THE ATLANTA UEOROLAN AND NEWS.SAIT RDAV. MAY 21, 1!M:„
Dictograph Conversations in
Which Mayor Took Part
(Continued from Page One.)
Miles Ho was up to the City Hall H. will be over in a few min
utes, he said. •
Colyar—Where Is your residence, Mr. Miles'’
Miles- In Decatur. I used to live In Smyrna
iConversation here became inaudible foi a short time on account of
scraping of feet upon the floor, chairs, etc which drowned the sounda
through the instrument.)
MH<- if you will excuse me. I will lake off m> cat. It is very warm.
Colyar and February—Certain!.'
Colyar—Step downstairs anti gej the pitcher and bring it up her«*
fu'l of ice water.
i Mr. February was evidently the one addressed, as some one w'ent
out and the conversation continued between Mr Miles and Mr. Colyar.)
Miles Wc will have that fixed If we have got the goods on these
detectives their sphere of work will be over. It will take three or four
days
Colyar Well, what do you think of this I’began murder?
Miles 1 think it is the most damnable- They telephoned Craig.
The Constitution man to come and go with them.
Colyar I)o you believe Frank murdered that girl?
Miles 1 never have believed It. It looks a great deal more like he
did than it did before from the affidavits. Also there is going to he
pretty strong evidence that the girl was not raped.
'Conversation became very indistinct for a few minutes.!
Miles I think the whole thing was handled badly. In my mind I
am satisfied. They had an extra on the street at <1 JO. They should
never have allowed all the persons they did on the premises. .lust
after the murder there were only a few scents and tracks, and the man
who did the murder could have easily been tracked, as no one else had
been there hut the negro and his tracks could have been very easily
eliminated.
Coivar Yes; that is right. It looks to me like they would have
known better
Miles They should have looked for foot prints and finger prints
Instead of that they had over 500 Anger prints (Conversation inter
rupted by knock at door.)
A moment or so later Mayor Woodward entered the room
Miles. Colyar and February »almost simultaneously) Well, how are
you Mr Mayor
(After the general conversation of all had subsided 1 wa* able to
distinguish Mr Miles voice.)
Miles 1 really don't know it well enough this is the first conference
I have had.
Colyar Well, Tom Felder told me that the Mayor wanted some evi
dence on these fellows down here at the city hall. Decatur Street, and
the station house, and here’s a man that works down there. He got
disgusted doing three men's work. He can get the evidence for you, but
he wants no one to know’ it There are some terrible framers down
there.
Miles- He is afraid they will throw him in jail, after they find it. out.
Woodward—How can they throw him in Jail?
Colyar—They can get a charge against anybody and throw him in
Jail. You don't know them like some other people do.
Woodward What Is the nature of the evidence he can get?
Colyar—Well, if he w’as to get the evidence that Mr. Felder wants,
It would do the work, which I understand is what you want.
Woodward—All I want to—(voice too low and indistinct)
Colyar—They would throw him out of hie job and put him In Jail.
Woodw’ard—I don’t see how’ they could do it.
Miles—I don’t—unless there are no sane people in the city any
more.
Colyar Well, you know they said they were going to close up the
red light—(voice too low.)
Woodward Well, they have got nothing to fear
Colyar—I went up to your office to see you, and 1 found It was
harder work to get in your office than when I was a newspaper reporter
