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.

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. :-r ! ‘ t . •. '*■ ’ * Every Woman Is Interested and should know about the wonderful Wkirlisf Spray Douche 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. Are You Sick, Diseased, Nervous, Run Down? Have You Blood Poison, Kidney, Bladder and Urinary Troubles?

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.

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. j I I iFlrstl Pr«v.
