His Good Character. ware several more witnesses to be* called on Friday who had seen him the day of the crime. Thursday’s testimony began with the time he went to Moutag Bros., Nelson and Forsyth streets, Satufday forenoon. Sig Montag, one of the Arm and also treasurer of the Nation al Pencil Company, testified that Frank came to his plant about 10 o’clock and left about 11. Miss Corlntlila Hall, Mrs. Emma Freeman, Miss Hattie Hall, Alonzo Mann and others had testified to see ing him In the factory between 31 o’clock and noon. Lemmie Quinn, metal department foreman, the day before declared that he visited Frank In his office at 12;20 o’clock. Mr*. Arthur White, a witness for the State, saw him in his office at 12:30. He went to the fourth floor at 12:50. ac cording to Mrs. White, Harry Den ham and Arthur White. This brought the defense down to the time someone saw him after he left the factory. Miss Curran was called to the stand and declared she saw the fac tory superintendent at 3:10 at White hall and Alabama streets apparently waiting for a street car. This made an interval of but eighteen minutes from the time he was seen by the three persons on the fourth floor of the factory, allowing two minutes for him to walk to his car. and an Inter val \>f but twelve minutes from the time that Conley said they started to carry the body to the basement. Fight of the twelve minutes were spent by Conley In a closet in Frank’s office, according to the negro's testi mony. Of the remaining four, part ware occupied in disposing of the body and part in writing the notes. Witness Who Helped Build Alibi. Mrs. Albert 1’. Levy, No. 69 Fast Georgia avenue, swore she saw Frank get off u car at about 1:20 o’clock and walk to the Selig home. No. 68 Fast Georgia avenue. Mr. and Mrs. flittUg already had tes tified he arrived home at 1:20 and ate luncheon. Mrs. M. G. Michael, of Athens. Oa., said she saw Frank at about 2 o’clock at the home of Mrs. C. Wol/sheimer, No. 387 Washington street, where she w'as visiting. She said he walked on to Glenn street and caught his car for town. Jerome Michael, son of the former witness, saw Frank at the same time. Mrs. Wolfsheimer was another wit ness who saw Frank Just before he caught his car. She said he was not nervous and bore no scratches or other marks. Julian Iv>eb, No. 380 Washington street, said that from across the street he saw Frank stop at No. 387 Wash ington and then go on to his car. J. C.

Miss Rebecca Carson, a forclady on the fourth Moor at the pencil fac'ory, told the Jury that ahe saw Frank In front of Rich. Bros, between 2:20 and 2:25 and that she saw him going into Jacobs’ Pharmacy at about 2:50. Harry' Denham, who was in the fac tory the day of the murder, testified that Frank came to the fourth floor about 3 o’clock and fold him and Ar thur White they could leave. Saw Nothing Unusual In His Actions. Emil Sells and Mlnoia McKnight had testified previously that Frank came home Saturday night about 6:30. Mrs. M. Marcus, Mrs. A. E. Marcus. M. J. Goldstein and others told of seeing Frank at home Saturday even ing. They said there was nothing un usual in his demeanor and that he bore no scratches or marks of any sort. He was reading a magazine, they said, and laughed heartily over a story in regard to a baseball umpire. They testified that he retired about 1:30 o’clock. The defense also made good Its promise that it would not hesitate to put Frank’s character in issue. Fol lowing Its action of the day before, when the first of the character wit nesses were put on the stand, nearly a score of Frank’s acquaintances, some of them his classmates and in structors at Pratt Institute and Cor nell University, were called to testify to Frank’s good character. These witnesses for the most pa”t were excused without cross-examina tion. Prominent citizens of Atlanta also declared Frank to be of good character. Among these witnesses were Rabbi David Marx, V. H. Krieg- shaber, Milton Klein and R. A. Sohn. A peculiar situation arose through the calling of Max F. Goldstein and Arthur Heyman as character wit nesses by the defense. Goldstein is a law partner of Frank A. Hooper and Heyman of Solicitor Dorsey, the two attorneys who are prosecuting Frank. Says Conley Told Her He was Drunk. One of the startling statements of the day came from Miss Rebecca Car- son. She declared Conley had sworn to her that he was not in the factory the day of the murder—in fact, that he was so drunk he did not know where he was or what he did. Solicitor Dorsey obtained an admis sion from J. R. Leach that oars fre quently run ahead of time >n practi cally all lines. This serves to lessen in value the testimony of the crew of the car on which Mary Phagan came to town. They swore they never ran ahead of time and that the Phagan girl could not have arrived in town before 12:07 o’clock the day she was slain Judge Roan threatened Thursday afternoon to clear the courtroom if disorder did not cease. V. H. Krleg- shaber was on the stand testifying the character of Frank when laughter at some of the testimonv disturbed the courtroom. Attorney Arnold protested. "This is not a sideshow," he said. "Must we put up with such disorder?’’ “Find the man that laughed and pm him out, ordered the Judge. "If there is any further disorder, no one will be admitted to the trial to-morrow."

