FRANK DEFENSE CALLS
HHpHE
TOAID BUILDING GFALIBi
Continued From Page 1.
Conley said he spent in the wardrobe
in Frank’* office.
If the defense is able to make the
jurors believe ufat it would have
taken Frank and Conley eighteen and
n half minutes to accomplish this,
they will have established what is
considered a very strong alibi for the
superintendent. To this must be
added the eight minutes that Conley
declares he was in Frank’s wardrobe
and about twelve minutes for the
writing of the four notes—this Is half
of the time that it probably would
have taken the negro to write them
according to the testimony of Harry
Scott. Pinkerton detective. This
makes a total of thirty-nine and one-
half minutes. Conley said they start
cd with the body at 12:56. The thir
ty-eight and one-half minutes would
have brought the time to 1:34 1-2.
But. according to one of the State’s
own witnesses. Frank had left the
factory and had arrived home at
1:30—or. in other words, had arrived
home before the disposal of the body
could have been accomplished.
Quinn Severely Grilled.
Lemmie Quinn, metal department
foreman, receivej a severe grilling
from .Solicitor Dorsey in the after
noon, but stuck to hln story that he
visited the office of Frank at about
12:20 the afternoon of the murder.
This is in contradiction of Conley's
story, who testified that he saw Quinn
enter the factory before Mary Pha-
gan and Monteen Stover came. The
Solicitor displayed affidavits of Quinn
In which the foreman said he had been
at the factory sometime between 12
and 12:20 o’clock. Quinn said that at
the time he made the affidavit he had
not estimated the time go closely as
he had been able to do since
Either witnesses of the day were Dr.
William S. Kendrick head of the (’hair
of medicine of the new Atlanta Med
ical School; Frank Payne, a former
office boy for Frank, and Oscar Pnp-
penheimer, a stockholder in the Na
tional Pencil Factory.
Dangerous Crossing
Cause of Injunction
COLUMBUS. Aug. 14 The city of
Columbus has enjoined the Central of
Georgia Railway from constructing
additional tracks across Eleventh
street, the city claiming that traffic
is exceedingly dangerous at that point
already on account of the large num
ber of tracks which cross the street.
Eleventh street is the principal out
let to Wynnton and all of the section
east of the city, and thousands of
persons cross the tracks every day.
The Central of Georgia undertook
to construct the tracks after permis
sion had been denied it by the city
officials.

Slayer Freed Under
$5,000 Bonds Raised
By Engineer Friends
W. D. Partee. the Georgia Railroad
engineer who killed another engineer,
Sam Jackson, a short whit ago, was
released from the Tower Thursday
morning under a $5,00 bond, furnished
by a number of engineers, friends of
Partee. Bond was granted by Judge
J. T. Pendleton following application
for bail by Partee. A plea of self-
defense was made.
The killing grew out of remarks
which Jackson was quoted as saying
about Partee being familiar with an
other engineer’s wife. Her husband
went to Partee and the two of them
started in search of Jackson. They
met near the Georgia Railroad round
house and the shotolng followed,
Jackson being killed almost instantly.
A number of Partee’s friends were
at the Tower Thursday morning to
greet him on his release from the
Tower.

THREE YEARS AGO
Letters Uncovered by Workmen
Between Walls of the Depot
at Decatur.
Remodeling of the Georgia Railroad
depot in Decatur has served to par
tially clear up a series of mail rob
beries three years old.
In 1910, about the time Agnes Scott
College opened for the year, letters
addressed to college officials and stu
dents and citizens of Decatur began
to disappear. Some of them con
tained checks and money orders, and
complaints by the hundred were filed
Post office inspectors worked, but
could find no clew, and the investiga
tion was finally given up as hope
less.
But the other day workmen at the
depot found all the missing letters
stacked behind the plastering. A hole
large enough to admit a man’s hand
\va- found. Through this hole the
letters had been placed between the
plastering and the outer wall. Some
of the letters still contained checks.
The letters had all been opened.
Mrs. Kirkpatrick, the postmaster,
is now engaged in forwarding the
long-delayed letters to the addressees.
She is writing a note of explanation
to accompany each letter.
The theory has been advanced that
the letters were taken by some rail
way mail clerk »nd handed out to a
trusted eonfedi rate in Decatur, who
would extract what money and ne
gotiable paper he would find and
then place the letters In hiding be
hind the plastering in the depot.
There is no clew to the guilty par
ties.

