Vital Evidence Kept Secret From this point the negro’s state ment was similar to the affidavit pub lished a few days ago. The negro said that he left the factory between five and ten minutes after I o’clock, went back to peters Street and then went home. chief Danfort] read the above which he said was about half of the affida vit. The eh 11 f said that he had only given out the unimportant details, leaving it to be inferred that Conley had given vital evidence. Harry Scott intimated that the ne- g.o's affidavit Wednesday morning had practically cleared the mystery and was the most Important hit of evidence in the hands of the State. At 2 Ci o’clock the negro was taken into the chief’s office for another sw eating. Admission that he was In the Na tional Pencil factory on the day of the murder of Mary Phagan was gained from Conley, after cross-ex amination by detectives at police headquarters. The negro, who became the center of attention with his amazing story tyat Leo Frank had told him to write tin* death notes, changed his narrative again to-day. Confronted by E. F Holloway, a foreman In the plant, he admitted having been in the factory after having steadily maintained that he was on Peters Street between 10 and 2 o'clock that fatal Saturday and at home all other hours- of the day. Says Confession Is Near. Holloway, after leaving the secret grilling ti which the admission was obtained, declared he was sure it was only a matter of hours before Conley w ouid i onitm 11• atm rted that 11 ii had been allowed to put questions* to Conley he could have gotten Impor tant information. The police questions were, of course, nil put with the idea of gaining in formation against Frank. Chief Lanford had announced that Ite would go before Judge Roan with a request for an order allowing him to confront Frank with the negro, so that Conle>'s statement would be ad missible in court. Lanford, however, failed to carry out his plans, although he would not admit they had been abandoned. Later Chief Beavers said that the plan to confront Frank with Conley would not be carried out to-day and that its wisdom was doubtfpl. as. of course, F rank could not be compelled to answer any questions. Refuse to Admit Suspicion, I’ll** police refused to admit that suspicion was turning o; should he turned to Conley, who has told one falsehood after another since his ar rest. They tried resolutely to con strue every one of his statements as against Frank and would not admit that the continued contradictions of the negro made his value as a wit ness next to nothing. The police declared that Conley had been asked to write the contents of the death notes and had spelled night watch” as it was in the note, “night wItch," and "self” with the ”1” and ”e” transposed as in the notes. What all this shows, in view of the fact that the same officials had an nounced tout they had conclusive evidence by 'experts” and that Frank w rote the notes, is not plain. <’oniey was also confronted by General Foreman N.

The house was about 50 yards from the road in a clump of trees. It is In a lonely spot and the nearest neighbor is beyond earshot. That the screams of the women would not have been heard is safe to conclude. Girl’s Skull Crushed. Another development that tends to show murder, came with the discov ery that the skull of Nellie Stevens had been fractured, also. A sharp crack across the top of the head showed possibility that a knifelike weapon had been used, striking with such force as to cleave the bone. Tlie positions of the bodies in thf ruins tend to bear this theory out —that the murderer had struck the girl with his hoe after crushing Mrs. Stevens' skull. Mrs. Stevens’ skull, it was shown, was crushed in by a blow directed at her from in front. Her body was found ju#t three feet from th« door way. Diroctly behind this lay th< body of Nellie Stevens. It is thought that Mrs. Stevens, when she took up the shotgun and! started toward the door at the sound of the Intruder, was followed by her daughter. When the older woman opened the door, Nellie was directly behind her. The murderer, then, if he stood just without the doorway, with hoe in hand, struck Mrs. Stevens first. With a second blow he felled the girl behind her. Open Knite Under Girl’s Body. The gun barrel was found close to the bodies of the women and the hoe was found out in the hallway'. An open knife was found under the girl's body'. That the door was open at the time the women met their deaths was es tablished by the fact that the door knob was discovered in the ashes in side the room. The door opened on the inside and, therefore, the knob would have fallen in the room if the door had been opened. The testimony of Nelms, the milk wagon driver, who was first on the scene, is considered of great impor tance in describing the positions of the bodies and the weapons found. Nelms Wednesday morning, in telling of the tragedy, said: “When I saw the smoking embers of the building, as I was driving by, I hastened up. At first I did not sus pect that anybody was dead. Finds Two Bodies. “I looked about in the ruins, how ever, and soon discovered througli the smoke what looked to be a body. 1 walked through the ashes to the spot, and sure enough there was a human form. I looked about and soon fougd another form. Both were charred and beyond recognition. "I didn’t