2 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, ME OF LIES 8! Iff CIO MYSTERY ’olice, Despite Conflicting Affida vits, Call Him Strong Wit ness Against Frank. Continued From Page 1. ^ their theory that the negro was the most important witness against Leo M. Frank, in the face of the contra dictory stories and lies in which he hod been trapped. They were strongly disposed to give full credence to Conley’s second affi davit, although the negro's midden anxiety to talk after three weeks of silence and the maze of falsehood in which he was at once involved served suddenly to shift the responsibility for Mary Phagan’s death from Leo Frank to the sullen black man, in the Judgment of many who have been fol lowing the evidence closely. Chief Lanford and Detective Harry Scott, of the Pinkertons, announced Thursday morning, however, that they regarded the second affidavit of Con ley aa the final and conclusive piece of evidence needed in preparing a case against Frank. Rejected First Affidavit. Others who have weighed the evi dence carefully declare there are many more significant indications that Conley was the slayer than there are reasons to believe that Frank is guilty. The detectives rejected the first af fidavit of Conley, in which he said Frank dictated Friday the notes that were found by the body of the slain glri Sunday morning on the ground that it was absurd and unbelievable to hold the theory that the murder was premeditated. Yet they accept the second af fidavit, which indicatesidentically the same thing, in that Frank met Conley at Nelson and For syth Streets before 11 o’clock Saturday morning, April 26, be fore the crime was committed, and told the negro to wait for him, later taking Conley to the factory with him, where Conley says that he wrote the notes at Frank’s direction. * The negro in his second affidavit suggests no other motive that could have impelled Frank to ask him to come to the factory shortly before noon on Saturday. Conley says that Frank told him to wait secreted on the first floor until he heard a whistle. When he heard the whistle he says he went upstairs and Frank dictated the notes. Why Many Suspect Conley. All of this is inescapably sugg?s- tive of premeditation on the part cf Frank, if Conley’s story is to be be lieved, but the theory of premedita tion has been scoffed at by everyone, including Chief Lanford and Harry Scott. In fact, it never seriously was con sidered by anyone, say those who are inclined to believe the evidence against Conley greatly outweighs that against Frank. The assertion is free ly made that it would be far easier to convict Conley, if the police were so disposed, than it will be to convict Frank. Here are a few reasons ad vanced : When the factory superintendent was permitted to go before the Coro ner’s Jur> by his attorney, he an swered all the questions in a straight forward. unwavering manner, never once being trapped in a lie or mis statement. In marked contrast Is the conduct of Conley ever since his arrest at the time of the inquest three weeks ago.

He was taken into custody and gave his address as 92 Tattnall Street. Investigation disclosed that Conley was lying and that he had not lived on Tattnall Street for months, his ac tual residence being 172 Rhodes Street. . . , He was asked to write, and he told the officers he could not write a word. He refused to be inveigled into mak ing an attempt at handwriting of any sort. He would not put a pencil to paper that the detectives might get a specimen of his penmanship, lor a long time they believed he was so Ignorant he could not write his own name, Then they found some leases he had signed for watches and knew that he had been lying again. Just as the Grand Jury was about to sit and it appeared likely that Frank would be indicted, the negro broke his silence for the first time. He told the detectives that it "’as who had written the notes, but that he had written them at Frank s dicta tion on Friday, April 25. Frank had approached him in an aisle at the factory and had asked him to come into the office, he said. He remem bered that It was four minutes before That he had been at the factmr Saturday he denied emphatically.

He had kept it a most profounJ secret up to the time It was gouged 0 f w( n i by the detectives. He weakened further and admitted that he had been hiding down on the first floor as persons went in and out He described practically every per- son thaT entered or left the factory between 12 and 1 o clock. Hut npae dared that he did not see Mar\ l ha- gan when she came in the building Out of all who entered or left, the murdered girl and Lemtnie Quinn ap pear to be the only ones he missed seeing, according to his story. He explained this by saying t he must have fallen asleep for a lit tle while, lie saw Miss Lorinthia Hall and Mrs. Freeman leave a few min utes before 1 o'clock, hut did not see Mary Phagan enter about five min utes after the hour. Neither d d he see Lemmle Quinn, who is said to have been at the factory about 12.16. If the negro’s final affidavit is taken as nearer the probable truth than his first those who are acquainted with Frank are of the opinion that there are still most important questions to be answered convincingly. They are these, assuming that Frank is guilty.

