Charges Breach of Faith With the Police and Questionable Pro cedure in Phagan Case. Continued from Pafe One. this evidence as it Is called for 1n I court, regardless of whom It may help or hurt. We mav have our private opinion an to who la the guilty per- j ion. but this shall not be allowed to color the testimony aa It is given In court. It U for the Jury to make Its interpretation of*the evidence.” Defense Gets Copies of Notes. Request was made Saturday by At torney Rosser for photographic copies of then otaa found beside- the body of Mary Phagan. The copies were In the possession of Solicitor Dorsey, who readily acceded to the request. Th»- defense will seek to show that Frank could have had no part in their com position or dictation. The State’s case Is reported to be I ready for Immediate presentation All j of the witnesses hav« been sum - | moned. All of the panel of 144 Jurors, 1 with the exception of six or seven who could not be found, have been notified to be on hand Monday. Both Sides Getting Ready. Prosecution and defence continued their preparations for the Frank trial the last-hour hurry of Interviewing new witnesses and gathering up the stray ends of evidence, giving a fair promise that the trial will start as scheduled next Monday forenoon. That Solicitor Dorsey has nearly a score of Important witnesses whose testimony has been carefully guarded from the defense and the general pub lic is well known. These witnesses have come to his office from lime to time, and the Solicitor has refused to give out the vaguest Intimation of the line of testimony they would give at the trial. The prosecution has reserved their evidence to spring as a surprise dur ing the trial. On these persons the State depends to clinch Its case against the young factory superin tendent. Some of them will he called to hear out different portions of the negro Conley’s affidavit. In which was told the story of the disposal of Mary Phagan’s body. The Solicitor Is un derstood to have witnesses who will corroborate portions of Conley’s story Vhich have been under the severest flrv. Thinks Conley Storv True. • ' The Solicitor several times hy^ an nounced that hr believes ^ohley .s telling the truth In tlie essential statements of his affidavit. He has strengthen^! his belief by Interview ing many people whrs were In a posi tion to know of different circum stances mentpned In Conley’s story The only possibility of an alteration in the State’s theory Is that the time flement may be modified in certain respects. Similar surpr.ses may he expected from the defence. Attorney Rosser has not been communicative with the newspaper men. The few bits of his evidence that have become known to the public were obtained In spite of him. Except for the Mincey affida vit, published In The Georgian, most of the important evidence of the de fense has been so carefully guarded as to make It still u matter of con jecture. The general plan of Frank's defense can he surmised, but the con tents of the hundred or more affida vits in the possession of Attorney Rower remain a deep mvsterv. "Plant” Generally Suspected. No one expects at this time that the pay envelope, the bloody club or the piece of rope found on the first floor will play any large part In the trial. Neither side Is convinced of their genuineness. The suspicion of r “plant” has prevailed from the time of their discovery. Two operatives who began turning up this sort of startling evidence the moment they were placed on the case soon were taken off the Phagan mys tery by the Pinkerton agency. Both sides announce themselves ready for the trial to proceed. It Is regarded as doubtful that the defense will ask for another continuance, ex cept on account of the absence of material witnesses or the illness of counsel. About 150 witnesses al ready have been summoned by the defense. According to Bernard Chappell©, counsel for Newt Dee, the night watchman In the pencil factory, the negro Saturday denied in the pres ence of Reuben R. Arnold, attorney for Frank, that he had broken down and admitted catching Jim Conley with the body of Mary Phagan. Chapelle had heard that Frank’s counsel understood Dee had collapsed while being grilled with the sweeper and called up Mr. Arnold. At his suggestion, Arnold visited I^ec at the jail and there Dee is said to have re affirmed his previous statement that he did not see Conley the day of the murder. Fireman Jones Has Rib Broken. Engineer Jennings, of Macon, Injured—Porter Is Killed. MACON. July 26 Southern pas senger trains Nos 13 (northbound) and No. 24 (southbound) had a head- on collision on a siding at Hilton, near Macon, this morning at 3:10 o’clock, resulting in the death of Will Jackson, the negro porter, who open ed the switch, and injuring Engineer H. G. Jennings, of Macon, and Fire-* man W. E. Jones, of Atlanta, of train No. 24.

