have been called for by a negro of
the same name, but which unaccount
ably had been left there without a
claimant. He regarded this as pecu
liar. and notified persons interested in
the defense.
A negro calling himpelf J. Will
Green visited the store May 16 and
displayed a rather ornate gold ring,
worth probably $12 or $15. He de
sired to have a Radius diamond set
in It. and said that he would be
around within a day or two after it.
He never returned. It was about this
time that the report spread around
the city that the Rhagan murder had
had an eyewitness in the person of a
negro who was shooting craps with
Conley.
A sister of the Will Green who left
the ring at the jewelry store was seen
Wednesday. She said that her broth
er had left town about two months
ago and that none of the family had
heard from him since or had any idea
where he was. She said he was work
ing with some small circus or theat
rical troupe when he left.
The Green that the detectives have
been pursuing Is known to be con
nected with a circus or show, addi
tional strength thus being given to
the theory that their identity is the
same.

Gantt Sees Solicitor.
J. M. Gantt, a discharged employee
of the National Pencil Factory, who
Wednesday conferred with Solicitor
(ieneral Dorsey and Attorney Frank
A. Hooper, denied that he made the
startling statement to them that he
saw at 1 o’clock on the day that Mary
Phagan was murdered Jim Conley
and Deo Frank conversing together
in Frank’s office.
Intimation that Gantt contemplated
making such a statement to the pros
ecution is said to have come to the
defense in an anonymous letter some
time ago. The writer said in effect:
“I was standing on the Rtreet the
other day and heard Gantt talking to
some other fellow He told this fel
low that he had stood across thn
street Saturday, April 26, and had
looked through the window of the
factory and seen Jim Conley talking
to Frank in Frank's office.
“I don't think Gantt has told this
to the Solicitor yet, and, as he is not
in very good financial condition, I
think that he might he persuaded to
keep it quiet if he was sent a little
money.”
No attention was paid to the letter
Lee Grilled Again.
Gantt, the Solicitor and attorney
were in the Jail together. They re
mained two and a quarter hours ques
tioning Newt Dee closely. They went
over practically the same ground
that was covered in the inquest,
quizzing him about hl« actions the
day of the murder and his where
abouts every minute during the time
before he reported at the factory and
about Frank’s manner w’hen he met
him at the factory.
Dee stuck to his previous story, and
declared that he knew nothing about
the crime until he came upon the body
that night. They asked him how he
happened to go into the basement at
that time, and he made the same ex
planation that he gave before the
Coroner's Jury.
Dee said that he did not see Conley
there that night and did not even
know' Conley by sight. In the after
noon it was planned to take Conley
from the police station to the Jail to
confront Dee and question the two to
gether.
Lanford Scouts
Bludgeon Evidence.
Chief of Detectives No A port Dnn-
ford Wednesday morning ridiculed
the story that the defense of Deo M.
Frank has In its possession a bloody
club, alleged to have been found by
two Pinkerton detectives on May 10
In the National Pencil factory, and
with which, it is reported, the defense
will contend Mary Phagan was slain
by jAmes Conley, the negro sweeper.
Asserting that he knows nothing
whatever of the alleged bloody club.
Chief Danford declared that, if Pin
kerton detectives found such a wea
pon on May 10. or any other date,
they had failed to report the fa"*t
to him. Failure to officially report
such a find would be regarded as a
breach of the pact between the city
detectives and the Pinkertons, as the
latter officers, while employed by the
pencil factory, have been working
hand In hand with city detectives,
with the understanding that any evi
dence they unearthed would be com
municated to detective headquarters.
Has Received No Report.
"If Pinkerton detectives found, a
bloody club In the pencil factory they
certainly should have reported that

