Solicitor Dorsey failed to gei the answers he desired from the wit ness Philip Chambers, a 15-year-old office boy, but Attorney Arnold moved that all of the testimony bearing on this matter be ruled out although the t»o\ had testified favorabl\ to Fiank. The lawyer threatened that he w<»uld move for a mistrial if any fur ther effTort were made to introduce testimony of the sort which he brand- ed as irrelevant arid immaterial, as well as being defamatory slanderous and highly prejudicial. He was sus tained in his objection The defense had progressed ronsiu- •i ably in establishing w hat it pro poses to make an Iron-clad alibi for Prank on the day of the murder when court adjourned Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Emil Sell#. Prank’s pa i em*-*in - la v\. with whom he lives both testified that Prank arrived home Saturday' afternoon for luncheon a 1 1.20 o'clock Minola McKnight, ne gro cook, swore to the same state ment This would have made It Im possible according to the contention of the defense for Frank to have had any part in the crime.as it I* described by the negro. Jim Conley. Defense Holds Time Was Insufficient. Allowing ten minutes foi Frank to oatch a car snd get home, this would have necessitated Frank leaving the factory at 1:10 o'clock. Conley said it was four minutes before 1 o'clock when he got the cloth in which to wrap the body of Mary Phagan and carry it to the front of the factory and down the elevator. This gives but fourteen minutes for the disposal of the body, the writing of the four notes, two of which were found by the body, and everything else that took place before Frank left for home, according to Conley. The defense maintains that it would have been absolutely Impossible for Frank to have accomplished all this in the short space of time. The ne gro’s own estimate of the time re quired to take the body downstairs and return to the ofTlce floor is five minutes The defense brands this an absurdity. After this Frank washed his hands and told Conley to come into his office, according to the negro This must have taken until 1:05. at least. Frank's lawyers will assert. From experiments they have made In the factory they may declare that it would require even longer. Conley said thAt after he got in the office some one approached and Frank locked him in a closet. He was in there seven or eight minutes, he testi fy, bringing the time to 1:12 or 1:13. y%fter this there was yet the note to write. Conley said that he wrote them in a minute and a half or two minutes, but Harry Scott, Pinkerton detective, testified that it required the negro six or seven minutes to wirte one note dictated word by word. Assuming that Conley requir ed only half the minnimum time des ignated by Scott, It would have tak en him twelve minutes to write the four notes at Frank's dictation, bringing the time to 1:25. The writing was not continuous, as Conley said Frank interrupted him to make some erasures. He also said there was considerable conversation about Frank’s wealthy folks in Brooklyn, about burning the body of the murdered girl, and other sub jects. Conley also said that Frank gave him a roil of bills and then took them back The defend lo argue that additional fin lawyers will t>* able! this look al least an J minutes, bringing the I time to 1;.80—ten minutesa fter Frank arrived home, according to the alibi set up by tlie defense and at the same time h* arrived home by the. testimonx of one of the states own witnesses. Albert McKnight. Solicitor Dorsey sought to impeach I both Mi and Mrs. Selig by compar ing their testimony with that they gave before the coroner's Jury. He ' found *dl«' repandas which the wit- 1 nesses laid to lapse of memory or to (mistakes made at the inquest Mrs. Seiig. for example, testified at j i he inquest that Frank wore the same suit of clothes Saturday. Sunday and Monday She admitted to the *oli- citof* that .•♦lie was mistaken. The detective* were given a tor- j i u re-chamber reputation by Minola McKnight, the negro cook at the He lix home. The McKnight woman signed an affidavit telling of conver sations she overheard that were ex tremely damaging to Frank. When she got on the stand Tues day she declared vehemently that the statements in the affidavit were all a “pack of lies," which she said were invented by her husband, Albert Mc Knight. She wore, to the amusement of the spectators, that the detectives took her to the police station in the "cots- trol wagon" and that they threatened to keep her in jail if she did not sign the papers. "Ah signed ’em to keep out of Jail. Ah’d do mos’ anything to keep out of jail." she said Dalton’s Chaing-ang Record Exposed. Other Important