$2OO FINE FOR BOSS WHO FLOGGED CONVICT
$40,000 TRAIN ROBBERY SUSPECTS ARE HELD HERE
Detective Burns Trails A. S. Colvar in Frank Case
Detective Declares He Has Found
No Evidence of Deliberate
Plat on Frank.
A. 8. Colyar, dictographer, quondam
lawyer and mysterious flgure in the
Phagan murder case, has been brought
into the light by the latest activity of
Detective Burns and his operatives,
This became known Friday shortly
after the day's most important devel
opment—Burns’ positive declaration
that he already was in a position to
clear up the mystery of Mary Pha
gan’s missing purse and py envelope
and of the ribbons and flowers miss
ng from her hat.
The strange disappearance of the
slain girl’s mesh bag has remained
one of the baffling and unexplained
features of the case up to the present.
Jim Conley, having never before men
tioned .it in any of his sworn state
ments, startled the courtroom at the
trial of Frank By declaring that he
caw it on Frank’s desk when he went
in to write the .y rder notes after the
g7l had been killec. :
Will Explain All, He Says.
Burfic was non-committal when he
was asked if he actually had found
the missing articles or simply had
ascertained their disposition by the
murderer.
“1 will explain everything about the
mesh bag, the pay envelope and the
other articles when my final report
is made,” he promised.
Another important contribution to
the day’'s developments came in the
shape of an interview with Henry F.
Becker, former maste mechanic at
the pencil factory, by The Georgian's
correspondent in Irvington, N. J. It
was on an old order pad used by
Becker in 1909 that the death notes
were written by Conley.
Becker in his interview with The
(eorgian representative expressed his
firm belief in the innocence of Frank
and declared that he was confident
that Jim Conley, whom he knew as a
worthless, no-account negro, was the
person who slew the little girl,
Burns admitted Friday that he had
located Colyar ‘in an Alabama city
and that his men were investigating
every incident of Colyar's connection
with the murder mystery, including
his alleged effort to obtain by a $l,OOO
bribe testimony defamatory to Frank's
character.
Says Colyar Qught To Be in Jail.
“1f all I hear about this man is true,
e ought to be in jail,” raid Burns.
“I imagine he has been successful in
escaping much of the imprisonment
which-he deserves not so much be
cause he is clever, but because the
authorities think he is not entirely re
sponsible.”
Burns will find out every detall ¢f

department and with Chief Lanford,

Georgia Farmer, After Killing

VIDALIA, March 20.—Ollie Eu
banks lies at the point of death, with
a bullet in his brain, his wife and two
¢hildren are dead, their bodies muti
lated by gashes from an ax and knife,
and nis plantation buildings are fire
scarred and in ashes as the result of
Eubanks’ insane derire to destroy his
Ifamily and worldly possessions at his
| Emanuel County plantation near Oak
lPark early to-day.
After killing his family FEubanks
‘walked to the house of a neighbor
| named Page, a few miles distant, and
lrelated the details of the crime to
lPage's son, whom he had called from
bed, telling him that he had “lived in
trouble and torment for five years”
and that he as now on his “road to
| hell,” and warted his family with
| him,
| Slays His Family.
Eubanks is said to have stated that
he had some dispute with his wife
during the night, and that he had
Iknocked her out of bed with a knife,
later going for an ax, with which he
tried to hack off her head. Next, he
| went to the crib of an infant daugh
| ter, where he stuck the knife in her
Ihead, killing her instantly. Later he
Ipulled another child, a girl 6 years
| old, across the footboard of her little
bed and cut her throat with the same
knife,
Not satisfied with the destruction
already wrought, Eubanks lighted a
| torch and set fire to every out-build
| ilng and the Eubanks home, afier
I which he filled the well mouth full of
| trash and destroyed the well bucket
land rope, so that no water could be
| procured to stop the fires hé had
| started.
i Shoots Self in Head.
| After relating the details of his
Ideods to the Page boy, he ordered
him to call Page from the house.
I\\'llllo the boy was gone to get hig
{ father Eubanks pulled a .44-caliber
I pistol from his pocket and fired a bui

“Georgia is the last place on earth

in the cotton mills of this State, a
condition that prevails nowhere else
in the country. The child labor laws
of Georgia are virtually no laws at

“A, defense of the child labor laws
that are now on the statute books of

One of the chilliest nights enjoyed

C. F. VonHerrmann, we#her fore

“The temperature will fall to about

“with a severe and killing frost, fa

from the recent rain. Saturday wiil
be fair, and probably with a rising

off the water where pipes are much
gxposed to the outside air.

opinion that the frost will not do se

Indictment Charging Assault to
Murder Is Dropped at Re
quest of the Solicitor.
James A. Harrig, a 20-year convict,
caused something of a stir in the
Criminal Division of the Superior
Court Friday when, as a witness in
the case of '(‘lydo A. Thomason, for
mer convict camp boss, on trial for
whipping a convict, he declared that
some of the evidence in favor of
Thomason had heen manufactured
by Captain Tom Donaldson, former-
Iy County Superintendent of Public
Works. Harris also declared that the
guards at the Adamsyille camp and
some of the county police with whom
he had eome in contact since his im-
Dlisnnmehl. were as “fine a bunch of
grafters” as he ever had met.
Thamason was on trial for the whip
ping of James Brannon, a convict, At
the conclusion of this hearing another
case, charging assault to murder, will
be heard. The former camp DOss was
also charged with shooting James
Harris, the witness who accused Don
aldson of framing” testimony.
Thomason was found guilty on the
asszult and battery charge and at the
request of the request of the Solici

intent to murder was quashed, Mr.
Dorsey said he did not think the in
dictment could be prosecuted on ac

Ben Conyers and Luther Rosser,Sr.,