Felder and others will be placed before the Fulton Coun ty Grand Jury by police officials, was the indication when G. C. February, secretary of Chief of Detectives Lan ford, and the person alleged to have been offered $1,000 ih bribe money, secured a subpena Thursday after noon for A. S. Colyar, Jr., to appear before Solicitor General Dorsey and give testimony Friday morning. The subpena formally summoned Colyar, who was the author of the dictographlng of Felder and Mayor Woodward, to appear before the Grand Jury. The preliminary hearing,- however, will be in Solicitor Dorsey’s office. That February carried away with him a number of subpena blanks is taken to mean that others will be called upon to testify. At the hearing of testimony Friday morning it is believed that Lanford and Police Chief Beavers will endeav or to show Solicitor Dorsey the plausibility of their bribery charges and ask that the matter be placed before the Grand Jury. In line with this action, Chief Beavers (Tailed upon Carl Hutcheson, the attorney, agaii Thursday morn ing for the list of “protected disor derly houses" which Hutcheson de clared he held, and which Hutcheson said he would reveal in an effort to prove that vice under police protec tion is rife in Atlanta. Hutcheson three days ago. in an swer to Beavers* defl, declared that he would give the police official the list on Thursday. On that day, how ever. Hutcheson stated the list was not yet prepared. He informed Beav ers he would have it ready, though, within a short time. Colyar was formally released Thurs day of the $1,000 bonds under which he was given his liberty following forgery charges made against him by a Knoxville, Tenn., woman. Colyar’s release followed the failure of the Knoxville police authorities to send a man to Atlanta to take him hack at the time specified by Police Chief Beavers.

"Yesterday afternoon the landlady told me the house had burned down She knew Wade, and she told me she saw him in front of her house yester day morning, wearing overalls Just as when he is said to have left home. Twp boys were with him, but they didn't go in the house. Wade was in Chattanooga when my wife and daughter were murdered, and he couldn’t have done it.” Goes to See Ruins. Leaving Carson & Treadwell’s of fice, Mr. Stevens said he was going to the ruins of his home. He first visited the Patterson undertaking es tablishment and arranged for the fu neral of his wife and daughter. Both bodies ^ill be taken to Meansville, Ga., at 4 o’clock Friday morning, to be buried in the family lot, where Mrs. Stevens’ father and mother both have been interred in the last two years. Lonnie Blevins, 17 years old. who says he left San Francisco for Tampa and from there came to Atlanta, is held at police headquarters to-day. He said he arrived in Atlanta last Friday. He was detained because he could not give a connected story. The police attach little significance to his arrest or his presence in Atlanta. Tells of Attempted Attack. An important clew, given Sheriff J. A. McCurdy, of DeKalb County, who is in charge of the investigation, was (revealed in the statement of a neigh bor to the effect that a Mexican half- breed, formerly employed by Mrs Stevens, had attempted to attack Nellie Stevens some time ago. ,This declaration waa made by Mis< Josephine McCaulay, 790 Glenn wood Avenue, an intimate friend of both the slain mother and daughter. Miss McCaulay said that only a few days ago Mrs. Stevens had told her of shooting at the discharged halfbreed when he appeared at the country home. Mrs. Stevens had said that she fired twice at the man, and that 'he escaped into the clump of woods adjoining the bouse. Sheriff McCur dy has ordered a country-w r ide search made for the halfbreed. Discovery Wednesday morning that Mr. Stevens had purchased an axe some days ago offers a possible clew to the weapon used by the murderer in ( rushing the skulls of his victims. The axe is, so far, missing, though the ruins of the burned dwelling and surrounding vicinity have been care fully searched for it. Ax Apparently Used. The sharpf knifelike cut across the top of Nellie Htevens’ skull seems to bear out the theory that the murderer used the ax to slay his victims. Possibility that the weapon used by the murderer was thrown into the well near the house has lead Sheriff McCurdy to order the well dragged. Atlanta police and detective offi cials have joined with the DeKalb force to solve the mystery. Detective Chief Lanford assigned Mounted Po liceman Hamilton, who was a close friend of the Stevens family, and Detective Rosser to work on the case. Sheriff McCurdy obtained this re inforcement Thursday morning when he held a conference with Lanford. A unique incident of the blaze which