Woodward—Well, my secretary came in and 1 told him to tell them
! would see you just as soon as I possibly could.
Colyar But he said you couldn't see me until to-morrow.
Woodward The reason I said that was because he said you SHid
you were in a hurry, and I said teil him to come bark to-morrow. If
you could have waited there a few minutes you would have had no
trouble You said you were in a hurry and had some business to at
tend to. hut 1 could not tell the other people to get out of the office.
Colyar There wasn't anybody else in the office.
Woodward—Well, the secretary or somebody was. Oh, I had to sign
up a lot of checks that had to go in before the bank closed.
Colyar—I have always heard you were a plain old politician
Woodward—It is just my natural way.
Colyar—Well, this is the man that can give the evidence down at
headquarters that you want, but he is afraid to.
Woodward There is nothing to be afraid of.
Colyar You don't know what police persecution is. They can prove
that black is white and water will run up stream, and they can get a
jury that will—
Miles—1 take this view of it. Tt will only be—with the police force
to be—until they won’t be in position to get anyone into trouble.
Colyar—They tell me they got a majority In the force.
Miles—No. sir; I don't—
Woodward—Dozier. I—
Colyar How many votes will it take to remove him?
Woodward—A majority.
Colyar—How many are on the board?
Woodward Twelve.
Colyar—You have a vote in case of a tie?
Woodward—1 have a vote anyhow. *
Miles He is a member ex-officio.
Woodward—I vote all the time.
Miles February wants to know if we can promise him protection. 1
think we can safely do it in a matter of right, like this.
Woodward — Yes.
Miles—He has the graft list and knows who's on the list, who is to
be protected and who is not to he protected. It looks to me like we have
the same thing down there that they had in New York, only on a smaller
scale because Atlanta Is a smaller town.
Colvai -Did you tell Tom Felder that you authorized Felder that if
he got the proof for you you would see that he got paid for it?
Woodward—1 told Felder that on matters of this kind (voice here
indistinct) and he has a good deal to say and 1 told him that 1 am
satisfied that certain parties would be willing to pay the money for him,
and if he got the evidence that would convict those people it would be
paid, and it will be There is no question about that.
Colyar—He said he would give him a thousand dollars for the evi
dence.
Miles—Felder said to me that February said that was the price.
February—Felder said that he would pay it to us. but he would
have to see the papers. He said be would give me one thousand dollars.
Miles —He didn't say that anyoody had authorized him to do it. He
Just said he would get it up.
W oodward—I don't know whether he had reference (voice loo low ).
As to whether he could rais*e the money or not; but if he did. he knows
that 1 have not authorized him to do anything of that kind.
Miles—What would b*» the nature of those documents?
' * yar It is* an affidavit from two people—both signed it- acknowl-
edging threats t graft and general corruption. Like you said a
w hile ago.
Miles—There is no trouble to show the graft?
February—(Reply inaudible).
Miles—(Voice too low at first) a place like the Walton Inn has
never been closed.
February—1 don't know just .(bout that one.
Miles—Now. my information is that the woman who runs it is a sis
ter-in-law of an official in the Po'ice Department. A woman gave me
that information and said that she was operating under projection, and
there certainly is a half dozen hacks mound there at 1 o'clock at nignt.

