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 nitfht. They asked him how' he
happened to go into the basement at
that time, and he made tho same ex
planation that he gave before the
Coroner’s Jury.
Lee said that he did not see Conley
there that night and dfd not even
know Conley by sight, in the after
noon it was planned to take t'onley
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 Haiti
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 dat°,
they had failed to report the fact
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 Lanford characterized the al
leged finding of the club as an “ab
surdity,” and scouted the Idea of it
having any bearing on the case. He
is satisfied, he said, that it will ngver
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 hunts 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- I
marked the Chief, pointing to a per- J
fectly clear spot on his office floor,
when asked as to the reported find by
th»* Pinkertons^
“Well, that’s'the answer." he con
tinued. “There Is Just as much of a j
bloody club lying there on that floor j
as there was on the floor of the pencil j
factory, where it Is said the Pinker
tons found their bloody club The
si hole filing ii absurd ;»n<i will have
no bearing whatever on the rase 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
vas 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 invastigat -
ing everv conceivable place for weap
ons or any other hit 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 weapon. 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 nossible 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 a* 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
go on Monday.

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

millions. They fill the roads and
streets and hundreds hop into homes.
Nervous women have become more
afraid of the clammy little frogs than
of the proverbial mice.

swarmed the room. Even when the
firemen mounted ladders and began
hacking at the ceiling the diners were
not dismayed.
The fire was of little consequence,
the ceiling catching probably from a

Judge, Not Coroner,
Gets Daring Joker
YONKERS, N. Y.. July 23.—Pas
sengers on a street car here dove froifi
every available exit when Stanzianno
Nazzano, a laborer who sat on a rear
seat, absently-mindedly knocked the
ashes from his cigar with a stick of
dynamite.
He was arrested and fined $30.
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 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 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 illegal 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 w'ith its
“nefarious results,” felonies in the
State had increased 66 per cent.

Governor Upsets Predecessor's
Precedent by Carrying Suit to
U. S. Supreme Court.
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 ade
vice of the Attorney General and Mn
Hines, who, immediately after his
inauguration, urged him to order atY
appeal.
