The next thing 1 knew I heard Prank’s whistle twice, just like this (imitating whistle). 1 went upstairs. The double doors were closed. Frank was standing at *he top of the steps. He said. 'I see you heard me. all right,' and 1 said 'Yes' '*Frank grabbed me by the arm verv tight and his hand was trem bling It was just like he was walk ing down the street with a lady. He carried me through the fli&i office into his private office, came back rind shut the door into the outer office. Then lie came back to where 1 was. He didn't say anything but grabbed up a box of sulphur matches and went into the outer office. When ne came back he pulled out a round chair. • He brought the chair for me to sit in. Then he closed the door and asked me to address a letter ‘Dear Brother. Then he asked me to write some things for him. I don’t remember all of it. but 1 remember one of them was this: That long tall black negro did it bv hlsself I wrote these things at his dictation. Then Mr. Frank patted me on the back and said that I was a good boy. Then he handed me a box of cigarettes and I took them 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 ;!ia: he left the factory between five and ten minutes after 1 o’clock, went back to Peters Street and then went home. Chief Lanford read the above which he said was about half of the aftida- vii The chief said that he had only given out the unimportant details, ’caving it to be inferred that Conley hud given vital evidence. Harry Scott intimated that the ne- gio's affidavit Wednesday morning had practically cleared the mystery a/id was the most important bit of evidence in the hands of the State. At 2:45 o'clock the negro was taken into the chief’s office for another sweating. Admission that he was tn the Na tional Pencil factory on the day of the murder of Mary Phngan was gained from Conley, after crow-ex amination by detectives at police headquarter*. The negro, who la came the center of attention with his amazing story that Leo Frank had told him to write the 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 at which the admission was obtained, declared he was sure it was only a matter of hours before Conley would confess. He asserted that If he had been allowed to put questions to Conley he could hare gotten Impor tant information. The police questions were, of course, all put with the idea of gaining in formation against Frank. Chief I^anford had announced that he would go before Judge Roan with a request for an order allowing him to confront Frank with the negro, so that Conley’s statement would be ad missible in court. Hanford, 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 doubtful, as of course, Frank could not be compelled to answer any questions. Refuse to Admit Suspicion. The police refused to admit that suspicion was turning or should be turned to Conley, who 1ms told one falsehood after another since his ar rest. They tried resolutely to con strue ever*, 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 deviated 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 •>" transposed as in the notes. What all this shows, in view of the fact that the same officials had an nounced that the> had conclusive evidence by ’’experts" and that Frank wrote the notes, is not plain Conley was also confronted bv General Foreman N. V. Darley in the presence of Detectives Black/ Scott and Lanford and the negro made Im portant admissions that will no doubt force him to admit his guilt. Conley admitted that he sat at the elevator shaft on the first floor it 12:80 on the afternoon of the murder and saw Darley in company with Miss Smith descend the stairs. Conley described Miss Smith as wearing a raincoat and Darley with his coat on with no hat. Darley stated that both descriptions were absolutely cor rect in every particular. Strange to say. neither Darley nor Miss Smith saw the negro, for he was seated in the shadow of the steps and never made a sound. Conley said that after Darley came down stairs with Miss Smith le walked to the door with her and then returned and ascended the stairs. Thi- Darley says is true. Shortly after this Mrs Albert White went Into the factory to sec her husband and get some money to bu> a dress. Her husband. Albert White, was at work on the fourth floor with the assistant foreman and machinsl. Harry Denham.

"During my service I have felt very much cramped in getting out depart ment bulletins and publications."

The weapon was seen to have be^n close to th~ positions an here the bodies were discovered. Slam as They Left Beds. That the women had left their be Is before they met their deaths was an other conclusion drawn by Sheriff McCurdy. The bodies lay in the cen ter of the floor v.hile the iron frames of the beds were over in a corner ..f the room. The door to the room was open. Its half demolished frame atill stands in the ruin.*. Just outside the door the hoe war found. Sheilff McCurdy’s theory is that the murderer fled through the dour, casting the hoe with which he had slain the women in the hall. Thai the plan to set fire to the house and burn the bodies to hkie the crime came as a second thought. The house was about 50 yards from the road in n clump of trees. It in a lonely spot and the nearest neighbor Is beyond earshot. That the screams of the women would not have been heard Is saYe to conclude. Girl's Skull Crushed. Another development that tends to show r 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 hud been used, striking with such force as to cleave the bone. The positions of the bodies in the 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 just three feet from the door way. Directly behind this lay the body of NftUle st. • ns. It is thought that Mrs. Stevens, when she took up the shotguif and started toward the door at the sound of the intruder, was followed by her daughter. When tire older woman opened the door. Nellie was directly behind her. The murderer, then, if he stood juat without the doorway, with hoe in hand, struck Mr*, s':even,s fits'. U’itij \ix second blow* he felled the girl behind her. Open Knife 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 knlf*' was found under the girl's body'. That the door was open at the time the women met their deaths was es tablished b\ 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 1 was driving by, I hastened up. At first 1 did not sus pect that anybody was dead. Finds Two Bodies. "I looked about in the ruins, how ever, and soon discovered through the smoke what looked to be a body. 1 walked through the ashes to the spot, i and sure enough there was a human form. I looked about and soon found 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. t’owan and telephoned the police. Cowan and 1 iain. back and together we hunte'J over the ruins until the police came.

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 around 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 witness for the Colonel In Roosevelt’s $10,000 libel suit against Geofge Newett, editor of The Ishpeming Iron Ore. "Did you seriously mean that there was danger'of war with Japan during ■Roosevelt's administration'.’" (tskeil Attorney Belden, who was cross-ex amining O’Laughlin. "There was very serious danger," replied the witness. Settled Question "Right." "Colonel Roosevelt met that danger. "Obviously Japan would not start with a fleet in the.Pacific waters. We settled the immigration question right then." The witness emphasized tne 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 the admitting of lestimon> concerning published reports about Colonel* Rooecvelts drinking. Attorney Bel den said that the defense wished to show that reports that Roosevelt drank were general in 1912 •Did Not Deny Reports.’ • v\> 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 this* country, and if reports of his drinking have been so common as we shall show, he could not bo dam aged in any :*um by the publication of such a report in a little country paper. The question of Roosevelt’s repu tation is vital in this ease—his repu tation in Marquette County, in this countrv and in the civilized world.

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 Bcnschoten, addressing the court. "Newspapers, however, do not always tell the truth jand reports can not be admitted un iless it is first shown that Mr. Newett j had read the newspaper or heard the | report in question. If Mr. Newett takes the stand and swears he had .d or read such reports and be lieved them to be true, they would be come pertinent." Scores Defense’s Str.nd. "The result of the contention of Mr. Belden." said Attorney Pound, "would be that a reputation as pure as that of St. Paul could be blasted by a lot of irresponsible gossip mon 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 atfimi- 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 >r lack of malice of the published can by no means mitigate actual dam ages." Judge P'lannagan interrupted to say: "Counsel will please confine himself to the two questions here at issue, which are: State’s Points at Issue. • \lay 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 for libel for claiming that the King was j a bigamist because, while prince, he ! married a daughter of an admiral of the fleet before he married Queen Mary.

The court held it would not.” At this point Judge Flannagan ad- | journed court until 2 p. m.
