Fattersop, who was caught in a raid on a house in the restricted district last Thursday nigh% crushed and deeply mortified over the affair, has been joined by a faithful wife in a statement to the public, and in breaking the silence which he has steadfastly maintained admits that .”e was in a stupor from drink at the time of the arrest. He offers no apol ogy for his transgression, but makes a public pledge that such an occur rence shall not be repeated. The statements follow: I am leaving for home to-night with Mrs. Patterson, who has been with me for two days, and before going I wish to express , the deepest appreciation of us both to the friends and those who were not my friends in the past for their kind and generous sym pathy. For my own part in this un fortunate affair I have no excuse j, to offer and have borne the con demnation of my own conscience. My mission in Nashville was not political, as has been errone ously assumed, but purely legal, and while watting the return .of Mr. Nall, of Nashville, from Red Boiling Springs, who had in his possession certain papers which I was to examine, I began to drink, and continued until all sense of respsonblllty was gone. However gross my delinquency. I want the world to know that it is my last offense, and the weak ness will never be repeated which brought upon me and mine this deep humiliation and gave to my enemies an opportunity for re venge.

House Leader Calls Lobbyist Blackmailer to His Face Be fore Inquiry Committee. m m m m a m w Billy Smith’s Men and Gulls Will Clash in Double-Header To-Morrow. WASHINGTON, July 29.—Repre- sentative Underwood. Democratic leader of the House, appeared before the House Lobby Investigation Com mittee to-day and charged that Colo nel M. M. Mulhall, the lobbyist, was a blackmailer. The appearance of Underwood was an event not on the program. Hs came unexpectedly, and his usual bland smile was not on his face. In stead his eyes flashed fire and he was cleariy angry through and through. Underwood was not sworn, having become Involved in an argument with Senator Reed before Chairman Over man of the committee had an oppor- unlty to place the House leader undsr oath. “Is this Mulhall?” inquired Under wood, pointing his Anger at the lobby ist, who was sitting in the witness chair in an apparently disinterest ed attitude. Calls Him Blackmailer. "In the public interest,” declared Underwood, “I think men who take liberties with the name? of public men should be confronted and made to prove their charges. "I tegard this man as a blackmaile r He has even blackmailed the men wno employed him.” Underwood was angered because Mulhall had written in his letters that he had seen Underwood and obtained information from him about the make-up of the committees of the House. Underwood declared that Mulhall was giving false information to his employers. This testimony that Un derwood objected to was developed at the session of the committee yes terday. While Underwood was making his statement td the lobby committee. Colonel Mulhall denounced him for making accusations against him (Mulhall) and said he would call on the country to decide “which is the cleaner of us.” Declares Mulhall Lied. Mulhall wrote in a letter to J. P. Bird, previously read, that he had a long interview with Underwood re specting the chairmanship of the | chairmanship of the House Labor I Committee, This position was given to William B. Wilson, now Secretary of Labor. Mulhall said in this letter that he had learned from Underwood that Wilson first was considered for chair man of the Census Committee. “The whole statement is a lie out of whole cloth,” said Underwood. “I was chairman of the committee which named Mr. Wilson as chairman ot the House Labor Committee. There never was any question about Wilson being named chairman of the com mittee on Labor. “I never talked to this man in my life. The only time he ever saw me, apparently, was when I was walkirfg through a corridor of the House.” Senator Reed then asked Mulhall if he wished to say anything. “To the statement of the gentle man that I lied, I want to say that 1 met him in the back hall near the stairway of the Capitol,” replied Mul hall. “asked him questions and as I stated yesterday he answered them like a gentleman. I do not wish to contradict him and I do not want to cast any reflection upon him, but be fore the examination is over Mr. Un derwood will take back part of what he said.” MOBILE, ALA., July 29.—Rain decended in torrents about ten min utes before the game between the Crackers and the Gulls was scheduled to begin, and the contest—the third of the series of four—was called off as soon as the managers had looked over the playing field, rapidly becom ing a lake.

