THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY. MAY 24. 101?,. GIRL’S RORY It was announced Saturday noon that Leo M. Frank hail been ndicted by the Grand Jury for the murder of Mary F'hagan. The authorities are of Ihe opinion that they have a very strong ?sse against Frank and Lee, and sufficient evidence to convict Frank of the murder. Rumors about the Grand fury room were definite to the tffect that evidence produced igainst Frank convinced the en tire jury that the ease against Frank was very strong. rtf course the prorfM*dIngs of the 3rand Jury are secret and no mem >er of the Grand Jury nor any mern- >er of Solicitor Dorsey's staff would five the reporters information as to vhat had taken place In the Grand fury’ Loom, or what evidence had been Ilsclosed against Frank or Lee. That the authorities have very im portant evidence that has not yet >een disclosed to the public is certain. The Georgian has maintained this 'rom the beginning of the investiga- Jon. Th* Jury adjourned until Friday vithout indicting l^ee. Several most peculiar features nark th* 5 affidavit of James Connally, ind Solicitor Dorsey is chary about tccepting its supposed admissions vlthout a thorough investigation. The fact that the negro sweeper Places the date as the Friday before he murder that Frank asked him for ipecimens of his handwriting forms he first mystifying phase of the con tusion. No theory that has placed the re- iponslbility of the crime upon Frank ias held that he planned it dellber- itely a day before it was committed. The unanimous theory of those who lave-believed Frank guilty is that tie lid it on the necessity of the moment .o prevent the girl revealing the at- ; ack which is supposed to have pre ceded the killing. The belief that the killing was planned as far ahefld as Friday has jntered no one’s mind in respect to he circumstances of the mystery. The negro also says in his afflda- rit that Frank muttered: “Why ihould I hang.'*' a very significant luestion if it could be regarded as lkely to be made by a guilty person, put a question which appears entire- y outside the realm of probabilities, m view of the careful watch Frank ias kept on his tongue ever since the rity was shocked by the news of the nurder the morning of April 27. The entire affidavit ie exceedingly peculiar Connolly’s testimony came an a sur prise. Few persons knew of the weighty evidence which was being •arried before the Grand Jury when he negro sweeper was taken before hat tribunal except the prosecution. Connally was arrested on suspicion he morning following the murder. He lad been confined in the Tower since :hat time. Sent for Detective. Until Saturday morning his testi- ■nony had been considered by prac- :ieally everyone connected with the *ase a* of small value. Just before the Grand Jury opened Saturday morning, however.

When the negro had finished his itatemen» he was taken immediately to ’he court house.

That was the aisle on the fourth floor, where 1 was working, and when I went down to the office he asked me 'ould I write and I told him yes 1 'ould write a little bit, and he give m** a scratch pad and told me what to put on it. and told me to put on ihere. “Dear Mother, a long tall black negro did this by himself." and he :old me to write it two or three times bn there I w rote it on a w hite scratch pad. single ruled He went to his 1esk and pulled out another scratch pad. a brown looking scratch pad. and looked at my writing and wrote on that himself, but when l went to his >ffi< e he asked me if I w anted a cigar ette. and 1 told him yes. but they didn't allow any smoking in the fac tory. and he pulled out a box of ci garette That cost 15 cents a box. and hat box he had $2.50—two paper rs an A wo quarters—and 1 taken was one of the cigarettes and handed him the box back, and he told me that was all right T could keep the box, and I told him he had some money in the box, and he said that was all right I was welcome to that for I was a good working negro around there, and then he asked me w'here was Gordon Bailey (Hnowball they call him), and I told him In was on the elevator, and he asked me if 1 knew the night watchman, and I told him no, sir. I didn't know him. and he asked me if I ever saw him in the basement, and I told him no, sir, I never did see him down here, but he could as . the tire- man and maybe he could tell him more {.bout that than I could, and then Mr. Frank was laughing and Jollying and going on in the office, and I asked him not to take out any money for that watchman 1 owed, for I didn’t ha e any to spare, and he told me he wouldn’t, but he would see to me gett some money a little bit later. He told me he had some wealthy | eople in Brooklyn, and then he held his head up and looked out of the corner of his eyes and said. "Why should I hang.'' and that’s all I re member him saying to me. When I asked him not to take out any money for the watch he said you ought not to buy any w-atch, for that big fat wife of mine wants me to bu. her an automobile but he wouldn't'do it; I never did see his wife. On Tuesday morning, after the holiday on Satur day, before Mr. Frank got .n jail, he come up the aisle where 1 was sweep ing and held his head over to me and whispered to me to he a good boy, and that was ill he said to me.

