DICTOGRAPH
Denies, However, That He Ever
Offered Money During Course
of Conversation Recorded,
NEWBURG, N V.. May 25.—Bur-
Mayor Woodward to-day 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 I told you T had before 1
knew they had a dictograph on me.
"I did not offer them arty money,
hut I 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 I want to make clear
Is that my dealing jvith those men
had nothing whatever to do with the
Phagan case. They told me they had
evidence of the corruption of Beav
ers and Lanford 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 Linford, and
A. 8. Colyar, that long-haired my®
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 Thom to Get 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 Jol). I told them to produce the
evidence. If It was worth anything
I told them I 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, owner of some of
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
show up Beavers, and I told him I
was not interested, the Interview end
ed.” said Jones.
Mayor Woodward said the first he
knew of Colyar was one dav last
week. Colyar called at the City Hall
apd told the Mayor's secretary, Frank
HamWofid, 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 bf Atlanta than the
President of the United Stutes.
Felder Tell* 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 1 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 h ast 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 Folder left immediately.
Jop*s. had been up to the meeting of
Council Monday afternoon. I under
stood, and dropped by Just for a min
ute.”
Mayor's Next Experience,
Mayor Woodward said his next ex
perience with the ulleged plotters et
al. was on Wednesday afternoon when
February and E. O. Miles, a private
detective, came to his off ire in the
Empire Building.
"It was a -little after 3 o’clock,” said
the Mayor. “They told me they could
show up Beavers and Lanford with
unquestionable proof. I was reluctant
to go, but they insisted, so I told them

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 Oonnally.
“What have you to say to this?”
demanded a Georgian reporter.
Frank, as soon as he gained tlie 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 deny the truth of the negro’s state,
ment or to make any sort of com
ment upon it.
His only answer to the repented
questions that were shot at him was a
negutive shaking of the head, or the
imple, “I have nothing to say.”
Solicitor Dorsey let it be 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
Conntlly, on the strength »»f his ad
mission that he wrote notes at the
dictation of Frank, probably will he
held as accessory before the fact.

Hunt for Stolen Girl
Leads to Gypsy Band
CLEVELAND. May v,.-—Mercer
County, Pa., officials to-day began a
search which they hoped would re
turn to her parents, Katherine Win
ters. aged 9, kidnaped from Newcas
tle. Ind., early in March.
A band of Gypsies with whom she
is believed to be is tyut a few miles
from Mercer. Rewards aggregating
$1,500 are offered for the return of
the child.
A. 8. Colyar, Jr., failed entirely 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
wmuld bring to police headquarters
the man who had been secured to
commit the deed; that this person
would make affidavit to bear out the
plot charges, and would swear also
that he bad been promised Immunity
from punishment for his act.
Colyar asserted at the time of his
charges 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.
Disclosures of the amazing conspir.
acy came to light Saturday morning
Police officials have been quietly in
vestigating it since the astounding in
formation was gLven them.
This report created an intense sen
sation In police circles, and produced
one of the greatest sensations of the
Phagan mystery.
The name of this mysterious man
has not been furnished detectives, but
Colyar promised to take him Friday
night to the offlqoe of Chief Lanford,
in the police station, where the affi
davit was to be made. Up to a late
hour to-day, however, neither he
nor Colyer had put in an appearance.
According to the ptory 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 Ho also says it was at
his suggestion Colonel Thomas B
Felder discontinued even his ac
quaintance with A. 8. Colyar, the
Yvdld-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 a® I saw' Col
yar I 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.
1 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. I told him
didn’t want to buy any papers; that
if Colonel Felder or anybody else did,
that w f as their business, but I didn’t
believe they did.
“Then I went back and reported to
Colonel Felder and aavlsed him to
have nothing more to do with Col
yar; not to go back to the Williams
House and even not answer his tele
phone calls.
Folder 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 in-
completed form. They saw the jig
was up, and 1 believe Colyar then
sold the story.
"I know young Gentry, who took
down the dictograph report, and I’ll
wager $100 he won’t sign an affida
vit it has been published in unex- ;
purgated form. Nothing ha® been
added, but some thing® 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.

EDESON’S LIFE fls! BALANCE.
LoS ANGELES. May 25 Robert Ede-
son. the actor, operated upon in a hos
pital here 'ri an effort to prevent threat
ened blood poisoning, to-day was still
in a serious condition.
Colonel Thomas B. Felder entered
into an explicit and detailed denial to
The Georgian of all the charges of
attempted bribery contained in the
affidavits signed b> C. C. Febuary,
secretary to Chief of Defectives Lan
ford, and A. S. Colyar, a private de
tective with a spectacular career.
Colonel Felder declared the alleged
dictograph record of conversation ho
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 ca9e 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, w r hy should they
desire to eliminate Burns and myself?
Burns has a reputation for landing
every criminal he goes after. He has
a reputation for being 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 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 w hich I was interested
any good, I certainly have not done it
any harm.
“So, 1 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 I am preparing, I will
show this conclusively. I will demon
strate it by the very conversation tha:
is alleged to have been reproduced Jn
the other 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- j
proved of me as an attorney to prose
cute the Phagan slayer, was extor.ted,
in my opinion. As a matter of fact. I
neyer 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 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 I was to probe
into the city’s graft conditions.
Will Expose CoTyar.
“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
grave doubt as to his credibility.
"I am acquainted with his move
ments w’hen he went into Mexico. I
know’ of the 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 w’ould believe a
word you had to say? If you've got
any papers that you think are w'orth
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 wdthin 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 towm. 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, 1
w^int to tell you you’ve got my sym
pathy,” said one of his friend . heart
