KLINE SAYS THEY WE'RE IN GUY
TON TEN DAYS.

second of the Men Arrested in
Augusta for GuytOn Robbery Land
ed in Jail Here Yesterday Morn
ing-Admitted That He Had Been
Communion of Miller for Several
Weeks and That They Were In
GuytOn on Dec. 3-MiIIer Insists
That He Never Saw Kline Before
Yesterday.
Admitting that he was in Guyton
with Frank Miller ten days before the
safe of the Georgia Manufacturing and
Trading Company was blown open,
and that he left Guyton with Miller
for Augusta, Frank w. Kline, charged
Jointly with Miller with having robbed
the safe of about 800, was brought to
Savannah yesterday morning and
lodged in the county Jail.
Kline is by no means as bright as
Miller, and told a great many things
that are at variance with the state
ment made by the man who is al
Teged to be his partner To repre-
sentative of the Morning News Kline
talked freely-rfon a time.
Then he suddenly ANNOUNCED that
he had already said too much and
no further information could be got
ten from him. He denies all knowl-
edge of the safe robbery, and declares
that he was not in Guyton after the
night of Dec. 8, until he was taken
there again prisoner from Augusta.
The second of the alleged robbers
is only twenty-four years of age, and
claims to be sign painter from Pitts
burg. He met Miller, he said, in
November, about two weeks before
they went to Guyton together. Miller,
Kline says. is a printer, but Miller de-
clares that he is a bricklayer, and
never saw Kline until he was landed
in the Chatham county Jail. Kline
stated that he could not remember in
what place, or under what circum-
stances, he had met Miller, but that
they had been going it together since
that time.
Were Together in GuytOn.
Kline is certain that he and Miller
were together in Guyton on Dec. 3
and that they went to Augusta at
that time, and did not return. He
said that he recognized Miller in Jail
during the day, but had not talked
with him. The prisoners are kept
apart on different floors.
Kline admitted that he was out of
employment and that he had $40 in
cash, when placed in custody by the
Augusta officers. He admitted things
that Miller persistently denies, but in
sists that neither were anywhere near
Guyton on the night of the robbery,
Dec. r., or at any time after that.
He denies that he has ever been I'M
der arrest before.
Even after Miller was told what
statement Kline had made he declar-
ed that he had never seen the man
before. He admitted being in Guy
ton, on Dec. 3, and said that at that
time he was with a sailor. He went
to Guyton with the sailor from Char
lesion he claims. and does not know
what became of the seafaring man
after he left him on the night of
Dec. 3.
Miller Talks Carefully.
Miller is a careful talker and is re-
garded by the plain clothes men who
have seen him as "a wise one" He
claims to be a bricklSyer from Mis-
souri, and denies that he ever made
the statement that he was working
for the government.
THE officers in Augusta were the
ones who said / claimed to work for
the government" Miller declared ''but
that don't make it true, any more than
it makes it true that know
Kline because he says So
I never saw the man be-
fore he was brought into Jail this
morning. and know nothing about him.
1t doesn't matter to me what he says
about it all; I say that l was not in
Guyton after Dec. 8, and know nothing
about the safe robbery.
