THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS III FOR OUTER BUTTLE OVER NEGRO CONLEY’S STORY Continued From Page 1. o’clock the Monday mornlnp after th* crime, he now was not Bure that it was not 10 or 10:30. Rosser, seeking to discredit Black’s previous testimony and his memory, drove Black to admit that he couM not remember any of the details n! Frank’s attire the morning that Black visited the Frank home, and that oe was not sure at all that Frank could not have seen the face of the Phagan girl when he visited the morgue Sun day morning. Shal^y Testimony. Black swore when Dorsey w^s ques tioning him that Frank put on his collar, tie and coat on the first floor of his home, but when Rosser got hold of him he was Just as willing to admit that It might have been in the cellar or on the roof, and the remain der of his testimony became shaky to the same extent. Taking up a number of the details of Black’s testimony on direct exam ination. Rosser made the perspiring detective admit that he was not cer tain of a single one of them. None too fluent and assured under the friendly interrogation of the Solici tor General, Black instantly became halting and confused when Rosser let loose with his fire of disconcerting questions. The detective's features flushed crimson. He mopped Ills face which was running with perspiration Then he held his handkerchief up by two of Its corners to dry in the breeze from an electric fan. Before he could accomplish -this. It must be applied again to his liquid features. He tripped and stumbled over hit answers. He became hopelessly mud dled as to times and conversations. He was groping, but his memory turned traitor. The "Plant” Story. The climax came when Solicitor Dorsey came out with hts declaration that the bloody shirt found at Newt Lee’s home was a "plant," and that It was Inspired by Frank or persons In terested In Frank. He said that he Intended to show that Black had gone to Lee’s home to make a search only after Frank had Informed him that several punches were missing from the time tape taken out of the regis ter clock, and that Lee would have had time to go home between punches The Solicitor added that he proposed to show that the only interpretation of Herbert Haas' demand for a search of Frank s house was in order to open up the way for a search of Lee’s house by the detectives. It took only a few moments to demonstrate that the Solicitor was leaning on a broken reed. Black already had passed through the ordeal •of more than an hour's grilling by Rosser and Dorsey had him In the Stole to Keep Family And Enjoy Gay Life CHICAGO. July 31.—Richard Zen- kers, member of an old French-Ger man family and a graduate of Heidel berg, was being held to-day for an embezzlement of 37,000. Zenkers confessed he could not make his 3200 a month pay the ex penses of himself, his wife and his five children, and his activity In the “white light" district. 800-Year-Old Turtle Given Home in Zoo NEW YORK. July 31.—A 464- pound turtle, said to be 800 years old. was presented to the Central Park zoo by Benjamin Katzenstein. The turtle was brought here from the California coast on a tramp steamer. Don’t Be “Grouchy” just because your stomach has “gone back” on you. There’s a splendid chance for it to “come back” with the aid of HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS It soothes and tones the tired nerves, promotes bowel regularity, aids di gestion and will help you back to health. Trv it. re-direct. Black gave only a half hearted and half-certain assent to Dorsey's inquiry if these circum stances did not transpire before the search of Lee’s house. But when Rosser charged at him again even this fragment of memory and assurance had departed from him. "Don’t you know, Black, that, as a matter of fact, that shirt wa« found before Frank ever said anything to you about the misses in that time tape?*’ Rosser bellowed at the red faced, wilting detective. Waited Six Minutes. Black opened his mouth, but no answer came forth. "Don’t you know it?” persisted the lawyer. Still no answer. Rosser drew his watch from hlv pocket and held it on the witness. Six minutes pasted and the silence con tinued. Judge Roan started to speak "Give him time to answer, your honor,” interrupted Rosser grimly, still holding the watch. "I don’t remember.” finally came from the lips of the witness. A moment later Black gave up. "I’m all crossed up” he said. “I don’t know where I’m at.” Rosser laughed. “Come down,” he said. “Come down," echoed the Solicitor J. M. Gantt, discharged employee of the pencil factory, followed Black on the stand. Gantt’s most Important piece of testimony was that Frank, contrary to the representations he made the morning after the murder, knew Mary Phagan bv name. He knew this, he said, because one day when he had been talking with the Phagan girl Frank said to him: “You seem to know Mary pretty well, Gantt.” Rosser brought out in his cross-ex amination of Gantt that the young man had failed to tell «f this alleged incident when he was before the Coroner’s jury when he was asked if Frank knew the girl. Say Frank Was Nervous. The bulk of the State’s evidence Wednesday was only for the purpose of showing that Frank was nervous, trembling and pale on the afternoon of the tragedy and the next morning when he was taken to the morgue and to the factory by the detectives. Gantt testified that Frank seemed nervous and apprehensive Saturday night at 6 o’clock when Gantt went to the factory to get same shoes he had left there when discharged. “Boots” Rog ers and Detectives Starnes and Black testified that he acted In ft nervous and aglt^ed manner the next morn ing. Rogers and Black declared that Frank would not look on the face of the dead girl when they took him to the undertaking rooms.

