NAT GOODWIN WAS FUSED.

Nat Goodwin says that he never
taught a Sunday school class but once
in his sweet and joyous life. and then
for a moment he was dreadfully en-
barrassed.
Walking through a Western town of
Sunday afternoon goes the story,
Nat CHANGED to stop at Sunday
school, and after being given the glad
hand and made welcome by the su-
perintendent, he was asked by that
man if he would take the place of
one of the regular teachers, a middle
aged woman who was i'll.
Nat was willing to oblige, and was
led to the class by the superintend-
ent, but great was his CONSERVATION
when he saw that he was to teach a
bevy of beautiful maidens instead of
a bunch of small kids. as he had ex-
pected. Still, Nat was game.

PRINCES VISITS LIMITED.

London.-During next year a new
rule will be observed with reference
to invitations to country houses in the
case of the Prince of Wales. When
this topic was last discussed it was
pointed out that his majesty was dis
inclined to encourage the reception of
invitations for his royal highness
where it was a question of a visit of
more than a few hours.
Lord and Lady Mount-Stephen
were permitted to inaugurate the new
regime by receiving at Brocket Hall
not only the king and queen, but also
the Prince Of Wales.
In the future such invitations will
not be given on all occasions, and, in
any event, they will never be sent out
when his royal highness is at the
varsity or engaged on active duties
of any kind.

Victims,
(RY w. B. Thompson.l

London.-The raid upon high
class gaming establishment in Wilton
crescent has created some consterna-
ton among the aristocratic gambling
fraternity of Mayfair, and although
the police are to be commended for
having made a start in the attempt to
stamp it out these hotbeds of gam
bling, they have by no means got
hold of the worst cases.
If the amount of money lost and
won in Mayfair during the afternoons
play was tabulated it would, to use
a colloquialism, make ones hair stand
on end.
Some Have Regular Touts.
Some of these establishments have
hegular touts in the naval and mill
tary clubs where a proper supply of
rich young subalterns, waiting to be
filched of their easily earned emolu-
ments always can be relied upon. In
order to cater for this eXtravagant
class of recruit, the owners of these
dens spare no pains to make their or
CARNATIONS as attractive as possible.
Sc profitable are these places that
the proprietor of one of them-situ-

which is very pleasing to Parisians. He

ton of William H. Mincey, an in
surance solicitor, that he had heard
the negro boast on the afternoon of
the crime of killing a girl.
For nearly two months a self-con-
fessed accessory after the fact of the
murder of the little factory girl, Con-
ley has been allowed to go without an
attempt at bringing an indictment
against him. The startling new evil
dence which indicates most strongly,
il the credibility of the defense's wit
ness can be established, that Conley
was not the accessory after the fact,
but the actual principal in the crime,
is expected to result in a thorough in
vestigation by the Grand Jury of all
the rumors and stories which have
been in circulation of the negro's con-
nection with the pencil factory trag
edy.
Counsel Relies on Mincey.
Attorneys for the defense have ex-
pressed themselves as satisfied that
Mincey's word is to be relied upon,
and that his remarkable affidavit
published in The Georgian is true in
every particular.
Solicitor Dorsey Friday morning
would make no comment on the new
evidence.
The detectives openly declared their
disbelief in the statements of Mincey.
They said that he told a different
story when he was at police head
quarters and that he asserted after
confronting the negro that Conley
was not the man with whom he talked
the afternoon that Mary Phagan was
murdered.
Chief Lanford. of the city detec-
tives, and Harry Scott, of the Pinker-
tons. said that if Mincey had related
to them the story told in his sensa
tionaI affidavit they would have made
an immediate investigation in an at
tempt to verify it and would have
sworn out a warrant charging Conley
with the murder if a basis for the
story could have been found.
Denies Police Assertions.
Mincey's statement, in so far as 1t
provides an answer to the detectives,
was that he did tell the same story to
them; that he did Identify Conley as
the man he talked with on Saturday
afternoon, and that the detectives
told him they didn't care to take his
evidence
"Conley told me Saturday afternoon
that he had killed a girl. and didn't
want to kill anybody else" Mincey
swears he told the detectives.
This man Mincey never made men
ton of having heard Conley say that
he had killed a girl and Mincey never
even Identified Conley" is the reply
of Detective Scott to this assertion.
Detective headquarters were thrown
into excitement by the publication
Of the startling developments. With
in a few minutes Scott was in con-
ference with Chief Lanford and it
was said that it had been decided
to make a search for Mincey with a
view of bringing him before Solicitor
Dorsey for a grilling in regard to his
story accusing the negro.
News Disturbs Dorsey.
Solicitor Dorsey was evidently dis
turbed by the new turn in the mys-
terry, but would make no announce
ment OF his intentions in respect to

can be found. The witness is said to
be in Chattanooga at present teach
ing school Leo Franks lawyers, If
they know Mincey's whereabouts, are
keeping 1t a profound secret. They
had not intended even that the con-
tents of his affidavit should be made
public. They declared, however, that
he would be on hand for the trial
prepared to repeat everything he said
in the affidavit.
The latest rumor in connection with
the Phagan mystery is that the girls
mesh bag pocketbook which she car
ried to the factory on the day she
met her death has been found and
has been examined for finger prints.
This rumor could not be confirmed at
police headquarters.
Lee Hearing Saturday.
The habeas corpus proceedings in
behalf of Newt Lee, night Waterman
at the pencil factory, will be fought
out Saturday forenoon at 10 o'clock
before Judge Ellis. Bernard L.
Chappell, representing the negro. said
that he would issue subpenas for at
least so witnesses whose testimony
he would rely upon to obtain the free
dom of his client.
Among them will be Leo NJ. Frank
and Jim Conley. The appearance of
both of these men, the first accused
of murder, the second held as a ma
terial witness, will be bitterly con-
tested. Reuben r. Arnold, of cOun-
sci for Frank, has declared that no
law on earth can force Frank to ap-
pear as a witness at the hearing.