wait to look further, but ran over to the next house, about 200 yards away, and got Mr. Cowan and telephoned the police. Cowan and 1 came back and together we hunted over the ruins until the police came. We found the shotgun, the iron part of the hoe just outside the room, the knife under the girl’s body and the doorknob. We didn't touch a thing, though.” With the arrival of Sheriff Mc Curdy came also Polic e Chief Beavers and Police Sergeant Whatley, of At lanta. Mr. Whatley is a brother of Mrs. Stevens. Excitement ran high ns crowds of persons from the surrounding country arrived at the scene Boy Had Quarreled. Mrs. L. G. Self’s statement to the police authorities regarding the visit of Nellie Stevens to her home with Wade Stevens’ clothing, directed sus picion to the boy. “Nellie came to my house in the late afternoon,” said Mrs. Self. “She carried a bundle of men’s clothing with her and asked me to keep the clothes that night. She said that her brother and her mother had had an altercation. "It seems that Wade wanted t6 leave home and his mother nod ob jected. From what Nellie' said, I un derstood that hot words had been passed. Nellie said that she had slipped out of the room quietly and bundled Wade's clothes and taken them away in order that the boy could not leave.” Saw Boy in Atlanta. Charles B. McWilliams. 483 Leggett Avenue. East Atlanta, declared Wed nesday afternoon that he had met Wade Stevens and another boy named "Red" Merchant at Five Points* at 8 o’clock Tuesday night. McWilliams said the boys expressed their intention of leaving the city that night—that they were going to catch a W. & A. train and go to Chatta nooga and Cincinnati. McWilliams said the boys were dressed in overalls and had no money. He declared that he accompanied them to the Terminal Station and waited there with them until fifteen minutes before their train was due to leave. Then he left them. Prowler Routed Two Weeks Ago. That an attempt was made to bur glarize the Stevens home two weeks ago was the statement made by a neighbor to Sheriff McCurdy. Tlie person said that Mrs. Stevens had told of hearing a noise in the rear of the house one night and that upon going out to investigate it, saw a man jump from the back porch to the ground and run off into the woods. Mrs. Stevens shot at the retreating form with the same gun which was found near her body in the ruins Police authorities place much impor tance in this information as a posai* ble clew to the murderer. Evidences that a horse had stood for some time Tuesday night about 50 yards from t'ne house were dis covered. Hoof prints were found where the animal had kicked- up the turf. Also traces of a person’s foot steps were discovered nearby, which, from the great distance they were apart, proved that the person was running. These footprints lead from the house towards the woods nearby and are so plain as to be easily fol lowed. Chief of Police Beavers sent th' following telegram to Fred W. Hill. Chief of Police at Chattanooga, carrying word of the tragedy to Wil liam Stevens, the husband and father of the murdered women: "Please locate William Stevens, care l r . C. V. Advise him that his house has been destroyed by fire and that his wife and daughter were | burned to death. Tell him to return J immediately.” ’I. R.

John Callan O’Laughlin, Washing ton correspondent for a Chicago newspaper, the first witness called, devoted the early part of his testi mony to answering questions relative to the intimacy of his friendship with the former President.

MICH., May 28. - That there was very serious danger of war with Japan during the admin istration of Theodore Roosevelt and that the Chief Executive met the danger and averted war by sending a fleet aiound the world was the state ment of John Callan O’Laughlin, a Washington correspondent of a Chi cago newspaper and a commissioner to the Tokio Exposition, appointed by President Roosevelt. O’Laughlin was a withess for the Colonel in Roosevelt’s $10,000 libel suit against George Newett, editor of The lshpeming Iron Ore. "Did you seriously mean that there was danger of war with Japan during Roosevelt’s administration?” asked Attorney Belrien. who was cross-ex amining O’Laughlin. “There was very serious danger," replied tlie witness. Settled Question "Right." "Colonel Roosevelt met that -danger. "Obviously Japan would not start with a fleet in thy Pacific waters. We settled the immigration question right then.” The witness emphasized the word "right.” O’Laughlin was asked by Attorney Belden if he had been an emissary to arrange for the reception of Roosevelt by the Pope and the King of Italy when the Colonel was in Rome. O’Laughlin said he had not. The jury was sent from the room while the attorneys argued on tlie admitting of testimony concerning published reports about Colonel Roo& , evelt’s drinking. Attorney Bel den said that the defense wished to show that reports that Roosevelt drank were general in 1912 "Did Not Deny Reports." "We shall show.” he said, "that this defendant heard those reports and that this, plaintiff did not deny them. Roosevelt has been the most talked of man in thi<> country, and if reports of his drinking have been so common as we shall show, he could not be dam aged in any sum by the publication of such a report in a little country paper "The question of Roosevelt’'s