fact to me at once—I have received
no such report,” said Chief Lanford.
The police regard as significant the
attitude of Harry Scott, who is man
aging the Pinkerton investigation,
and who, subsequent to May 10, has
continued to assert his belief in the
guilt of Frank.
Chief Danford characterized the al
leged finding of the club as an ”an-
surdity,” and scouted the idea of R
having any bearing on the case. He
is satisfied, he said, that it will never
figure as evidence.
The chief si.id the only club found
in the pencil factory, of which he had
any knowledge, was a small section
of broom handle, about a foot in
length, which hung by a cord beside
the desk of I>eo M. Frank in the lat
ter’s private office.
Broom Handle Was Found.
This “club” bore no blood stains,
he said, and showed no evidence of
having ever been used as a weapon
in any way. It was too light to have
done any damage had a blow* been
struck with It, he said
Chief Danford treated the bloody
club story in the manner of a Joke.
"Do you see a club there?” re
marked the Chief, pointing to a per
fectly clear spot on his office floor,
when asked as to the reported find by
the Pinkertons.
"Well, that’s the answer,” he con
tinued. "There is Just as much of a
bloody club lying there on that floor
as there was on the floor of the pencil
factory, where It is said the Pinker
tons found their bloody club. The
whole thing Is absurd and will have
no bearing whatever on the case of
Frank, I’m satisfied this mysterious
club will never be introduced in evi
dence.
No Weapon Was Found.
"When it is recalled that the very
spot that yielded up this bloody club
was searched thoroughly more than a
dozen times by numerous officers prior
to May 10 and no club nor other
weapon was found, the ridiculousness
of this story is apparent. We search
ed that factory from top to bottom
and bottom to top, closely investigat
ing every conceivable place for weap
ons or any other bit of evidence that
might throw' light on the mystery,
and yet no club was found.
"There’s absolutely nothing to it.
"In Frank’s private office we found
a small piece of broomstick, hang
ing by a cord beside his desk. There
were no blood stains on It, and it
showed no evidence of having been
used as a w eapon. In the first place,
it was too light to serve as a weapon.
This was the only club found in the
factory at the time any oossible weap
ons should have been found ana
would have been found."
Date Still in Doubt.
Reuben Arnold said Wednesday
that the defense would ask for no
continuance of the Frank case except
for such Imperative reasons as the
absence of material witnesses or the
illness of counsel. Luther Rosser,
chief of counsel, also has indicated
that no move will be made by the de
fense for further delay in the trial
unless an emergency arises of the
sort described by Attorney Arnold.
Informal conferences between the
counsel in the Crawford will case
and those in the Frank case, in both
of which Rosser and Arnold appear
as attorneys, have resulted in the
announcement that the persons in
terested in the Crawford hearing are
willing to waive the priority of their
case and permit the Frank trial to
k go on Monday.
SENATE JETS TO
Passes Hixon-Searcy Bill—Fight
Rages Over 3-Gallon Burden
of Proof Clause.
By a vote of 36 to 3 the Senate
Wednesday afternoon passed the Hix
on-Searcy prohibition bill providing
for the enforcement of the Webb bill
In Georgia.
The bill makes It unlawful for any
firm or corporation to transport liq
uor Into the State for illegal purposes
and places the burden of proof of
such legality upon the shipper w'hen
quantities in excess of three gallons
are shipped.
Three-Gallon Clause Attacked.
It was around the three-gallon pro
vision as recommended in the Tern
perance Committee Substitute that
the fight centered Wednesday morn
ing. Senator Hixon. chairman of the
committee and author of the original
bill, and Senator Searcy, vice chair
man of the committee, opposed this
provision on the ground that the
whole burden of proof should be
placed on the carrier.
This was* vigorously opposed, how
ever, by Senator McNeil, of the
Twenty-second, a member of the
committee, who declared that such a
provision was an unjust burden upon
the carrier.
Senator Harrell, of the Tw’elfth,
also opposed the Hixon-Searcy meas
ure, declaring that the measure was
an effort to punish the Innocent car
rier rather than the illegal "blind
tiger” within the State.
Increase in Crime Charged.
As the bill stands the burden of
proof of Illegal sale la placed on the
State when quantities* less than three
gallons are shipped Into the State.
Several amendments. Including those
of Senator Hixon, striking out the
three-gallon clause, were voted down
before the final passage of the bill.
In the course of the debate sensa
tional statements were made by Sen
ator McNeil, "a prohibitionist In re
striction." who declared that under
the present prohibition law with its
"nefarious re.«ults,’’ felonies in the
State had Increased 66 per cent.

PORT CLINTON. OHIO. July 23 —
Thousands of frogs are migrating
overland from the marshes of Lake
Erie and the Portage River to San
dusky Bay. In the evenings when
they lift up their voices their num
bers seem to have been multiplied to
millions. They fill the roads and
streets and hundreds hop into homes.
Nervous women have become more

of the proverbial mice.

to restrain the company from charg
ing higher rates than those fixed by

The appeal for injunction by the
State was turned down bV the Su

ruled against the State, instructed the

ing it would be of no avail.
