Aug. 15.—While Albany swarmed to-day with scores of private detectives who kept every State officer under close surveillance, the stage was set for a fight in court to determine whether William Sulzer. who was impeached by the Assembly for high crimes and misdemeanors, or Martin H. Glynn, the Lieutenant Gov ernor, shall exercise the prerogatives of the office of State executive until the Court of Impeachpient sits on September 18. Surrounded by strong guards.

Pennington, No. 165 South Pryor street, was killed when a through freight on the Atlanta and West Point Railroad between Atlanta and Montgomery w’as ditched at Ho- gansvllle, Ga., early Friday morning.

All the reserve police are on duty with instructions to prevent street gatherings which may culminate in political riots. Never before, even during Senatorial investigations, have so many private detectives swarmed the State capital. Every man in pub lic life is being watched. It has become known that Judge D. H. Cady Herrick and other of Mr. Sulzer’* counselors are casting about to find if they can bring criminal charges against Charles F. Murphy* State leader of Tammany, on the ground that Mr. Murphy had con spired with other Democrats to cause the downfall of the government. Friends of the Governor declare that the executive could have forestalled Impeachment in the Assembly If he had consented to relinquish his fight for certain State measures. This he refused to do in the full belief that the Assembly vote would show a ma jority against the Impeachment res olution. Fresh complications have been add ed by the fact that Aaron J.

Aug 15.—A number of railroad depots and car* will undergo a rigid disinfection as the result of a trip from Fairmont’ Neb., to Clinton and Weldon. Ill., of of Clayton Townsend, who has small pox. Interest in the trial of Leo M. Frank surged up ward magically Friday when it was reported about the courtroom that the defense was nearing the close of its case, and that the defendant himself would be placed on the stand within a short time to make his only state ment before his fate was placed in the hands of the twelve jurers. The rumor spread outside the court house mysteriously and an unusual number sought admittance early in the day, although it was regarded as most unlikely that Frank would go to the stand until afternoon. Luther Rosser said he thought he would call the defendant about the middle of the afternoon. Attorney Arnold announced the defense probably would rest by night. As the last witnesses were being called by the defense, Frank, his wife and his mother viewed the proceedings with the same calmness that has marked their demeanor since the trial began, with the exception of the outburst of the mother two days before. On Friday she looked steadfastly downward and slightly toward the judge’s bench as though she might be having some difficulty in maintaining her attitude of confidence and calmness. Likely Rot to Call Mincey. As the defense neared the close of its case, the probability of the calling of W. H. Mincey diminished. Mincey is the insurance solicitor who swore that he talked to Conley the afternoon of the murder of Mary Phagan, and that Conley boasted to him of kill ing a girl. The attorneys for Frank would not announce definitely their intentions in respect to Mincey or with what credence they looked upon his story. Solicitor Dorsey brought before the jury for the first time, Friday the intimation that Frank might have sought to have dis- quised bsi handwriting when he was asked to write the test notes by the police and detectives. M. O. Nix, a credit man at Montag Bros., was called to the, stand to identify Frank’s handwriting on the financial sheet. When Dorsey took the witness over for cross-examination he showed photographic copies of the notes Frank write and asked, Nix if it was Frank’s writing. The witness was unable to say. The Solicitor did not suggest any motive in disguising his hand. The Solicitor endeavored to get Joseph Stelker, cne of the fac tory foremen, to testify that Frank did not go in to view the body of Mary Phagan when he was taken down to identify the girl. Stelker testified for the defense that some cf the red varnish used in the factory made stains very much like the supposed blood' spots found on the factory floor. The defense continued calling France Trains Eagles To Fight Aeroplanes Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.

FIRST SEA ISLAND BALE ARRIVES AT ADEL ADEL, GA., Aug. 15.—Adel received the first bale of Sea Island cotton In the South Thursday. It was grown and marketed by J. S. Jones, weighed 450 pounds and was shipped by J. E. and W. B. Wilks to Malloch, of Sa vannah. This is thirteen days earlier than last year. character witnesses at intervals throughout the forenoon. Nnoe was cross-questioned yesterday and all said Frank’s character was good. When the case was resumed Friday it was very problematical when the defense would finish. According to Luther Rosser, the defense may rest before evening with Leo Frank hav ing told his story on the stand, but Reuben Arnold was of the opinion that the defense still would be put ting in evidence to-morrow. Frank’s statement on the stand un questionably will be one of the strik ing features of the trial. He has studied the State’s case carefully, and it is said will not content himself with merely denying his guilt and explaining his movements on the fatal day, but will go somewhat into what he believes are the weaknesses of the State’s chain of circumstances. According to Frank's friends, the prisoner has been anxious for his at torneys to allow him to be cross- questioned, but they have doubted the wisdom of allowing him to go through the ordeal after the strain of the last few months. I>r. J. E. Summerfleld, No. 300 OLD CITIZEN PASSES AWAY. VIDALIA. J. A. McArthur, one of the most prominent citizens of Mont gomery County, is dead at his home at Longpohd, after an illness of some time. Mr. McArthur was a member of one of the best known families in this part of the Sta te. the first witnesses called Friday and both responded fivorably to the usu al qu j stions about Frank’s character put by Attorney Arnold. No attempt at. cross-examination was made by Solicitor Dorsey. The State had an equally imposing army of witnesses—most of them women— ready to go on the stand in rebuttal of the evidence upholding the pris oner’s character. A curious problem will arise when they are summoned. The State can only ask its witnesses as to the gen eral character of the defendant, just as the defense has done, and it will be up to the defence to ask about par ticular Incidents on the cross-exami nation or rest content with allowing the opinions of the State’s witnesses to go unchallenged. In that event it would be merely one group saying Frank s character is good against an other saying it Is bad, with the jury to decide which it prefers to believe. B. J.