developments of the day were th«» showing up of the court and chaingang record and repu tation of C. B. Dalton, the witness who swore women frequently were in j Frank’s office; the announcement by ! the Fxtate of its theory that Frank planned the attack on Mary Phagan the day before it took place, and the testimony of Miss Hattie Hall and Miss Magnolia Kennedy, which was Intended to show that this theory was untenable. Attorney Frank Hooper declared It as the opinion of the State that tfce pay envelope of Mary Thagan was refused Helen Ferguson Friday night and that it was refused for the delib erate purpose of getting the Phagan girl to the factory the next day. Magnolia Kenned*/ testified that she was with Helen Ferguson when she drew her pay and that the girl did not ask for Mary Phagan’s pay. Miss Hall asserted that P'rank tried to get her to work for him Saturday afternoon and also asked Harry Oott- hejmer. a Montag Brothers salesman, to come over in the afternoon to talk over some business matters, indicat ing that he had planned no crime or wrongdoing of any sort for that after noon. Several pieces of testimony during the day struck at the Kory of Jim Conley Miss Hall s*td that I^emmle Quinn did not arrive In the factory before she left at 12:02 Conley said that Quinn preceded Mary Phagan. whom he saw* next, and Monteen Sto ver who entered the factory’ at 1“:05 o'clock. MIsh Corinthia Hall ard Mrs. Em ma Clark testified that they were not In the factory shortly after 1 o’clock ♦when Conley said Frank exclaimed that these two women were coming Gordon Bailey, a negro at the fac tory. denied many of Conley’s stories in regard to incidents in which Frank W'fis alleged to have a past. 1 1 REVISION ‘ X E Senate Bill for Equalization Is Passed Following Long and Bitter Fight. SULZER SOBS IS There’s a world of satisfac tion in buying UneedaBiscuit because you know you will get what you want—soda crackers that are oven-fresh, crisp, clean, appetizing and nourishing. Uneeda Biscuit are always uniform in quality—they are always alike in crispness, in flavor—they are soda crackers you can depend upon. And all because Uneeda Biscuit are uncommon soda crack ers packed in an uncommon way. Five cents everywhere in the moisture-proof package. NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY Deserted by Friends, He Waits Through the Night, Com forted by Wife. Continued From Pago 1. lone Progressive, made spirited fight, hut the antagonists were strong in numbers and logic and were able to prevail. While the all-night battle raged Governor Sulzer remained alone in the the executive mansion, “the peo ple’s house," as he called it, refusing to see any one or to be seen. Com forted only by his wife he remained in lonely vigil until after dawn, when a messenger Informed him that he had been impeached. Tears streamed down the Governor’s face when he heard the news. Governor Sulzer will be tried by the Senate and a majority of the Judges of the State Court of Appeals, the evidence being presented against him by managers appointed by the Assem bly. Directly after the vote had been taken In the Assembly, Speaker Smith appointed Assemblymen Van- Woert. Cole and Bradley to inform the Senate officially of the impeach ment. Speaker Smith announced also that no time would be lost in preparing the articles of impeachment for presen tation to the court, but Mr. Sulzer has twenty days in which to prepan* his defense. Shunned in Hour of Trial. The articles of impeachment will be drawn up by Aseembleymen Levy of New York. Deitz or Brooklyn, Kel ly of Dutchess County, Daley of Onondaga County and Bryant of Genesee County Mr. Bryant is a Re publican; the others are Democrats. After this committee had been ap pointed there was a conference in the office of Senator Frawley, chairman of the committee which investigated the Governor. Efforts to get word from Mr. Sulzer. however, were un availing. In the darkened executive chambers Mr. Sulzer restlessly paced up and down. One wild report was circulated that he would go in person before the Assembly and plead his own case before a vote was taken; another rumor had it that he would make overtures to his political ene mies. All were wrong. The Governor waited developments anxiously and impatiently. He made a forlorn figure. Just a short time ago his favor was courted by all. but when the tide of politics began to against him he was deserted. Oni.v his wife gave him comfort. Eve.i friends of his own political party shunned him. History of an unprecedented nature was made, for never before has a Gov ernor of this State been Impeached. Snore* Punctuate Oratory. The debate which led up to the vote was marked by a