THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.SATURDAY. MAY 24. 1013.
LANFORD'S SECRETARY
SEES HUSBAND'S
Denies, However, That He Ever
Offered Money During Course
of Conversation Recorded.
Mayor Woodward Saturday admit
ted that the dictograph record of his
conversation in the room of the mys
terious Colyar was correct. After
reading the report in The Georgian,
he said.
"This is not as strong as the con
versation 1 told you I had before 1
knew they had a dictograph on me.
"I did not offer them any money,
hut 1 will say now that I will sub
scribe to a fund that might unearth
any graft in any city department But
I haven't got any $1,000 to give
Denies Phagan Connection.
"Another thing 1 want to make clear
Is that my dealing with those men
had nothing whatever to do with the
Phagan case. They told me they had
evidence of the corruption of Beav
ers and l^anford. I wanted to see
what they had
"I don't suppose anyone takes se
riously the statement that Colonel
Felder controls me. It is just as ab
surd to believe that he controls So
licitor Dorsey or the Governor."
*‘G. C. February, secretary to De
tective Chief Newport Lanford, and
A. 8. Colyar, that long-haired mys
terious investigator, talked to me
about evidence they had proving that
Chief of Police Beavers and Chief
Lanford were protecting disorderly
houses and blind tigers. They talked
of protecting February's job and the
need of $1,000 to pull off the affair.
Told Them to Got Proof.
"My reply was If February could
show up any crooks in the police de
partment I did not think the people
of Atlanta would stand for him losing
his job. I told them to produce the
evidence. If it was worth anything
I told them 1 did not think there
would be any trouble about a just
reward, but that I did not have any
$1,000 to give them.
"The Phagan case was not men
tioned.
Charles C. Jones, ow ner of pome o?
the closed "houses in our midst." also
said he was persuaded to visit the
mysterious room of Colyar, No. 31.
"When he spoke about money to
#how up Beavers, and I told him 1
was not interested, the interview end
ed." said Jones.
Mayor Woodward said the first he
knew of Colyar was one day last
week Colyar called at the City HhII
and told the Mayor's secretary, Frank
Hammond, he had some important
evidence to submit to the Mayor
When he was delayed in getting into
the office, he grew impatient and de
clared that it was more trouble to
see the Mayor of Atlanta than the
President of the United States.
Felder Te||§ of Evidence.
"Monday," said Mayor Woodward.
'Colonel Felder came to my office. He
told me that in working on the Pha-
gan case he had unearthed some
startling evidence of corruption in the
police department.
" 'Give me the evidence.’ I said to
him, ‘and I will see that It Is given
proper attention and investigation.'
"He explained that it would take
funds to employ a detective to get
the evidence together, as the man he
had employed was confined to the
Phagan rase.
"My reply was that If the evidence
was sufficient to convict, I did not
think there would be the least trouble
about getting the money. His re
ply was that it was in documentary
form.
"Just as he was about to leave,
Charlie Jones came in. As I remem
ber, Colonel Felder left immediately.
Jones had been up to the meeting of
Council Monday afternoon. I under
stood, and dropped by just for a min
ute."
^ 4 Mayor’s Next Experience.
Woodward said his next ex-
perience^^Uth the alleged plotters ei
al. was on Wednesday afternoon when
February and E G. Miles, a private
detective, came to his office in the
Empire Building.
"It was a little after 3 o'clock." said
the Mayor. "They told me they could
show up Reavers and Lanford with
unquestionable proof. I was reluctant
to go. but they Insisted, so I told them

State aforesaid, with the offense of
murder, for that the said Leo M.

