iliHfUiiqp i \ 2 ’iTTE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. DORSEY IN ACTION IN CLASH OVER EVIDENCEl SOLICITOR HUGH DORSEY. Continued from Page 1. U»e defense that Mary Phagan did not leave her street car until 12:07 and could not, therefore, have pre ceded Monteen Stover, who went to Frank's office at 12:05 o’clock, into the factory. Hadn't Considered Evidence Important. McCoy said that he saw the girl not more than three or four minutes after 12 as he was walking south on Forsyth street. He testified that it might have been a little earlier than this. He said he had looked at his watch only a short time before. He admitted on cross-examination that although he had had this Infor mation in his possession all of the three and a half months during which the authorities have been searching for some one who saw the girl Just before she entered the factory h had not revealed It until about a week and a half ago He explained that he "hadn’t thought It of any account.” Kenley, the motorman, declared that he saw Mary Phagan Just as she was coming off the viaduct on her way to the pencil factory. He testi fied that he was on a street car due at that point at about noon and that this was the way he determined the time it was when he saw her. He said on cross-examination that he was not positive that the car he was on was on schedule, but he thought it was. Attorney Rosser asked him what time Mary Phagan could have ar rived in town If she had taken a car at Lindsay street, on which she lived, at 11:50. Kenley estimated that it would be 12.10 or 12:05 at the earliest. It has been accepted by both the State and the defense that 11:45 is the approximate time that Mary Pha gan left home and 11:50 that she took the car. Rosser asked Kenley If Jt was not true that he had made himself a nuisance on his car by his continual vllliflcatlon of Frank and If he had not on several occasions declared that in the event Frank was freed he would be one of the first to Join a lynching party. The witness denied this even though the names of per sons to whom he was said to have made his statements were read to him. Meeting Mary Phagan. Boys Tell of Frank Will Turner, a 16-year-o!d lad who formerly worked at the pencil fac tory, testified that he saw Mary Pha gan "backing away" from Frank one day In March when he entered the metal room unexpectedly. He said that Frank appeared to be trying to force his attentions upon the Phagan girl who was seeking to evade him and get hack to work. Solicitor Dorsey Interpreted this al leged circumstance as strongly In dicative of Frank's attitude toward the murdered girl and almost conclu sive of his acquaintance with her, al though he has persistently declared he knew her only as one of the girls In his factory and not by name. The Solicitor In an address to the court on the admissibility of the boy's evidence snnounced it as his opinion that Frank’s effortB on this occasion to talk to Mary Phagan were the be ginning of a series of events which culminated in the crime. Frank's attorneys represented *o the court that the testimony was im material as it indicated, if it were true—and they doubted It seriously— nothing more than that Frank waif talking to her as he would to any of his employees. There was nothing In the boy's testimony, they said, which went to disprove Frank's declaration that he did not know the girl by • name. Judge Roan, after a large amount of argument on both sides, let the testimony go in. V The day was marked by one of the most decisive and Important defeats that the State has suffered since the beginning of the trial. Solicitor Dor sey started his threatened attack up on the character of Frank as soon as the defense rested early in the forenoon session, but he had barely asked the tlret question that gave promise of sensational testimony be fore he was estopped by a sharp ob jection by the defense and a few minutes later by the decision of Judge Roun that this’ sort of testimony should be excluded. Dorsey had a number of witnesses on hand who were to testify to par ticular acts of alleged immorality on the part of Frank. By the Judges ruling none of them will be permit ted to tell of the grossly Improper conduct with which the young su perintendent Is charged by the State. Every efTort of the Solicitor along this line collapsed throughout the day. In the afternoon he called Miss Nel lie Wood, who testified at the Coro ner's Inquest. She was expected to tell, said the Solicitor 1^, his address to the court, of Improper advances made to her by Frank. She was pre vented from testifying In this respect, the attitude of the court being that Frank was being tried on the charge of murder and not for any other act. The Solicitor was unable even to get from the witness the general as sertion that Frank’s character was "bad." She declared she did not know 1 hit general character, as she had been at the factory only two days. Dorsey claimed that he had been misled and trapped. George Gordon, who figured as the mysteriously Bilent attorney for Ml- nola MoKnlght, the negro cook at the Selig home, when she was locked up for the purpose of getting from her an affidavit against Frank, testified that he was not present when she put her signature to the document, tie said that Dorsey would not order her release for fear of "getting in bad with the detecllves." He charged that she was held illegally and without a war rant. Continued from Page 1. In any other State than New York at\d any other country than the United States. I am not a danger ous man. I do not seek vengeance. My wife, Evelyn Nesblt Thaw, need not fear me. Nor need anyone else fear me. All I want Is peaceful and Practically All the Important Acts Have Been Approved—Those on Desk Are Local Measures. With virtually all of the Important general bills signed in more than twelve hours of hard work Tuesday, Governor Slaton started to work early Wednesday morning with about a hundred local bills on his desk that must be signed by midnight to-night. In addition to the local bills, there