The arrest of Mrs. Mary Belle

that she be held for Investigation
BY the Fulton Grand Jury.
The inquest was held Thursday in

sion of the first inquest on June Il.

F. Harris. Of the State Board OF
Health, and Miss Viola Whitman, a
woman who lived with the Crawfords
after the marriage. were the wit

opinion Crawford did not die of pneu-
monia or any disease Of the lungs.

Miss Whitman testified to seeing
Mrs. Crawford give her husband med
icine from a small vial.
Attorneys for Mrs. Crawford al
lowed the verdict to be submitted as
evidence, but stated to the auditor
that they would later file an objec-
tion on the grounds Of the inquest
not having been legal They stoutly
maintained that before the hearing
ends they will introduce positive evil
cence that Crawford died of pneumo-
mia, and that the morphine found in
his stomach was administered by his
family physician.
j. S. James, attorney for the heirs
at-law stated he, in all probability,
would start action along the line out
lined in the recommendation of the
CoroneTs jury. but that he had not
yet determined how soon he would
do so.
That the testimony of DR.. H. F.
Harris would be torn to shreds
by the Introduction of DR.. ]. w. Hurt,
Crawford's physician. was the decla-
ration of Attorney Reuben Arnold.

DR.. Hurt viii testify. according to
Arnold. that for several days
before the death of Mr.. Crawford
he gave him small quantities Of NOR
phine to allay his suffering, and that
II was unquestionably traces of the
drug he administered found in the
stomach when the body was exhumed
last month. More than ten of the
most prominent medical experts will

Crawford Mrs. Crawford was heard
to make damaging statements to a
friend.
Colonel James said he would intro
duce testimony with view to hav-

The GeOrgians exclusive publica-
ton Of the sensational details Of the
w. II. Mincey affidavit, in which Jim
Conley was alleged to have con-
fessed to the killing Of girl the
afternoon that Mary Phagan was
slain, created a big stir Friday in po-
lice circles and immediate efforts
were made to. discred.t the accusa-
tons against the negro,
Detectives set out at once on a
still hunt for Mincey. Lines we're
thrown out to produce witnesses who
would swear that Mlncey's word was
not to be depended upon. The de-
tective force. which virtually had
been resting on its oars in the Pha-
gan case for several weeks, was gal
vanized into action by the startling
charges made in the affidavit of Min
cey. which was first made public by
The Georgian
Police Deny Being Told.
Interviews with the detective heads
brought denials that Mincey ever had
told them the story that was print

the defense. however, corroborated
the published details OF the affida-
Wit.
ut is correct in every detail said
one Of the lawyers 1T was not the
intention to make any Of our impor-

Minceys story has found its way into

B|GGERARMY
POST HERE
CERTAIN
Garrison's Plan to CentraIize Reg
uIars Will Result in Enlarge
ment Of Fort Mcpherson.

That Secretary of War Garrison's
plan to abandon 100 or more "abso-
lutely useless" posts in a move TO
centralize the army will mean an
enlargement Of Fort Mcpherson, max
ing it one Of the largest in the coun-
try, is the consensus of opinion Of
army men here. including Colonel
vanOrslale Of the Seventh Regiment.
Nor is this opinion haphazard
guess. The officers base their knowl-
edge Of the matter largely on re-
marks mace by General Leonard
Wood. chief of staff, on his last visit
to Atlanta.
If the plan OF aentralizing the
army, which has been under consii-
eratSe4a~SeF--ses -y.sans.-is-pu into
effect said General wood on this
occasion Fort Mcpherson win be
come one of the largest posts in the
country"
Wood to Advise Secretary.
As General Wood VII be one Of the
chief advisers Of Secretary Garrison,
accompanying him on his tour of the
posts, there is little doubt, il is point
ed out. that the Georgia post will re-
ceive favorable consideration. g.
Garrison, General Wood and Quar-
termaster General Aleshire, who win
make the inspection of the army
posts. will begin their tour next week.
Atlanta is too strategic a point for
the War Department even to con-
slider its abandonment. according to
Colonel VanOrsdale.
Il hardly think it is possible that
Fort Mcpherson is being included IN
plans for army post abandonment"
said ne. IF such a movement is on
foot | would be inclined to believe
that it has to do with posts in the
West and on the frontier, which are
quite a distance from the railroad and
which hold but a handful of troops in
many cases.
Atlanta a Strategic Point.
"1'he location of Fort Mcpherson
puts US within twelve hours Of the
Atlantic and twelve hours OF the Gulf
coasts, the great number of railroads
Atlanta making it a central
point. There are other big advan-
tages also which make the abandon
ment of this post out OF the question,
II seems TO me.
IF troops are to be concentrated.
Congress must first appropriate
money with which to build quarters
at the larger posts sufficient to ac-
"a much larger number Of
men. For instance. there has been
talk of making Fort Mcpherson d
brigade post, bat before this can be
it will be necessary 10
put up additional buildi--es. l believe
a su.Acient appropriation for this will
be granted if Secretary Garrison de-
cides to continue the post.
When questioned as to the probable
abandonment Of Fort Oglethcrpe, at
Chickamauga Park. Colonel VanOrs-
dale said he did not believe the War
would consider its elimi-
nation, as it is a splendid strategic
point.

NEW MAP OF BARRE.
Is Being Completed at the City En-
gineer's Office.

City Engineer George A. Reed and his
assistants in the engineering office were
busy today putting the final touches to
| the new map OF Barre City, which was
authorized by the city council sometime
ago. II is the first official plan of Barre
streets, railroads and water ways pub
lished in nine years, lapse of time
which has witnessed good many
changes in the typographical complexion
of the city as well as the methods of
map making Instead of the discolored
blue prints by which the city was rep
resented in old maps, white back
Iground is furnished for distinct black
marks for different streets, railroads,
rivers etc. Ii is measured to q scale of
four hundred feet to the inch and the
regulation size will be 33x4S inches.
From Cedar and Boston streets de-
scending from the heights of Batchel
der's knob to six-cylnder Ford and
Packard streets to the south, from far
Salem and Concord streets in the west
to the limits OF Cassie. Clifton and
Brook streets to the east, the map pre-
sents many new changes. The change
in the running course of Stevens branch
is one of the most noticeable features OF
the map. Not since the project was
completed in 1911 has city map APP
peared with the river running through
Burnhams meadow Likewise all of the
new streets staked and sponsored by the
city fathers have been credited with a
place on the new chart.
With reference to street location, rail
road courses and water ways, the map is
the most accurate ever completed. The
system has been followed
and through it the principal points in
every avenue of traffic may be located
on sight. Official charts which are to
hang in the city offices have been filed
in with lines and figures which indicate
the fire alarm system, the Orange, Boil
ster and spring water systems as well
as the lighting system. One of the new
charts will be framed and hung in the
council chamber. Compiling a new
graphic representation of the city has
involved much work and many months
u surveying. Twenty-Five new streets !
appear on the white surface of the chart |
