Defense Fights Hard to Establish its Theory of Killing
Hatred Against Americans in Cap

RESULTS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.—
The administration to-day
decided to ignore entirely
the note sent by President
Huerta to the American gov
ernment and to direct Spe
cial Envoy Lind to proceed
to Mexico City without de
lay on his arrival at Vera
Cruz to-night, unless he be
held back by armed force.
“The President declines
to be bluffed,’’ stated a
prominent government offi
cial to-day.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 8.—With the
approval of Provisional President
Huerta, arms were issued to-day to
the students of the National Military
Academy, who yesterday drafted a
resolution praising Huerta for de
claring John Lind, the special Amer
ican envoy, persona non grata to the
Mexican Government.
A number of residents in the Amer
ican colony, who have fortunes in
vested in Mexico, are planning to
make a demonstration Sunday When
protests will be lodged against the
action of President Wilson in sending
a personal representative to Mexico
City and urging that the Mexican
Government be upheld.
Foreign Minister Aldape and other
members of the Cabinet are doing all
In their power to arouse the patriot
ism and enthusiasm of the people.
Meetings of young hot bloods, who
are standing up for President Huerta
in his defiance of the Stars and
Stripes, are being encouraged.
Mexican secret service agents have
been detailed to watch every move
ment that Mr. Lind makes here and
the envoy will be under constant sur
veillance.
The newspapers to-day carried
flaming stories of “Yankee interfer
ence,” and warned the State Depart
ment to recall Mr. Lind from Vera
Cruz and not allow him to come to
Mexico City.
Direful consequences are promised
if President Wilson and Secretary*
Bryan continue their present course
of trying to settle the internal af
fairs of Mexico while withholding of.

ministration.
’ All the papers carry warm words ot
praise for Huerta and promise that
he will stand line a rock in behalf of
his policy of •'Mexicans for Mexican
affairs.”
United States warships in the har
bor at Vera Cruz were in wireless
communication with the New Hamp
shire, upon which Mr. Lind, is com
ing. and it is expected that the New
Hampshire will reach Vera Cruz about
9 o’clock to-night.
Some Would Ignore Lind.
There was a gathering of Cabinet
Ministers and Huerta a therents n
Congress at the National Palace to
day. at which the existing American-
Mexican situation was thoroughly
discussed. Some are for completely
ignoring Mr. Lind, while the radicals
insist that he shall be expelled un-

United States Senator Victim of
Pneumonia After Nine Days’
Illness at Capital.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.—Senator
Joseph F. Johnston, of Alabama, died
at 9 o'clock this morning at his apart
ment in the Brighton.
Senator Johnston had been ill for
eight days, suffering from pneumonia.
As a mark of respect to the memory
of Senator Johnston, the Senate ad
journed almost immediately after as
sembling at noon.
Senator Overman offered a resolu
tion for the appointment of a com
mittee of Senators to take part in
the funeral ceremonies and to accom
pany the body to Birmingham, where
burial is to be made.
The Vice President appointed the
following committee: Senators Bank-
head, of Alabama; Bacon, Overman.
Chamberlain, Hitchcock, Clarke; of
Arkansas; Vardaman, Johnson, Swan
son, Smith, of South Carolina; Thorn
ton, Warren, Bristow, Galllnger, Ca
tron, Bradley and Kenyon.
The funeral party will leave here
to-night, and is expected to reach
Birmingham to-morrow night. The
funeral will take place Sunday morn
ing.
Senator Joseph Forney Johnston,
of Birmingham, was born in North
Carolina in 1843. He served in the
Confederate army from the begin
ning of the war to its conclusion, and
was wounded four times. He rose
from a private to the rank of captain,
and was frequently mentioned hon
orably for gallant conduct.
Senator Johnston served four years
as Governor of Alabama, before his
election to the Senate in 1907. His
first election to the Senate was to the
unexpired term of Senator E. W-
Pettus, deceased. He w T as re-elected
in 1909 to his present term.
Senator Johnston's death at this
time undoubtedly will 1 ring about an
acute political crisis in Alabama. His
seat was being contested at the time
of his death by Congressman R. P.
Hobson, and the fight between them
had grown very bitter. It is practi
cally certain that Hobson will not be
permitted, now that Johnston is dead,
to have the succession uncontested.
There has been talk of Congress
man Underwood as a candidate
against Mr. Hobson, and the death of
Senator Johnston likely will revive
that.
His immediate successor will be
named by Governor O’Neal, which
means that Mr. Hobson will not get
the immediate appointment.
He had been in poor health for sev
eral weeks.
Mrs. Johnston was with her hus
band when he died, as well as Forney
Johnston, his son, who arrived from
his home in Birmingham yesterday.

