M» High A Co.’s store, I heard three ladies in conversation. One wag a rather *?out lady, about 25 years old; 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 m«»st of the talking Tells of Seeing Girl. 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 dies referred to in some way com municate with the editor of this paper. I suggest the editor be cause 1 believe that the editor would fairly treat the informant, and would see that the informa tion given will be fairly used. 1 have no possible interest In the Phagan case, except to see The Georgian-American Pony Contest VOTE COUPON Hearst's Sunday American and Atlanta Georgian PONY CONTEST VOTE COUPON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 21,1913 5 VOTES NOT GOOD AFTER JUNE 5, 1913.

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.
