They are still nervous, easily tired,
upset by trifles, and they do not eat
nor sieep well. What they need is
what tones the nerves, perfects di
gestion. creates appetite, and makes
sieep refreshing, and that Is Hood's

STREETCAR MEN AID j
| THE FRANK DEFENSES
The motor-man
and conductor
of the car on
which Mary
Phagan came
to town
testified she
could not
have reached
the factory
at 12:05
o’clock.
Dalton’s Testimony False,
Girl Named on Stand Says
The Georgian to-day received from
Miss Laura Atkinson, of No. 30 Ella
street, one of the young women men
tioned in C. B. Dalton's testimony, a
letter denying absolutely that she
had ever walked home with Dalton
from the restaurant near the pencil
factory, as he swore. Here is Miss
Atkinson’s letter In full:
Editor The Georgian:
Will you please allow me space
to correct a statement made by
Mr. C. B. Dalton in his testimony
at the Frank trial, and published
in your paper yesterday? In an
swer to a question from Mr. Ros
ser as to whether he ever went
to the pencil factory with any
one except Miss Daisy Hopkins
he said yes, he used to go to the
Busy Bee and wait for the fac
tory to close to walk home with
the girls, and gave my name as
one of the girls.
His statement, as I read it in
your paper, impressed m© as be
ing intended to convey to the
minds of those who heard it (and
of course all who read it) the
idea that I was working at the
factory at the time he says he
went there and that he was In
the habit of walking home with
me. I have no desire to make any
derogatory remarks about Mr.
Dalton, but In Justice to myself
and my good name, I certainly do
feel it my duty to say that his
statement concerning m© is false
and he had not the slightest
ground whatever for making it
and no right to use my name in
any way in his testimony.
I have known him only about
six months, and have never been
in his company but three times.
On two occasions I was at church
with a gentleman friend who
was also a friend of his and he
walked with us from the church
to my home, less than three
blocks, and one afternoon while
out walking I met him and he
walked with me a distance of
about four blocks. That, and a
few conversations over the tele
phone, probably three or four, '
mark the extent of my acquaint
ance with him. I worked at the
pencil factory exactly two days
the second week in July (last
month), and did not even see Mr.
Dalton on either one of those
days. I had never worked there
before nor been there, and have
not since. r
Will you please state these
facts in your paper and clear up
any false impression that may
have been made on people’s minds
concerning rne, and the slur I feel
has been cast on my good name
by having him make such a
false statement where it would
be published broadcast over the
country? I will appreciate it and *
thank you very much If you will
correct the statement.
Sincerely,
LAURA ATKINSON.