After a bitter fight In which Rep
resentative Wohiwender, of Musco
gee. charged under influence by ad
vocates of the measure, the House
of Represenativcs Friday morning
passed the Garlington medical bill,
known as the medical practices act,
by a vote of 121 to 3, amended so as
t prevent the members of the allo
pathic school of medicine having a
majority of the proposed State Board
of Medical Examiners. The original
bill provided for a board of five
al’opaths, two eclectics and one
homeopath.
The original bill, it was alleged by
its opponents, was drawn by repre
sentatives of the American Medical
Association, referred to on the floor
of the House as the “medical trust.”
It was favorably reported by the
committee, and a minority Teport
condemning the bill was offered Dy
R. J. Arnold, of Henry County, a
member of the Hygiene and Sanita
tion Committee.
Chairman Breaks Tie.
Representative Hardeman, of Jef

chair during the early part of the
consideration of the bill, broke a t.e

Spalding to add two more members
to the eight provided by the original
bill. The chairman’s vote carried the
amendment.
The bill as amended and passed
provides for a State board to con

Christian Scientists Not Barred.
Prior to the discussion of the bill
the impression was that it would bar
Christian Scientists and mental heal
ers. An amendment was introduced
by McCarthy, of Chatham, providing
for this school of healing, but it
was lost. The bill, however, takes
caroof them in the following language:
“The provisions of this bill shall not
be construed as to interfere with the
practices and beliefs of any religious
sect, nor with the practice of osteo
paths.”
Garlington, of Richmond, the author
of the bill, asserted that the minority
report submitted by Arnold, of Henry,
was drawn by physicians opposed to
the passage of the bilL
That the door leading from the entryway on the
first floor of the National Pencil Factory, which had
been nailed up since the first of January, was found
broken open shortly after the murder of Mary Phagan
was the startling testimony of N. V. Darley at the trial
of Leo Frank Friday afternoon.
No testimony cf this nature had been presented
before and n ointimation of such a discovery had been
made during the investigation of the murder mystery.
Its production, if the statements remain uncontrovert
ed, opens up th epossibility that the murderer of Mary
Phagan attacked her on the first floor, broke open the
door into the rear of the building and threw the body
down one of two trap doors, one of which opens onto a
. | chute and the ether onto a steep stairway.
The defense did not appear to be abandoning its theory that
Conley might have attacked Mary Phagan and thrown her down
the leevator shaft only a few feet distant or down the scuttlehole
right by the elevator. On the contrary, Reuben Arnold in ques
tioning Darley and other witnesses emphasized the ease with
which such a deed might have been accomplished. It seemed to
be the effort of the defense at this time not to center upon any one
theory, but to show the jurors that the negro might have perpe
trated the crime and disposed of the body in any one of four or
five ways.
Darley, in advancing the striking possibility that the body had
been carried through the dour on the first floor into the rear of
the building, said that the door had been nailed up again a few
days after the crime as mysteriously as it had been broken open.
Darley Suspected Conley.
Darley said that he had kept watch of employees after the
murder and that his suspicion immediately had fastened upon Con
ley because of the negro’s peculiar actions. He said he had de
tailed the day watchman to montain an espionage over Conley.
C. B. Dalton’s story recevied a severe blow at the hands of
Darley. Darley said that no negro night watchman had been em
ployed at the factory before April, 1913. Dalton tlod of night
visits at the factory prior to this time and said he was met by a
negro night watchman.
Solicitor Dorsey, cross-examining Darley, made the witness
admit that detectives had been in the factory after the crime and
might themselves nave broken open the door.
The solicitor has brought out that if the body had been thrown
down the chute in the rear of the factory, it would have dropped
behind a pile of boxes where it would have been more effectively 1
hidden than where it was discovered by Newt Lee. The solicitor
claimed that the trap door over the rear stairway into the base
ment was nailed.
The attorneys for Frank vigorously assailed Friday the stories
of two of the State’s of two of the State’s negro witnesses, Jim;
Conley, the accuser of Frank, and Albert McKnight, who said he
saw Frank at the Selig home Saturday afternoon, April 26.
The motorman and conductor of the street car on which Mary
Phagan is believed to have come to town the day of her death both
testified thafi they knew the girl and that she was on their cau
which arrived at Broad and Hunter Streets not before 12:07
o’clock. She stayed on the car, they said, until the car reached*
Broad and Hunter Streets, which was about 12:10 o’clock. Con
sequently, it would have been impossible for her to reach the fac
tory before 12:11 or 12:12 o’clock.
If the testimony of the two street car employees is accurate,
it completely upsets Jim Conley's story that he saw Mary Phagan
enter the factory before Monteen Stover came in. By the Stover
girl’s own testimony she entered the factory at 12:05 o'clock and
left at 12:10 o’clock. Thus, she had gone by the time the Phagan
girl arrived.
It also serves to destroy the significance of the Stover girl's
testimony that Frank was absent from his office when she ar
rived there. As Mary Phagan had not yet arrived, according to
the testimony of the street car men, it could hardly be regarded
as a suspicious circumstance that Frank was not in his office, if)
it develops that he really was not. The defense also contends that
Miss Stover, who admits she did not enter the inner office, couldi
have looked through the doorway without seeing Frank.
Soon after court reconvened i of No. 391 Peachtree street, man-
in the afternoon, H. J. Hinchey,