burned the Stevens home to ashes was revealed in the finding of fifty-seven chickens dead in a coop fifty feet away. The coop was not even scorched by the heat. That robbery was the motive of the murderer has been established by the disappearance of Jewelry and a large quantity of money which Mrs. Stev ens was known to have had in the house at the time. Woman’s Jewels Missing. Neighbors stated that Mrs. Stevens possessed a diamond ring valued at $400 and two gold watches. These are missing. Coupled with other theories as to the murder is one which shows the work that of two negroes who were said to have been seen driving away from the burning home at sunrise Wednesday morning. The men rode in a one-horse wagon, the body of which was filled with oats. Tracks of the horse were found on a spot near the ruins. In the immediate vicinity was discovered a small pile of fresh oats. Human footprints were found nearby. Despite the assertion that the ne groes drove away. Sheriff McCurdy’s men made a careful search of the woods surrounding the home, believ ing it highly probable that the mur derer might have hidden therein to watch the burning house, and will scour the woods again to-day. An other theory is that he might have been wounded by Mrs. Stevens before he killed her, and had been forced to drag himself to the woods for escape. That the man may he lying there now is a possibility expressed by the police. The shell found in the shot gun used by Mrs. Stevens was found to have been discharged. Does Bible Give Clew? A ’search Thursday morning of an old deserted cabin 100 yards from the destroyed Stevens’ home, in which Mrs. S. C. Stevens and her adopted daughter, Nellie, were murdered and then cremated, disclosed a Bible con taining numerous marked passages, tragically coincident with the reported conduct of her own son toward her. This cabin was occupied at different times by negro servants who worked on the Stevens place. It had been vacant for three weeks. The Bible reposed on a dust-cov ered mantel in the dingy shack. On the flyleaf appeared this inscription: "Mrs. S. C. Stevens' book.” In the list of the Ten Command ments. two of them were marked in pencil. They were: “Thou shalt not kill.” "Honor thy father and thy moth er.” Several passages in the book of Ex odus were marked, all bearing on the relation of the son to the parents One of these reads: "And he that smiteth his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.” Verses of the same chapter were also marked, one reading "And he that curseth his father or yyi *0mz \ ' m X. • his mother shall surely be put to death.” “And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt surely give life for life.” Negro Is Sought. Walter Wilkes, a negro, who occu pied the deserted cabin until three* weeks ago, is being sought by officers Thursday in the general plan of inves tigating every one on whom suspicion might possibly turn. Where he went after leaving the Stevens home ha^ not been learned. The search ,.<£ the cabin revealed discarded clothing, supposed to have been left by Wilkes. The clothing is said to have been damp. On an old table was also found a caseknife. In the corner of the room was an old ax. It bore spots, but these are believed to be rust. This is not thought to be the missing Stevens' ax, which was practically new ana bright. Sheriff McCurdy said Thurs day he believed this ax was at the bottom of the well in the yard of the burned home. Search is also being made for an unidentified negro who once worked for a Mrs. Nort, said to be a friend of Mrs. Stevens. This negro wrote Mrs. Nort a letter asking her for a recommendation, but she failed to grant his request. Last Saturday the negro is said to have called her up over the telephone and remarked that he didn’t need a recommendation any way. “that he was working ror her friend, Mrs. Stevens.” No one has been found who knows anything of this negro. He is described as being black and thick. Gun Shell Is Found, B. R. Peavy, a farmer who was on the scene of the crime all night, made an extended search of the ruins, and in the room where the charred bodies were found discovered a shotgun shell. The primer was dented, indi cating that it had been fired. The single-barreled shotgun found beside the remains of Mrs. Stevens was empty. Peavy also found a discharged revolver cartridge, of .38 caliber. Mrs. Stevens’ revolver is said to have been of 32 caliber. Her revolver is still missing. The finding of the discharged car tridges has only served to intensify the baffling mystery as to what took place in the murder room. It has given rise to several theories. It has been suggested that there may have been a gun battle between Mrs. Ste vens and the assailant. There is still