DECLARES
FATHER
Son, Held by Chattanooga Police,
Was in That City When the
Bodies Were Found.
“Red” Merchant, companion of
Wade Stevens, was arrested at
Chattanooga by Detective John
Blaok shortly after he took the
Stevens boy into custody. Black
will leave Chattanooga with the
two prisoners at 8 o’clock this
.evening over the Southern Rail
way, according to a message to
Chief Beavers. Other dispatches
received say Black and the two
boys have already left.
I Wade Stevens, son of William Ste-
r v»ns, whose wife and daughter were
murdered and whose bodies were
found in the charred ruins of their
home, seven miles southeast of At
lanta, was arrested in Chattanooga at
noon to-day. The DeKalb County
Coroner's Jury had recommended that
/.he young man be arrested and held
for investigation.
The Governor to-day offered a re
ward of $200 for the arrest of the
slayer.
At almost the precise minute when
Wade Stevens was arrested in Chat-
■tanooga, William Stevens, his father,
ihaving Just arrived in Atlanta, made
a statement to The Georgian com
pletely exonerating the boy. The elder
Stevens said his landlady, who knew
Wade, had seen him in Chattanooga
early Wednesday morning. This was
Just about the time the crime was
discovered and only a few hours after
its Commission.
Detective John R. Black, of Atlan
ta, who was in Chattanooga attend
ing the reunion, arrested young Ste
vens in the reunion city. He wired
Chief of Police Beavers and was told
to hold the young man, pending ar
rival of requisition papers.
Chief of Police Beavers then an
nounced he would confer with Sheriff
McCurdy, of DeKalb County, before
taking further steps.
Sheriff McCurdy later asked that
Black bring the boy back, and Chief
Beavers wired the detective to that
effect. The police point out that if
the boy took the 8 o'clock train Tues
day night to Chattanooga he, of
course, Is eliminated from the case.
Father Brokenhearted.
The father of the boy, a 70-year-
old Confederate veteran, was heart
broken when he arrived in Atlanta at
10:60 o’clock this morning and heard
for the first time of the double trag
edy.
Stevens left Chattanooga at 3
o’clock this morning, but the train
mi delayed en route. Several friends
vJInt to the JJnion Depot to meet him,
but he came from a rear car and left
the station without meeting them.
The only information given him in
Chattanooga was that his house had
burned. Leaving the depot here, he
went direct to the office of Carson &
■Treadwell, who handled his wife’s real
estate, where he learned all the de
tails.
One of the firm of Carson & Tread
well told him of the double murder,
and that his son, Wade Stevens, was
wanted for investigation. The old
veteran was dumfounded. He sank
in a chair and remained silent for
several minutes, then dramatically
expressed belief in the innocence of
his son and declared he would spend
the remainder of his days hunting the
slayer.
Declares Boy Is Innocent.
“All I have to live for now is to try
to catch the murderer," he said. 'Til
spend the rest of my days hunting
him.’’
While in Chattanooga Stevens
boarded at 166 Rossville Avenue. His
son by a former marriage, Ed Ste
vens, also boarded there. The miss
ing son, Wade Stevens, had stopped
there previously and is well known to
the landlady, who said she saw him in
front of her home at 6 o’clock Wed
nesday morning.
“I believe my boy Is innocent of
this murder,” said Mr. Stevens. “He
was bad at times, but he never could
have stooped so low as to murder his
own mother and sister. He knows
nothing about it yet.
”1 know he had nothing to do with

The Interrupted
Joy Ride; or, Wifey
Was Under the Seat
MACON, GA., May 29.—A master
plumber, his pretty young wife and
his equally pretty stenographer were
the participants in a domestic dra
ma, with a comedy vein, this week.
The man, well known and well to
do, aroused his wife's. suspicions by
requesting a hurried supper Tuesday
night. When he declined to tell her
where he was going after supper her
suspicion was intensified.
When he departed in his automo
bile his wife was in the back tonneau
under a rug.
The auto went to the home of the
stenographer, who took the seat be
side her employer, and thus they sped
out Into the country. When five miles
out their conversation became so in
teresting that the wife could not con
ceal herself longer. Rising, she be
gan wielding a poker.
She severely beat her husband and
the pretty stenographer before the
machine wkb stopped and they
Jumped out.
On the return home the stenogra
pher occupied the rear seat and the
wife sat beside her crestfallen hus
band.
A divorce suit is expected.