are a few general measures that were not considered yesterday, but none of any great Importance. Two of the local hills directly affect Atlanta, one providing for a new city charter, and the other creating municipal courts. Both Ihese bills will be considered by the Governor to-day. Among hte i mportant measure? that received the official signature and became laws Tuesday were the general appropriations bilL the inher itance tax bill, the bill establishing a home for wayward girls, the perma nent registration bill, the medical practices act, the bill increasing the occupation tax on corporations, and the "blue sky" law relating to the sale of stocks and bonds. By signing the wayward home girls’ hill the Governor effectually disposed of the rumor that he intended to veto the measure. The basis of the report, It is understood, was the Governor's antipathy to signing any bill that would increase the appro priations while it made no provision for increasing the revenues propor tionately. Telegrams Flood Office. Tuesday Governor Slaton received betwen seventy-five and one hundred telegrams from individuals and or ganizations, urging him to sign the bill, which doubtless influenced him to a certain extent, together with the new report that tax returns showed an increase in taxable values of sev eral millions of dollars. The appointment of a committee of two men and one woman to have charge of the home probably will not be announced until Governor Slaton returns from Colorado Springs, where he will attend the conference of Gov ernors which will be held there four days beginning next Tuesday. He will be accompanied by Mrs. Slaton. Colonel Frederick J. Paxon, chief of staff, and Mrs. Paxon The party will leave Atlanta Saturday and expect to arrive in Colorado Springs Monday. The conference next week promises to be the greatest gathering of Gov ernors ever held in the United States. Forty-six out of the forty-eight Gov ernors of the Union have declared they will be present. Great Welcome Promised. Governor Ammons, of Colorado, and Mayor McKesson, of Colorado Springs, will welcome the visitors, and Governor Spry, of Utah, will re spond to the greetings. The perma nent organization will then be effect ed. and in the evening the Governors and their wives will be guests at a re ception given by Mrs. Ammons, wife of the Governor of Colorado. Wednesday the official sessions of the conference will begin, and will continue until Saturday evening. Among the speakers will be Governor Cruce, of Oklahoma: Lister, of Wash ington; O’Neal, of Alabama; Hunt, of Arizona: Hodges^ of Kansas; Dunne, of Illinois: Baldwin, of Con necticut, and Carpy, pi Wyoming. College Men Will Be the Orators at Suffrage Meeting College men will make equal suffrage talks Wednesday afternoon at 3 o’clock, when members of the Atlanta Equal Suf frage Association meet in Carnegie Hall. Mrs. Amelia Woodall has returned to the city and will preside at the meeting A large number of college men who consider women have equal right to the ballot will advance reasons for the en franchisement of women. Mrs. Mary L. McLendon, president of the Georgia Woman's Suffrage Associa tion, will welcome the college men in a short address. Among those who will speak are George Baker Mayer, of Cleveland, who atends the University of Pennsylvania; Charles McDaniels, a stu dent at the University of Georgia, and Victor Smith, a member of the senior class of the University of Georgia Law School. 1 I First | Prev. lOpenlHigb iL dw 1 Ca.ll. 1 Clocc.

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. MADRID, Aug. 20.—A mighty up heaval of the political condition of the big powers of Europe is reported. This change in the alignment of the great continental world powers was brought about by the Balkan war and in the future probably will play an important part In the history of civ ilization. According to Information obtained from an official source, a project is under consideration by which Spain is to take Russia’s place in the triple entente and Russia is to head a new alliance including some of the Slav states. Whether Russia Is to throw her for tunes with Bulgaria or whether she will head a group of Balkan powers, including Servia, Roumania, Monte negro and Greece, is not known. It is pretty certain, however, that Russia will take steps soon t<5 form a league with states which became prominent and powerful in thesJBalkan war. With Russia out of the triple al liance. Spain still will have two pow erful allies, namely, Great Britain and France. Territorial accession of Great Brit ain, Spain and France have to some extent given them common Interests. There is a movement on foot in Paris to try to hold Russia in the al liance, but It is doubtful whether it, will prove successful. If Russia re mains with the old alliance and Spain is added, the triple entente. Including Austria. Germany and Italy, will be completely overshadowed. Boys’ High Class TO Plans Big Reunion The annual reunion of the class of 1910, Boys’ High School, has been an nounced for August 21. A room has been secured from Harry Silverman, comer Houston and North Pryor streets, from 8:30 o’clock until the boys get ready to leave. A banquet that promises to eclipse any feast the class has yet spread will be served shortly before 9 o'clock, and after that speechmaking and reminiscences will be the order of the evening. The reunion committee Is sending out notices to all the members of the class, asking them to attend, and responses have been numerous. legal liberty. I feel that I am perfectly safe. I have studied law ever since I was admitted to Matteawan, and I believe that I am qualified to speak In this matter. • "Statements to the effect that 1 only sought liberty to kill are sense* less. They are so ridiculous that 1 won’t talk of them. I have the kind est feelings toward the people of Can* ada, and will retain such feelings no matter what action the Dominion Government takes, hut I hope that they do not deport me. Detention in an insane asylum is a living death. It is enough to