another or turn Staten evidence.
When I heard <*f thi.° deal that Mr.
Felder was trying to make In the
Phayan case I told Chief Lanford to
confer with Solicitor Dorsey and *et
his advice in the matter, as 1 did
rot want anything: done that was not
perfectly legitimate.
"Ttfis he did. and G. < \ February,
who is a trusted man in the detective
department, was Instructed to carry
out the deal with him.
"It appears that Mr. Felder has
been associated with this man Col-
yar for a long time and certainly
should know’ whal manner of man hi
ts. If he knew him to be a crook,
why did he enter into a deal of this
sort with him, If he wanted to do
the straight thing?
"1 say I never heard of this man
CoTyar. but I would have listened to
any report or rumor in hunting for
the guilty party in a case like the
Phagan mystery. It seems that Mr.
Felder in his ramifications through
the press tried to get eloquent and at
tempted to tell about the Govern
ment of Scotland and the conditions
In Ireland, as if fhat had anything to
do with the case. He is simply try
ing to attract attention away from
what he has done.
“As for any evidence he claims to
haYe about my moral turpitude as
chief of police or as a citizen, I defy
him or any one else to show’ it. If
he is the good, loyal citizen that he
claims to be. why did he not lay this
evidence before the Police Commis
sion" He knows well enough that If
he had anything damaging to the
police department he would have
hurried to lay it before the proper
authorities.
Raps Woodward.
"I see that Mr. Woodward says
that he has nothing against me per
sonally. Now. I don’t quite under
stand his connection with the Felder-
Col.var affair. He knew that Feb

police department, and that if Feb

department Mr Woodward should

If Febuary had known anything
of the kind and not made it known,
he would have been equally guilty.
Mr Woodward knows that In h1s fre
quent talks with me since he has

“He gave me to understand in his

Mayor James G. Woodward Monday
gave out a sizzling Interview in reply
to Police Chief Beavers* accusations,
which he concluded with this state
ment :
‘ If Reavers and Lanford authorized
February, ‘a trusted man,’ to go out
and tell lies about corruption in the
department in an effort to trap some,
body, they are unworthy to hold the
places they occupy, and the sooner
they are put out the better It will he
for the police department and the
city.
“February has proved that he is not
fit to serve In the police department
in any capacity.”
Mayor Woodward, before beginning
his statement, said he wanted to make
it clear that he w’as vigorously op
posed to public controversies with
heads of departments. He said it was
not the way to run the city's business,
and but for Chief Beavers’ attack,
which misrepresented his position, he
would say nothing
Never Urged Reopening.
He said:
"I have never urged a reopening of
the Tenderloin to Beavers.
"1 told him it would be reopened as
a result of a public demand for the
Interests of society because of thy
scattered conditions of vice all over
the city.
“1 have never placed a straw in the
way of his vice crusade. When I have
called him to my office to talk to him
about it, it was to refer complaints to
him—complaints of had conditions i,
respectable sections.
"One day when he came to my office
1 referred io him a letter from a
mother of little children who sa 1
there was an immoral place near h.?r
lu>me and that she had written o
<*iief Beavers some ten days before
and nothing had resulted from it.
Explain* Eva Clark Affair.
“All l ever hoard from the case was
that the occupants of the had house
quieted down.
“The Kva Clark matter is very sim
ple. She called me over the tele
phone and said she. with her mother,
wanted to move into a house near th* 1
Grady Hospital and live respeetablv.
I laid the whole matter before Beavers
Just as she appealed to me.
“I have called Beavers to task only
with the view to netting him to clean
up the streets so this city will he safe
for respectable women.
"When February came to me with
a tale about being able to get evi
dence from the safe at the police
station which would prove that Beav
ers and Lanford were protecting dis
orderly houses and ‘blind tigers' I
knew it was either true or he was
lying, and I decided for the time be
ing to give him the benefit of the
doubt and investigate.