HUGH M. FX>RSEY, Solicitor General. .1 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 face twitched as though he were on the verge of a breakdown, but he absolutely declined to defiy 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 he known following the 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. Girl Tells Her Story. Little Monteen Stover, the girl who went into the National F’encil Fac tory at 12:10 o’clock the Saturday aft ernoon that Mary F'hagan was stran gled. was one of the eight witnesses called before the Grand Jury Sat urday forenoon. The girl testified before the Coron ers Jury that she went to the factory at this time to draw her money and that she was unable to find Mr. Frank, although Frank had testified that be was in his office from the time that Mary Phagan left until Foreman Quinn is said to have called at about 12:20 o’clock. M. B. T>arley. foreman at the fac tory. was another of the witnesses. He was before the Grand Jury for about half an hour undergoing ex amination. Another employee. E. F.

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 B 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 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 I was disgusted. The Lord doesn’t make mistakes, and the Lord 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.’ Thought 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 now and then Colyar raised his voice so they could hear. Anybody on the streets a block could have 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. 1 told him I j 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 I went back and reported to Colonel Felder and advised him to have nothing more to do with Col- var;' not to go back to the Williams House and even not answer his tele phone calls. Felder Quit Negotiations. "They waited all day Thursday, and Colonei Felder didn’t go back and didn’t answer the telephone calls. That's why it was published in in- completed form. They saw the jig was up. and 1 believe Colyar then sold the story.

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 '.s all right. I just wanted him to hear the line of bunk that crook had to hand out. B. B. Haslett. city detective, was in the jury room about ten minutes. H. L. Parry, stenographer, testified for about live minutes, presumably identifying the proceedings of the Coroner's Jury. Miss Grace Hicks, the girl that identified the body of Mary F'hagan the morning the body was found, was the first witness of the day. She was detained less than 10 minutes. J. M.

Felder entered into an explicit and detailed denial to The Georgian of all the charges of attempted bribery contained in the affidavits signed by 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, to 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 Burns and myself? Burns has a reputation for landing every criminal he goes after. He has a reputation for Deing 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 knowm to be unpurchasable. Everybody knows that he could have accepted a million dollars at any time during the chase for the McNamara brothers 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 I 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. Bums 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 I am preparing, I will show this conclusively. 1 will demon strate it by the very conversation that is alleged to have been reproduced in the otner room by the dictograph. I will show that things were written that never would have been said by persons in conversation. “I will show its absolute absurdity with such clearness that no room will be left for doubt. It will be so plain that he who runs may read. It won’t require any detective to show that it is a frame-up. and one of the clum siest and crudest that ever was at tempted. "That Coleman affidavit, in which the mother and stepfather of the murdered Mary Phagan are made to say that they never hired me or ap- nrovad of me aa an attorney to praw- 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 Beil- wood who were friends of the be reaved family. It is true, however, that Mr. Coleman approved of my selection. I never offered $1,000 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 1 did not wish to undertake anything or be come interested in anything that would take my time fro-m the prose cution of the Phagan case. It was not understood that I was to probe into the city’s graft conditions. Will Expose Colyar. “Along with my detailed statement to-morrow I shall make public some of the startling incidents in the ca reer of this man Colyar. I have known his history for years. What I have to say about him—and practically every statement I make will be sup ported by affidavits—will cause a gi.f.T doubt, as to his credibility. "I am acquainted with his move ments when he went into Mexico. I know of Hie humiliation he was to his father, who was a well-known public man. I will tell of these things when I make my formal statement to-mor row. "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 conversations 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 again3t difficulties, for as soon as it became known that Burns was going to enter the cane all of the witnesses were instructed not to talk to any of the Bums 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 fhat 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 tfp 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 \ rehearsal at the Grand Theater. "If they’re framing up on you. I want to tell you you’ve got-my sym pathy," paid one of his friend.-, heart ily. “Thank you, 'rid n m “ returned the Colonel, but I don't any sym pathy.

Brown, of New Orleans; Eu gene Scales, of Texas, and Colonel Robert M. Thompson, of New York, on the charge that they conspired » corner the cotton crop of 1909 to obtain a profit of $10,000,000.
