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 Coming o! The Sunbeam How to Avoid Those Pains and Dis tress Whioh so Many Mothers Havo Suffered. 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.

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.
