ALL HINGES
IN PAINTER
MYSTERY
ON TEST
Action Delayed Until Chemists
Report on Search for Poison
in Vital Organs,
BY COLE E. MORGAN.

JACKSONVILLE, June Every
step in clearing up the Painter insur-
ance mystery now hangs on the re-
ports Of chemical and pathological
analysis Of Painters vital organs by
Baltimore chemists. and to-day mat
tiers are at a standstill at the Jack
sonviIle end. Neither the Coroner in
surance agents, the family nor the
e. C. Painter Fertilizer Company is
making a move, and none is in pros
pect until Baltimore is heard from.
A veil Of secrecy seems to shroud de-
veIopments In Baltimore.
The will Of Painter will be filed
late thi afternoon, The widow,
daughter and Attorney S. F Williams,
who rumor says is engaged to Miss
Okle Painter minor daughter Of the
dead man. called at Probate Judge
Phillips office at 1 o'clock this after
noon ana ascertained the manner in
which to proceed It is said the es-
tate. exclusive Of insurance, amounts
to 100000
Coroner G.. D. Abbott declared to-
dav that he had received no positive
Information as 20 when the chemists
= would report. He will not act until
report is made.
Painters organs were expressed to
Baltimore in the name Of Dr. P. C..
Perry. who represents the family, but
Coroner Abbott telegraphed and pre-
vented a delivery to anyone but the
chemists designated by the Coroner.
The physicians who performed the
autopsy here and went to Baltimore
on the same train with the express
shipment We're not permitted to again
see the organs until they we're in the
hands of the chemists authorized to
examine them
This partly explains the reported
disappearance Of the organs in Balu-
more.
Insurance Men Await Tests.
State agents Of several Of the insur-
ance companies interested were in
conference yesterday afternoon, but
took no action because of the failure
10 hear from Baltimore, planning to
meet again when the report comes.
Painters place in two civic bodies
has been filled by the election of
Zach Anderson as Port Commissioner
and DR.. W. H. Stnson on the Board
Of Trades foreign commerce com
mittee.
Pinkerton detectives have just com
pleted a detailed investigation into
IN death Of F. o. Painter and have
forwarded their reports to interested
insurance companies. On the infor-
nation gathered by them viii be
based the probable contests over the
insurance on Painters life. They
have gone into every angle Of the big
insurance mystery and the reports
are most comprehensive in detail.
The insurance companies do not
mean 10 show their hand until after
the Coroners inquest is concluded
next week. They are awaiting the
evidence to be brought out in that
hearing before publicly outlining their
plan Of action.
II is known. however, that the in
vestigation made by the detectives
has been painstakingly complete and
lends additional color TO the suicide
theory.
The death certificate signed by the
family physicians reads: Cause IF
death unknown. VIII report later.
These physicians. like the insurance
companies. are awaiting the results OF
the analysis.

