Tor two months. Then he was dis
covered by the officers and sent to
the State farm at Milledgeville. His
last words to his family as ne was
taken from his home were curses on
them for having turned him up" or
betrayed him to the law. Whether
they did or not was never proven.
From the Milledgeville institution
Mccullough was sent to join the
Monroe County changing. He has
now served Is months of his 1S-year
term.
Mccullough is an extremist in all
things. Physically he is a powerful
man; mentally he is without moral
sense, and while he is the most des-
perate character in the camp and the
only man prisoner over whom a
guard keeps watch day and night,
stlll he is the best worker Of them all
In the camp Mccullough remains
aloof from his fellow prisoners He
suffers from melancholia a great deal
and has nursed his hatred against
his family until the flame has blazed
into almost a mania
Only Nature Softens Him,
Only the sight of some pet or cap
tured animal about the camp
quiets him. Then his nature changes
instantly, and from the cursing half
maniac the powerful man becomes a
child, and his hatred is drowned in
his love for the things Of nature.
Only recently did the convict learn
of his malady that he was afflicted
with heart disease. When informed
of this he was struck with terror, not
of death, but the probable disposal Of
his body. He had visions of his still
form surrounded by his family-the
ones he hated. Then it was that he

GIRL IS
REAL STAR IN
FRANK CASE
State, However, Must Prove She
Entered Factory Before
Mary Phagan,

With the selection Of the court room
made Thursday. all is virtually in
readiness for the trial of Leo NJ
Frank, accused of strangling Mary
Phagan. The venire of jurymen has
been selected and July 2S fixed as the
date, and both sides have announced
they are ready to go into court.
A definite decision was reached by
Judge L. S. Roam to hold the trial
on the first floor of the old City Hall
building. The decision was reached
after a conference with Solicitor Gen
eral Dorsey, and It was represented
as impracticable to hold the trial in
the small and not ventilated
court room in the Thrower building.
The State is maintaining its deter
mined attitude toward the subpenas
duces tecum issued by the defense.
Frank A. Hooper, assisting in the
prosecution, has branded them as
palpable trick to discredit the testi-
mony Of the States witnesses.
Girl Star Witness.
The witnesses will be present with
the affidavits called for, but a hot
fight will be put up by Solicitor Dor
sey and Attorney Hooper to prevent
their use by the defense.
Monteen Slower a timid little IA
year old girl, will be a star witness in
the trial, according to all indications
Thursday.
The State, if it is able to establish
that MOnteen Slower entered the fac
tory on the day Of the crime just
after Mary Phagan went inside, will
have scored a most significant vic
tory. The evidence will still be cir
cumstantial it is true, but it will be

ley, who has sworn that he aided
Frank in disposing of the body.

Her story, however, until it is sub
adds to the mystery of a crime which
already abounds in battling and mys-
ferrous phases. Her appearance on
the witness stand may mean every
thing or nothing-because there is the
points to Monteen Slower having en-
Phagan.
Monteen Slower is the daughter of
Mrs. Homer Edmonson, of III South
Forsyth Street. She formerly was
employed at the pencil factory, and

HATRED Of OWN FAMILY
+. LEADS DOOMED CONVICT
To AUCTION OFF HIS BODY

FORSYTH, GA. June 26.-Hatred
of his own family has prompted
Thomas A Mccullough, a convict in
the Monroe County changing, to ad-
vertise his own body for sale to the
highest bidder.
Self-sworn never again to have
anything to do with his relatives. he
Is now in mortal fear that his body
after death viii be turned over to

has been increased by the physicians
statement that he is suffering from
heart disease and has not long to live
The money which his body would
bring is a secondary matter to the
convict. His one real desire is that
death shall not. seal the breach which
he has cherished and >broadened in
life between himself and his family
Therefore, by disposal of his body to
some medical school for experiments
ne hopes to eliminate this possibility
"cut Up While Alive"
Why shouldn't they buy me?" Nc
Cullough exclaimed as he leaned his
great, hairy body against his pick and
looked down at his interviewer. "Tve
been cut up while alive and I wouldn't
care if they cut me up after l am
dead.
If I've got a thing to do with II,
not a single member of my family will
get my body when I die. l don't want
them to have thing to do with me.
I'd rather be left out for the buzzards
than be turned over to them"
McCulloughs strange hatred is
founded upon his belief that his fam
lily turned him up" when he was in
hiding from the officers Of the law
following his escape from the camp
some months ago.
He had been sentenced to eighteen
years penal servitude for the murder
of a negro in Spalding County. The
deed was the outcome of a quarrel
between the two in a gambling game.
Caught After Three Months.
Mccullough was sent to the Nor
gan County convict camp. but es-
capped three months later Eluding
the officers through briar patches and
woods, the fugitive finally made his
way back to his home in Spaldlng
County. He remained there in hiding
