in conversation. One wag a rather

the other two ladies were older.
I did not note the appearance of
the two older ladles as closely nn
I did the younger one, for tho
reason that the younger lady did

Th*ae 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 narade had
ended. One of the other ladies .
said if she knew that she ought to
tell It to the authorities.
1 was deeply impressed with
the sincerity of this young worn
an. and have deeply regretted that
in the interest of justice 1 did
not ask her name.
So strongly have I felt upon
this subject that I have dared to
write this, begging that the la

SUMMARY: Smith won all tho
way: time of battle, 2 minutes.
Scouts nit the tiring line Wednes
day morning sent in the following re
ports:
Walton says that J. C. Cox. Smith’s
second u the fray and companion
uncier the buttery charge, held him
while Smith hit him. Also that At
nold kicked him after Smith had
knocked hint down. Among other evL
donee to prove this. Walton will su »-
mit :m expanse of court plaster >n
the side of his face, where either the
fl;»t or the foot is supposed have
lauded.
More evidence that assault and bat
tery was t sed In the scuffle will >e
nt rod mad b> W H. Byrd in the
form of two black eyes and court
plaster effects over one of the dis
colored members. Bvrd informed a
scout that lie appeared or.lv by rea
son of his friendship tor Walton.
"Smith was too bi® r to match ip
against Walton." B.\ rd declared to
tiie scoui. Bvrd himself weighs neai-
j 200 pounds.
Mr. Smith is mild of manner and
temper, vet he stands 6 feet 2 and
S broad with it. He is accounted
generally i man of peace. \ut his
rather ex.ensive biography records the
fact that lie has been captain and ad
jutant In the Fifth Georgia Regiment,
am: lias seen duty in the Pittsburg
md Atlanta riots.
Handball Champion.
A iii in of many affair? he is. and
onsv with them all. and yet they will
i»4l'vo'i at the Athletic (hub 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
a: what a Smith does, naturally.
The net result of it all ic 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 his own
achievement 0 . When this tall, sol
dier.' form strolled through the
i a unhers of the Athletic (hub he was
pointed out.
That’s Burton Smith, four years
our president."
Or. at the University Club:
"There’s Mr. Smith, chairman of
the executive committ-re and our vice
president
"Man With White Hope Punch.”
Or. at the court house, the scene of
his latest achievement:
"Burton Smith, president of the
Georgia Bar Association several year-
ago, and vice president of the Ameri
can Bar Association in 1900."
Now, .with all that, he’s Burton
Smith, the man with the white hope's
punch.
Mr Smith, just before entering
“the ring’ for ;he final bout, made
this statement:
"Nothing will come of the affair.
The man insulted me while 1 was
speaking to the lady. 1 was apologiz
ing to her for having so severely
cross-examined her during the trial
which had just concluded. 1 was not
rude to the lady. I was speaking in
most apologetic tones. When Walton
came up and used insulting tones to
me 1 hit him. That was all there was
to it.”
The Accusations.

for the arrest of Mr. Smith and Mr.