repu tation is vital in this case—his repu tation in Marquette County, in this country and in the civilized world. In the plaintiff’s bill, he assorts that his reputation for sobriety is well known throughout the 48 Statos of this coun try. and that his reputation for so briety was good before the publication of this article* by the defendant. Disclaims Any Malice. "Mr. Pound is an able lawyer. No Colonel Roosevelt and, at top. George Newett, who is being si*ed for libel; at triie bottom, Judge Fiannagan, who is presiding actual damages, which my be 6 cents or $60,000.” "That is correct,” said Mr. Pound. "Then.” said Attorney Belden, “in the absence of the demand for a re traction. no damages may be asked by way of punishment. But counsel has already charged malice to this jury and we can not eliminate these impressions from their minds. There fore, we have a right to show there was no malice and w r e purpose to of fer testimony of men of standing to show this general reputation. "Precedents are few', for men of Roosevelt’s standing and prominence have seldom brought such suits, but we have a somewhat parallel case in that of Dailey vs. Kalamazoo Pub lishing Company in the Supreme Court.” Cites Parallel Case. He then cited the case. Colonel Roosevelt held a whispered conference with Attorney Van Ben- schoten. "Mr. Belden and ourselves are not very far apart.” said Van Benschoten, addressing the court. "Newspapers, however, do not always tell the truth and reports can not be admitted un less it is first shown that Mr. Newett had read the newspaper or heard the report in question. If Mr. Newett takes the stand and swears he had j id or rend such reports and be lieved them to be true, they would be come pertinent.” Scores Defense’s Stand. "The result of the contention of Mr. Belden.” said Attorney Pound, Avould be that a reputation as pure as that of St. Paul could be blasted by a lot of irresponsible gossip mbn- gers. Counsel is not entitled to this testimony, anyhow. He can not miti gate and justify at the same time. The two things are incompatible. "The presumption of law, as your honor has said, is that the character of every man is all right. No affirm ative proof of character is required. The Supreme Court has also held that unless the truth of the published charges is proved the good faith or lack of malice of the published can by no means mitigate actual dam ages." Judge Fiannagan interrupted to say: "Counsel will please confine himself to the two questions here at issue, which are: State's Points at Issue. " May defense introduce evidence of reports and reputation to demon strate his good faith.’ " May defendant introduce evidence of reports and reputation by way of mitigating damages.’ ” "I shall so confine myself." said Mr. Pound. "I shall show your honor the King of England sued a newspaper far libel for claiming that the King was a bigamist because, while prince, he married a daughter of an admiral of the fleet before he married Queen Mary. “Would it have been a defense to say that defendant knew nothing of tom, he explained, to receive callers while he was being shaved each morning. Following the expiration of the Colonel’s term as President, the cor respondent continued, he met him at Khartoum upon his return to civili zation from Africa; accompanied him on .the greater part of his Continental tour, and upon his return to the Unit ed State? met him frequently until the New York campaign in 1910 and the swing around the country in 1912, when he was with the Colonel’s cam paign party. His testimony regard ing Roosevelt’s drinking follows: Denies Seeing Him Drunk. y. From that acquaintance what can you say as to whether or not you ever saw him under the influence of liquor? \. Not only have 1 never seen him un der the influence of liquor, but such a suggestion seems to me silly. Q. Ever see him drink?—A. 1 have seen him drink a small s*enj glass of champagne at dinners. He never drank more than . no glass. Q. What is the Gridiron Club?—A. An organization of newspaper men in Wash ington, organized to receive distin guished men. It gives two dinners a year. Q. Are there official dinners in Wash ingtonA. Four dinners and five recep tions given by the president are off.ciai Q. Is liquor served at these?—A. At the dinners—seldom at the receptions during Mr. Roosevelt’s term. A wordy skirmish between counsel on the two sides in the case, in which Judge Fiannagan entered, was caused by an objection to one of Attorney Pound’s questions. Judge Fiannagan ordered Attorney Pound to beg Attor ney Andrews’ pardon. The cross-ex- amiantion of O’Laughlin was by At torney Belden, chief counsel for Newett. Main Witness Faces Arrest. James Martin Miller, depended upon as the chief witness for the defense, will not Appear on the stand, it was learned to-day. Instead a deposition by him will be read to the jury. When it was announced that Mil ler would testify at the trial that Colonel Roosevelt was intoxicated at a dinner given for former Speaker Cannon, a telegram came to Mar quette requesting that Miller be ar rested and detained until an officer could arrive from New York, where a charge of grand larceny had been made against him. It was then announced that Mil ler’s deposition would be read in court, and that Miller would remain at his home in Minot. N. Dak. FREE, NEXT SUNDAY.
