Continued From Page 1. 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 persons Interested In the defense. A negro calling himself J. Will Green visited the store May 16 and displayed a rather ornate gold ring, worth probably $12 or $16. 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 wag 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.

He slept practically all the day that Mary Phagan was murdered, she de clared, and didn't even go downtown to see the Memorial Day parade, al though he was urged by one of his friends. He was working nights for the Southern Railway at tins time, according to the sister, Joining the show people a few days later. She failed to explain why he sud denly had left town without stopping to recover the gold ling of consider able value which he had left at the Fine Jewelry store. Gantt Sees Solicitor. J. M. Gantt, a discharged employee of the National Pencil Factory, who Wednesday conferred with Solicitor General Dorsey and Attorney Prank 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 Leo 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 <»n the street the other day and heard Gantt talking to some other fellow He told this fel low that he had stood across the street Saturday, April 26, and had looked through the window of the factory and seen Jim Conley talking tc 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 be 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 Lee closely. They went over practically the same ground that was covered in the inquest, quizzing him about his 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 when he met him at the factory. Lee 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 hr happened to go into the basement at that time, and he made the same ex planation that he gave before the Coroner’s Jury. Lee 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 Lee and question the two to gether. Lanford Scouts Bludgeon Evidence. Chief of Detectives Newport Lan ford Wednesday morning ridiculed the story that the defense of Leo 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 t^lain by James Conley, the negro sweeper. Asserting that he knows nothing whatever of the alleged bloody club. Chief Lanford declared that.'if Pin kerton detectives found such a wea pon on May 10. or any other date, they had failed to report the fan 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 Judge Ellis Joins Beavers in Vice War I Judge W. D. Ellis, of the Supe rior Court, Joined Chief Beavers in his vice crusade Wednesday when the injunction proceedings of Mrs. Lula Bell, keeper of a house at Peters and Fair street, which was raided lost week, came up for disposal. Mrs. Bell withdrew her petition for a permanent injunction and agreed to move from the neighborhood. Judge Ellis then announced he would grant no more temporary injunctions against the police on petition of women of Mrs. Bell’s character until he had investigated the charges him self.

The police regard as significant the attitude of Harry Scott, who Is man aging the Pinkerton investigation, and who, subsequent to May 10, hd9 continued to assert his belief in the guilt of Frank. Chief Lanford characterized the al leged finding or the club as an "aD- surdlty,” and scouted the Idea of U having any bearing on the case. H*' Is satisfied, he said, that it will never figure as evidence. The chief said 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 Leo 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 Lanford 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 chib 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 weapon. In the first place, il 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. 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 when quantities in excess of three gallons are shipped. Three-Gallon Clause Attacked. It was around the three-gallon pro vision as recommended in the Tem 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 wa« vigorously opposed, how ever, by Senator McNeil, of the Twenty-second, a member of the committee, who declared that such a provision w'as an unjust burden upon the carrier. Senator Harrell, of the Twelfth, 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 Uiegal sale Is 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 results,“ felonies in the State had Increased 66 per cent.

Papal Guards Must Obey Orders or Quit Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. ROME, July 23.—The Swiss guards at the Vatican must obey orders or leave. Their demands, presented aft er the mutiny on Monday, were re jected by the Holy See to-day. They were told they must either submit to the present military rule or return to their homes. The or ganizers of the agitation will be dis missed, it is reported. Governor Slaton Wednesday morn ing instructed Attorney General Thomas S. Felder and James K. Hines, special attorney for the Rail road Commission, to appeal to the United States Supreme Court in the State’s suit against the Western and Atlantic Railroad Company, seeking to restrain the company from charg ing higher rates than those fixed by the Georgia standard tariff and classification. The appeal for injunction by the State was turned down by the Su perior and Supreme Courts. Governor Slaton’s act is directly contrary to that of Governor Brown, who, when the State Supreme Court ruled against the State, instructed the Attorney General not to appeal, hold ing it would be of no avail. The Governor acted upon the ad vice of the Attorney General and Mr. Hines, who, immediately after his inauguration, urged him to order an appeal.