26th day of April, In the year of our
Lord 1913. with force and arms, did
unlawfully and with malace afore
thought, kill and murder one Marx

her. the said Mary Phagan, with a
cord placed around her neck, contrary
to the laws of the State and the good
order, peace and dignity thereof.
HUGH M DORSEY.
Solicitor General.
J. M. STARNES, Prosecutor.
Fulton Superior Court, 1913.
Leo M. Frank was confronted In his
cell by the startling confession of the
negro sweeper, James Connally.
"What have you to say to this?"
demanded a Georgian reporter
Frank, as soon as he gained the im
port of what the negro had told,
Jumped back in his cell and refused
to say a word. His hands moved ner
vously and his fate twitched as
though he were on the verge of a
breakdown, but he absolutely declined
to deny the truth of the negro's state,
ment or' to make any sort of com
ment upon it.
His only answer to the repeated
questions that were shot at him was a
negative shaking of the head, or the
simple, "I have nothing to say."
Solicitor Dorsey let It be known
following Ihe adjournment of the
Grand Jury Saturday noon that Newt
Lee’s release within a short time was
not unlikely.
It is also understood that James
Connally, on the strength of his ad
mission that he wrote notes at the
dictation of Frank, probably will be
held as accessory before the fact.

PLOT ON LIFE OF
BEAVERS TOLD.
Man
But He Fails to Produce
to Prove Charge, as He
Promised.
A. F. Colyar, Jr. failed Saturday to
produce the "mysterious man" whom
he declared had been hired to "shoot
to death” Chief of Police J. L. Bea
vers.
When Colyar gave the sensational
information of the conspiracy to kill
the police official he declared that he
would bring to police headquarters
the man who had been secured to
commit the deed; that this person
would make affidavit to hear out the
plot charges, and would swear also
that he had been promised immunity
from punishment for his act.
Colyar asserted at the time of his
charge® that the man was at present
in Atlanta and intended remaining
here until he had killed Beavers. Col
yar also declared that the person had
intimated that he, might also kill
Chief of Detectives Newport Lanford
Colyar then stated that he knew of
the person’s whereabouts and would
bring him before the police to prove
the charges

acy came to light Saturday morning.

Colyar promised to take him Friday
night to the offiqce of Chief Lanford,
in the police station, where the affi
davit w as to* be made. Up to a late
hour Saturday, however, neither he
nor Colyer had put in an appearance.
According to the story told by Col
yar. this man is not a resident of At
lanta. but has been here several days.
He is an old friend of Colyar. He
said this man would swear positively
that the murder plot proposition was
made to him shortly after his arrival
here, and that he would give the
name of the man who engineered the
deal.

Wanted Woodward to See Just
What Sort of a Crook Colyar
Was, He Declares.
Edward O. Miles, a private detec
tive. assumes the responsibility for
the presence of Mayor Woodward at
the Williams House, resulting in the
dictographing of the Chief Executive
of Atlanta. He also says it was at
his suggestion Colonel Thomas R
Felder discontinued even his ac
quaintance with A. S. Colyar. the
wild-eyed investigator from Tennes
see.
Miles’ statement to a Georgian* re
porter follows:
"Colonel Felder had already been
to see Colyar and he asked me to go
and see what he had; to examine any
papers, etc.
"I went, and as soon as I saw Col
yar 1 was disgusted. The Lord
doesn't make mistakes, and the Lori
certainly put the brand of a crook
on that fellow's physiognomy if He
ever put It anywhere.
"Colyar wanted Mayor Woodward
and asked me to get him. I went to
the Mayor and said: 'I want to take
you down to see the greatest freak
and crook you ever saw in your life.
I want you to hear his line of bunk.
You don't have to say anything—just
come along and listen to what he
hands out.’
Though Someone Listened.
"That was Wednesday afternoon. I
didn't think anything about a dicto
graph. but 1 knew, or at least
thought, .that he had somebody lis
tening In the next room. I couldn't
help knowing that, because every
nqw and then Colyar raised his voice
so they could hear. Anybody on the
streets a block could have heard
heard him had they listened.
"After the conversation, practical
ly as reported in the dictograph,
Mayor Woodward left.
"Colyar told me not to forget to
bring Colonel Felder and the money
next morning at 10 o'clock. I asked
him what money, and he said the
$ 1,000 for the papers. I told him I
didn't want to buy any papers: that
if Colonel Felder or anybody else did.
that was their business, but I didn't
believe they did.
"Then 1 went back and reported to
Colonel Felder and advised him to
have nothing more to do with Col
yar; not to go back to the Williams
Douse and even not answer his tele
phone calls.
Felder Quit Negotiations.
"They waited all day Thursday, and
Colonel Felder didn’t go back and
didn’t answer the telephone calls.
That's why it was published in ! n-
completed form. They saw the jig
was up. and I believe Colyar then
sold the story.
"I know young Gentry, who toos
down the dictograph report, and I’! 1
wager $100 he won't sign an affida
vit it has been published in unex-
purgated form. Nothing has been
added, but some things have been
left out. However. I can't say that
the omissions made any material
change.
“Yes, I am the one that caused
Mayor Woodward to go there. He is
all right. I just wanted him to hear
the line of bunk that crook had to
hand out.

