The witnesses were all bunched into the ante-room and there kept waiting while one at a time they entered be fore the tribunal and told what they knew' regarding the death of Mary Phagan. Dr. Hurt was the first witness to go before the Grand Jury. He went Into their room at 10:55 in the morn ing. He was dismissed at 11:23. Dr. Hurt's testimony, through his exam ination of the body, is considered of vast importance. He declined to make any statement whatsoever as he left the building In rapid succession other witnesses followed. Their testimony, which is believed will weave the preliminary chair of evidence about Frank and Lee which will warrant their indict ment. was placed before the Grand Jury. Sergeant Dobbs Testifies. Police Sergeant Dobbs followed Dr Hurt into the Grand Jury room at 11:49 His testimony is supposed to consist rryiinly of the condition of the Phagan girl's body when he ar rived on the scene, including its lo cation and the evidence surrounding WOLFSHEIMER & CO. 114-116 Whitehall St. Extra Specials For Friday and Saturday For Cash Only MEATS.

Most important probably of his testimony was that as to the art ions of the negro. Newt Lee, as he led the police squad to the body and while the initial examination of it took place in the basement of the fac tory. City Detective Starnes, after Dobbs' departure, took into the Grand Jury room a map of the pencil factory, showing the floor upon which the girl Is supposed to have met her slayer, tracing the trail along which he drag ged the body down into the basement. The rapidity with which the wheels of Justice revolved at ihe hearing bore out Solicitor Dorsey’s statement thit when he presented his evidence before the Grand Jury it would be in a clear, concise form. That the prosecution will avoid presenting its most incriminating evi dence before the tribunal, unless nec essary to secure indictments of the two men. was admitted in the So licitor's office Just before the Grand Jury convened. No more than enough evidence to secure true bills will be revealed. It was said. i^oman Makes Affidavit. The affidavit of Mrs. Mima Fomby. who told of Frank trying to get a room at her place was signed in the office of Dhief of Detectives Newport Lanford May 11. Mrs. Fomby was sworn b\ Recorder Nash Broyles. Probation Officer Sidney J. Googler witnessed the signature. Mrs, Fombv said that she and a party of friends were playing bridge in her apartments late Memorial Day afternoon when Frank, whom she had known a long time, telephoned her. It was between 6 and 6:30 o’clock, she stated Frank, according to her story, wanted to rent a room for him self and a girl whose name he would not give Mrs Fombx said that she flatly refused him, but Frank insisted he be rented an apartment “He said be was forced to obtain a room for himself and the girl,” said • Mrs. ‘•’omby, ‘but didn't want to go anywhere else because he put such implicit trust in me. I would not grant his request and hung up the telephone." Called Several Time#. “Later he called again." she con tinued. "This time he was more in sistent and said ■something about it being a case of life ami death. Be- j tween 6:30 and 10 o’clock he called probably half a dozen times. Finally I 1 told him not to call any more, as Advice to Those Who Have Lung Trouble Pulmonary Lung Trouble is said to be curable by simplx living in the open air and taking an abundance of fresh eggs and milk Do all you possibly can to add to strength and increase weight; eat wholesome, nour ishing food, and breathe the cleanest and purest air. and then, if health and strength do not return, add the tonic and beneficial effects of Eck- ( man’s Alterative.

Fomby said that she had been offered money to leave the city until the courts concluded with the Pha gan case. To substantiate this charge Die name of Alexander S. Martin, of Gainesville, a newspaper man. has been handed the police. He is said to know of hush money having been offered Mrs. Fomby. Shortly after Frank's arrest Mrs. Fomby said she visited him at the Tower. At first she said he did nyt recognize her. hut later spoke to her, and they had a secret conference, the nature of which she would not dis cuss. The woman added that when she lived at 87 Armstrong Street Frank was a frequent visitor to her place and had brought girls there. Chief Lanford’# Theory. Chief Hanford's theory, as outlined Friday morning, is that the girl had been knocked unconscious when the alleged telephone call was made to secure a room, and the plan was to remove the girl to a place where she could be given medical attention without suspicion. “When it was seen that Mrs Fom by would not rent a room.’’ said Chief Lanford. "it was necessary that she be disposed of. Dead folks tell no tales." The corridors of the’Thrower build ing were thronged with witnesses long before 10 o’clock this morning, the hour for the Grand Jury to assemble. More than 100 are under subpena. If all are examined it will be several days before the result of the jury’s deliberation will be known. ^ George W. Parrott, a well-known business man. has written the follow ing letter in the Interest of Frank: As is perhaps known by many, I am interested in the National Pencil Company and I have, with keen interest, noted, from time * to time, hints and insinuations that Mr. Leo Frank has misused and mistreated female employee# of the factory. Deny He Misused Employe##. 