth seeing, are engaging
the finest suites in the best hostelrie-
— that is. the best of those that will
not be occupied by the Emperor’*
guests.
True "Hohenzollern weather”—
brilliant sunshine and cloudless skies
—has set in for the wedding festivi
ties.
Bridegroom Arrives.
The official receptions started this
morning with the arrival here of the
bridegroom and the state entry into
Berlin of King George and £ueen
Mary of England.
There was no ceremony to greet
Prince Ernest August when he reach
ed the station at 8:25. He drove at
j once in an automobile to the castle,
where he took breakfast with his
bride-to-be before returning to the
station to meet the British royalties.
At the station, awaiting the arrival
of the royal train were Emperor
William and Crown Prince Frederick
| William, in the uniforms of the Bilt-
1 ish regiments, together with the Em-
I press and the Crown Princess. All the
j royal personages and princes as
sembled in Berlin, and a mass of bril
liantly uniformed naval officers and
ministerial and court functionaries
surrounded them.
King George and Qufeen Mary, when
they alighted from the train, were
greeted with the customary cordial
embraces by the Emperor and Em
press and the other members of the
imperial family.
King and Kaiser View Troops.
King George and Emperor William
then jointly passed in review of the
guard of honor drawn up on the plat
form. This completed, the two mon-
archs together, and the Queen and
Empress side by side, drove in open
state carriages through the Avenue
of Victory and Enter den Linden to
the castle, each carriage escorted by
a squadron of cavalry with pennoned
lances. The wide thoroughfares were
lined with troops of the guards army
corps, and behind them all Berlin
seemed to have gathered.
The dirigible balloons Zeppelin and
Hansa, flying the British colors, ac
companied the royal train from
Rathenow, about 50 miles away, and
hovered over the carriages as they
drove toward the castle.
It has been disputed whether this
is a love match or a political alliance.
Leaving that question aside, it can be
said truly that the astute father of the
princess has chosen for her the most
desirable husband in Europe from that
sordid point of view—wealth.
Prince Ernest is the only surviving
son and heir of the Duke of Cumber
land, whose fortune is estimated at
$200,000,000. Most of this he inherited
from hi?* father, the late King George
V of Hanover, who. seeing his throne
in danger, discreetly deposited his for
tune at the Bank of England; part
comes from the late Duke of Bruns
wick, who died in 1884; the Duke of
Cumberland was his heir.

Case Ready for Grand Jury.
Solicitor Dorsey declared Wednes
day morning that everything has been
prepared to present the case Friday
to th it tribunal in a clear and concise
form.
City Detective John Black, who has
superintended the city’s investigation
of the case, announced that evidence
had been secured to fix the guilt and
merit the conviction of the girl’s
slayer.
Despite these preparations, how
ever, (’. VV. Toble, the Burns opera
tive, is making an exhaustive research
into the case and blazing the trail to
be followed by William J. Burns when
the famous detective arrives in At

reports to Solicitor Dorsey and Colo
nel Thomas B. Felder. The material
which Detective Tobi * is unearthing is
said to be of great importance.
Spends Day at Girl's Home.
Characteristic of the Burns methods
in handling such cases. Tobie spent
the entire day Tuesday at the home of
the Phagan girl, familiarizing himself
with her life.
Mrs. Smith'?' letter, mailed to The
Georgian, stated that on Monday.
May 5, she overheard a conversation
on the street downtown in which a
female voice declared that its posses
sor had seen Mary Phagan at 4 j clock
on the afternoon of the murder.
Mrs. Smith’s letter follows;
Editor Atlanta Georgian,
Atlanta, Ga.:
Dear Sir—On Monday. May 5,
1913, between 4 and 5 o’clock in
the afternoon. on Whitehall
Street, in front of J. M. High &
Co.'s store. I heard three ladies
in conversation. One was a rather
stout lady, about 25 years old;
the other two ladies were older.
I did not note the appearance of
the two older ladies as closely as
I did the younger one. for the
reason that the younger lady did
most of the talking.
Tells of Seeing Girl.
These ladies were talking about
the Phagan case. The younger
one said that she believed justice
ought to be given to everybody
She said she knew Mary Phagan
well and that she saw her on
Whitehall Street, near Trinity
Avenue, about 4 o’clock on Me
morial Day. after the parade had
ended. One of the other ladies
said if she knew that she ought to
tell it to the authorities.
I was deeply impressed with
the sincerity of this young wom
an. and have deeply regretted tha;
in the interest of justice I did
not ask her name.
So strongly have T felt upon
this subject that I have dared to
write this, begging that the la
dies referred to in some way com
municate with the editor of this
paper. I suggest the editor be
cause I believe that the editor
would fairly treat the informant,
and would see that the. informa
tion given will be fairly used.
T have no possible interest in
the Phagan case, except to see
justice done. Will you not give
this matter such publicity as will
bring a reply from the ladies
mentioned?
Very truly yours.
MRS. A. A. SMITH.
J. W. Tedder, a business man of
Kennesaw. Ga.. a small town near
Marietta, called on Chief Lanford
Tuesday to tell him he was acquaint
ed with the mysterious girl in red,
who was reported to have accompa
nied Mary Phagan to the factory
when she went there to draw her
pay. It is rumored that the girl in
Kennesaw has made a public state-
i ment to the effect that she knows the
I girl. Detectives are working on this
feature of fhe case to-day.
