SPURIOUS MONEY is FOUND.
Flynn Sends Out Warnins-5ad Ten
and Twenty Dollar Bills Passed.

In spite Of repeated warnings from
Washington and numerous recent con-
victions of counterfeiters in various
parts of the country, New York and
other cities are still flooded with spu-
rious money. A large amount was
passed among New York merchants
during the rush of holiday shopping.
and the banks have been kept busy
stamping the bills counterfeit and turn
ing them in to the ~subtreasury.
Secret Service Chief Flynn's first
warning from his new office came
from Washington and told Of a new
twenty dollar gold certificate which
his men are finding in various parts of
the country. w. II. Moran, who was
acting head Of the service before Flynn
went to Washington, sent out a warn
ing a few weeks ago Of another TWEEN
ty dollar bill, the maker of which OPP
eratives are trying hard to find.
That a large number Of bad ten dol
lar gold certificates, whose circulation
is now made public for the first time,
have been passed In New York was
shown by the number of them which
a reporter found had been folsted on

He admitted that his first story of
never having seen Mary Phagan. dead
or alive, was a deliberate lie He is
reported to have further changed his
story by admitting seeing the girl be-
fore she was killed. Dut. except fo-
this, he maintains his last affidavit
is the whole truth. The defense be-
lieves it is as false as the rest and
is preparing to go into court and
break down utterly the fabrication
that the negro has erected.
Notes to Play Part.
Although the notes found by the
body of the slain girl have received
little attention from those working on
the case lately, they are bound to
have a most important part in the
trial of Frank
The defense will seek to show that
there could have been no possibility
OF their being dictated by the factory
superintendent; that if the negro had
taken Franks dictation, supposing
that Frank had committed the crime,
much different sort of a note would
have been the result.
Conley has shown since his arrest
that he can follow dictation with d
fair degree of accuracy. This being
the case, it is reasonable to presume,
the defense will hold, that he would
have followed Franks words closely.
But the notes are an incoherent, jun
bled mass of words that are only ha.f
ineligible after the detectives have
placed weeks of study upon them. The
defense will contend that such a no1e
can not be imagined, by any process
of reasoning, as the dictation OF
Frank

WRIT SOUGHT IN
MOVE To FREE
NEGRO LEE
Attorney for Waterman Declares
Client Knows Nothing of the
Actual Crime.

Bernard L. Chappell. attorney for
Newt Lee, negro night Waterman
at the pencile factory held in the Pha-
gan case, stated Thursday morning
that he would swear out a writ of
habeas corpus for the release Of the
negro.
Attorney ChappeE stated that he
had come to the conclusion that there
was nothing the negro knew about
the crime except finding the body, ana
that the State had no right to keep
him without some charge or as a
material witness.
Lee was the first suspect arrested
in connection with Mary Phagan's
murder. He was ordered held by the
Coroner, but when a bill of indictment
was offered the Grand Jury at the
same time of the Frank indictment.
no action was taken against the ne
gro.
Weak Spots in conIey Tale.
Chappell said the writ of habeas
corpus would compel the State either
to order the negro held as a material
witness or make some charge against
him.
Conley, in relating his dramatic tale
of carrying the body of Mary Phagan
from the rear of the second floor and
dispOsing of it at the direction of
Frank in a dark corner of the gloomy
basement, said that when he reached
the elevator he had to wait until
Frank went into his office for key
10 the elevator door.
The defense will maintain. it is I'M
derstood, that the elevator door had
not been locked for some time. Wit
nesses will be called to testify that
the door had remained unlocked in
accordance with instructions from the
firms with which the building was
insured. From this alleged circum-
stance. it will be argued that the ne
gro's story is a fabrication devised to
shield himself from the charge of
murder and to shift the responsibility
onto another man.
To Assail Whole Story.
This is only one particular of at
least score which will be assailed
by Attorneys Luther 2. Rosser and
Reuben R. Arnold, who are represent
ing Frank. They will say in the first
place that the elevator was not run
ming at all on the day of the crime,
in spite of Conley's story that the
body was carried down to the base
ment by this means. Harry Denham
and Arthur White. who were working
on the fourth floor of the factory, will
be called to testify to this.
With the defense and prosecution
awaiting the day when the great le-
gal battle which will send Frank 10
the gallows or free him from the
stigma of the murder charge shall
begin, Franks lawyers are occupying
much Of their time in making a Criti-
cal ANALYSIS of the succession of weird
statements credited to the negro from
the time he said he wrote on the
Friday before the murder at the die
tation of Frank the notes that were
found beside the body of the dead
girl until ne issued his last affidavit
The negro admitted the story Of
writing the notes on Friday was false.
