THE RIDDLE OF THE CLOCK
IN THE PHAGAN MYSTERY
Jim Conley swears Mary Phagan went up the stairs of the
National Pencil factory and was murdered before Monteen
Stover arrived. He says he saw Miss Stover go up and leave.
Monteen Stover, State’s witness, swears she arrived at
12:05.
George Epps, State’s witness, swears he and Mary Phagan
arrived at Marietta and Forsyth streets at 12:07.
The car crew, defense’s witnesses, swear Mary arrived at
Broad and Marietta at 12:0714 and at Broad and Hunter at
12:10.
If Mary Phagan was at Marietta and Forsyth at 12:07, as
the State says, or at Broad and Hunter at 12:10, as the defense
says, how could she ha^ve preceded Monteen Stover, as Jim
Conley says, up the factory stairs, when Miss Stover was in the
factory at 12:05?
What’s the answer?
Mary boards the Coop
er street car at 11:50,
according to wit
nesses for
both State
and de
fense.
Monteen Stover enters
factory at 12:05 and
leaves at 12:10.

tTick-tock! Tirk-tock!
{fork to the tote of the old hull clock!
Wick-toek! Tirk-tock!
IT h is is the tale of the clock!
—Old English Ballad.
This Is a tale of an office clock and
ft motorman’s watch—an office clock
in the National Pencil Factory, the
first requisite of which, it being a
“time” clock. Is accuracy, and a mo
torman’s watch.
And this* is the story of a clock that
may or may not mean life and liberty
and a restored good name to Leo
Frank, or—a fate infinitely worse
than mere death itself!
It is a story involving a young busi
ness man of repute and high stand
ing, a college graduate and a husband,
a brave, womanly little girl, foully
murdered, a motorman known to
many Atlantans, a newsboy not 90
well known, a disinterested working
girl, a negro sweeper a confessed ac
cessory to murder, the dead girl’s
mother—and an office clock.
What does the story demonstrate 7
That shall be for the reader to say.
Here is the story:
What the State Contends.
The State of Georgia is contending
that Leo Frank murdered on April
£6. before the hour of 12:05 in the
afternoon, Mary Phagan. a 14-year-
bld working girl, employed in the Na
tional Pencil Factory, of which Frank
was the superintendent.
It cites, among others, to bear out
Jts contention, James Conley, a negro
rweeper in the factory, and Monteen
Stover an emoloyee of the factory.
Miss Stover is a disinterested wit
hers—Conley not only is the star
witness against Frank, but is inter
ested in fixing the murder upon
Frank.
Here is what the State, by Its own
witnesses, asserts:
Jim Conley swears that a few min
utes before Miss Monteen Stover came
into the factory—Miss Stover herself
^wearing that she entered at 12:05—
Mary Phagan entered and passed up
stairs and into Leo Frank’s office.
Miss Stover, asked how she was
positive as to the time she went in
and the time she came out, stated
that she looked at the time clock botn
as she came in and as she went out.
That fixes the time of her coming
and going definitely and exactly.
It was before Miss Stover came in
that Conley swears Mary Phagan
came in. Therefore, Mary Phagan
must have arrived at the factory, ac
cording to Conley, at least before
12:05, the moment Miss Stover came
In.
Before Miss Stover Entered.
But after Mary came in, and before
Miss Stover came in. the murder,
still according to Conley, had been
effected.
For (a) after Mary went upstairs
and before Mins Stover came in, Con
ley (b) heard pattering footsteps
toward the rear of the building, wher?
(c) he says the body was found by
him later, and after that (d) a
scream, and then (e) a period of
silence.
All of this, according to Conley be
fore Monteen Stover entered the fac
tory—that is, before 12:05 certainly—
and, considering the things Conley
swears happened, several minutes be
fore 12:05, necessarily.
Mrs. Coleman, Mary’s mother,
swears that Mary left home “about
11:45” in the morning, and George
Epps'swears he joined her on the car
at 11:50, for he looked at a clock at
home just before boarding the car,
and that he and Man- arrived at
Marietta and Forsyth streets at 12:07,
the latter hour not definitely fixed in
his mind.
Motorman Remembers Time.
The motorman ( on that car. how
ever, who mvears he knew Mary Pha
gan. and had seen her board his car
frequently, and remembers seeing her
board that particular car on that par
ticular day, says that the car arrived
at Marietta and Forsyth at 12: 7*4, is
that Is the time it is scheduled to ar
rive there, and he was running on
time that day.
The motorman swears Mary and a
companion got off at Hunter and
Broad about 12:10. that being a few
minutes’ farther run than Marietta
and Forsyth. The conductor corrob
orates the motorman in an additional
‘Statement that the car was not run
ning ahead of schedule, the conduc
tors being particularly required by
the company not to run ahead of
time.
Mary Phagan left the street car at
12:10. still a block and a half from
the pencil factory.
If she walked directly to the fac
tory, she could not have reached
there before 12:12, in any event.
If the little victim of this tragedv.
Mary Phagan. therefore, DID NOT
REACH THE FACTORY UNTIL
MANY MINUTES AFTER CONLEY
SWEARS SHE DID GET THERE.
AND UNTIL AT LEAST TWO MIN
UTES AFTER MONTEEN STOVER
HAD DEPARTED. AND UNTIL
AFTER CONLEY SWEARS HE HAD
HEARD THE FOOTSTEPS AND
THE SCREAM. HOW CAN CON
LEY’S STORY RE TRUE?
Slain Before She Arrived?
In other words, how could Mary
Phagan have been murdered before
she arrived at the factory?
Remember, too. that when Frank
was asked at the Coroner’s inquest as
to tht* time of Mary Phagan’s arrival,
he said that it^was after 12, became
the noon whistle had blown some time
before—that she might have arrived
at 12:10 or. maybe later perhaps ap
late as 12:20 or 12:25.
Conley, also, in fixing the time of
Marv Phagan’s arrival at the factory,
said it was soon after the noon whis
tle blew, therefore, a little after 12
—thus placing Mary’s arrival between
12 and the time of Monteen Stover’s
arrival, which wan 12:05.
Now then, take your pencil and
paper, and figure this problem out for
yourself.
Can you reconcile Conley’s story
with the other things proved, in the
main, by the State’s own witnesses?