"If I had known that that visit to
the Williams House would be the
last time I would see him I would
have shown him up for the liar that
he is But in the interest of the pub
lic I decided to give him sufficient
leeway to get at the truth of the
graft charges.”
“Plenty of Room for Graft.”
Then he paid his respects to Beav
ers and I^anford for their part in the
plot.
“1 want to say it looks like there is
plenty of room for graft.” he con
tinued. “Where there is so much
smoke there must be some fire. And
I am just as anxious to get at the
truth as I was the day they thought
they were trapping me with a dicto
graph
“Eliminating Colyar and Felder. I
think the connection of the police
heads with this affair casts a dirty
reflection on them. It reveals them
as unfit."
Chairman Carlos H. Mason Mon
day declined to comment on the sit
uation. He said it might come before
the Police Commission and that he
would then have to act in the ca
pacity. but he did not believe the
commission would take it up. He did
not fail, however, to declare his con
fidence in the integrity of the heads
of the police department and to say
he thought the department was clean.

POLICE a* OUSE
AGAINST FRANK
IS COMPLETE
Negro Lee Will Not Be Indicted,
but Will Be Used as
State Witness.
Continued From Page 1.
I hut felt sure the State would be abl<*
to convict Frank.
I He added:
"With the evidence we now have
we could convict Frank, with a rec
ommendation to mercy, in ten min
utes. This would mean a life term
It is going to be difficult in this case
to impose the extreme penalty of the
law, as so many people are opposed
to capital punishment on circumstan-
jiial evidence. The slaying of Mary
| Phagan. however, wa** straight mur
der or nothing, and the State will de
mand the limit.
"While the evidence Is purely cir
cuitistantial. still 1’rn satisfied it Is
strong enough to thoroughly convince
any Jury."
The confession of Jim Conley, the
negro factory sweeper, that, from dic
tation by Frank, he wrote the mys
terious notes found beside the dead
body of Mary Phagan in the factory
basement, has added an unexpected
phase to the case, and brought about
much .“peculation. Detectives admit
that they are skeptical of the negro’s
confession, as they are unable to rec
oncile it with other circumstances.
Was Slaying Planned?
If his story is true, detectives say il
means that the murder was premed
itated and planned, as he declares the
notes were written the afternoon be
fore the tragedy. The accepted theory
Is* that the murder was not planned,
but resulted from unexpected condi
tions at the time.
Conley sticks to his confession. He
told a Georgian reporter that he con
fessed because he considered it safer
for him. that he feared if he didn’t te|i
the truth he might be hanged. He
will be put through another rigid ex
amination in the office of detectives
Monday as a test of his truthfulness.
He also will be shown the original
murder notes for the purpose of iden
tification. He has not seen these notes
since his arrest three weeks ago
Just what bearing the negro’s story
will have on the case officers are not
prepared to say.
Chief of Detectives Lanford Mon
day afternoon declared his belief that
the confession of James Connally, the
negro sweeper, that he wrote the
murder notes at the dictation of
Frank, is absolutely false in every de.
tail. He said he attached no impor
tance whatever to the confession.
The lines on which the S’ate will
seek the conviction of Frank were
carefully mapped out in a three-hour
conference between Solicitor Dorsey
and Chief Lanford the latter part of
last week. The number of witnesses
to be introduced, the order in which
they will he called, and all other
essential details were agreed on.
Contention* of State.
The contention of the State, briefly
outlined, will be this:
First. That the murder of Mary
Phagan was an “inside Job;” that
it was committed inside the fac
tory, and by a person connected
with the place.
Second. That Leo M Frank, in
struggling with the girl, accident
ally forced her against a machine,
knocking her unconscious, and.
fearing exposure, killed the girl
by strangulation, and hid her
body in the basement, where It
was found by Newt Lee, the night
watchman
Third. Mary Phagan had work
ed but one day, Monday, 1n the
week of the tragedy, and w’as not
notified that the employees would
receive their money Friday after
noon and that the factory would
be closed Saturday, on account of
Memorial Day; that she went to
the factory alone at noon Satur
day to get her money’, finding
Frank alone in the office. She
asked Frank if the metal had ar
rived. She worked in the metal
department and had been laid off
because of the lack of material.