dramatic fea ture. but even fiery oratory could not keep awake the spectators who filled the galleries. The most interested w ere the women, who remained awake until the final roll call. A number of the men slept in their chairs and a buzz of snores proclaimed the supe riority of slumber over forensic. Majority Leader Levy made the final address before the vote was taken and he blended eloquence with facts In a convincing manner. Mr. Levy read h great part of the testimony taken by the Frawley committee be fore he declared in solemn tones that, in his mind. William Sulzer should be impeached in the name of the com monwealth and common honor." Mr Levy denied that the impeach ment proceedings were being rushed bv Tammany leaders, declaring that under the Constitution the impeach ment court can not sit until 30 days have Hapsed. Assembly Schah, a Progressive who has been supporting the Governor’s direct primary bill, supported Mr. Sul zer in a speech. No Work for Police Guard. It was expected that there would be a demonstration and police were on hand to quell disorder, but nothing of an exciting nature occurred. Eugene Lamb Richards, counsel fot the Frawley committee, will prol>a- bly appear against Mr. Sulzer in court owing to his familiarity with 'the case. There was practically nothing do ing during the hours before noon, as nearly all the legislators were in bed. Opponents of the Governor were busy, however, and Mr. Sulzer was severely criticised for his reported acquies cence to his wife’s declaration that she was unwittingly responsible for the Wall Street speculation charges. "He should not try to hide behind petticoats to save his political face ” said they. Tammany’s Hand Is Seen. Friends of the impeached Governor are deeply distressed to-day over the action of the assembly. They still maintain that politics of a Tammany taint is rampant in the legislative halls. They go so far z.o 1%, predict that Acting Governor Glynn, who is now the rightful occupant of the ex ecutive chamber, will be given full op portunity to decapitate appointments made by the Governor, in that it is expected that no impeachment pro ceedings will be started until late in October, which is the limit of time provided for in the Constitution when the Impeachment trial through the court of impeachment must be insti tuted. These friends of the Governor find solace in the fart that in addition to the 76 votes necessary to impeach, Tammany could muster but three ad ditional votes. They point out that fourteen Republicans voted to sustain the Governor and feel that if was rock-ribbed political tactics which forced those who voted favorably on the impeachment resolution to do so. No arguments sufficiently strong enough to sustain the charge of the Frawley committee were made on the floor, they declare that Governor Sul zer will fight hack through the me dium of exposures of prominent Tam many legislators who so far have been successful in the first round to ac complish his downfall, is also strong ly hinted at. The impeached Governor will have plenty of time to dig up damaging evidence, they declare, and will do his utmost to bring calumny home to those whom he has heretofore more than hinted were grafters, who must be driven out of the party. More Scandal is Promised. It is not believed that the impeach ed Governor will be forced to vacate the Executive mansion although he may feel in honor bound to do so. Acting Governor Glynn has a home of his own in one of the most ex elusive thoroughfares in the city and a summer home ot Cedar Hill. That the knotty tangle which the Demooratsnow find themselves in was due to the uncompromising atti tude of Governor Sulzer was claimed by organization Democrats. They declare that Governor Sulzer frowned on all attehpts made hv the leaders “to get together’’ and that they had to “get him." that it was known that Sulzer had a checkered past, in spite of his continued dleerations that he “was walking the street called strai." All sorts of "I told you so’*” were forthcoming from Democratic legislators and whispers of more un complimentary pages of the Gover nor's life found utterance. A prominent Democvratic member said that the Frawley committee had in reserve a mass of evidence which, if used, would create more scandal of which the Governor wiuld be the vic tim This material maybe brought out during the future sessions of the Frawley committee. KILLS HIMSELF IN FEAR OF INSANITY A. S. Brown, 52, of Jacksonville, Drinks Carbolic Acid on Down town Corner—Leaves Note. Declaring in a note found by the side of his body that he was going insane and had suffered for years as "nobody but Noah of the Scripture.s” has suffered, A. S.

