) NEW CHIEF IF 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. Ing on the subpena he received from the defence. “The investigation was made by the Pinkertons without fear ! or favor We uncovered a large | amount of evidence. Some of it was! valuable. Some of it was worthless in the light of present developments. Some of it pointed strongly toward the guilt of Frank. Other evidence could be interpreted as very damag ing to the negro. “Our function is to present all of this evidence it is called for In court, regardless of whom it may help or hurt. We may have our private opinion as to who Is 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 j of then otes found beside the body of j Alary Phagan. The copies were in the j 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 fs reported to be ready for immediate presentation. All of the witnesses havo been sum moned. All of the panel of 144 jurors, with the exception <-t' six or seven who could not be found, have been | notified to be on hand Monday. Both 9idos 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 w'hose testimony hap been care/ully 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 wmuld give at the trial. The prosecution has reserved their evidence to spring as a surprise dur ing the trial. On mese 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 Phagan’s body. The Solicitor is un derstood to have witnesses who wtll corroborate portions of Conley’s story which have been under the severest Are. Thinks Conley Storv True. The Solicitor several times has an nounced that he believes Conley is 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 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 < 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 Rosser remain a de**p mystery "Plant" Generally Suspected. Xo 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 a “plant" has prevailed from the time of their discovery. According to Bernard Chappel'e, rounsel for Newt Dee. the night witchman 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 Conlev 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 hia 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 tho murder.

Ads” JUse lor Results J If Miss Gladys Watkins, 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 as Arm as friendships formed before an open Are. and sure-enough, honest- to-goodness romance would feel as much at home in a row’boat 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?’ Why should not summer, the most beautiful season of tho 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- 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. The pleasure seeking officers left at 11 o’clock in automobiles, and do not expect to re turn until they have eaten all the Ash they can and have delivered all their extemporaneous speeches.

"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 she i« to be Move the same things In winter. And it is because she has heard all her life that summer friendships were just flirtations." Crook That Howard Caught Is Sentenced WASHINGTON, July 2«.—Henry M.

It is said that he can use the long distance phone in Atlanta and sell more goods than three 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 passed understanding, and so he came up from Millodgeville 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 admir-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. f 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 baa- quete hall, and things were explained. He admitted that it was hi® thirty- fifth birthday, however, aid that, therefore, he was a 1 ultimate object of a surprise party, and, besides, he liked surprise parties first-rate, any way they came. Presented With Umbrella. In the meantime, a lot of Old Joe Pottle’s guests had gumshoed arounl 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 NOMINATION BLANK I hereby nominate as the most beautiful girl in Atlanta: Name Address Only one of these blanks will be credited to any one contestant.