Frank, the State will claim, prob
ably enticed the girl back into the
factory by remarking that they
would go back and see if the
metal bad come.
Fourth. That Frank had or
dered Newt Lee to report for duty
at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and
that when Lee arrived at the fac
tory Frank told him to go away
and have a gold time and return
at 6 o’clock. Frank appeared ner
vous and agitated and was wring
ing his hands. After the negro
left. Frank removed the girl and
carried her down on the elevator.
The girl revived after being taken
from the closet, and Frank stran
gled her with a piece of twine,
which probably he had used in
binding her ha ids or feet in order
that he might carry her more
easily.
Negro Not Accomplice.
Ftftn. That Frank left the fac
tory shortly after 6 o'clock, and
that he called Newt I^ee over the
telephone shortly afterw ards, ask
ing if everything was all right—
a thing he had never done before.
Sixth That Newt Lee had ab
solutely no connection with the
crime further than the finding of
the body at 3:30 o’clock Sunday
morning.
Seventh. Tha Monteen Stover,
of 175 South Forsyth Street, a
girl employee, called for her
money shortly after 12 o’clock on
Saturday and found Frank out of
the office. She waited ten min
utes and left.
Evidence, which has not been dis
closed. \ : ll be presented to strengthen
these poirts.
From what has been made public,
it plaid the State has only circum
stantial evidence—and little of that
bearing directly < n the crime.

Broyles’ Reply to
Thrust of Mayor
Judge Broyles said to-day:
“The Mayor calls me a mono
maniac because I believe firmly
and uncompromisingly in sup
pressing crime and upholding the
law. I believe that the lawless
ness in Atlanta, in Georgia and In
our whole country make a very
serious situation—a situation only
a few steps removed from anurchv
—for the law is the only protection
that organized society has against
riot, murder and anarchy, and un
less it is firmly enforced by the
judges and juries of our country
crime will increase instead of di
minish.
"America is now the most lawless
country in the world, and unless
we can check the wave of crime
that is sweeping over us anarchy
will soon be among us.
“If these views make me a mon
omaniac. then I accept the title.”

ATTEMPTS TO
Police Board Minority as Anxious
to Overthrow Chairman as
Beavers and Lanford.
Well informed politicians declared
Monday that any efforts to remove
Chief of Police Beavers and Chief of
Detectives Newport Lanford were
doomed to failure because of the sup
port of the two officers by Carlos Ma
son. chairman of the Police Board,
and his supporters.
Despite rumors of changes of line
up on account of developments of the
last few days, all indications are that,
if the issue of removing Beavers and
Lanford is made, the relative strength
of the two old factions will remain
constant, as follows:
How Board Lines Up.
For Beavers and Lanford—Chair
man Carlos H. Mason, First Ward;
W. P. Fain, Second Ward; W. A. Ver-
noy. Third Ward; B. Lee Smith,
Fourth Ward; Charles R. Garner,
Fifth Ward: J. N. McEachern, Sev
enth Ward; A. R. King. Ninth Ward,
and Graham P. Dozier. Tenth Ward.
Total, 8.
Against Beavers and Lanford —
Mayor Woodward; George E. Johnson,
Sixth Ward, and Robert C. Clark,
Eighth Ward.
Doubtful—A. R. Colcord, chairman
of the Council Police Committee.
The most illuminating fact in the
whole situation is that the minority
in the Police Commission is as desir
ous of overthrowing the Mason faction
as it is of ousting Beavers. However,
a number of members of the commis
sion were laying for Lanford’s scalp
long before Beavers was made chief.
Echoes of this opposition are con
stantly heard in the Council Finance
Committee when efforts are made to
secure increases in salaries for the
detectives.
Police Ring Charged.
