The numerous roots send out plants

Vigorous war on loafers and va

day morning. as the first step in a
campaign to rund up the gangs OF
burglars and footpads who have been
terrorizing parts of Atlanta for the
last two weeks.
Chief Beavers made a personal plea
to members of the day watch to ar
rest every person who does not give
a satisfactory account of himself, and
to force all suspects to prove they
have a means of livelihood other
than hanging around pool rooms and
street corners.

,the Chief to the patrolmen, Il want

close watch and pick up all suspicious
characters.

looms, and If you see loafers there,
arrest them. If they claim they work
take their names and addresses and
investigate. If you find they are ly-
ing, lock them up.

that breeds crime and vice"
Detectives Get Orders, Too.
Chief Beavers announced that he
will issue his personal instructions to
the evening and morning watches
and impress upon them the necessity
for increased vigilance to rid the city
of the gangs Of criminals that have
flocked here within the last week or
ten days.
The detectives have been given or
ders similar to those issued to the
patrolmen, and Chief Beavers says, he
will crowd the city jail with loafers
and Migrants if necessary to stop the
epidemic of crime.

TRIAL
WILL NOT
Be LONG
D Ne
Few Witnesses Of the Scores Elk.
amined Will Be Called When
Case Is Heard.

That the trial of Leo M. Frank will
take a much shorter time than is
generally thought was indicated in a
statement by Judge L. S. Roam. The
judge said the greatest difficulty and
almost as great a length of time
would be consumed in drawing a jury
as in the hearing of the case. He
said the actual taking Of evidence
might not consume more than a day.
Judge Roam intimated that he ex-
pected neither side to introduce the
scores of witnesses who had been ex-
amined and made affidavits, but that
from these witnesses the State and
the defense would select the most
material evidence, or salient points,
and then introduce the most reliable
witness who could cover the ground
For instance, eight or ten different
persons might be able to testify on
some different minor points, whiel
there would be one witness who could
testify to the same thing the differ
ent witnesses could. This witness. he
thought would be the one to go on
the stand, and the others would not
be summoned
AffidaVits Are Plentiful.
As matter Of fact, it is known
that only a comparatively small num-
Der of the witnesses examined by the
Solicitor will be introduced at the
trial In the course of his investiga-
ton he secured an affidavit from al
most every employee OF the pencil
factory While he questioned them
closely and had each sign an affida-
Wit, he found little that threw any
new light on the case. He examined
them, he said to be sure that he
would overlook nothing that might
have been missed at the Coroner's in
quest or by the police.
Only very few of these witnesses
knew anything that could be used at
the trial, he said, and it was very
doubtful whether they would lie
called.
Scores Were Questioned.
Other witnesses by the score were
brought to the Solicitors Office as a
result of the wild rumors connecting
with the crime women who had seer
Mary Phagan at various times during
the ay. The result of these afidavits
was only to establish the fact that
they knew nothing of the crime. and
in the greater number of instances
they did not know Mary Phagan.
When the Solicitor returns to the
city Saturday or Sunday. he will an
nounce definitely whether he will go
to trial June 30, and If 1t is decided
to do so. a jury will be drawn and
subpenaes will be issued for wit
nesses The defense will in all prob
ability summon its own witnesses,
although each side viii have to ac-
quaint the other with the names be-
fore the case goes to trial.

Colonel Huff Wants

his fate.
Colonel Huff was found guilty last
month, but Judge Grubb has given no
intimation as to when he will pass
sentence or what that sentence will
be. Lawyers state that Judge Grubb
may delay passing sentence as long
as he pleases.
