Terminal Struck Again in Freak
Storm Which Sweeps Only
Downtown Section of City.
In a severe thunderstorm and elec
trical disturbance Thursday after
noon lightning knocked the remaining
tower off the Terminal Station of the
Southern Railway. There were for
merly two towers, but one was de
molished by lightning two weeks ago.
No one was injured by the stroke,
though many people in the station
were slightly jarred, and there was
panic in the big shed.
A peculiar coincidence was that Dr.
W. A. Mann, whose office is in the
Rhodes Building, on Marietta street,
saw the first tower knocked off two
weeks ago, and from the sam e win
dow saw the second one destroyed.
* The storm was severe in the heart
of the city, but at the ball park there
was no rain.
The lightning played particular
havoc ip the neighborhood of the At
lanta University, wrecking a score of
dwellings and killing Florence Gre^n,
a negro girl, at 23 Moughorn street.
The girl was sitting in the front
room of her home, and Dr. Frank
Eskridge, w r ho was called, was
astounded to find her alive. She lived
for twenty minutes after being struck.
Her sister and A. G. Hicks, also a ne
gro, were badly hurt.

Murderer of Dallas Typist Ex
pected to Seek Last Look at
Victim——Teeth Prints Clew.
DALLAS, TEX.. July 81.—Love let-
ters written to Miss Florence Brown
opened a new line of investigation to
day in the most puzzling murder in
the history of this section. The let
ters were guarded by the police, and
nothing of the contents nor the iden
tity of the girl’s admirer was re
vealed.
The body of the murdered stenog
rapher was buried to-day. A half
holiday was declared in most of the
stores in Dallas. Chief of Police Ryan
detailed every officer that could be
spared for duty at the funeral. He
expected the murderer to be there.
“To the man capable of such a
hideous murder/' said the chief, “the
attraction to the church would be so
great that he could not resist, if he
was within a reasonable distance.
Guard for Mob Violence,
“That mysterious charm that
haunts the vicious murderer will im
pel him to try to have one more
glimpse of the body from which he
drove the life.”
Preparations were made to guard
against mob activity if the slayer
of the stenographer is captured at the
funeral. It was certain that thou
sands would be in the vicinity of the
Brown home and the church. The
men of Dallas County have discussed
what they believe should be done to
to slayer of the young stenographer,
who had -scores of friends and no
enemies.
Father Watches by Body.
To-day in the home of the Brown
family the mutilated body of the girl
lay in the only quiet room. The house
was besieged by hundreds of curious.
The roms were filled kith sympathetic
ic friends and mourning relatives.
The girl’s father, Policeman Brown,
who walked the beat on which the
office of the real estate firm is lo
cated, remained beside the casket.
He was the first to reach her side
when the murder was reported to the
police. He has been unconsolable for
more than 100 hours.
Missing Tooth a Clew.
The man who is convicted of the
murder of the girl will have one lees
than a normal number of teeth. Im
pressions of the marks on Miss \
Brown’s arms showed they were made
by teeth set In the strong jaws of a
male. One tooth was missing.

Here are the important developments of Thursday in the trial
of Leo M. Frank:
Harry Scott, Pinkerton detective, is accused of having
“trapped” the prosecution by Solicitor Dorsey, when he testifies
that Frank was not nervous when he first saw him.
He is fiercely grilled by the defense after having testified to
finding blood spots on the second floor, wiped over with a white
substance. He testifies in addition that Herbert Haas, attorney
for Frank, asked him to give him reports on his investigations
before he gave them to the police and that he refused. He admits
making statements that he omitted at the Coroner’s inquest.
Monteen Stover testifies that she did not see Frank in his
office when she entered the factory at 12:05. She admits not
having seen bureau and safe in the room.
R. P. Barrett, a machinist in the factory, declares that he
found blood spots, apparently swept over with a white substance,
and a portion of pay envelope on the second floor, as well as
strands of hair in a lathe.
Mell Stanford, an employee, testifies to having seen the spots.
Dr. Claude Smith testifies that spots on chips taken from t.-jt
second floor were blood.