So intense are the feelings of the
Mayor that he has announced he
would oppose any effort of the Mason
men to remove Beavers. If the Mason
faction should start any reforms in
the police department, which they are
not at all likely to do—for Chairman
Mason reiterates his confidence in his
men and declares he thinks the
charges of crookedness false—Mayor
Woodward and his followers likely
would oppose them They charge the
police department is being run by a
“ring
The Mayor and his followers see a
slight hope of victory through the
fight over Beavers' authority to name
men for promotion. Privately, they
charged that the Mason faction was
dictating Beavers' nominations, and
when the vote was taken Commission
ers Yernoy and Garner Joined them.
The result was a tie vote, and the
issue has not yet been decided. But
the general opinion is the change is
not very significant-
Pencil Factory Owners Told Him
Not to Shield Superintend
ent, Scott Declares.
Harry Scott, assistant superintend
ent of the Pinkertons, announced
Monday his belief that L.eo M. Frank
was responsible for the slaying of
14-year-old Mary Phagan April 26.
He added that his agency had been
working on this theory from the time
its services were engaged by officials
of the National Pencil Company, tw'o
days after the crime.
Scott previously had said the Pink
ertons were on the case to find the
guilty man. even though it might be
Frank. His latest statement is be
lieved to have been prompted by the
attack on the Pinkertons by Colonel
Thomas B. Felder.
Mr. Scott declared he not only be
lieved Frank responsible for the kill
ing. but that he proposed to lay his
evidence before the court and assist
in the prosecution of the factory su
perintendent. He is in possession, he
said, of considerable evidence which
has not been made public.
Soon after the Investigation was
undertaken. Scott says he went to the
men employing him and asked if he
was supposed to protect Frank. He
said if lie was he would have to throw
up the job. He was told, he said, that
he had been engaged to find the guilty
man, whoever he might be. Tt was on
this assurance tne Pinkertons con
tinued the investigation, according to
Scott.
Mayor Woodward Monday retal
iated for Recorder Nash R. Broyles’
attack that he was blocking justice,
by pardoning Dr. W. D. Roper, pro
prietor of a drug store at the corner
of Pryor and Wall Streets, who had
been convicted of operating a “blind
tiger” and sentenced to 30 days in the
stockade. Roper was given the pref
erence of paying $500. but Saturday
he began the service of his term in
the city prison.
Recorder Broyles’ judgment on
Roper w’as sustained by the Court of
Appeals about two months ago. The
doctor appealed to Mayor Woodw’ard
for a pardon, and Mayor Woodward
requested Chief Beavers to take no
action until the case could be thor
oughly investigated. Chief Beavers
complied and Roper w T as free without
any action being taken in his case
until Saturday, when Recorder
Broyles ordered him arrested and his
sentence imposed.
See* Lack of Evidence.
“I am not seeking any row with
Recorder Broyles,” said Mayor Wood
ward. ”1 am pardoning Dr. Roper
because I don’t think there is suffi
cient evidence against him. He was
convicted on circumstantial evidence,
principally because a number of
whisky bottles were found in the
basement of his store.”
The pardoning row' between Re
corder Broyles and Mayor Woodward
threatens to become even more acute
over the case of Mattie Lou White,
who has been convicted of selling
whisky and disorderly conduct and
sentenced to pay a fine of $500 or
serve 30 days in the stockade. The
Recorder’s decision in this case was
sustained by the Court of Appeals.
The woman is walking the streets
free with a letter from Mayor Wood
ward, dated May 7, instructing po
licemen not to molest her until he has
had time to go fully into her applica
tion for clemency.
To Take Similar Action.
“I expect to take the same course
in the White case that I took in the |
Roper case,” said Recorder Broyles |
Monday. “I am going to order her !
arrest unless the Mayor acts within i
the next few days.
“Probably I should act to-day, but I
am going to give full time for the
Mayor and myself to think deliber- |
atelv over this matter.
“The Mayor hap a right to exercise
the pardoning power over sentences
of 30 days and fines of $50 and over.
