star, and a pint bottle of whisky by
Captain Poole, Policeman ,T. < 1 As-
ketvT of the morning watch, faces
charges of drunkenness, und of ar
resting Roy N. Spence, nineteen years
old, of Cave Springs, Ga„ because the
boy asked him where he could catch a
car to Whitehall Street. Askew was
suspended by chief Beavers, who has
announced that he will at once file
the charges against the officer.
Young Spencer graduated recently
from the high school in his home
town, and on Friday came to Atlanta
to secure a position. New to city
ways, he thought the best wav to get
information was to ask a policeman.
He cmne out on the plaza a; the Tei-

Policeman Andrews, the regular
man dn the Terminal Station beat,
paw Askew make the arrest, and saw
also, he claims, that Askew was
drunk. Unable to get a satisfactory
explanation from Askew, he tailed the
patrol and sent both Spence and As
kew to headquarters.

SUSPEND PDLICElDICTOGRAPH RECORD
USED AGAINST FELDER
Continued From Page One.
Col.var arranged a meeting in Fcldc'Cs office between Felder and
<>. (’. February, clerk and stenographer to Lanford. Lanford says
be had two other men to shadow Colyar and February; that the
meeting took place in Felder's office shortly after K o'clock Mon
day night and lasted for somewhat more than half an hou 1 '.
Lanford says Colyar and February reported to him that Fel
der said he would pay well for the affidavit made by the Cole
mans denying that they authorized Felder to enter the Pliagan
ease and for transcripts of the police records of the case.
Lanford says that Colyar and February reported to him that
Felder asked February if he had access lo Lanford V safe and his
records; that February replied that none but he and Lanford knew
the combination to the safe, arid that all the records of evidence
in the Phagan ease were kept in that safe.
Lanford says that February and Colyar reported that Felder
th *n said he would ?ive February $1,000 for a copy of the Phagan
evidence and for the affidavit which the Colemans had made.
Colemans Swear That They
Refused to Hire Felder
Here follows the affidavit made by Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Cole
man that they refused to employ Mr. Felder as a lawyer in the
case: f
State of Georgia, Fulton County.
The affiant, J, W. Cloeman and wife, citizens of Atlanta,
Ga., who reside at 146 Lindsay Street.
The affiant is the step-father of Mary Phagan, deceased,
the child who was foully murdered by a hellish brute on April
26, 1913.
The affiant is in the employ of the City of Atlanta in the
Sanitary Department.
The affiant, while at the police station during the Coro
ner's inquest, the exact day he does not remember, was ap
proached by a man somewhat under the influence of liquor,
and said to the affiant :
“1 am working for the law firm of T. It. Felder, and I
would like to have you go to his office, as he wants to see you,
and I advise you to employ him.”
Affiant said: “No, I won’t go to his office.”
The piker then said: ‘‘Will you talk to Colonel Felder
if I bring him here?” Whereupon the affiant agreed to see
him. He went off and came back in a few minutes with Fel
der. Colonel Felder then said: ‘‘I want you to employ me
to prosecute this case: it will not cost you a cent, as certain
people have promised to pay me my fee, but I have got to
have your consent to the employment before I can get into the
Coroner's jury.”
The affiant told him he did not want to employ him, and
did not want to have anything to do with him, as the affiant
did not employ him, nor did the affiant's wife employ him,
and the only information the affiant ever had that he was em
ployed was what he read in the newspapers.
Affiant has many good neighbors and lie appreciates their
sympathy for him and his broken-hearted wife, but he can not
see how they would come to employ Colonel Felder without
his knowledge and consent.
A man met the affiant on the street and offered him one
dollar to go Upon the fee of this astute counsel, but he declined
to accept it, and told the party he had not employed Felder.
Affiant is thoroughly satisfied with the great!* work done

by Chief of Police Heavers and Chief of Detectives Lanford
and the able men working under them, as he believes, as thou
sands of others do in Atlanta, that they have the real mur
derer in jail, aria tlu* affiant can not reconcile himself to the
conduct of Colonel Felder, who is posing as a prosecuting at
torney and Wauling $6,000 from the people, ot the city, as set
out in the afternoon papers, to bring a noted detective here,
and according to the press of the city, large amounts have
been subscribed by people the affiant does not believe are
anxious to prosecute the man under arrest.
The affiant means no reflection on the press of the city and
the citizens of Atlanta who art 1 in favor of justice and fair i
play. Affiant will ever appreciate the sympathy that has been
shown him and his family by these good people, and he asks
them if they have any money to spend to punish the murderer
of his sweet, innocent child to stand behind the Atlanta po
lice department and let no one mislead them.
