TWO CONVICT BOSSES FINED FOR CRUELTY
Troops Drawn in Battle Line in Ireland
Declares He Also Will Tell About
Other Missing Things of
Slain Girl.
A. 8, Colyar, dictographer, quondam
“fawye? and mysterious figure in the
Phagan murder case, has been brought
into the light by the latest activity of
Detective Burns and his operatives.
This became known Fridas'; 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
gnd of the ribbons and flowers miss
{ng from her hat.
The strange disappearance of the
glain girl’s mesh bag has remained
one of the baffling and unexplained
features of the case up to the present.
Jdim 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
gaw it on Frank's desk when he went
in to write the murder notes after the
girl had been killed.
Wil Explain All, He Says.
Burns was non-committal when he
was asked If he actually had found
the missing articles or simply had
ascertained their disposition by the
murderer.
“T 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-JF 3t
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
(Gieorgian 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
Jocated 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 defamatofy to Frank's
character.
Says Colyar Ought To Be in Jail.
. “If all I hear about thisman is true,
he ought to be in jail,” raid Burns,
“I imagine he has been successful in
escaping much of the imprisonment
whieh he deserves not so much be
cause he is clever, but because the
authorities think he is not entirely re
gpongible.”
Burns will find out every detail of
Colvar's connection with the detective
department and with Chief Lar fora,
for whom generally understood
he was working when he dictographed
Colo. Thomas B. Felder and Mayor
Voodward. The detective wishes to

Mexican War Speech
WASHINGTON, March 20.—A bit
ter and dramatic attack on President
Wilson was made this afternoon in
the House by Minority Leader Mann.
He said in part:
“When the Moroccan bandit Rai
suli held Perdicardis, an American
citizen, hisg prisoner, the Secretaryv of
State sent this message to the Sul
tan of Morocco: ‘This Government
wants Perdicardis alive or Raisuli
dead.’ |
“Had we had Andrew Jackson in|
the White House at that time, thatl
is what he would have said. We had |
Theodore Roosevelt as President, and
that is what he said. Would to God
we had one or the other of them in
the White House to-day to deal with
the Mexican situation.”

Overseers Who Flogged Prisoners
Must Pay $2OO Each or Serve
Year in Gang.
Clyde Thomason and Ed Tyree,
convict bosses at the Adamson and
Weiauca camps, respectively, were
found guilty Friday of the charges of
cruelty toward the prisoners in thelr
charge and were fined $2OO each with
the alternative of twelve months in
the chaingang, of which they lately
were in control.
The case against Thomason was
made on the information that he had
unmercifullys gaipped James Bran
non, a convict, when Brannon ex
claimed against the shooting of James
Harris, a fellow prisoner, by Thoma
son.
Tyree was accused of flogging Ben
Spratling, a negro prisoner, until the
negro man's skin was in ribbons and
the blood had saturated his clothes.
Prosecution Follows Expose.
The investigation by the Grand
Jury and tHe subsequent indictment
of the convict bosses; together with
the reforms that recently have been
instituted, came after the revelation
of conditions in the convict camps by
The Georgian and The Sunday Amer
ican.
Judge Ben Hill, in pronouncing sen
tence, said that while some of the
convicts undoubtedly had exaggerat
ed the number of lashes given them
and the extent of the cruelties prac
ticed, it was patent that brutality
existed at the camps and had been
practiced both by Tyree and Thoma
son.
The judge was inclined to believe
that Tyree had been an even worse
offender than Thomason, although
Thomason, on one count, had been
charged with assault with intent to
murder in the shqmlng of Harris,
Flogged While Il
Spratling, testifying for the pros
ecution, declared that Tyree had flog
ged him twice in succession, giving
him 25 licks each, time, in spite of
the fact that he (Spratling) was sick
from an abscess in the chest.
Tyree told the court that he was
unaware of Spratling's affliction un
tii the negro testified before the
Grand Jury. Guards at the camp
testified that Tyree whipped Sprat
ling only once and that he applied the
Jash no more than eight times
Thomason was found guilty on the
assault and battery charge and at the
request of the request of the Solici
tor the indictment for assault with
intent to murder was quashed. Mr.
Dorsey said he did not think the in
dictment counld be prosecuted on ac
count of the character of the com
plaining convict and certain circum
stances that had been explained ‘to
him.
Brannon was the first witness
called by the State, He said that he
had been lashed by Thomason on De
cember 19, 1913, because on the day
before he had said, after witnessing
the shooting of Harris, “Oh, God! you
murdered that man, and it was a cruel
and cowardly murder.” Following
this assertion, he said that Thomason
threatened to get even.
william Flynn, a convict, who wit
nessed the whipping of Brannon,
when called by the State, said that
the lashing had been one of the mest
cruel ever given in the camp. He
gald that he was working in the yard
and heard Branncn's cries for mercy.
Harris was the next witness. He