But he has got to act in these mat- |
ters and make written records of his
Interpositions. These people can’t
walk the streets free merely on his
advice.”
Broyle* Made Charges.
These official acts of Atlanta’s two
prominent officials follow a severe de
nunciation of Mayor Woodward by
| Recorder Broyles, which was pub
lished Friday. He declared that the
Mayor was blocking justice, practi
cally immunizing "blind tigers” from
punishment and seriously interfering
with himself and the police in their
efforts to keep Atlanta moral.
Mayor Woodward declared Monday
that he was doing all he could to
evade a newspaper controversy. He
said it was* decidedly improper for
city officials to try to settle their dif
ferences in such a way. While his
acts are defiant of the Recorder and
the police, he mildly says he is merely
doing his duty as he sees it.
"I have nothing to say about Beav
ers’ statement published yesterday.
He did not attack me. If he thinks I
am after him he is mistaken.
"His attitude in this whole matter
1s a joke. It is unimportant."
That the local police authorities are
| tracing the past record of C. W.
Tobie, the Burns operative investigat-
! ing the Phagan case, came definitely
| into light Monday morning when
| Police Chief Beavers received a tele-
fram from the Chief of Police of To
peka, Kans., regarding the detective.
The telegram was in answer to on*
sent by Beavers some days ago to
Topeka asking fo-- Tobie’s police rec
ord there. The answer stated that
while Tobie had been involved in a
kidnaping case in Topeka, that he
had never been convicted on this
score. The telegram read:
Topeka, Kans., May 26. 1913.
Chief of Police, Atlanta, Ga.:
Tobie tried to kidnap incubator
baby at Sedan. Kansas, but failed,
being employed by Detective Til-
lotson. Subsequently. Tillotson
kidnaped the child at Topeka
and was convicted, but Tobie was
not convicted of the Topeka kid
naping J. W. F. HUGHES.
Chief of Police.
Burns Men Going Ahead.
Tobie said Monday that recent sen
sational developments in the Mary
Phagan murder case, involving
charges of frame-ups by and against
the Burns agency, would have no ef
fect whatever on the agency’s Inves
tigations or the coming of W. J«
Burns himself to Atlanta.
‘We are going right ahead, Just as
if these things had not happened,’*
said Tobie.
Tobie .said W. J. Burns was not dua
to arrive in America until June L
Recent developments, he repeated,
would not influence one way or the
other his proposed coming to Atlanta*
Telegraphic information was re
ceived from New York that Raymond
Burns, son of the great detective, was
on his way to Atlanta. Tobie said
this afternoon that Raymond was in
New’ York, afid that he knew nothing
of his contemplated or intended com
ing to Atlanta.
Following publication of newspaper
articles in which Tobie said Pinker
ton detectives were involved in a
frame-up against the Burns agency,
the Atlanta branch of the Pinkerton
National Detective Agency has sent
The Georgian a written denial. The
denial applies also to similar charges
voiced by Colonel Thomas B. Felder.
Pinkerton Makes Denial.
Allan Pinkerton, who signs the de
nial. says, in part: ) t *
"These statements, in so far as they*
refer to Pinkerton’s National Detec
tive Agency, are absolutely without
an iota of truth, as Pinkerton’s Na
tional Detective Agency had absolute
ly no previous knowledge or Inform i-
tion concerning or pertaining to the
issue between certain Atlanta city of
ficials and Attorney-at-Law' Thomas
B* Felder.”
L>an S. Lehon. general superintend-*
ent of all Southern agencies of the
Burns detective service, stationed in
New Orleans, spent Sunday and Mon
day in Atlanta. Hi;* arrival gave
currency to repor's that the Burns
force in Atlanta had been strength
ened for completion of their w*ork on
the Mary Phagan murder case, bit
Tobie said Lehon merely stopped over
to visit him. He was on hls way to
another city. Tobie said, and his stav
in Atlanta had no connection with tha
Phagan investigation.