ference with the street railway offi

THE WEATHER.
Forecast for Atlanta and
Georgia—Fair Thursday and
Friday.
James Conley, the negro gweep-
er at the National Pencil Factory
who has turned suspicion on him
self with a maze of contradictory
statements, was put through a
gruelling third degree examina
tion at police headquarters this
afternoon. Pinkerton Detective
Harry Scott said as the grilling
began before Chief Beavers and
Chief Lanford that he expected to
glean important information.
Scott had interviewed factory em
ployees and was convinced that
there were many things to be
cleared up before the negro’s sec
ond affidavit, on which the police
rely so much, could be accepted.
With the maze of contradictory
statements sweeping an avalanche of
suspicion upon the head of James
Conley, the negro sweeper, the potent
information was unearthed Thursday
that Detective William J. Burns per
sonally will take charge of the inves
tigation into the Mary Phagan mur
der case which his operatives have
been conducting.
Despite the published report that
the Burns operatives had withdrawn
from the case, and despite the pro
cedure of the State in prosecuting its
case against Leo M. Frank, the pencil
factory superintendent, the Burns In
vestigation will continue and from
now on be under the famous detec
tive’s direction.
This information came from De
tective C. W. Tobio. William J. Burns'
lieutenant, Thursday morning. It
tends to show' that Tobie, w'ho has
had charge of his agency’s investiga
tion here, does not consider the case
as closed.
Mr. Tobie went so far as to deny
emphatically the published interview
with him, (in which he was quoted as
declaring Frank to be the guilty man.
Takes Evidence to Burns.
"From the evidence so far devel
oped in the Phagan case, guilt is di
rected at Frank,” the detective said
with emphasis. "That was my state
ment. However. I was quoted as say
ing outright that Frank committed
the murder. That was not true.”
Mr. Tobie left Atlanta Thursday
afternoon. He carried with him the
evidence which he has* gathered dur
ing his two weeks’ probe of the case.
#He is going to New York. He will
meet Burns there and place his mate
rial into the noted detective’s hands.
From then on Detective Burns will
direct his operatives as to further
investigations to be outlined by him.
This information but proves an
other link in the chain of circum
stances which The Georgian ha.« con
sistently pointed out in serious in
crimination of Conley.
Negro Deeper in Suspicion.
With each cross-examination of the
negro by the police in their attempts
to secure more evidence against
Frank, Conley has only insnared him
self in guilt. His admitted falsehoods
in former affidavits tending to throw
the blame to Frank in connection
with the "murder" notes have been
accentuated as incriminating by the
unqualified declarations of employees
at the pencil factory that Conley Is
the guilty man.
Three responsible officials of the
plant have outlined plausible theories
as to how the negro could have com
mitted the crime. These men, Her
bert G. Sehiff, w'ho is assistant super
intendent; E. F. Holloway, timekeep
er, and N. V. Darley, general fore
man, are acquainted with Conley. Up
on their knowledge of him and the
opportunity offered for accomplishing
the murder they base their state
ments that he is guilty. They have
proven beyond a doubt that Conley
was in the factory for several hours
on the day of the murder, and con
necting with this the negro’s contra
dictory statements as to his where
abouts they have compiled a most
laudable explanation of how he killed
the Phagan girl.
The detectives still held firmly to

to tax gambling in "all products of
the soil, meats and provisions of all
kinds” out of existence will be In
corporated in the Underwood tariff
bill by the Senate.
The amendment becomes germane
to a tariff bill because it is designed,
ostensibly, to raise revenue. The tax
