Alone With Dead Man
MIAMI, FLA.. Pec. IB.—Alone In a
email boat with the body of George n.
Smith, former proprietor of Halcyon
Hotel, a large tourist hostelry, Mrs M.
E Bearce of Kansas City drifted over
Blscayne Bay five hours last night, until
her cries attracted fishermen.

Th^re was o sort of lull before a
tempest of effort in the Oglethorpe
’ampaign Monday, and at the noon
day luncheon the reports of all the
ommlttees but four fell below the
$4,000 mark for the first time In the
campaign, $3,005 being reported.
‘‘This is nothing to grieve about."
Ivan E. Allen, chairman, asserted.
‘Only half a day’s work to-day, you
see, and you’ll find the rest of the
day will show up In grand style in
the subscriptions reported Tuesday.
Besides, we’ve got a new plan.”
Scramble for Prospects.
This was the plan.
The names of a couple of hundred
big firms and wealthy individuals
were read out from cards, and as each
name was called one or more of the
50 workers present got up and said:
“I’ll take it.”
It was almost like an auction. Some
of the firms and some of the men were
contested for as eagerly as if Uiu
workers expected to land something
big on their own hook.
“Just hear ’em bidding," whispered
one, as some popular firm was An
nounced. And that was what i sound
ed like.
“These people haven’t subscribed
vet,” Mr. Allen announced. “Most of
them haven’t been approached. Here’s
where we clean up.”
And that was the general impres
sion.

Go toInsuranceFirms
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—The Na
tional Government may be compelled to
refund $1,500,000 erroneously collected
from Insurance companies under the
corporation tax law as “dividends” as
the result of action by the Supreme
Court to-day.
The court dismissed an. appeal of H.
C. II. Herold, Internal revenue collector
of Newark, N J., from a decision of a
lower court holding in favor of the Mu
tual Benefit Life Insurance Company of
Newark.
It is expected that the Government
will drop this fight and permit the in
surance companies to get back the
overcharged tax without any further lit
igation.

Another provision of the ordinance
is that these rates shall be posted

Lift OPENS
Continued From Page 1.
not know Mary Phagan by sight and
by name? You may say someone told
him. but who told him?
Meeting Prearranged, He savs.
“His meeting with Mary Phagan n
Saturday was all prearranged by him.
Mary did not know that sens had
been posted telling the employees to
draw their pay on Friday night.
Frank knew that she would come
at the usual time noon Saturday.
“When Helen Ferguson, ;i friend >f
Mary’s, went to get Mary's pay Fri
day night, Frank would not let <;*'r
have it. He knew if he did Mar-
would not be at the factory on h
morrow. Every step leading up to th
tragedy was planned Even Jim Con
ley was asked bv Frank to coin
around on Saturday so as to be m
watch while the Phagan girl was
th. re.
“The Stale -roved without ques
tion that Frank was of bad charac
ter. We established it bv the best
witnesses obtainable—by‘girls, young
girls who had worked at the facto v
and who at the tin e of their testifying
had been
rmoved from the influc
facioi \
“The defense sought t<» establish
I I tank’s good charaeter They did it
b> friends of the defendant who knew
j nothing about the factory or Frank's
j conduct there. But it was at the
factory that the murder was com
mit ted. and it was there that his Im
moralities took place."
i Advances Time Argument.
Dorsey railed the attention of the
court to the testimony of a conductor
who said that the ear on which Mars
Phagan rode reached the city at 12:03,
a fact which the Solicitor said ef
fectively set at rest all the quibble
over the time element. Mary could
have entered the factnr.\ and gone to
the metal room with Frank before
Monteen Stover entered, ho declared.
Dorsey and Attorney Arnold were
the only speakers of the forenoon,
j Attorney Arnold spoke two hours
and 40 minutes, leaving but an hour
i and twenty minutes under the four-
hour argument granted ea< h side by
the court. The Solicitor said that
Attorney General Felder would oc
cupy part of the time for the State.
Arnold, in closing his address,
charged that Frank was convicted
solely on insinuation, innuendo and
trumped-up charges, and that the So
licitor had gone outside his functions
as a prosecuting officer in order to
hang the defendant
Says Dorsey Twisted Facts.
Your honors would noi believe th\t
su»h inconsequential and irrelevant
evidence could be used to damn a de
fendant, but lure it is, right Ik :n
the record!” lie < \i laimed. "It al
most unbelievable that such methods
could be used in * ortvictJng a man,
and that they could be successful in
a Georgia court of justice,”
Arnold accused Solicitor Dorsey <»f