1 felt It due myself and me oth er gentlemen interested in the factory that as to this matter there should be a thorough inves tigation. To that end. on Wednesday, to gether with other gentlemen like wise interested in the factory. I interviewed every employee of the factory, both male and female. Every one of them, without a dissenting voice, voluntarily and emphatically made affidavit that Mr. Frank had never, at any time, or in any way, misused or mis treated them, and that none of them had ever known a single instance of any familiarity on the part of Mr. Frank with any one of the female employees. These affidavits are In my pos session. This is a matter of personal eoncern to me. and 1 beg that, in Justice to myself and others in terested in the factory, that this matter be set fairly right before the public. GEORGE W. PARROTT HERE IS AFFIDAVIT CHARGING BRIBERY Here is an affidavit in possession of the police, sworn to by Hanford's sec retary, G. C. Febuary and A. S. Col yar, detailing the conversation alleged to have taken place Monday night in Colonel Felder’s office: “State of Georgia, County of Ful ton.—Personally appeared before me, a notary public in and for the above State and County, A S. Colyar and G. C. Febuary. who, being duly sworn, deposes and says: “We met Mr. Felder in his office Monday night at 8 o’clock p. m., and Mr. Felder said: I know who killed Mary Phagan. I have had a Burns man here for three weeks, I know when she was killed and how she was killed. She was murdered 30 minutes after she reach ed that building, on the second floor, and then the body was lowered to the basement. And I know who wrote those notes that were found by hei body. “ ‘This d—d fellow Lanford has had that poor negro Ed Connally lock ed up for three weeks without a war rant. and he knows it, and he can be impeached from office for it; be knows there is no evidence against Newt Lee, and yet he holds him. 1 would expose- Lanford and Beavers right now, but I don’t want to detract attention from the Pragan case or mix their case up with the Phagan case. “ ‘Beavers is a . but I came pretty near catching him one day alst week, but when we do catch him, we are going to put the d—d re form in a two-horse wagon, nak ed. and drive him through the streets of Atlanta with a sign on him, "Here is Atlanta’s Reform Police Chief.’’ Lanford is a d—d drunkard and keeps a quart of whisky in his desk all of the time, and the people of this town are indignant at the conduct of those flunkeyqs down there. I am receiving at least twenty letters every day, and as many telephone calls, telling me that the people are behind me in this fight to impeach those . Right here on my desk is a letter (getting letter from his desk and reading aloud) from one of the most promi nent women in the city of Atlanta, commending my course.’ ” The affidavit then continues: “The Colonel then said. *1 want the evi dence to impeach both Beavers and Lanford.’ The remark was made that we might get in Jail, and Colonel Fel der said: There are only two ways of getting to the jail; one is through the Mayor and the other is through the Governor; and if you get arrested by the policemen, Jim Woodward, with whom* I had a long interview this afternoon, will make those —— down there jump a rope to turn you loose, and I don’t care a d—d who the Governor is. whether It be Joe Broxx r n or Jack Slaton, I will have any masi turned loose that will get me the evklence that will im peach those If they arrest you, call on me and see if I don’t come with the bond at any hour. I can call a mass meeting to-morrow afternoon through the papers and have ten thousand of the best citizens in this town meet at Five Points to morrow night and go to the station house and hang Beavers and Lanford to telephone poles, the two corrupt grafters and thieves.’ “ ‘Now, I want to say to you further (talking to Febuary). You go and get me the evidence in the Phagan case and that Coleman afdavit, and bring it to me. and I will give you one thou sand dollars in cash for it. And if you lose your job I will place you in a government position in Washing ton or a job in New York; and if I Ufa down on that I will give you p job here in my ofee.’ It was sug gested to Colonel Felder that we would have to steal the papers, for no one knew the combination to the safe except Chief Lanford and Mr. Feb uary’. and in reply to this, Colonel Felder said. ‘Go ahead and get them and I will pay you one thousand dol lars.’ And we then stated to Colonel Felder that this would be larceny aft er trust, and Co’onel Felder '•aid, ‘Larceny H——. It is not. larceny to steal a perjured affidavit and forged statements and other crooked papers that a d thief like Lanford has gathered against an innocent man; and you get them and I will stand behind you and pay the money. I have such men as James G. Wood ward. C. <\ Jones. Robert F. Maddox. Sam Inman. J. W. English, and the best men in this town behind me. and who are determined to put that gang . . . . to the bad, and they will stand behind you gentlemen with their money and their lives. ” “Colonel Felder further stated that Lanford and Beavers were feasting and fattening off of the rich graft they were getting out of certain dis orderly houses they were shielding, after they had had people to believe that they h&d closed them up. and certain blind tigers and gamblers thar were favored by these grafters; and upon being askeri how much they got. Colonel Felder replied that the amount was colossal.** The above is the sum and sub stance of a conversation between Col. T. B. Felder, A. S. Colyar and G. C Febuary. held in the office of Colons Felder, in the Equitable building, on Monday night. May 19. 1913. at about 8:15 p m. A. S. COLYAR. G r. FEBUARY.