Inc woman denies dDSOluJt
her by the police, and denies tina
public by the police.
The Georgian presented the
Mcknight affidavit to its read
ers with the distinct admonition
that it must not be accepted as
credible evidence until passed
on in a court of law. The aft
davit was so full of strange in
coherencies and the need for
some explanation was so appar-
ent that a further investigation
was decided upon.
The cooks statement giving the
case a new and startling turn, Is
therefore presented just as the police
afidavit was-for what it Is worth
and not as evidence It IL an utter
and absolute population Of the atfi-
davit printed Wednesday and which
purported TO have been signed and
sworn to by her.
She denied unequivocally that she
had made the startling statements in
the alleged affidavit which might send
Leo Frank to the gallows could their
truth be established beyond a doubt
Repudiates Whole Affidavit.
She repudicated the alleged affida-
Wit as a whole and In detail. She
made her denials willingly and en-
phatically There was no hesitation
in her replies. Her first comment on
the alleged affidavit constituted a
complete and absolute denial Of its
truth.
Her statements were made at her
home in the rear Of 351 Pulliam
Street. Only her husband, Albert
Mcknight, and the Georgian reporter
we're present. No member Of the
Frank family was about to influence
her replies in any manner. If any
influence could have been exerted il
would be supposed 10 have been in
the opposite direction. as It was her
husband who was said indirectly to
have furnished the information which
resulted in her arrest and the three
hours third degree" in the office of
Chief Lanford
Mcknight, however, furnished an
other sensation by declaring that he
never had heard his wife say those
things which he is reported to have
told at the hardware shop Of Beck &
Gregg. and which resulted in her
grilling.
Says She Had No Attorney.
The Mcknight woman even went so
FAR as to say that she had no attor-
ney. Yet the affidavit she is alleged
to have signed said:
g. You make it Of your own free
will and in the presence Of Mr.. Cor
don, your attorney?
"A. Yes, sir"
To The Georgian, the Mcknight
woman declared that she did not
know who Mr. Gordon was
'I amt got no lawyer 'cept God,
He's my lawyer" she cried. raising
her right hand toward heaven. You
jus' put that in the paper. You JUS
tell them 1 amt got no lawyer, 'cept
Cod"
Did you sign any AFFIDAVIT in the
office Of Chief Lanford? ?" was the
first question that was asked the Nc
knight woman.
NO. sir. never had pen or pen
ell in my hand" she replied
Most All Jack Of Lies"

says as it was published in the pa
pers

The remainder Of her statement. in
effect. was:
I did not say that Frank was in the
house only about ten minutes when
he came home about 1880 on the Sat
urday Of the murder.
Denies Statements in Detail,
! did not say that I understood that
a girl and Mr.. Frank were caught at
the Office Saturday.
I did not say that l heard Miss Lu-
cile (Mrs. Frank say that Frank was
drunk Saturday night and made her
sleep on the floor.
I did not say that / heard Miss Luz
cile tell her mother that Mr.. Frank
had said that he was in trouble and
didn't know the reason why he would
murder" and that he told his wife to
get his pistol and let him kin himself
I didn't say they gave me extra
money TO make me keep quiet.
I didn't say that ! made any aft
davit in the presence Of Mr. Gordon,
my attorney.
The strange turn that has been
given by the Mcknight woman's re-
pudiation % the affidavit and her dec
laration that she never even had a
pen or pencil in her hand adds fresh
mystery to the hunt the detectives are
making after the slayer OF Mary Pha-
gan.
Actions Appeal Peculiar.
That the woman would make state
ments most damaging to Frank and
then calmly return 10 his home 10
work is peculiar in itself
That she would make these state
ments and then, almost the moment
she is at liberty, utterly repudiate
them. is still more inexplicable.
Several explanations have been Of
fered, but they are only guesses, at
the best. The Implication contained
in the Mcknight voman's emphatic
denial is that the testimony in the
affidavit was manufactured by the de-
tectives and not given by herself II
is regarded as unfair. however, to
draw this inference, as it has to De
taken into consideration that the Nc
Knight woman is nuiterate and that
there was great opportunity Cor mis-
understanding and confusion.
a still weightier consideration with
others is contained in their declaration
that there is no basis for the assump-
ton that the detective force is after
anyone but the guilty man or that they
would frame" evidence against any
man.
Mcknight Disavows All Accusations.
Another strange feature Of this
phase Of the case is Meningitis sud
den change Of attitude, II change
there actually has been. It was re-
ported that Mcknight had informed
persons at the Beck & Gregg hard
ware store that his wife had told him
Of conversations between Mrs. Frank
and her mother that strongly in
dicated Franks guilt. To The Geor-
gian Mcknight said that he had done
nothing Of the kind.
He declared that his wife never had
told him that she overheard Mrs.
Frank tell her mother that Frank has
said that ne was in trouble and didn't
know the reason why he would muir
der"
He was piled with questions as y
other statements in the affidavit un-
,l he finally said. half angrily.