Absence of Alienists and
The Hypothetical Question
Distinguishes Frank Trial
By 0. B. KEELER.
HAZELHURST HOME BURNS.
HAZELHURST.—The residence jf
R. T. Williams burned this morning
at 2 o’clock, the family barely escap
ing. The loss is $3,800 with $1,500
insurance. Tne fire originated about
the kitchen.
There are two things about the
Frank trial that entitle it to dis
tinguished consideration.
Thus far not a single alienist has
been called to bat, and only the com
mon or domesticated type of the
dread Hypothetical Question has ap
peared.
In most of our great murder trials,
the alienist is th e last resort, or one
of the latest resorts. Usually he is in
troduced by the defense; anywhere
from four to eight of him.
The prosecution promptly counters
with an equal number of wheel in
spectors.
The defense (vide Thaw case) gen
erally proves to its own satisfaction
that the defendant was crazy when
he did it, but since has recovered his
equilibrium, his alibi and all the rest
of his scattered personal effects.
The four to eight experts for the
State differ slightly with this find
ing.
They All Agree.
They report that to the best of
their several and collective knowl
edge and belief, which is consider
able, the defendant is the happy pos
sessor of one of the sanest little noo
dles they ever had the pleasure of
sitting on. They say there is prac
tically no chance that any such care
fully-geared aggregation of mental
sprockets ever slipped a cog.
But they add that, if the defense
insists on the accused having been
non compos at the time he did it, he
most assuredly is in the same condi
tion at present, or more so.
In short, the State contends that
the defendant either should be hang
ed or remanded to the solitary uphol
stery for the rest of his life, accord
ing to which is most highly objec
tionable to the defense.
Vide Thaw case ad lib.
One Notable Exception.
There is only one case on record
where a corps of alienists employed
by one side agreed with those hired
by the opposition.
It seems that the accused person,
without any advice or suggestion from
his lawyers, broke out all over with
shockingly acute symptoms of demen
tia soon after he was arrested.
The defense ordered out the alien
ists.
They reported that the accused un
questionably was insane—remarkably
Insane.
experts to the full war strength anl
ordered them to advance with cau
tion.
To the intense surprise of everyone,
including the defense, they reported
that the prisoner was crazy beyond
the shadow’ of a peradventure. They
said he couldn’t be any crazier with
out coming apart.
Well, that just about settled It.
What prosecution could hold out
against the combined forces of two
sets of alienists? It was the first
time on record that the warring ex
perts had agreed.
And this time they were both
wrong.
Inside of a year the record-holder
for craziness—sprints, middle dis
tance and Marathon—had got himself
out of the bat factory and wa: en
joying life in a more congenial im«?
that had no extradition provisions in
the treaty, if any.
The Hypothetical Question.
The hypothetical question is used
rather more frequently than the alien
ist, because it is less expensive and
embarrarssing, while offering no more
than an even break to the other side
and confusing the jury fully as muen
as the most complicated allenistie
explosions.
When the h. q. is sprung by the
*
pedigree is propped up in the wit
ness chair and compelled to listen,
with the jury and such of the auditors
as can stay awake, to a detailed rela
tion of incidents beginning some time
before the birth of the accused and
extending to the date of the crime,
with provisions and qualifications to
fill out four hours and a half and
eleven columns of "six point.”
Then the expert says:
“No.”
After which an expert for the other
side listens to the same recital, re
peated.
And he says:
“Yes.”
What the jury says never gets into
print.