FORSYTH PLANTER DEAD.
GAINESVILLE.—George Elliott, a
well-to-do planter of Forsyth County,
is dead. His funeral took place Wed
nesday. 1
shown by most of the members, the
Legislature probably will adjourn
without holding a night session on
the last day.
Indications are that the House will
adjourn at 5 o'clock, the regular time,
with all the business completed ex
cept the bills that have been held
over until the next session by com
mon consent.
To-day only bills passed by the Sen
ate and needing action by the House
to become laws will he considered.
It is the Intention of the Rules Com
mittee to place on the order for the
day only such bills as can be gotten
through without an extended fight.
Jollification Planned.
The members of the House, espe
cially those successful In the fight for
tax reform, are planning to close the
session with a Jollification and song-
rest that will eclipse anything the
House has ever done. Bob Blackburn,
j of Pulton County, is the big mogul of
•he singing, and has been training his
choir for several days
'"Tis the Old-Time Religion" seems
to be their favorite, and that is the
one on which the choir will depend
when the Jollification over the close uf
the session begins. Parodies on the
song, ringing in such phrases as "it’s
good for Speaker Burwel!” an i
" 'twould be good for the Rules Com
mittee." have been prepared, and wiil
be sung at the final concert.
The I\ ednesday afternoon session
was taken up with the consideration
of two bills—the indeterminate sen
tence bill and the probation bill. Both
passed the Senate. The former, on
motion of Conner of Spalding, was
tabled by almost unanimous vote, and
Is dead for the present session. It
may be resurrected and considered
when the Legislature meets again, but
there ts no chance of Its passing this
year.
Wohlwender Fights Bill.
The Other bill, the probation
measure, giving the trial judge au-
thoiity to nlaee prisoners convlcte 1
of misdemeanors on probation was
rase d after a hard fight. The bill
also provides for the appointment oi
county probation officers.
The fight against the bills was led
by Wohlwender of Muscogee. He de
clared the probation bill would work
In the Interests of the offender with
money and influence and against the
poor man who has neither. A i
amendment offered by Miller of Bibb
that the provisions of the bill should
not apply unless the defendant were
under 17 years of age was lost by a
large vote. Pickett of Terrell County
aided Wohlwender In his fight against
the bill.
Those who were active for the bill
were Nunnally of Floyd, Blackburn of
Pulton, Myrick of Chatham. Olive f
Richmond. Culpepoer of Meriwether
and Wright of Floyd County. Th»
final vote on the measure was 114 to
38.

Crops in Fine Shape
AUGUSTA, Aug. 14.—Farmers in
this section are complaining of the
hot, dry winds, which they say will
prove disastrous to the cotton crop
if they continue long. The crop is in
splendid condition and with several
more well distributed rains this sec
tion will make a splendid yield.
Augusta received more than 500,000
bales of cotton in 1911, and this year
expects to receive about the same
amount.

HIS NOT PUT OIL LETTERS
BEFORE LOBBY PROBERS
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 13.—The following is a letter from Mr,
William Randolph Hearst in reply to a letter sent to him by Coin
gressruan Clyde H. Tavenner asking Mr. Hearst to put the Stand
ard Oil letters before the Garrett lobby investigation committed
in the house of representatives:
Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 5, 1913.
Hon. Clyde H. Tavenner, House of Representatives, Washing
ton, D. C. j
My Dear Sir:
Did you write me a letter and make the letter public, ask
ing me to submit all the Standard Oil letters that I have in
my possession to the House Committee now investigating the
charges of lobbying made by a certain Mulhall?
I would be very glad to submit again to the congressional ,
committee or to any responsible body, the Standard Oil let
ters which I have already submitted many times to the public
and to bodies which more or less accurately and sincerely
represent the public.
I would prefer, however, not to submit these Standard
Oil letters in connection with the Mulhall letters and charges
for the simple reason that the Standard Oil letters are very ,
important to the nation, very serious in their incriminations
and wholly authoritative and genuine, while the Mulhall let
ters and documentary evidence have never appeared to me
especially important or serious or genuine.
The Mulhall letters and charges were offered to one of my
magazines, the one that published the Standard Oil letters, but
the editors of the magazine with my approval declined to pur
chase or publish the Mulhall documents and confession. The
reason we did not purchase the Mulhall letters was not at all
because of the price. That question was not even considered.
The reason we failed to purchase them was because we
had not full confidence in them. We felt that the more or less
innocent or at least moderate wording of the documents did
not justify the extravagant allegations on which Mulhall based
the documents and we felt if that any part of Mulhall’s evi.
dence or testimony was untrue that all of it was open to uis-
picion.
Furthermore our magazine had just performed what we
had every right and reason to believe a great public service.
We had performed this service with the utmost sincerity and
consciousness and with the most scrupulous care.
We had exposed the corrupting influence of pi.vilege
seeking corporations in politics. We had revealed the con
nection between these corrupt corporations and certain im
portant public officials who were supposed to represent the
people in office, but who in reality, prostituted their offices to
serve the illegitimate interests of criminal trusts.
The editors of the magazine were agreed that we did not
wish to diminish or discredit the effect of these genuine reve
lations by the publication of Mulhall’s letters which seemed
to us less serious and sincere.
The Standard Oil letters can not be denied because there
always have been additional documents to disprove every de
nial made to confuse and confound every falsifier.
We did not wish our magazine to associate a great public
service and a vital political exposure like this with an extrava
gant series of exaggerated accusations, as the Mulhall confes
sions appeared to us to be, and I would rather not associate
the genuine with the questionable at your Congressional in
vestigation.
Of course I am expressing only my preference. I can
control the course of my magazine, but I do not seek to control
or influence the action of your committee. I shall always be
ready to submit to any such committee any such information
I have which can be considered of public interest or impor
tance. r
Very sincerely yours,
WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST.