E. F. Holloway, State’s witness and foreman at the National
Pencil Factory, gave the first evidence directly contradictory to
the sensational affidavits of Jim Conley Thursday afternoon when
he testified that he saw Leo M. Frank return to the factory from
Montague Selig’s home the morning of the crime and that no one
was with him.
Conley swore that Frank met him on the street and that he
(Conley) returned to the plant with the accused superintendent.
E. F. Holloway, day watchman at the National Pencil Fac
tory and one of the State’s witnesses in the Frank trial, declared
Thursday afternoon that no one was with Leo Frank at 11 o’olook
the morning of April 26 when the superintendent returned to the
factory from his visit to Montag Brothers, at Nelson and For*
syth streets.
This asseration was in direct contradiction to the sensational
affidavit of the negro sweeper, Jim Conley, who said that he met
Frank at Nelson and Forsyth street and accompanied him back
to the factory.
Holloway’8 testimony was
favorable to the defense and
during the direct examinaiton it
was of such a nature that Solic-
itor-Dorsey made the open dec
laration that he had been trap
ped and that the witness’ state
ments were not at all what he
had been led to expect frofn an
affidavit Holloway had signed
May 12.
The factory watchman, while he
was being quizzed by Attorney A-
nold, said that it was nothing unusual
to see red spots about the floor near
the ladies’ dressing room and that it
would have been more a matter of
remark if the spots had not been
there.
He also stated that the elevator
was not locked and that one was
barred from entering it on the first
or second floor only by the sliding
doors. He told Solicitor Dorsey that
the power box, which had been found
unlocked when the officers visited the
factory Sunday morning, had been
left unlocked by himself Saturday
through a mistake.
It was this statement that led Dor
sey to declare that he had been
trapped. The Solicitor said that Hol
loway on May 12 had sworn that he
kept the power box, which controls
the elevator, locked all jf the time.
Holloway explained this by saying
that he had forgotten that on Satur
day morning on the day of the mur
der he had sawed some boards for
Harry Denham and Arthur White and
had opened the power box for this
purpose, forgetting to lock it after
wards.
Dr. Claude A. Smith, City Bacter
iologist, testified Thursday afternoon
that one of the chips taken from the
second floor of the National Pencil
factory had upon it blood corpuscles;
however, he could not say they were
the corpuscles of human blood, mak
ing the statement that it wj.s impos
sible to distinguish between human
and animal corpuscles after they were
dry.
Dr. Smith said of the bloody shirt
found at the house of Newt Lee that
it apparently never had ben ,worn
when the blood was placed upon It.
He declared that there was no odor
except of a freshly laundered gar
ment and that the Inside of the neck
band was not at all soiled.
The expert witness added that the
blood on the shirt appeared to hare
been originally on the inside of the
shirt and to have seeped outward
through the material. In his opin
ion, the garment had been used to
wipe up a quantity of blood.
Rosser Attacks Smith’s Evidence.
Attorney Rosser at once attacked
Dr. Smith’s finding of red corpuscles
on one of the chips. He made the
bacteriologist admit that the blood
might have been that of a mouse,
killed there, ae well as that of a hu
man being. He forced Dr. Smith to
say that he had found only four or
five corpuscles on the one chip. Ros
ser ridiculed th*. idea that any sig
nificance could be attached to the
finding of four or five corpuscles on
one chip, when the other chips stained
in the same manner revealed no
chemical Indication of the presence
of blood.
“If blood Is present the corpuscles
can be distinguished for a matter of
years, so long as the blood is not dis
solved or washed away, can’t they?”
shouted Rosser.
Dr. Smith conceded that this is
true.
The bloodstained garments of Mary
Phagan were shown at this time and
Frank’s wife displayed emotion.
R. P. Barrett, a machinist on the
second floor of the National Pencil
Factory, gave unexpected and im
portant evidence for the State. He
told for the first time of finding be
tween April 28 and 30 part of a pay
envelope under the machine used by
Mary Phagan, who was murdered in
the factory April 26.