by Wrightsville Breakers—At

Miss Ethel E<lmcnd5»on, 24, daugh
ter of Mrs. S. P. Finchef, of No. 343
North Jackson street, was drowned at
Wrightsville Beach Friday afternoon.
She had been at the beach but a few
hourM when she decided to enter the
surf. Scarcely had she reached the
water when a huge wave raced in and
knocked her down.
Roy Walraven. of Atlanta, who was
with Miss Edmondson, was stunned
for a moment by the force of tlie
Wave, hut recovered quickly and went
to her rescue. He had a terrific strug
gle and but for the timely arrival
of Life Saver W. E. Watson he prob
ably would have lost his life.
Miss Edmondson left Atlanta on
Thursday night with a party of seven
for a ten-day stay at the beach.
She was a member of Grace Meth
odist Church and was employed as a
stenographer by the Wester Music
Company.
News of her daughter’s sudden
death almost prostrated Mrs. Fincher.
The body is expected to arrive in At-
Itnata to-day. Funeral arrangements
will be announced later.
ILL SHEET
Chairman of Investigation Com
mittee Hints at Impeachment
Proceedings.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—Governor
William Sulzer, of New York, was
nearly $50,000 in debt as the result of
stock market speculations at the time
of his nomination, and used contribu
tions to his campaign fund to make
additional purchases of stocks while
this debt w’ae hanging over hlriV ac
cording to testimony presented to the
Frawley committee of the Legisla
ture.
The evidence is sufficient to war
rant proceedings to impeach the Gov
ernor for violation of the corrupt
practices act, Chairman Frawley de
clares. A decision as to the commit
tee's recommendation is expected by
Monday.
The Governor, according to the evi
dence, had dealings with three dif
ferent stock exchange firms and was
saved from being sold out by one firm
by L. N. Josephthal, a Wall street
I banker, and a member of the Gov-
; ernor’s staff as naval reserve aide.
Josephthal, it was brought out, paid
| a debit balance of $26,739 still stand
ing against the account on July 15
last. This was after the Governor had
received repeated calls for more mar-
grin.
Used Campaign Funds.
The Governor’s transactions with
the other firms were for cash, and it
was in connection with one of these
that Governor Sulzer, according to
the evidence, used campaign con
tributions.
Arranged chronologically, the testi
mony appeared to show that on Janu
ary 1, 1912, there stood on the books
of the stock exchange firm of Harris
&. Fuller an indebtedness of $48,599
against the purchase by Governor
Sulzer of 500 shares of “Big Four,”
200 shares American Smelting and
Refining Company and 100 shares of
Southern Pacific. This testimony was
given by Melville B. Fuller, a member
of the firm who on Wednesday had
refused to answer the questions of
the committee. Before testifying his
counsel announced that the Gover
nor had agreed that “Mr. Fuller’s lips
should he unsealed.”
There were no other purchases of
stock recorded on this account, ac
cording to the witness, until Decem
ber 5, 1912, when the Governor bought
100 shares of “Big Four," making 600
in all. On December 11 the firm, ac
cording to a letter produced by the
witness, made its first call upon the
Governor for more margin. The books
showed that on November 18 previous
the Governor had paid in $10,000
against the account, and that on De
cember 16, apparently in response to
the call for margin, he paid in $6,000
more.
During Governor’s Campaign.
In October of the same year the
evidence indicated that Frederick Col
well, the Governor’s alleged “dummy,”
purchased from Boyer. Griswold &
Co., 200 shares of “Big Four” railroad
stock outright at 60, for $12,025, the
$25 representing commission. This
was at the height of Mr. Suiter’s
campaign for the governorship and
transcripts from the firm's books
showed the Btock bought on October
16 was paid for partly in checks, at
least two of which were identified in
the testimony as Sulzer campaign
contributions. There were seven
checks in all, and the others are
charged by Eugene L. Richards, coun
sel for the committee, as having been
also campaign checks.
Will Meet to Devise Ways to Sell
Space in Atlanta Manufac
turers’ Show.
The various committees appointed
to canvass the Atlanta manufacturers
and sell space in the proposed man
ufacturers' permanent exhibit to oc-
cupy the four top floors of the new

Senate Enacts Bill
For Inspection of
Georgia Bakeries
The Georgia Senate Saturday morn
ing concurred in the House amend
ments to the medical practice bill and
passed the Hixon “germ prevention"
measure providing for the inspection
of canneries ami bakeries of the State
The vote on the latter was 34 to 4,
the only opposition arising from thos<?
who argued that the bill necessitated
an unwarranted expense.
Sharp debate took place in the Sen