make a maniac out of a perfectly sane man." Thaw was asked to pose for a photo upon his arrival at the jail, but re fused on the ground that he was not presentable. ,‘TH soon have some clean linen and collars and then I will be ready for you," he told the reporters. Thaw paid careful attention tp his attire upon arising. He saw that he had fresh linen and that his trousers were creased. His shoes were neatly shined and he wore a soft gray hat, having discarded the straw which he wore when he escaped from Mat teawan. To attendants of the jail Thaw was affable. He told them that he felt safe. Refuses to Tell of Flight. "I have committed no crime in Canada," he said to the Jailor. “No indictment is pending against me. I am a rational man, and 1 do not think they can send me back.” Asked for a detailed story of his flight he refused. "Yes, I was the man tlfey spotted In Lennox, Mass.," said he. "But from that point on I must say noth ing. I won’t betray my ffiends." Mrs. George Lauder Carnegie, sis ter of Thaw, was the first to arrive. She got into Sherbrooke to-day and immediately sought her brother. Thaw sent word to Roger O’Mara, the Pittsburg, Pa., private detective, who has been his counsellor since youth, to rush her on the first train. He also expected his mother to come here from the Tham summer home at Cresson, Pa. The prisoner said that*he slept well and he seemed much refreshed. After reading the papers he walked about his cell nervously awaiting the arrival of his counsel. He said that he wanted to get the fight over with. His first trepidation came with the news that District Attorney Conger, of Duchess Couny, New York, and Dr. Kieb, of the Matteawan institu tion, would come to co-operate with the United States authorities in an effort to have Thaw deported back to New York, or extradited. Plans for the court battle in Thaw’s behalf carefully made by Mr. Shurt- leff and Colonel Fraser and approved by Thaw. The fugitive hoped to have his release ordered by Judge Glohensky and planned to leave this afternoon for Quebec If he got out. He intends to sail for France if he gets his freedom 30 that he will he sure to be safe. Ultimately he hopes to have his legal freedom established so that he can return to Pittsburg. Among the grounds upon which the Thaw lawyers put into their plea for their client’s liberty is that he Is only a tourist passing through Canada and they point to the case of Jack Johnson, the negro pugilist, as a precedent. They contend that Johnson was under conviction of an Infraction of the United States law whereas Thaw has not broken any law. They contended that Johnson was a fugitive from Justice, whereas Thaw is a fugitive from an Institu tion for the insane. They pointed to Thaw’s behavior to uphold the contention that no mat ter what his condition in the* past he is now sane and rational. The facts that Thaw has not broken any Canadian laws and that no indictment exists against him across the border were emphasized. Thaw offered many suggestions to his lawyers and in a way seemed to be their pilot. He looked very solemn and impressive as he gave his opinions of his own case. "My Idea is that speed Is the requi site thing," Thaw told them. The Canadian Government and the United States Government were both represented by able counsel who re sisted Thaw’s efforts to gain his liberty on a writ of habeas corpus They contended that the law gov erning Thaw’s case is very plain and they pointed to precedents. In fact, it was reported that Act ing Superintendent of Immigration B’air in Ottawa, had been counseled by the ministry of justice that Thaw should be deported at once. When Thaw heard this report he trembled and became pale. He was unnerved by the news and showed it. The presence here of the most spec tacular and sensational prisoner lh the world made to-day a gala occa sion. Not one of the provincial fairs which are being held throughout Eastern Canada at this time could vie with Thaw as an attraction. Great crowds came into Sherbrooke from the surrounding country. Eager for Glimpse of Thaw. Families gathered about the Jail, hoping to get a glimpse of the well known prisoner if he was taken to the courthouse. Some came a dis tance of 100 miles to see Thaw. The street on which the jail is located was jammed. This curiosity tickled Thaw Im mensely. He said he did not want to disappoint any one who really wanted to see what he looked like. Mr. Shurtleff was resentful against Justice of the Peace Dupuis, of Coat- lcook, who held Thaw on the charge of being a fugitive and sent him here for further examination. "We contend that Justice of the Peace Dupuis acted Illegally," de clared Shurtle:. "He exceeded his authority. He had no right to hold Thaw." Colonel Fra9er assured Thaw that conspiracy is not an extraditable of fense and that he need not feel any great alarm over the fact that a war rant charging Thow with conspiring to gain his liberty is on its way here from Duchess County. He did not give such optimistic assurances about deportation, however. Thaw' lost no time in arranging to secure cash. He telegraphed to a banker relative in Pittsburg (where the hulk of the Thaw fortune is in vested) to send him money to fight his case. The Canadian law's provide for barring out any person w r ho is insane or who has had an attack of insanity within five years. It is the custom to return "unde sirables” to the place whence they came. The New York authorities contend that if Thaw is deported he should be sent into New York State. If Thaw is sent over the line he will continue his fight by maintaining that, as he crossed into Canada from New Hampshire, he should be deported into that State. In New Hampshire Thaw’ could begin an entirely new fight against going back to Mattea wan. P<tr. and Mrs. Carnegie G-o to Thaw’s Aid. SPRINGFIELD, MASS., Aug. 20 Mr. and Mrs. George Lauder Car negie, brother-in-law and sister of Harry Thaw, passed through here to-day on their way to Sherbrooke, Canada, to assist in the legal bat tle to prevent Thaw’s return to New' York.