Great American Sweepstakes.
Five Wives Each.
LOS ANGELES, Maj 24. -Nat
Goodwin and DeWolf Hooper are now
running; neck and neck in the great
American marriage sweepstakes.
A dispatch from New York states
that DeWolf Hopper, comedian, has
just been married for the fifth time,
having been divorced April 21 by Nel-
la Bergen, his fourth wife. His bride
is said to be Miss Edna Curry, of the
Gilbert & Sullivan Company.
Nathaniel Goodwin. Jr., mining
magnate and comedian, will be mar
ried here to-day by Justice Summer-
field to Miss Marjorie Parrott More
land, an actress, of Baltimore. An
nouncement was made to this effect
at a private dinner at Mr, Goodwin's
Ocean Park home last night. It was
said the wedding would be very quiet.
Miss Moreland is a divorcee, her
first husband being Charles N. Dough-

“For Love” This Time,
Further he declared:
"This time I am marrying for love.
Miss Moreland is the only woman I

home-making added to beauty and
talent. I consider her the coming

Everything I have is hers. What I am

Felder Charges Police
Plot io Shield Slayer
Colonel Thomas B. Folder entered
into an explicit and detailed denial to
The Geoigian of all the charges of
attempted bribery contained in the
affidavits signed by C C. Febuary,
secretary to Chief of Detectives Lan
ford, and A. S. Colyar, a private de
tective with a spectacular career.
Colonel Felder declared the alleged
dictograph record of conversation he
is alleged to have had with Colyar
and Febuary in Williams House No.
2 a "frame-up" and a fabrication.
The report that he had offered $1.-
000 for the Coleman affidavit in the
Phagan case and affidavits said to in
dicate graft in the Police Department
he branded as absolutely false.
The whole plot had been concocted,
he said, tc discredit himself and W. J.
Burns and drive them from the Pha
gan case so the guilty person might
be protected.
“Every move made by the police in
the Phagan case has been for the pro
tection of the real criminal," said
Colonel Felder. "The police have kept
an innocent negro there in a cell for
three weeks in the hope that they
can crush a confession out of him and
let the real culprit go free.
"Guilty Person Protected."
"If the desire were not to protect
the guilty person, why should they
desire to eliminate Bums and myself?
Burns has a reputation for landing
every criminal he goes after. He has
a reputation for ixeing absolutely mer
ciless in the manner he hunts down
his man. It is as certain as anything
can be in the detection of criminals
that he will be successful, once he
gets started on a case. He is known
to be unpurchasable. Everybody
knows that he could have accepted a
million dollars at any time during the
chase for the McNamara hrothers if
he had been willing to say that he
had not been able to find the dyna
miters.
"As for myself, my professional rep
utation, at least, is that if 1 have not
done a case in which I was interested
any good. I certainly have not done it
any harm.
"So. I repeat, what other motive
could they have in trying to drive Mr.
Burns and myself from the Phagan
case except to protect the real cul
prit?
"That so-called dictograph conver
sation was a frame-up and a fabrica
tion from start to finish. In a longer
statement that 1 am preparing. I will
show this conclusively. I will demon
strate it by the very conversation that
is alleged to have been reproduced 'n
the other room by the dictograph. I
will show that things were written
that never would have been said by-
persons in conversation.
"I "ill show its absolute absurdity
with such clearness that no room will
be left for doubt. It will be so plain
j that he who runs may read. It won't
! require any detective to show that it
I is a frame-up. and one of the cl uni -
1 siest and crudest that eve* was at-
j tempted.
"That Coleman affidavit, in xvhier.
the mother and stepfather of the
murdered Mary Phagan are made to
