2 THE ATLANTA (iEOKUiAN L\D NEWS. NEW CHIEF OF ATLANTA GIRL PLEADS FORSUMMER ROMANCE MISS GLADYS WATKINS. Charges Breach of Faith With the Police and Questionable Pro cedure in Phagan Case. Continued from Pafe One. this evidence a.«* it is railed for in rourt. regardless of whom it may help or hurt. We mav have our private opinion as to who ig the guilty per son, but this shall not be allowed to color the testimony as it is given in court. It is 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 otes found beside the body <>f Mary Phagan. The copies were in the possession of Solicitor Dorsey, who readily acceded to the request. The 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 ready for immediate presentation. All of the witnesses have been sum moned. All of the panel of 144 jurors, with the exception of six or seven | who could not be found, have been I notified to be on hand Monday. Both Sides Getting Ready. Prosecution and defense 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. The*e witnesses have come to his office from time 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 be called to bear out different portions of the negro Conley’s affidavit. In which was told the story of the disposal of Mary Phagans body. The Solicitor Is un derstood to have witnesses who will corroborate portions of Conley’s story which have been under the severest Are. Thinks Conley Story True. The Solicitor several times has an nounced that he believes Conley .s telling the truth in the essential statements of his affidavit. He has strengthened his belief by interview ing many people who were In a posi tion to know of different circum stances mentioned in Conley’s story The only possibility of an alteration in the State’s theory is that the time element may be modified in certain respects. Similar surprises may be expected from the defense. Attorney Rosier has not been communicative with the newspaper men. The few bits of his evidence that have become known to the public were oot lined In spite i f 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 a matter of con jecture. The general plan of Frank's defense can be surmised, but the con tents of the hundred or more affida vits in the possession of Attorney Roaser remain a deep mysterv "Plant” Generally Suspected. No one expects at this time that the pay envelope, thV 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 a "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 eoon were taken off the Phngan 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 lf>0 witnesses al ready have been summoned by the defense According to Bernard Chappelle. counsel for Newt Lee, 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 Lee had collapsed while being grilled with the sweeper and called up Mr. Arnold. At Ills suggestion. Arnold visited Lee at the jail and there Lee is said to have re affirmed his previous statement that he did not see Conley the day of the murder. * It's a Poor Rule Thai Won ! 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 ior Profit Georgian “Want Ads” i Use for Results Only Reason Vacation Romances Do Not Last Is Because People Laugh, She Says. If Miss Gladys Wrtkins, one of At lanta’s prettiest society girls, had her way, the good old summer time would no longer be an open season for flir tations; friendships formed under the spell of the full moon and the moun tain breezes would be as lasting and ns Ann as friendships formed before an open tire, and sure-enough, honest- to-goodness romance would feel as much at home in a rowboat as it is in a sleigh. "Is there any good reason,” asked Miss Watkins, "why every romance that begins during summer should be greeted with skepticism and labeled a ’summer flirtation?’ Wbv 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 or twice, it is set down as a flirta tion—when in reality they may like eaeh 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 to take themselves very seriously. "Summer has simply gotten a bad name and can not get rid of it. A girl is not nearly so apt to believe the things a young man tells her In summer as sh« la to be lieve the same things In winter. And it is because she lias heard 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.