you? 1 am glad to have met you. Hood-night.
Colyar—Have you seen Felder since you hhw’ mo?
Miles- - Yes.
Colyar—What did he sav ab«»u> going out *nf town?
Miles He will go.
t’olyar—Well, we will get t.h<- papers.
Miles—1 told him that was reasonable.
Colyar—Then I will get the papers at 2:30 to-morrow. What time
will you got in in the morning?
Miles—I will get in at 8:80 to-morrow, and 1 have an appointment.
Colyar—I think it is best to go out there.
Miles 1 have no doubt. It can't possibly use our side.
t’olyar—(Jail me up at 2401, Atlanta 'phone, at the hotel, at 1 o'clock.
I won't have anything to do with the transfer of them in Fulton Coun

Colyar —What was his fee?
* Miles—A hundred thousand dollars.
Colyar—How much did he get?
Miles—Oh 1 Absolutely—
t’olyar How long have you known Felder 0
Miles—1 have known him 25 years, personally.
(’olyar — (Quest ion incoherent).
Miles—Did you hear him commit himself?
t’olyar (Answer incoherent). Now listen here, this boy needs pro
tection. Will you do all in your power to see that he gets protection?
Will you promise not to use it any way as to jeopardize his position in
any way?
Miles • * * And I believe he would, because I have seen him tried. 1
have been through all his campaigns with him. and I have never known
him to go hack on his word. I can't convince my mind that the young
man won’t balk He is liable to lose hiv nerve. He seems nervous and
afraid.
Colyar No, he won't balk; he is just timid.
Miles In dealing with a rattlesnake 1 never think about (dictophone
not clear) Do you?
Colyar—No.
Miles I presume every man has his own code of honor, and mine is
if the right is figured in the wrong that the right needn’t hurt you. I
don't mean to call him a rattlesnake, as I don’t anything against him.
By that respect 1 had in mind the general corruption in that depart
ment down there.
Colyar He goes down there an«' gets the papers and brings them
out there and they are the papers that you and Felder want and they
would know that lyjbody could get them but Lanford, and him and Lan
ford would say- that he didn't get them and they would know February
got them and would fire him right away. Now, how is the Mayor going
to put him back
Miles If they are the documents of the nature he understands they
are, there w ill be another Chief in his office. They would put him back
for the very reason it would insure a straight administration of the
next Chief.
Colyar Will you call me in the morning at 10 o’clock?
Miles 1 will call you at 10 o’clock.
Colyar—We will make Tom spend his money now.
Miles Yes. You don’t want to give the Mayor any list of these
things.
Colyar—I thought you wanted .he papers.
Miles—1 don't want them.
Colyar Tom does. He can ell about the papers whether they are
what he wants.
Miles—We agree with the Mayor that we get this list.
Colyar—I am willing to copy it
Colyar—Tom said that the papers—
Miles Between you and Tom. we have nothing to do with it. If
you are going to sell them to him. we will drop out of it. You say you
will see the Mayor?
Colyar I will see him to-morrow.
Miles Good-night.
Coivar—Gotod- night.

Attorney Charges Crawford Heirs’
Representatives With Being
Disreputable Character.
Heated discussion, resulting in a
charge by Henry Brewster, represent
ing part of the original legatees and
Mrs. M. B. Crawford under the w
of Nancy E. Crawford and J. B. Craw
ford. that Joe James, representing
(J. E. Crawford, was disreputable, was
heard Friday morning in the city hall
when the two sides of the Crawford
estate clashed in a wordy battle.
James was denounced in scathing ;
terms by Attorney Henry Brewster, j
who charged that James had tried ;j
make a settlement with one of tael
heir9 and had got hold of one of his
clients. Brewster said he had made a |
settlement after having seen James’ J
clients and knew the complete cir- j
cumstances after hearing the testi- |
monv. He said he was convinced be
yond all doubt of the disreputable j
character of these people, and tha* j
their evidence was unreliable.
Brewster then proceeded to de
nounce James, characterizing him s
neing no better than his clients. He
alleged that James also had obtained ;
Charles Crawford, one of his clients,
a man easily preyed upon because of
h'.s innocence of .he law. and was now
atiempting to rob #his man.
The hearing was before Judge
lames A. Anderson, who. under th ■
oresent law, has no authority to pun- !
ish for libel, as he is acting merely as j
a referee in the case.

$200,000 and has been in the county !

lawyers for the widow declare a
settlement had been effected, granting
an equal distribution of one-half to
each side, but that James now was
attacking the legality of J. B. Craw-
fora's second marriage, and in search
of personal gain sought to rob the
heirs.
James declared the charges we e
unfounded and unjust. Carroll Lati
mer. an attorney retained by the heirs,
said he did not agree with James'
method of conducting the case.

Salonika Dispatches Report!
Fierce Fighting—Real War
Is Feared.
pecial Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
ATHENS, May 24.—The utmost
gravity attends the Graeco-Bulgar \
situation, for dispatches from Saloni
ka to-day reported that fierce fighting
is still in progress between an army
of 66.000 Bulgars and 4.000 Greeks.
Fear is felt in quarters that war will
be declared between the two coun
tries unless an amicable understand
ing is soon reached.
While the fighting was brought
about by the action of the Bulgars in
crossing the neutral zone, there has
been ill-feeling ever since Greece laid
claim to Salonika last year. An ar
tillery and infantry battle is in prog
ress near Panghaion in Southern Al
bania. An unofficial dispatch said
that over 250 hau been killed in 48
hours.
Consternation has been caused here
by the break, which, it is feared, will
have an adverse influence upon peace
negotiations with Turkey.