On a scrap of paper found by Brown’s body was a note s ating htat he was afraid he was going crazy, and rather than “live a living death" had decided to commit suicide. He asked that his body be given to a medical college for an examinatoin of his brain. In this note he gave his name and address. On the other side of the paper was a note in which he declared that, if the public knew of his trouble, it would wonder how he had stood it a*> long as he had. Brown was a man of unusual height, well cut features and hair tinged with gray. He was roughly dressed.

Several Fees Drop Fight. Several members who voted against the tax bill declared Wednesday morning that In view of their friendr ship tor the administration they will not support a motion to reconsider, even though it come from Sheppard and Stovall, recognized leaders of the ar rax reformers in the House. It took singing, much srgument, si wild ride to the Capitol in an auto-i mobile, a deciding vote by the Speak.; er arid one of Bd Wohlwender'e noted filibusters to paaa the bill, but after) three hours’ hard work, in whieft every foot of the march to success* was a battle. It was finally done. Bob Blackburn, of Fulton, led th’*j singing that put courage into hearts of the tax reformers: Hendery son of Jones made the wild ride tali the Capitol and cast the tying vote at the last moment, and then Speaker Burwell stepped into the breach and saved the bill by casting the vote the* broke the tie and made the bill a law. Sheppard, of Sumter, denounced the measure declaring that it is uncon stitutional, and Stovall, of Elbert, de livered an equally strong speech against the bill. McCrory, of Schley County, and Conner, of Spalding, aiso denounced it. Among those who spoke in favor of it were Wimberly, of Bibb: Jones of Coweta: Swift, of Muscogee: Fullbright, of Burke, and Greene, of Houseton. At 5 o’clock Holtzeiaw, of Hous ton, called the previous question, and at 5:15 the roll call began on the measure. The closeness of the vote was apparent before half a dosen names were called. The vote see sawed during the entire roil call. At no time was either side more than three votes ahead. When the verifi cation of the roil call began at 6:It) o’clock the antis had 86 votes and the reformers 83. Then one of the members arose and changed his vote from yea to nay. changing the figure* to 85 to 84. Henderson Rushes te Capitol. Then Gower, of Crisp, bethought himself that Henderson, of Jones, a sterling friend of the measure, was not in the House. He began hunting for him. In fire minutes he had Is. cated Henderson at the Majestic Ho< tel, where h« was waiting for a me;, cage from his wife, who is very 111. Henderson was told the statu* of the vote and Jumped into a taxicab and started on a wild ride to the Capitol. He arrived as the clerk was casing the S’s in his verification. Mr. Hen derson gained the floor and voted yea, tying up the vote. When the Speak- er announced that the vote was a tie, there was a moment of breathless quiet. Then Speaker Burwell voted yea and pandemonium broke loose. Mem bers shouted and sang. Jumped upon their seats, shook hands and relieved the tense feeling that had prevailed. None was happier than Pat Burney, one of the older members of the House. He jumped up on his desk and let out a whoop that could bo heard fire blocks. The din continued for five minutes before the Speaker could restore order. Then Sheppard, of Sumter, and Stovall, of Elbert, began a systematic effort to bring about a reconsideration ot the bill. Their efforts were de feated when Blackburn, of Fulton, moved that the House adjourn to 9:30 o’clock Wednesday morning, which is a debatable question. Wohiwender arose to the occasion—and the bill wa* saved. In a statement issued last night Governor Slaton declared that the Legislature deserves the thanks of the people of Georgia. • ' ‘‘It has shown efficiency and Busi-.’J ness capacity In a form that com mands the confidence of the entire business world, and can offer without embarrassment the bonds of Georgia to the strictest financier."
