Attorneys for Widow Of Capitalist
Declare Poison Evidence
Will Be Shattered.

A positive statement from DR.. F.
H. Harris, of the State Board of
Health. that Joshua Crawford died of
morphine poisoning instead of pneu-
monia. the announced cause of his
death by the attending physician. DIR.
]. w. Hurt, was the sensational de-
velopment in the Crawford $3.50, 600
will case Thursday.
DR., Harris was called to the stand
at noon. Attorney Reuben Arnold, for
Mrs. Mary Belle Crawford. the widow,
to whom all the estate was left, pin
ned him to the assertion.
For the first time in his career, he
said, he deviated from his custom of
merely mentioning possibilities or
probabilities.
There was absolutely no trace Of
pneumonia or any disease of the
lungs" said DR. Harris. Morphine
poisoning very likely produced death
Statement mistaken.
LII AAdiils was On tue slduu IDi
very nearly an hour, but his state
ment was mistaken.
No announcement would be made
by the attorneys for the heirs at law,
who number more than thirty, but it
was confidently understood they
would not rest the case with the in
PRODUCTION of DR.. Harris, but would
have other experts, and probably
members of the family to take the
stand in an effort to substantiate the
evidence of DR.. Harris.
Attorney Arnold stated that the
evidence of Dr. Harris would be torn
to pieces when he put DR.. J. w Hurt
on the stand to tell of administering
morphine and opium to Crawford in
an effort to stop the violent fits of
coughing and near congestion of the
lungs, with which he suffered in the
last month of his life.
Widow Not In Court
He intimated also that he would
introduce experts to prove that the
quantities of opium and morphine
found in Crawfords stomach by Dr.
Harris were not sufficient to produce
death, nor more than a normal dose
administered by the average physi-
clan
Mrs. Crawford, the widow, was not
in the courtroom Wednesday when
the poison theory was advanced by
DR.. Harris. and it was doubtful
whether she would attend the hearing
Thursday
Heirs at-law to the estate and their
friends attended in large numbers,
and despite the fact it is a strictly
civil procedure and no court official
is presiding, it had all the appear
ance and interest of a sensational
criminal trial.

1t became known Thursday
that this affidavit, which is in the
hands Of the defense, will be the
principal reliance, aside from the
alibis which have been establish
ed for Frank, in bringing an ac-
quittal of the accused man and
obtaining a conviction against
the negro.
No other evidence, in all Of the
more than two months investigation
Of the mystery. has been so damning
and so direct. The defense has prac-
tically only to establish the credita-
bility Of Mincey to assure itself of
victory.
Said He Had Killed Girl.
This sensational information is the
first hint that the public has had that
the negro was alleged to have made a
confession Of the crime. Up to this
time the detectives have said that
Conley has denied all connection with
the killing itself
I've killed a girl to-day; I don't
want to kill nobody else" are the
words that Mincey swore Conley
spoke to him the afternoon that Mary
Phagan was murdered in the pencil
factory.
Mincey at the time of which his af-
hdavit relates was selling life insur-
ance in the negro districts. He knew
Conley and had been after him sew
eral times to take out life insurance,
according to the story he told in the
office of Attorney Rosser.
ConIey Was Drunk.
on the afternoon of the murder Of
Mary Phagan he met Conley near
Electric and Carter Streets. Conley
was sitting down with his head in his
hands, apparently intoxicated
How about that insurance." Min
cey says he asked ConIey.
Get away from here. 1 don't want
no insurance, ConIey is said to have
replied.
Mincey says in his affidavit that he
urged Conley further and that the
negro appeared to be angry.
Il tell you l don't want no insur-
ance; I'm in trouble. l don't want
you to bother me-" Mincey swears
Conley retorted.
Mincey asserts that he stayed to
argue with Conley and that the negro
finally said:
You go away. I'll be in Jail in q
few days and 1 won't want any in
surance."
Negro Was Enraeed.
His satrtling confession of murder
is alleged to have come when he be-
came euraged at Mincey's continued
opportunities.
The negro jumped to his feet and
advanced toward Mincey menacingly,
according to the affidavit
I've killed girl to-day; I don't
want to kill nobody else!" Mincey
declared Conley shouted at him.
Mincey thought little of the re-
mark at the time. regarding Con-
ley's remarks as mere braggadocio or
an exaggeration of some negro fight
in which he had been involved. When
he read of the Phagan murder he re-
called the remarks of Conley.

GARRISON PLANS

ARMY POSTS
War Secretary Calls Them Use
less, DemoraIiziDg, WastefuI.
Ready to Fight Congress.

WASHINGTON, July 10.-The most
radical and dramatic move in army
administration since Elihu Root reor-
ganized II a decade ago has been de-
teTmined by Secretary Of War CARR q
son. He intends to fight Congress on
the question Of maintaining 100 or
more absolutely useless" army posts
in the interior.
He intends to withdraw troops from
at least Is per cent of them in the
interest Of economy and efficiency,
and next Wednesday will start on a
five weeks tour Of the posts to crys-
tallize the details of the policy he an
nounced to-day.
Scores "Pork Barrel" System.
Secretary Garrison is disguised
with the "wasteful and extravaganr
way in which the army is being CON
Quoted" and lays It all to the system
Of maintaining army posts as part Of
the pork barrel" into which every
member OF Congress dips his fingers.
There are at present 157 posts in the
country, an average of one post to
every ESQ soldiers in the army. Every
State is represented.
The Secretary of War has made a
preliminary investigation, which has
proved to him that the maintenance
of all these posts, OF which he be-
Heves that 100 are unnecessary, is not
only demoralizing to the army, but
the most extravagant way of wasting
Government money ever devised.
Plans to Block Congress.
II Congress obstructs his policy Of
unifying the posts, the Secretary Of
War intends to use his executive
powers Of Withdrawing troops from
those posts which he believes are IN
necessary. He declares he has abso-
lutte power in this direction. and with
the Presidents consent, could concen.
trate the entire army in Washington
If he so desires He intends to use
this power in fighting Congress
should the latter determine to nullify
his policies of post concentration.
Mr.. Garrison will be accompanied
by Major General Leonard Wood.