Weather Man Says It Might Be
Good Idea to Protect
Water Pipes.
One of the chilliest nights enjoyed
(or otherwise) by Georgia in any
March of its weather history will de
scend with nightfall Friday, unless
C. F. VonHerrmann, weather fore
caster, is seriously mistaken.
“The temperature will fall to about
25 degrees,” said Mr. VonHerrmann,
“with a severe and killing frost, fa
vored by the damvpness remaining
from the recent rain. Saturday will
be fair, and probably with a rising
temperature after midday, so that the
afternoon will not be unpleasantly
cold.”
The vast rush of cold alr down
from the great Northwest was ¥s
sponsible for the suddenness and se
verity of the change Thursday night.
Real Nip Coming Friday,
The thermometer skrank to 33 &e
-grees Friday morning, and ice was
plentiful. The real nip of the cold
wave, however, will be felt Friday
night, and it might not be a bad idea
(Mr. VonHerrmann fancies) to switch
off the water where pipes are much
exposed to the outside air.
The weather director feeld reason
ably certain that this is the last kick
of the dying winter, and is of the
opinion that the frost will not do se
rious damage, owing to the restrain
ing influence of previous cool weather
on vegetation,
Snow Genera! North.
Snow fell during the night in Virginia,
Tennessee, Te:as, Oklahoma, Alabama
and North Georgia, and Friday morn
ing the temperature began dropping.
In Richmond six inches of snow
covered fha ground at 9 o'clock *Fri
day, and 1n Baltimore a heavy snow
storm sent the thermometer below
the freezing, point. The snow was
general throughout Tennessee, Nash
ville having the heaviest snowfall in
three years, while at Memphis and
(‘hattanooga and many of the smaller
towns heavy snowfalls were reported
In Atlanta the rain of Thursday
afterhoon and evening wuas followed
Friday by a cold snap that sent the
mercury in the weather bhureau's
thermometer down two degrees in
less than two hours, At 7 o'cloek,
the official observation time, the tem
perature was 32 degrees—-just freez
ing; and at 8:30 o'clock the ther
mometer registered 30 degrees, a drop
of 2 degrees
It is not known as vet whether tha
(GGeorgla peach crop has been injured
by the cold. It was stated Friday at
the office of E. l.ee Worghaw, State
lEntomologist, that there is little lika
lihood that great damage was done,
because the high wind kept frost
from forming.

Soldiers Rushed to Ulster and
First Clash Is Expected With
in 24 Hours.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
DUBLIN, IRELAND, March 20—
8 p. m.—The situation in the Ulster
province was so critical to-night that
even the most conservative were pre
dicting that before daybreak thire
would be clashes between the troopers
and the Unionists who are bitterly op
posed to the home rule bill.
With nearly: 4,000 troops spread
along the border and thousands more
being rushed to the vieifify as fast as
possible, England finds herself to
night on the verge of a civil war, that
if it comes, will assume vast propor
tions.
So delicate is the situation now that.
Sir Pdward Carson, leader of the
Unionists,. and one of the bitterest
foes of the home rule bill, has be
come alarmed and is sending word
all his lieutenants to abandon their
warlike attitude. But the Unionists;
for the most part, have been worked
up to a fever pitch, and seem in no
‘mood now to harken to the pleadings
of their leader for peaceful methods.
.~ Among the troops that left late io
‘night for Ulster were the Dorset regi
ment, the Holyroods, the Norfolks and
the Bedfordshire regiments. All thesze
Itroops were fully armed and several
‘of them carried a number of machine
Iguns.
It was learned late to-night that
‘additional orders for troops to pro
ceed to Ulster had been issued and
it seems certain that before to-mor
row forenoon between 7,000 and
10,000 troops would be spread out
‘along the border of the province.

in Holdup Picks One of Trio
as Assailant,
Identification Friday by Pos
tal Clerk Harry B. Melville of
[two of the three yegg suspects
captured Thursday by Sergeant
Bullard and Plainclothes Officer
Shaw ‘led the' police to the con
viction that they have in cus
tody part of the desperate gang
of bandits that held up and
robbed the Queen. and Crescent
passenger train of $40,000 near
Birmingham, ‘Ala., on Febru
ary 19. .
The bandits bear Melville, the pos
tal clerk on duty, almost into insen
sibility and A. O. Perry, the robber
whom Melville positively identifies,
stabbed him in the back and threat
’ened to kil him; ‘according to Mel
ville.
Arrested for Another Crime.
The other two suspects gave their
names as W. B. Gray, allas “Des
Moines Bill,” and Oxford P. Fielda.
They were arrested at No. 89 Brook
line street Thursday on suspicion of
being the yeggs who blew the safe nf
the Walker Bros. store in Grifiin and
robbed it of $BO5.
Melville was brought to Atlanta
Friday to look at the three prisoners
who had been placed among a dozen
others in.the palice station. The pos
tal clerk ot once picked out Perry and
positively identifled him as the men
who had stabbed him and left him for
dead
He pickeds Gray 'also, but was not
80 sure of his identity. Neither was
he certain of Flelds. Perry was ex
tremely nervous as soon as he saw
Melville and is said to have become
greatly excited- when Melville walked,
toward him to identify him. .
Reward of $6,000. f
Postal Inspector Adamson and De
tective Harry Scott, who have worked
on the daring robbery, were present
at the identification. Sheriff Hetson,
of Griffin, came tp Atlanta to arrange
for the return of the three men to
his city to answer for the store rob
bery, but it was thought likely that
they would be taken to Birmingham,
A $6,000 reward was offered for the
capture of the train robbers, and if a
conviction is obtained against the
prisoners, it is understood that Ser
geant Bullard and Officer Shaw will
put in a claim for the reward.
L. W. James, who is associated wiin
Attorney D, K. Johnson, counsel 3
John Nolan, was at police headquar
ters Friday afternoon and indicated
his belief that Perry and not Nolan
is the man who held up and robbed
the N, . & St. L, passenger train be
tween Bolton and Vinings on the
evening of January 16, He said that
passengers on .the train would be
called to look at Perry and that a
new trial would be asked for Nolan,
who was sentenced to 20 years for
the robbery.
