Much chatter and gayety marked the transition of 21 girls from pupil? to teachers Monday .afternoon when the normal clas** of th*e Girls' High School held its commencement exer cises in Browning Hall. Dressed all in white, each with a bouquet of white flowers at her cor sage, the bevy of young women pre sented one of the liveliest graduation classes which has been seen in At lanta in some time, w hen they stepped down from the platform with their diplomas in hand, prepared to face the knotty problems of drilling knowl edge into the minds of young Amer- his crime to a negro or any other person by asking their assistance in disposing of the body. After this he would not take a cab driver, a woman and any others w ho happened to observe his movements into his confidence by removing the dead body to a semi-public house like hat of Mrs. Fomby’s.

He raid that it took place a few minutes before 12 o'clock. The defense will claim that, as a matter »»f fact, the conversation took place at about 9:30 o’clock in the norning and that the negro must lave been there at that time in order ir the conversation, although he testified that he did not come there until he met Frank on the street at i 11 o’clock.

Grand Jury Hears Mayor, Colonel Felder and Hutcheson Tell of Conditions in Atlanta. Continued From Page 1. conditions. He is said to have in- lormed the grand jurors that his in formation was only hearsay. How ever. he gave out what he had heard in full. The Mayor also pointed out to the jurymen possibilities for the existence of such practices. The ex amination of Mr. Woodward contin ued for more than an hour. Colonel Felder was before the Grand Jury for ten minutes. The attorney was not subpenaed to appear at the hearing, but presented himself volun tarily. He is said to have outlined his own position in reference to the brib ery charges and also the wholesale charges of corruption which have been made against the police. Felder Offers Evidence. Tn connection with the latter accu sations. Mr. Felder declared to the in vestigating body that he would sub mit documentary evidence showing the existence of vice in Atlanta to prove his previous assertions. It is believed that Carl Hutcheson, the young attorney in Felder’s office, is counted upon to supply this evi dence. Mr. liu cheson was called be fore the Grand Jui;v shortly before noon. While he did not carry in with him the list of resorts said to be oper ating now in this city. Which lie has compiled, he declared that if this doc ument were asked for by the jury men he would hand it over to them. That the Grand Jury was in pos session of sufficient information to indict the keepers and proprietors of at least 30 houses of disreputable character was the announcement made by Mr. Hutcheson when he emerged from the session chamber after he had been before the jurors for more than an hour. Says He Furnished Proof. He said that lie had furnished posi tive evidence that these resorts and houses of assignation existed and that the policemen on the beats v of their existence. “But did you give them positive information that Chief Beavers and Chief Lanford knew of their exist ence?” he was asked. "I told them enough so that they must draw the conclusion that Beav ers and Lanford could hardly help but know.” he replied. “The heads of departments always are responsible for the workings of the men under them.” Mrs. Fomby in City. The fact that Mrs. Fomby, a wit ness in the Fhagan case, has been summoned, gave the meeting an air of mystery. It was stated on reliable information, however, that her testi mony would have nothing to do with the Fhagan case. It is understood that her name wap one on the list that was to be furnished the police department by Carl Hutcheson, in which the attorney alleged she was receiving police protection. It was also said that the woman was not out of the city, as hinted a few days ago. but had merely changed her ad dress and given the new location to the Solicitor. Chief Beavers. Chief Lanford and G. C. Febuary-, Lanford’p secretary, were served Tuesday morning. Feb- uarV’s subpena demanded that he bring the dictograph and documentary evidence he had taken in the affair. A. S. Colyar. Jr., had not been served, but Deputy Plennie Minor stated he would locate him during the morning. Before going into the Grand Jury room Chief Beaver? made the follow ing statement: “I want the truth of this whole af fair to be known. If there is rotten ness in the department I certainlv want to find out about it and get it out. I want the jury to hew close to the line and let the chips fall-where they may." Gives All Details. It is understood that Mr. Hutche son gave names and addresses and withheld nothing. He went so .far as to display keys of rooms in the al leged disorderly houses that had been obtained by himself and others who assisted him in his investigations. Mr. Hutcheson’s investigations are said to have extended over a period of weeks. He said that he had several assistants and that the investigation was made with an idea of furnishing evidence that would indict everyone against whom it was procured. “1 do not care to go into any detail concerning my testimony before the Grand Jury." be said. “They did not grill me. They simply ‘turned me loose’ and permitted me to give the information in my possession. All that 1 care to say is that 1 gave them all that 1 indicated I could furnish to Chief Beavers, and there is much more that can be divulged when I get it into shape. I did not charge graft. I simply showed that these places were being protected and let the jurors draw their own conclu sions as to why.” More to Come. Says Felder. Mr Hutcheson’s revelations of al leged protection are a part of Colonel Felder’? announced plan of “turning things upside down" in Atlanta's po lice department. “This is only a part." said Colonel