COLUMBIA, S. C„ July 31.—Major Francis Douglass Walker, 72 years old, Is dead at the Home for Confed erate Soldiers here. He was a mem ber of the Pinckney family and fought In many btg battles of the war between the states. After the war he went to New York City to enter business and was for a time prominent In social circles. In 1908, after a series of financial losses, he was sent to Blackwell's Island .n vagrant. Major Walker was sent here by a group of wealthy New York women of Southern birth, who arranged a ba zaar in his benefit at the Waldorf-As toria. Major Walker was a cadet at the Military Academy In Charleston when the first Confederate gun was fired at Fort Sumter. He Jumped frtJa the lassroom and ran to the water’s edge, four classmates w’lth him. There was no boat, so they swam half a mile to the Ironclad Battery w'hlch helped batter the Federal fortress Into sub mission. Flogs Rival on Stage. In the winter of 1877 Walker was the chief actor in an event that stirred Brooklyn's society folk and became a national sensation. One night in the old Academy of Music, where the Amaranth Society was giv ing an amateur performance, Walker jumped on the stage and horsewhip ped a player who was his rival for the love of a young widow. Walker had warned him not to appear in the same cast with the woman. The man Walker whipped later became vice president of one of the most impor tant corporations in the world and the husband of the young woman. Walker was arrested for assault. After a trial he was sentenced to 60 davs In the penitentiary on Crow Hill. His lawyers soon got him out of Jail and a petition was started o riAV’S MARKET OPENING his behalf, which was signed by Hen- iU-JJAx ° urr,mitu ry Ward Beecher. A letter from Gov ernor Hampden to Governor Robinson turned the tide in his favor. He did not return to the penitentiary. He traveled for many years and then poverty overtook him. Asks Shelter: Sent to Jail. One night in the fall of 1908 a tall man with snow white hair stood be fore Magistrate Tighe in the Adams police court In Brooklyn and asked for 8 night’s lodging. It was Major Walker. The Magistrate could do nothing but commit him to the pen itentiary for six months. Then, through the co-operation of the Con federate Veteran Camp of New York, and the U. S. Grant Post. G. A. R., of Brooklyn, the Major was trana ferred to the Kins’s County Alms house. Wealthy women of Southern birth heard of Walker’s troubles. They or ganized a bazaar at the Waldorf-As toria on January 14. 1909, and $3,000 was raised for his benefit With this money he was sent to the Soldiers' Home at Columbia, where friends got a clerical -'osition for him. Major Walker had outlived ell his relatives. Plennie Minor, chief deputy sheriff, has a man’s sized ,job on his hands and he handles It with the aid of a red bandanna handkerchief and a pocketknife. More formidable armament has been Invented, but the oriflammed kerchief and the barlow blade are all that Plennie Miner requires to per form a duty that many would deem arduous, all of which shows that the deputy sheriff Is a man of resource and ability. It is his job to keep order in Judge Roan’s courtroom, while Leo Frank is being tried as the slayer of Mary Phagan. It’s a real job, when it is considered that during each day at least two thousand persons attend the trial or try to and each one looks to Plennie Minor, to see to their per sonal accommodation. Everything is Up to Him.

These things were supposed tot impress on every one the majesty of the law. A red bandanna can never rank with a periwig as an emblem of authority. A pocketknife is hardly in the mace's class. But Minor keeps the law’s su premacy as firmly fixed as the rock of Gibraltar, which shows there is considerably more to him than the bandanna and the knife. When he wipes his rather high brow with the bandanna, spectators at the Frank trial turn toward him with respect. When he raps on a chair leg with his knife, hyjlf jjie courtroom ’s as quiet as a drum with a hole in it. He Has Other Resources.

LONDON, July 31.—The foreign office to-day announced that England would not participate in the Panama Exposition in San Francisco in 1915. There is considerable mystery in diplomatic circles over England’s re fusal, but outside of the bare an nouncement made by the foreign office, no further statement was is sued. It is generally believed, however, that England adopted this attitude because she still resents the treat ment accorded her by the United States in the Panama Canal tolls con troversy. .
