*• * CRACKERSLOSEFIRST FINAL BOX SCORE EDITION The Atlanta Georgian Read for Profit—GEORGIAN WAT*T ADS—Use for Results VOL. XI. NO. 257. ATLANTA, GA., SATURDAY, MAY 31,1913. Copyright, 190(1, By The Georgian Co. 2 CENTS PAT N0 WORK Spends Hours With Dorsey Studying Huge Diagram of Scene of Slaying. Importaut Developments Looked For—Nothing Startling Made Public. For hours Saturday James Conley, negro sweeper, whose sen. sational confession accuses Superintendent Leo M. Frank of the murder of Mary Phagan, explained in detail to Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey the dread mysteries of the National Pencil Fac tory on April 26, explaining many things that had not been clear to the officials, but sticking tenaciously to the story he told the city detectives. Conley was taken to the So- '( Heitor's office at that official’s request and put through a se vere cross-examination. With an elaborate diagram, drawn for the Solicitor by Bert Green, a Georgian staff artist, to guide him, the negro traced the va rious scenes in the factory after the slaying of the girl. He told Just where he first claims to have found her and how he and the superintendent ho accuses attempted to dispose of the body. The drama he enacted in the factory Friday for the detectives he re-enacted for the Solicitor In the little room at the court house wtth the artist’s chart as the stage and his finger as the tracer of tragedy. Dorsey Well Satisfied. The Solicitor was well satisfied with the results obtained In the secret con ference behind closed doors and cer tain points that had been vague to him before were made clear. At Conley's own request, through William Smith, his counsel, the negro was later transferred to the police station. The negro had been so be sieged by questioners at the county Jail that he asked to be put within the shelter of police headquarters, where he had been closely guarded and where none but policemen had been allowed to interrogate him. Conley intimated that he had been threatened at the Jail, but little cred ence was put In his rambllngs. It was plain that he wanted rest. He ’, had told his story so often—each time, it may be noted, In almost the same words—that he was tired. The police agreed that he had answered enough questions from outsiders and he was moved. „ Police Urge New Test. A determined effort is being made ’ by the police department to bring 1 Frank face to face with his accuser. The detectives wish to learn how Conley will go through the ordeal of confronting the man he accuses of directing the disposal of the body of Mary Phagan, and dictating the notes that were found by her body. They desire also to give Frank an opportunity to deny the negro's story as Conley is repeating it. Frank has been the man of silence in the Tower. He has had nothing to say in regard to the crime to anyone who has sought to talk with him on the sub ject, unless it was to his most inti - * mate friends who have visited him In his cell. He still refuses to have anything to say or to have Conley brought t<f his cell, except by the permission of his attorney, Luther Z. Rosser, and in Mr. Rosser's presence. Plan to Ask Rosser. The detectives propose to take the matter up with Attorney Rosaer. They will represent that the case has reached a stage where it is nec essary to give Conley’s statements their final test. Conley went over the scene of the crime step by '•■gtep on Friday and never wavered in his tale involving Frank deeply. Now it is desired to have him ap pear before the very man he so strongly accuses and have him repeat the* terrible charges. Some believe that if Conley is alone guilty of the crime, this ordeal will be the final straw that will bring about his full confession. If Attorney Rosser agrees to the plan, the negro will be taken at once to the cell of Frank. Conley is still in an unsettled state from his long three-day grilling by the detectives, and is thought to be Just In the frame of mind to break down and make a full confession, if he knows any more about the crime than he already baa told. Silent Regarding the Case. In the event that the meeting is arranged, it will be the first time that Frank has broken his silence in re gard to the case. He may have talked of it to members of his own family, but his most intimate friends say that he has played cards with their and conversed freely on the topics of the day as he has read of them in the daily papers, but that he never has discussed the Phagan mystery dinjet- ly and at length. Some of his friends have been with him every hour of every day since he has been in the cell at the Tower. They have been most loyal to the imprisoned man. They declare that he never has mentioned the subject to any of the attaches of the Jail, except occasion ally to the Sheriff himself. And then it was in an almost impersonal man ner. • "1 do not know who is guilty,” he said, “but whoever he is, he should hang.” Conley Is Ready to Pay Penalty as Accomplice. “Yes, sir, I guess maybe it’s all over with me. I suppose they're going to hang me or send me to the peniten tiary for life, but I done told the truth. "When the Sheriff puts the rope around my neck, I’m going to say: ‘“Stop; wait a minute. I know I did wrong. I tried to hide that dead girl's body and I ought to be punished, but before God I didn't kill her.’ ” Jim Conley, negro sweeper, whose confession that he helped Leo M. Frank dispose of the body of Mary Phagan after the superintendent had killed her, created a profound sensa tion, peered through the bars of his cell in the Fulton Tower and pro nounced his readiness to die for his crime as an accomplice, and in the same breath protested his innocence of the actual murder. Ready to Face Frank. “I am ready right now,” he said, "to face Mr. Frank. I’ll look him right in the eye and I'll say, 'You know I didn't kill that girl, Mr. Frank, and you know I’m telling the truth to these white folks.’ ” Conley declared again that Frank wrote one note himself. He said he had written the "long, tall black negro message” on “single-ruled, white pa per from a tablet.” He asserted that Frank wrote something on paper not white, but a shade of green or gray— paper that he thought had the letter head of the National Pencil Company factory on It. It has always been taken for grant ed that the two notes are the work of one man. The paper of neither cor responds to that described by Conley as the kind Frank used. What does Conley's assertion signify? Harassed by questioners, bombard ed with hostile queries, importuned and threatened in an effort to get at the truth in the terrible pencil fac tory mystery—in the minds of many Continued on Page 2, Column 1. Convicts Her Insulter and Regains Husband +•+ +••!• +#+ Pretty Atlanta Matron Nips Scandal in Bud ipi \ mmm Mrs. Charles Kugler, who won fight to clear her name and wins back estranged husband by convicting her accuser. 6 CENTS FOR MARQUETTE, MICH, May 31.—“ 1 have achieved my purpose and am content,” saild former President Theodore Roosevelt, addressing the the Marquette County circuit court this afternoon. The trial of his $10,000 libel suit against George Newett, editor of The Ishpeming Iron Ore, came to an ab rupt termination when Newett him self took the stand and asking per mission of the court made a state ment in which he said he had publish ed alegations of Rosevelt’s intemper ate habits in god faith and that in view of the testimony now adduced he is convinced he was mistaken. By agreement of the counsel Attor ney William P. Belden announced to the court that Newett was ready to confess judgment. It was then that Colonel Roosevelt asked permission of the court to himself make a state ment. “I did not go into this trial for money,” said Colonel Roosevelt. “Neither did I go into this suit for any vindictive purpose nor with any vindictive feelings toward the defense, as my Counsel has repeatedly stated, my reputation had been an issue and it Is an issue •because I have made it an issue. “Thea reason I have done that is because I wished thoroughly and com pletely to deal with these slanders and libels, to deal with th^m in such a way that never again can any per son or any publication repeat them, claiming to do so in good faith. 1 have achieved my purpose and am content. I am convinced that this de fendant did act in good faith and I therefore ask this honorable court to asses merely nominal damages. At the suggestion of Attorney Bel den. Judge Flannigan then announced a recess of fifteen miutes during which counsel was to confer as to the nominal amount of damages. iosevelt swas awarded six cents datsages. Mrs. Charles Kugler Wins Vindi cation in Charges Against Inspector Maddox. Pretty Mth. Charles Kugler was a smiling and satisfied victor Saturday in her court fight which she had de clared she would continue until s?he had cleared her name and won back her husband. * Inspector Henry H. Maddox, of the city sanitary department, the tale of whose insulting remarks to Mrs. Kugler caused her husband to leave her In a rage, was fined $25.7B by Recorder Broyles and was in addi tion given a sound rating by the Re corder. “If you would look after the physi cal cleanliness of the city only and would leave the moral cleanliness in the hands of Chief Beavers. I fancy you and the city both would get along better.” said Recorder Broyles. “In the future I suggest that you do not make derogatory remarks about women, particularly when you are Fpeaklng on hearsay and with such a misty idea of the woman’s identity as you were in this case.” Husband Also Scored. The husband also came in for a grilling through the indignant offices of Detective “Bob” Waggoner, who asked for permission to address the court and then asserted emphatically that a case ought to be made against Kugler for his strange and cruel treatment of his wife. Waggoner said that Mrs. Kugler had told him that her husband flew into a fury and beat her when she told him of the remark** that Maddox had made to her and declared that he was going to quit her until she was able to clear her name. “There is no reason why you should have suspected this woman of any wrongdoing.” said Recorder Broyles Mrs. Kugler was forgiving and would not consent to any prosecution of her husband. She went from the court room on his arm and was smil ing delightedly as she entered the of fice of Chief Beavers, who proceeded to give the husband a lecture on his conduct. Kugler was told that there Continued on Page Column 8, RACING RESULTS AT TORONTO.

The rubber hose had been removed from bruin's stomach before he ate the hat, so most of the blame for his death was placed on the hat. The autopsy proved the hat had been di gested, but in the stomach were found two handkerchiefs and a aolt£ rubber ball about twice the alee oi-U esse .