Only Reason Vacation Romances Do Not Last Is Because People Laugh, She Says. It’s a Poor Rule Thai Won’t Work Both Ways A GEORGIAN WANT AD is a good rule, for it gets work for workers and workers for work—ten ants for houses and houses for tenants. It buys or sells things. It brings loser and finder together. It introduces people whose interests are mutual even if their quests are diverse. Read for Profit Georgian “Want Ads” Use lor Results If Miss Gladys Watkins, one of At lanta’s prettiest society girls, had her way, the good old summer time would no longer he an open season for flir tations; friendships formed under the spell of the full moon and the moun tain breezes would he as lasting and as firm as friendships formed before an open Are, and sure-enough, honest- to-goodnesa romance would feel as much at home in a rowboat as it is in a sleigh. "Is there any good reason,” asked MiRs Watkins, “why every romance that begins during summer should be greeted with skepticism and labeled a 'summer flirtation?’ Why should not summer, the most beautiful season of the year, be as good a time as winter for forming everlasting friendships? 1 think it’s a shame that every time a girl meets a man at a summer re sort and speaks to him kifndly once <>r twice, it is set down as a flirta tion—when in reality they may like each other very much. “A girl meets many nice men at the seashore, in the mountains or where- ever people go to escape the heat. Yet if she likes one particular man and they go together much, people laugh and say, ‘Oh, it’s just another sum mer flirtation.’ And that laugh has destroyed many a romance. Knowing that no one will take them seriously the man and maid are not apt lo take themselves very seriously. “Summer ha? simply gotten a bad name and fan not get rid of It. A girl is not nearly so apt to believe the things a young man tells her in summer as she is to he lieve the same things in winter. And it is because she has hfard all her life that summer friendships were just flirtations.” Sheriff and Force On Annual Outing Sheriff C. W. Mangum and twelve deputies, with their families, are spending the day at Johnson's Ferry, on Roswell road, at their annual fish fry and barbecue.

July 26.—After a two-year search, extending across seven States, Mrs. Lily Lamar Mar tin, of Fulton County, Georgia, has located her* little daughter. Sarah Alice, at 1242 West Thirty-eighth street, Los Angeles. Humane Officer McLaughlin, at the request of the mother, applied for a writ of habeas corpus ordering the child’s father, A. R. Martin, to pro duce the child in Judge Wilbur’s courtroom Monday. Martin Is charged by McLaughlin with kidnaping the child from its mother after Its custody had been awarded Mrs. Martin. The Martins were divorced In Georgia April 18. 1911. The mother Is now in Dallas, Tex., but Is Jeaving for Los Angeles to regain possession of the child. The litigation with the little girl as the center dates back to Decem ber 28. 1908, when A. R. Martin filed a petition for divorce In the Fulton County courts. He charged his wife, Mrs. Lily Martin, with grossly inhu man and cruel treatment, asserting that she had pointed a pistol at him, tried to stab him with a butcher knife and had threatened to poison him by putting strychnine in his food. After this last threat, his petition alleged, he became afraid for his life and fled. He asserted also that she had threat ened to kill their daughter, Sarah Alice, who was 6 years old at the time of the filing of the petition. Mar tin asked for th e custody of the child. Mrs. Martin at once filed a cross bill, denying the charges made by her husband, and praying the court to allow her to keep the little girl. Both Martin and his wife were granted a divorce, and she was given a judg ment for alimony. The court order ed the child placed in the Baptist Orphans' Home, at Hapeville, but be cause of the crowded condition of the home the girl was placed temporarily in charge of her grandfather, F. L. Pye. A few months after the court’s de cision, while Mrs. Martin was visiting in Americus, Ga., Martin took out a writ of habeas corpus and took the | child away from Pye. He then left with the little Kiri for San Fran cisco, and the case began. Mrs. Mar tin trailed her husband through sev eral States in the West and across the entire continent, finally locating him at Los Angeles. Black Sleuth Trails Negro Slayer; Jailed COLUMBUS.

Old Joe Pottle, Solicitor General of the Ocmulgee Circuit, aided and abet ted by a dozen or more members cf the Legislature and as many more well-known citizens of Atlanta, not to mention an additional dozen or so or dinary folks, surprised Old Clayt Rob son. of the State at large, with a big barbecue party in the Kimball House Friday night, the occasion being Old Clayt Robson’s thirty-fifth birthday. Robson knows and is known b>‘ more people in Georgia than anybody. There Isn’t a town he hasn’t visited many times in his rounds of commer cial traveling, and there isn’t a com munity in which he is not well ac quainted. It Is said that he can use the long distance phone in Atlanta and sell more goods than th.ee or four ordi nary salesmen put together. This may or may not be so, but Robson doesn’t deny it. Old Clayt Caught Napping. Anyway, Old Joe Pottle loves Old Clayt Robson with a love that sur- passeth understanding, and so he came up from Milledgeville Thursday, armed with a barbecued shoat, a lot of fine, fat tomatoes, and other ap proved barbecue trimmings, and he gumshoed around town collecting up a bunch of Robson’s admits rs, with a whispered word to meet at the Kimball at 7:30 In the evening, there to surprise Old Clayt and make mer ry for a time. Just before the big “eats” was pulled off. everybody was wise but Robson. He was caught napping in the Kimball lobby about 7:15, and forthwith was rushed into the bai- quete hall, and things were explained. He admitted that it was hi* thirty- fifth birthday, however, ai d that, therefore, he was a legitimate object of a surprise party, and. besides, he liked surprise parties first-rate, an/ way they came. Presented With Umbrella. In the meantime, a lot of Old Joe Pottle’s guests had gumshoed arouni themselves during the afternoon, and during the progress of the festivities a handsome umbrella was presented to Mr. Robson as a token of every body’s good will and esteem, and as an evidence of their hopes for many I happy returns of the day. Mr. Robson’s speech of acceptance I was mostly smiles—his smiles con stituting his biggest asset, anyway! And Old Joe Pottle returned to Milledgeville to-day, a perfectly hap py and contented man!