AT BOSTON— CHICAGO 000 BOSTON 000 000 001 Here are Tuesday’s important developments in the trial of Leo M. Frank on the charge of murdering Mary Phagan in the National Pencil Factory, Saturday, April 26. Newt Lee, negro night watchman at the pencil factory, leaves the stand after four hours and forty minutes of exami nation and cross-examination with the essential points of his story unshaken. Efforts to discredit the negro’s story result only in show ing several discrepancies in the story he told before the Cor oner’s jury and his testimony on the stand at the trial. All attempts to confuse Lee by telling him that the ste nographer’s report of the inquest has him making slightly dif ferent statements met invariably with his declaration that “they didn’t get it right down there." L. S. Dqbbs, police sergeant, testifies to the finding of the body of the Phagan girl and says that Lee had a ready in terpretation of the two notes when they were found by the dead body. City Detective Starnes testifies to finding bloodstains on second floor and Bays Frank was nervous the day after the crime. He says he found what he took to be fingerprints of blood on a door in the basement. Starnes is closely cross-questioned by the defense in an effort to show the spots he thought blood might have been aniline dye.

Trainman Killed by Lake Shore Bandits HAMMOND, IND., July J9—Ban dits held up a fast Chicago bound Lake Shore train near Pine Station, Ind., to-day. J. F. Roy, a trainman, was killed. Three men were arrested at East Chicago, Ind., aa suspects. part of the largest splotch was about as big an the palm of hi« hand. He also testified that he found blood about 40 or B0 feet from the dressing room toward the front of the build ing. and that he discovered what ha took to be finger-prints of blood on the door of the basement. The finger prints, he said, he chipped off and now has the chips of wood in his of fice. Starnes asserted that there were In dications that a white substance had been used with the evident purpose of eradicating what appeared to be bloodstains. The detective described Frank as nervous when he was brought down to the factory the morning after the crime Tells of Clook Tests. He said in reply to Solicitor Dor sey’s questions that he had witnessed the new night watchman make a complete series of punches in the time clock for an entire twelve hours with in a space of five minutes, in an ef fort to support the theory the State is expected to advance that Frank doc tored the time tape submitted to the police department which seemed to show that the nelght watchman, Lee, had made three skips. Attorneys Go After Loo. Newt Lee, night watchman at the National Pencil Factory, was har assed and assailed by counsel for Frank In a vain effort to win from him admissions adlng the theory that he was otherwise involved In the crime than as the man who found the body. Lee was on the stand from 9 o’clock to 11:40 a. m. However, through Lee and Ser geant L. S. Dobbs, one of the officers called to the factory the morning of Sunday, April 27, the attorneys for Frank laid the groundwork for the elaboration of their theory that Jim Conley was the murderer of Mary Phagan and that Lee assisted In writ ing the notes that were found by her body. From Sergeant Dobbs, Luther Ros- THE WEATHER. Forecast for Atlanta and Georgia—Local thundershow ers Tuesday and Wednesday. T ser, chief of counsel for Frank, ob* tained these admissions: Point* in Dobbs' Story. That Dee, ignorant and Illiterate, was able to decipher and explain In a flash the mysterious notes over which the officers had puzzled for several minutes. That Dee spoke up and said, refer ring to the words “night witch” in one of the notes: “That’s me, b03s; that means the night watchman. That the condition of Mary Pha- gan’s begrimed and bruised face gave the indication that the girl had been dragged along the dirt floor of the factory basement, although Jim Con ley, In his atory of his part in the crime, declared that he had carried the body to the trash heap in the rear of the basement. That Dobbs, with the aid of an elec tric flaahllght, was unable to tell whether the slain girl was white or colored until he had pulled down her stocking, although Lee had testified to being able D tell that the girl was white by the dim rays from hie smoxy lantern while he was standing at a distance or five or aix feet. Lee’s Story at Variance. That Dobba at the Coroner's inquest testified that he had had a Mr. Wil liams lie down in the place where Mary Phagan’a body was found and, taking the position Dee said he was in when he first saw the body, dis covered that, as a matter of fact, the body could hardly be seen from this point unless one was looking especial ly for it. Lee testified, under the cross-ex amination of Attorney Rosser: That the time he found the body was the first time he had gone far ther than 25 feet from the ladder in the front of the basement that night. That he knew it was a white wom an. although be did not approach nearer the body than five or six feet, and had no light except the dirty Ian- tern. That he recalled that the officers, with a flashlight, were unable to identify it as white or colored for some time. That he did not say, “That’s me, boss.” referring to one of the notes, but something to the effect that "They are trying to ut this on me.” After a short battle of words be tween Rosser and Solicitor Dorsey. Reuben R. Arnold, associated with Rosser, asked for the first time dur« ing the day to be heard, an£ plainly
