and notified the police
Assistant Chief Jett, Captain Mayo
Cali Officers Watson and Anderson
and Pol!; eman McWilliams went to
the scene in an automobile. As the
car, driven at top speed, dashed up io
the front of the candy store, the negro
who stood on the sidewalk saw the
officers coming and ran. The police,
thinking he was tha only man in the
.1ob, started In pursuit, but were called
back by the telephone girls, who were
gathered at the windows of the plant.
Call Policemen Back.
"Come back,’’ they cried, “there
are two others in the store!”
As the car turned and started hur
riedly back to the store, two negroes
dashed out of the front door and ran
up Ivy street, with the police in pur
suit. The negroes turned down Au
burn avenue and ran to the plant ofr
the Coca-Cola Bottling Company,
where they separated.
One of them disappeared in the
darkness, but the other was seen to
run around to the back of the plant.
The police surrounded the place, and
Captain Mayo went into the darkness
after him.
He flushed the negro in a few min
utes, and the burglar ran out into
the open on the rear side of the plant,
directly toward Officer Watson.
Leaps at Policeman. *
The policeman yelled three times
at the negro to halt. The burglar,
however, continued to advance, and
as he struck at the officer. Watson
leaped aside and fired, the bullet pen
etrating the negro’s leg.
The wounded negro was sent to the
Grady Hospital in the automobile,
and the police continued their search
for the other burglar. Half an hour
later Captain Mayo and Officer
Gresham found him crouched in the
darkness of a cellar on Houston
street. Gresham came upon the
negro suddenly, and the burglar,
probably thinking the officer was
alone, leaped up with a curse.
Gresham covered him with his re
volver, but the negro continued to ad
vance. As Gresham was about to
fire, Captain Mayo came up and cov
ered the negro and he surrendered.
When the automobile, crowded with
police and prisoners, passed the tele
phone exchange en route back to the
station, they were applauded by the
young women who crowded the win
dows and who were responsible for
the capture of the two negroes.

Assembly Likely to Investigate
Report Misrepresentation Was
Made to Boost Salary.
Representative Connor, of Spald
ing County, Introduced a resolution In
the House to-day calling for & legis
lative Investigation of the State Ag
ricultural College at Athens, particu
larly with respect to Dr. Andrew M.
Soule’s connection therewith.
Mr. Connor’s resolution recites the
fact that Dr. Soule has been publicly
accused In The Southern Fancier-
Farmer, a poultry and agricultural
magazine, with having obtained a re
cent raise In salary upon false repre
sentations, and calls upon the Legis
lature to investigate the charge and
summon Dr. Soule before the Com
mittee on Appropriations to answer
the same.
It also provides for the summoning
of B. M. Blackburn, the editor of the
magazine, who is held responsible for
the charges, to come before the com
mittee and substantiate them, if he
ly-Kgnywy■tgi.»->--• . .. , ■*-»»
can.
The magazine charges that Dr.
Soule recently asked the board to
raise his salary from 15,000 to >8,000
and based hie appeal upon the ipround
that he had been offered a salary of
$8,000 per annum to serve In a simi
lar capacity in the Minneapolis Col
lege of Agriculture.
The magazine says Dr. Soule never
was offered any such sum to serve in
the Minnesota college, nor any sum
whatever, and that h»s correspondence
with the Minnesota college was very
brief, and resulted speedily in the
choice of another man for the place.
The; Fancier-Farmer prints that
which purports to be documentary
evidence to sustain this charge.
Besides the direct allegation of ob
taining a raise in salary on false rep
resentation to the Georgia College
management, the magazine attacks
Dr. Soule vigorously for incompeten-
Cy and general unfitness for the of
fice he holds.

NEGRO SAID 10 HAKE
Dl
Sister of Will Green Tells Police H e
Slept at Home at Hour Girl Was
Slain; Jim Conley, Factory
Sweeer Again Grilled.
The two negro principals in the Phagan case—Newt Lee and
Jim Conley—were put on the grill together in the cell of the for
mer in the county jail by Solicitor Dorsey and his assistant, Frank
G. Hooper, late Wednesday afternoon.
Present at the croes-examination were J. M. Gantt, former
pencil factory employee, and Detectives Starnes and Campbell, the
officers who have had charge of Conley for the pa3t several weeks.
After half an hour’s questioning Gantt left the jail. Solicitor Dor
sey and the others remained and the questioning of the two ne
groes continued until a late hour. Conley was then taken back to
police headquarters.
Here are Wednesday's important developments in the Pha
gan murder mystery:
Bloodstained glove of Jlarv Phagan is said to have been found
on the first floor near the place the discovery of her pay envelope
was made.
New evidence is found tending to establish the identity of the
negro, Will Green, said to have s een the attack upon Mary Pha-
gan.
Newt Lee, negro night watchman at the pencil factory, under
goes a grilling examination at the hands of Solicitor General Dor
sey and his associate counsel, Frank A. Hooper.
J. M. Gantt, expected to give sensational evidence for the pros
ecution at the trial, is in conference with the solicitor and pres
ent at the grilling of Lee.
Leo M. Frank tells Sheriff Mangum that he is eager for the
trial to begin, and will be ready when it is called Monday morn
ing.
Solicitor Dorsey announces that he will insist that there be
| no further delay.
It became known Wednesday
that the defense in the Frank
case had been informed that the
negro, Will Gregn, who is said
to have been shooting craps with
Jim Conley the day that Mary
Phagan was murdered and to
have seen her attacked, and the
Wil lGreen living at lOo Thur
mond street, Atlanta, are the
same person.
Private detectives in the employ of
the defense have trailed the negro
across a half-dozen States and have
missed him by as small a margin as
30 minutes in some of the towns they
have visited in the chase.
Trailed by a Ring.
Charles Fine, proprietor of the Ra
dius Jewelry Company. No. 107
Peachtree street, when he read in The
Georgian that the defense was search
ing for a Will Green, recalled that he
had a ring in his store which was to
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 parsons interested in
the defense.
A negro calling himself J. Will
Green visited the store May 16 ana
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 Phagan 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

ago and that none of the family had