The Speaker of the House preceded President Anderson just three minutes in the call for adjourn ment .sine die. The end in the Senate, where the appropriations bill with its $280,000 excess of disbursement over revenue, was pending, came after a day of hard work and a dash of excitement. During the morning every attempt was made to clean up the calendar .which had become clogged at the last moment. The forenoon session was extended to 1:30 to get the “mother’s custody" bill through, following the passage of the inheritance tax bill. Excitement Begins. Then came the first excitement. Senator Fred Kea. of the Sixteenth District, arose to a point of personal privilege to substantiate his charges against President Anderson, pub lished exclusively in The Georgian. Never during the session has the Senate been the scene of such intense interest. Senator McNeill, of the Twenty- second district, started the ball roil ing when he got possession of the floor and bitterfy denounced Senate” Kea for his charges against the presiding officer of the Senate. He moved that the Senate extend a ris ing vote of thanks to President An derson for his fair and excellent ser vices.

He charged further that the Senate Rules Committee was the "whole cheese in the Senate, as sure as there was a God in high Heaven.’’ At the conclusion of the fiery speech the Senate extended to Presi dent Anderson a rising vote of thanks. Senator Kea alone voting in the negative. As predicted In The Georgian on Thursday, the Senate receded from Its action in cutting the House ap propriation. therebv restoring the $280,000 excess of disbursements over revenues.

More than 100 have already been en-4 grossed and sent to the Governor, but there still remain between 200 and 300 local and general bills. Of the 100 or more that are al ready in the Governor’s office, but one of general importance has been! signed. That is the tax reform bill, which was signed by the Governo^ 4 and became a law at 3 o’clock Thurs.* \ day afternoon. The pen with which ? Governor Slaton signed the measure! that is expected to revolutionize the taxation system of the State wad given to Representative Lipscomljl of Clarke, who introduced the orij Inal tax equalization bill, and wTl has been one of the reform leaded throughout the session. Though the Governor has signed several local bills which Represent tatives and Senators wished to havq become operative immediately, it ia hardly probable that many of the! general bills will receive his signa-. ture until next week, when they wil| all be in his office. Adjourns M 10:12 o’Clock. The Legislature adjourned shortly 1 after 10 o’clock last night. Speaker J Burwell brought his gavel down for the last time this year at 10:13 o’clock, and President Anderson, of the Senate, adlourned that bodv three minutes later. Two minutes after the gavel rang out the House was in the throes of song. Representative Blackburn climbed upon a seat and led the Representatives in singing "God Be With You Till We Meet Again." Practically the only work the House had to do at the night ses sion, which convened at 8 o'clock* was to wait for the Senate to send over bills that had already passed the House and which the upper branch desired to amend. The only changes^ of Importance made in th4 measures were the following, all or which were concurred in by the House: Appropriating $7,500 to the Chemical Bureau of the Department of Agriculture. $15,000 to the Depart ment of Entomology to fight the boll w r eevil. and a bill increasing the sal-j ary of the State Oil Inspector $1,800. A bill appropriating $5,000 to* the Department of Agriculture was killed, because the wording of the bill was vague. During the wait on the Senate the House took a recess and the members proceeded to kill the time by putting on stunts that eclipsed the usual jolli fication with which sessions of the Legislature are brought to a close. Every member of the House was de termined to have as much fun as p* could, and witty speeches, mock ai tempts to rush through wild approp. atlons and gay singing was the ord< of the hour. James Keeps Sonos Going. 1 Representatives James of Gilme official "song-h’ister, kent. the son* going, and wa r surrounded by a groi: of vocalists and near-vocalists t evening, singin" all the old favorit and a few that w^ere not so old. Her' derson of Jones made speeches every corner of the hall, and got alor all right until he began one about th being the hour of the wild-eyed re-H former. Olive of Richmond then moved that he be given a bale of hay, • which was carried, amid much re- \ joicing, and Henderson was removed | from the desk onto which he haJil climbed. M Representative yPicquet of Rich mond, the smallest man In the Housa, was called to the chair by the crow d, and interrupted a turkey trot w’hich Greene of Houston and Smith of Ful ton w’ere doing down the middle ais’sd by recognizing Ed Wohlwender, of fil- r Ibuster fame. Wohlwender brought dowm the House by Jokingly moving that all prohibitionists be excluded from the hall. Burwell Thanks Members. Ennis of Baldwin jumped to ‘ns* feet and gave it as his solemn opini >n that the members were children. He therefore moved that $25,000 be ap propriated to build a sanitarium to take care of them. Picquet declar 'd the motion carried without putting the question. The fun continued foA more than two h >urs, until the sing ers became hoarse and the speech- makers had used up their supply of w’ords. When the House convened at 9:3$ o’clock, Speaker Burwell delivered y short address, in which he thanked the House for the honor it had con ferred upon him, and expressed his appreciation of the work of each member. He declared that the people of Georgia should be proud of the membership of the House, and said this session had been productive more remedial legislation than a: had seen in his ten years’ leg! experience.
