ACQUITTAL SEEN
IN CHURCH
INQUIRY
Macon Christian Elders to Report
Verdict in CharIton-Lester
Case Sunday.

MACON, July 5.-The elders Of the
First Christian Church will report to
the congregation Sunday morning on
their investigation into the alleged
visit made by Professor Frank NJ.
Charlton, the choir leader, to the home
Of Mrs. Marvin Lee Lester, secretary
of the Ladies' Aid Society. on the
night Of June 5.
1t is very probable that the elders
will declare TO the church that their
inquiry has failed to prove the charge
against the two prominent members
Of the congregation who are now un-
der suspicion. 1t will be left to the
congregation whether there shall be
an open trial.
The elders last night visited the
home of Mrs. Lester on CARING Ave-
nue. to determine II Mrs. J. w Jen-
kins could have recognized Professor
Charlton from the porch of her home
across the street from the Lester res
idence.
One Of the elders entered the alley
and stood by the side gate OF the Les
ter back yard and other elders got
on the porch Of the Jenkins home and
endeavored to distinguish him. They
were unsuccessful, they say, and for
that reason they are DUBIOUS as TO
Mrs. Jenkins and Mrs. Alma ARM
strong's statement that they positive
ly recognized Professor Charlton.
The exclusive publication in Macon
yesterday by The Georgian of the fact
Of the investigation being in progress
caused a genuine sensation.
Now that the affair has gotten in
the papers" says Rev. Leroy NJ. An
derson the pastor, Il am more than
ever determined that there shall be
thorough investigation"
The elders have several more per-
sons to examine tonight.

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 writ of
habeas corpus for the release of the
negro.
Attorney Chappeli 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 walt until
Frank went into his Office for a key
to the elevator door.
The defense will maintain, 1t 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 fabrication devised to
shield himself from the charge of
murder and to shift the responsibility
onto another man.
To AssaiI 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 20 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 he issued his last affidavit.
The negro admitted the story Of
writing the notes on Friday was false.

IDEAFOR
100000 CLUB
IS PRAISED
Advertising Expert, ex-Charleston
Man, Tells Of Plans Success
in Former Home.

NJ. c. Maxwell, recently come to At
lanta from Charleston, S. c., where
he was president of the Ad Mems
Club, said Thursday that he wanted
to get in as a charter member of the
100000 club. He explained that he
had been associated with a similar
plan in Charleston and that he was
glad to find such definite means of
expressing the Atlanta spirit.
The Georgian's suggestion for a
100000 club to get 100000 people here
by 1920 is a great thing" he said. II
have noticed the $25 prize offer for
the best slogan to go on the but
tons of this club.
Buttons Sold in Charleston.
There's no doubt about every 10y
al citizen wearing these buttons.
Why, l believe they even would be
glad to pay for them.
Tn Charleston we wanted to raise
$4,000 to move the museum. We de-
Cided to sell buttons. This was the
slogan adopted:
"'See Charleston first, always.
Then so men got to work on the
streets and we sold 5000 of these
buttons at 81 each
so much for the button idea. At
lanta is too far ahead to be led by
Charleston.
Urges Letter Head Slogan.
With the Atlanta spirit what it is
there is no telling to what extent
the button idea will go.
Il think 1t would be good for all
business firms to have 500, 900 people
in 1920 printed on their letter heads
"One thing I'm sure about I'm
glad to get to Atlanta to live"
Mr.. Maxwell is associated with the
Rhodes Wood Furniture Company.