say that they never hired me or ap
proved of me as an attorney to prose
cute the Phagan slayer, was extorted,
in my opinion. As a matter of fact. I
never said I was employed by the
Colemans. I announced that I had
been engaged by residents of Betl-
vvood who were friends of the be
reaved family. It is true, however,
that Mr. Coleman approved of my
selection. I never offered $1,900 for
the possession of this affidavit.
"Neither is it true that I went to
Mayor Woodward and told him that
there was lots of graft in the city, but
that it would take a good deal of
money to uncover it. I had only a
brief conversation with the Mayor,
and I told him at the time that I did
not wish to undertake anything or be
come interested in anything that
would take my time from the prose
cution of the Phagan case. It was
not understood that 1 was to probe
into the city’s graft conditions.
^ Will Expose Colyar.
"Along with my detailed statement
to-morrow 1 shall make public some
of the startling incidents in the ca
reer of this man Colyar. i have known
his history for years. What 1 have
to say about him—and practically
every statement I make will be sup
ported by affidavits—will cause a
grave doubt as to his credibility.
"I am acquainted with his move
ments when he went into Mexico. I
know of the humiliation he was to his
father, who was a well-known public
man. I xx ill tell of these things when
I make my formal statement to-mor
row. x
"Colyar came to me and said that
he had evidence of graft in the Po
lice and Detective Departments. He
said he knew that hush money was
being paid the police authorities by
the proprietors of disorderly houses.
"I said to him: Don't you know.
Colyar. that nobody would believe a
word you had to say? If you’ve got
any papers that you think are worth
anything, you can bring them to me
and I’ll look them over.' It is from
these ''onversations that we had in
my office that he has framed up this
so-called dictograph ‘conversation,
adding the conversation that gives
it the appearance of an attempt to
bribe.
Burns Fought, He Says.
"It, is nothing but a plot to get
me out of the Phagan case, but I
am certain of one thing, and that is
that Burns and Tobie, if they are
not circumvented by this gang, will
have the guilt fixed upon the right
person within a very short time after
Burns arrives here. They will have
to work against difficulties, for as
soon as it became known that Burns
was going to enter the case all of
the witnesses were instructed not to
talk to any of the Burns operatives,
although they had been allowed to
talk to the Pinkertons, hired by the
National Pencil Company, without
reserve.”
Colonel Felder Is bitter in his at
titude toward Colyar and the people
he represents, and declares that he
will have them "shown up" within
another 24 hours.
He was so harassed by the con
stant ringing of the telephone Friday
night that, with Mrs. Felder, he left
home shortly after 7 o’clock with the
intention, he said, of hiding himself
somewhere up town. He found a
group of his friends at one of the
clubs and he stayed there until short
ly after 10 o'clock when he met Mrs.
Felder, who had been witnessing a
rehearsal at the Grand Theater.
"If they’re framing up on you. I

U. S. Will Reindict
3 for Cotton Corner
NEW YORK, May 24.—The Gov
ernment has decided to seek the re
indictment of Frank Hayne and Wil
liam P. Brown, of New Orleans; Eu
gene Scales, of Texas, and Colonel
Robert M. Thompson, of New York,
on the charge that they conspired
to corner the cotton crop of 1909 to
obtain a profit of $10,000,000.
The document contains flaws, it is
understood, which the Government
fears might stand in the way of con
viction.
James A. Patten, of Chicago, plead

of the indictment, and was fined $4 -

NEW YORK. May 24.—Andrew

against Japan or any other country,
he would shoulder a musket and go

made just before ihe ironmaster