another theory that the murderer may have shot Mrs. Stevens with a re volver. and, as she fell, seized the shotgun, with which she was trying to defend the home, and with it shot the girl to death. Officers are satisfied that Mrs. Stevens had leaped from bed and seized the shotgun to protect herself and little Nellie, but it is a matter of pure speculation as to how the shell came to be discharged. The time of the tragedy, or at least of the fire, was fixed Thursday in a statement by Farris Simmons, a brakeman of the Southern Railway, who said he passed on his train be tween 12 and 1 o’clock Wednesday morning and saw the house in flames The railroad Is but a short distance from the burned home. This would make it positive that the murder was committed about midnight or before that hour, and the Stevens boy will merely have to show that he left for Chattanooga before that time. Suspect Trailed. Telephone information from Red Oak, a short distance south of At lanta, was received at the police sta tion Thursday afternoon to the effect that a suspicious stranger, believed to be Dan Walker, the suspected half- breed Indian who was shot at by Mrs. Stevens several weeks ago when he insulted her adopted daughter, had passed through that place yesterday. Policeman Clarence Hamilton, who is detailed on the mystery with De tective Rosser, immediately notified Fairbum, Newnan, Palmetto and other towns along the route to be on the lookout for the half-breed and take him into custody, pending in structions from Atlanta. Sister Believes Son Innocent. In a darkened room in a little house at 33 Dalney Street, with a physician in almost constant attendance, lies a woman prostrated by grief. Absolute quiet has been ordered by the doctor, and the anguish tears at her heart in a silence broken only by her own sobs and the hushed patter of childish footsteps as her children play quietly about the house. She is Mrs. Pearl Hartley, sister of Mrs. Sarah C. Stevens, whose charred body was found lying beside that of her adopted daughter in the smoking ruins of their farm home seven miles from Atlanta. Prostrated by the shock of the tragedy, with her imagi nation made vivid by her suffering and grief. Mrs. Hartley is seeing in the darkness of her room the terrible happenings of that night of horror. Mrs. Hartley’s only surcease froi£ suffering caqne for a few moments late Wednesday afternoon, When, un der the influence of opiates adminis tered by her physician, she recovered sufficiently to talk to a Georgian re porter. Mrs. Hartley sobbed audibly throughout the interview, and her eyes, red with weeping and reflecting the anguish that tore at her heart, emphasized her words as she cried for vengeance on the murderer. “Why do they always murder wom en?” she cried. "It is terr’ble. Little girls are murdered when they go onto the street, and now a woman is not safe even in her own home.” Faints at News. The notifying of Mrs. Hartley of the death of her sister and niece formed one of the most dramatic and pathetic incidents of the entire trag edy. She was downtown Wednesday’ morning shopping, when word came to her home on Dalney Street that her sister and niece had been murdered. Mrs. Lena Thompson .a neighbor, of 24 Dalney Street, volunteered to go downtown and find Mrs. Hartley and tell her the sad news. After a search of an hour Mrs. Thompson found Mrs. Hartley in the Kress store on Whitehall Street. As she stood trying to locate the sister of the murdered woman in the crowd of shoppers Mrs. Hartley', warned by in tuition that something was wrong, pushed through the crowd and hur ried to Mrs. Thompson. "What is it?” she cried. “What’s the matter?” Mrs. Thompson, seeking to break the news gently, told her that her sis ter^ home had burned 'down and that she had been badly injured. “It’s worse than that,” Mrs. Hartley cried. "I feel it! I know it is worse than that!” She screamed and fainted in the arms of Mrs. Thompson. She was soon revived and taken to her home. Mrs. Thompson endeavored to calm her on the trip on the street car with the assurance that everything was all right. As Mrs. Hartley entered her yard, one of her little daughters ran out of the house, tears streaming down her face. “Oh. mamma.” she cried, "Aunt Sa rah and Cousin Nellie have been killed!” With a scream. Mrs. Hartley fell to the ground in a swoon. She was picked up by* Mrs. Thompson and members of her family and carried Into the house. A physician was called and administered opiates. Un der the influence of the medicine she was able to sit up in bed for a few moments late in the afternoon, but collapsed again when she learned that her nephew, the son of the murdered woman, was being sought by the po lice as the murderer of his mother.
