P £ R T V RACING RESULTS U. S. Envoy Went to President’s Room at Midnight and Forced Retraction. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. MEXICO CITY, Aug. 20.—The story of how President Huerta sent an "ul timatum" to the United States Em bassy Monday night demanding im mediate recognition of Mexico by the United States was told to-day for the first lime President Huerta, in replying to the note from President Wilson, offet'ing euggentions for the pacification of Mexico, rejected all President Wil son's proposals ar.d declared that the '’il Mexican regime must be recognized by the United States within twelve hours. The Mexican Ministers knew the contents of the note, having had a hand in Its formation Acting Foreign Minister Gamboa objected to the ag gressive tone, but War Minister Blan- quet and Minister of the Interior Urrutia thought that the tone of the note was no stronger than the oc casion demanded. Accordingly this note, which had all the qualifications of an interna tional ultimatum, was transmitted to Charge d'Affalres O'Shaughnessy, of the United States Embassy. Mr. O’Shaughnessy and John Lind, the special envoy from President Wilson, lost no time in breaking the .seals. Both were amazed at the tenor of the note, and the truculent threats of war unless the United States recognized Mexico. “I must see President Huerta at once,” declared Mr. Lind. Goes to President’s Room. Despite the fact that the special envoy had not been Invited to the Kational Palace, being persona non grata to the Mexican Government and in spite of the fact that the hour •was nearly midnight. Mr. Lind and Mr. O'Shaughnessy Jumped into an automobile and sped to the National Palace. Lights were blazing in the presi dential suite so the belated visitors . ..knew that Huerta was at home, but ) ’was he “at home" in an official sense to his visitors? That was the im portant question. Mr. O’Shaughnessy was recognized by the sentries at the gate, but they turned questioning eyes upon Mr. ( Lind who stood impatiently awaiting entrance. "It is official business; we must enter and see the President,” declared the Charge d’Affalres. After a slight delay the men were permitted to enter the visitors’ cham ber. Almost immediately Huerta en tered. The President had discarded his military uniform and was dressed In civilian attire. Talks Plainly to Huerta, in spite of the infringement on diplomatic usage, Mr. Lind proceeded right away to enter upon his diplo matic work. He told Huerta of the disastrous consequences which must necessarily follow the transmission of the ultimatum to Washington. So forcefully did he talk that the hard lines of determination in the old soldier's face relaxed and he list ened patiently with few interruptions Huerta got up and paced up and down the room as he replied. He said that he believed the course of the United States would wreck the Mexican Government, but that he did not want to plunge his already im poverished country Into war. He finally consented to cut out the de mand for recognition from his reply to the Wilson note, although no amount of persuasion could Induce Continued on Page 10, Column 1. AT TORONTO.

It was announced in the office of the Governor to-day that the further respite was granted because the Gov ernor will be away during the next ten days, and will therefore not have sufficient time to consider the case before the * date set for the execu tion of the condemned man. All evidence and papers in the case have been in the hands of the State Prison Commission for several weeks, but no action will be taken now. All of September probably will be devoted to considering the case and hearing those who are interested in it. the recommendation of the board probably will go to the Governor a few days before the date now set for fxecuUM* Wwlober 5.

Frank, except for the arguments, came at 5:14 "Wednesday afternoon. The State closed its case at 4:10, and as soon as certain pieces of documentary evidence had been submitted by Solicitor Dorsey, the defensebegan its brief sur-rebuttal. The arguments will begin at 9 o’clock Thursday morning. Judge Roan said that he did not propose to cut the attorneys in the length of their speeches. So muc hevidence has been submitted that the judge did not think the attorneys should be bound. Frank took the stand just before adjournment, and made a statement in rebuttal of several of the charges of improper conduct that had been made against him in the State’s rebuttal. He made positive denial that he ever had gone into the dressing room on the fourth floor with Miss Rebecca Carson, a forelady, defending her character, and asserted again that he did not know Mary Pha gan by name. “The statement of that Turner boy is false,’’ he declared. ‘' The testimony of two young women that they heard me call Mary Phagan by her first name is a mistake. I did not know her name, and could not have called her either Mary’ or -Miss Phagan.’ “I may have spoken to her. I speak to most of the employees. “The statement that I entered the dressing room with Miss Rebecca Carson is utterly false. It is unfair to the young lady. So far as I know, she is a young woman of unblemished character.’’ The strong probability Wednesday night was that Frank’s fate would be in the hands of the jurors late Thursday or some time during Friday's session. The close of the State’s case was marked by a severe grilling of Detective J. V. Starnes by Attorney Rosser. The lawyer tried to make it appear that Starnes had kept Minola McKnight locked up and had given her the third degree until she Anally had signed the affidavit incriminating Frank in order to obtain her release. Dorsey put in evidence statements of Miss Hattie Hall, Wade Campbell, Minola McKnight and other of the defense’s witnesses who had sworn differently on the stand than they had at the Coroner’s inquest or at his office. The State finished the submission of its documentary evidence at 4:50 o’clock and the defense called for T. Y. Brent, who said he had heard Conductor Kenley, a State’s witness, villify Frank. Harry Scott, Pinkerton detective, was recalled in an attack on Frank’s own story, at the afternoon session Wednesday. W. T. Dobbs, a member of the city fire department, directly contradicted W. M. Matthews, one of the defense’s witnesses and motorman of the car on which Mary Phagan came to town April 26, in the course of his testimony. Dobbs testified that he saw Matthews about three days after the crime and that Matthews told him that Mary Phagan had rid den with him that day, that she got off at Marietta and Forsyth streets, and that the Epps boy was with her. Matthews testified when on the stand that the Phagan girl did not get off at Marietta and Forsyth streets, but rode on to Broad and Hunter streets, and that he did not see the Epps boy with her. L. S. Kendrick, who was night watchman at the pencil factory before Newt Lee was engaged, testified that he had gone to the factory frequently on Saturday afternoons and on occasions had seen Jim Conley as well as other negroes hanging around on the first floor. Kendrick also said he had run a tape through the time clock since the murder, making a record upon it, and that it had required only three or four minutes to do it. The tape was placed in evidence.