cumstance and twin ing a into i

vi« tIon.
lie cind the letter Frank wrote to
his uncle, M, Frank, as an examp.•’
of the manner in which Dors, \ bad
distorted every particle of evidence
into a mountain of su'-plelon.
The letter, Arnold aid. was the
most natural message in the world,
and yet the Solicitor had made it • * .
ns a subterfuge and as a most positive
indication of Frank s guilt.
Calls Dorsey Unfair.
Dorsey improperly arid unfairly had
argued that Frank’s wife had a con
sciousness of his- guilt, Arnold de
i hired, because she had not visit, d
him at the Jail fur several days after
hi- arrest.
He had branded Frank as a red-
handed inur< i‘rrr merely because
Frank had been in the factory at the
time.
The Solicitor had declared the de
fendant guilty, first because he wa
nervous, and la ft because he was
calm and collected
"He was guilt.x because he had
hired counsel." said Arnold. "Hr was
guilty because he had told Newt Lee
lie could have a holiday Saturday
afternoon. iiie da\ Mary Phagan was
murdered. He win guilty because big
John Gantt scaled him Saturday
night
“Why. your honor, they haven’t a
shadow of a case against Frank, ex
cept on the testimony <<f the lying Jim
Conlex
“It is built upon juit such flimsy
circumstances aa 1 have cited. It is
evidence which a Judge should not
even submit it to a jury.
The early part of Arnold s address
tor>
the
Hi
e court was given over to a de-
lion of the National pencil fac-
whero Mary Phagan was niur-
i, and to a review of the entire
which he characterized one of
deepest murder mysteries that
had perplexed a community.
< first direct argument had ref-
errnce t.. the time element which
played ;i large part in the testimony
and arguments throughout Frank’s
trial uid later in the arguments in
behalf of i new trial before Judge
Huh n.
He contended (hat the testimony of
the State's own witnesses made it
palpably impossible that Mary Pha
gan could have been attacked or
murdered hi the time the State con
tended the crime was done George
Epps, n Siate*? witness, testified that
he rode to town with Mary Phagan
the day she was slain and that she
arrived at Forsyth and Marietta
streets at 12:07 o’clock. Allowing four
minutes to walk to the pencil fac
tory, Arnold argued that the fae-
t.<*ry girl could not have reached
there before 12:11 o’clock. But the
State, he said, maintained that the
•Miagan girl had arrived there be
fore 12:05 o'clock, or actually before
the car on which she rode arrived in
the city. Dorsey had to do this, ao-
| cording to the attorney, in order to
t make it fit in with his theory that
j Monteen Stover, who entered the fac
tory. at 12:05, was unable to find
Frank in his office been use it was at
: this moment that the young snperin-
! tundent was in the rear of the fac-
' :or\ in the act* of strangling the Pha-
i gan girl to death.
Gets More Time.
Arnold, in asking for an extension
f time before he began his argu-
meiii. represented that the trial had
been so long and the testimony so
voluminous that it could not be prop
erly discussed in the usual two hours
allotted to each side He asked for
an extension of at least three hours
Presiding Justice Beverly t>. Frans
announced that each side would be
River: an additional two hours, which
will complete the case Tuesday after
noon.
Always tii“ exemplification of sar
torial perfection, Mr Arnold wa.
dressed in a ligVit brown striped suit
that had the appearance of being
fresh from hi® tailor. A pair of thick-
soled tan shoes, a. neglige shirt with
blue stripes ajid a carefully lied
brown cravat completed his vislbb<
attire.
A number of Frank’s friends list
ened interestedly to thje ^rgumenlK
of the opposing attorneys. Detect
Ives John N. Starnes and Patriot
Campbell, who were detailed to awl
the Solicitor in the investigation of
the mystery, arrived soon after the
hearing began.
The arguments were heard by .Su
preme Court Justices Beverly D.
Evans, S. C. Atkinson and H. Warner
Hill.
It was expected Monday when the
hearing began that fb« arguments
would be practically in the same or
der as before Judge Roan in the
hearing for a new trial. Attorney Ar

In behalf of a new trial and being
followed by Attorney General Felder
and Solicitor Dorsey, representing

Clearaway Sale
Suits
Does the simple announcement suffice? Perhaps so to those
who know the Chamberlin-Johnson-DuBose Co. methods of
conducting suit sales when their object is to clearaway stocks.
If you, who are reading this, should happen to be one who
does not know our rather decisive methods at such times, read
below with the confidence that the prices stand for facts just
as they are:
Forty-Five Soils That Were
$21.75, $25.(1# and $29.75, Arc
Eighty Suits That Were
$29.75, $35.00 to $40.00, Are
$14.75
Thirty-Five Suits That Were
$37.50, $50.00 to $55.00, Are
$19.75
The price-cuts are a bit unusual, are they not ?
*
And the suits, we might best tell you what they are by telling you what they are not.
They are not makers’ odds and ends thrown together for sales purposes. Such suits
do not enter here!
They are suits that our buyer selected; smart styles, tailored to perfection, of mate
rials and in colors that need no argument in their favor. Such suits as we have been mak
ing an enviable reputation on, such as you will be very proud to own.
Are you in need of a suit?
Christmas shopping gives place momentarily to such an event, unless it includes a
suit as a gift.

Note the number of suits involved in this sa/e---one hundred and sixtv in all. The
4/
smart thing to do would be to get a very early start. The store opens at eight o'clock.
