BURNS SAYS HE DIDN'T
SAY FRANK WAS INNOCENT

Atlanta, April 4.-The report Of
William J. Burns, the detective, who
has been investigating the murder here
last April of Mary Phagan, a factory
employee, for which crime Leo NJ.
Frank, of the factory where the girl
worked, is sentenced TO be hanged
April II, will not be made public be-
fore Tuesday or Wednesday OF next
week. Friends of Frank who employed
Burns hope, through the detectives ef-
forts, to save the life Of the condemned
man.
Announcement that he would no.
disclose the result of his investiga-
ton. was made here tonight by Burns,
who reached this city late today from
Chicago. The detective said he had
not submitted his report to Franks
lawyers and denied that he had stated
tnat Frank was not guilty.
81 will say positively he added
"that 1 believe Frank is entitled 10 a
new trial" Burns would not say upon
what he based this convection, and re-
fused positively to indicate, eUen in a
general way, the nature Of his discoV-
cries as developed by his investigation

Sparanburg, April 3.-Among the
36 men named by the Spar5anburg
couaty jury commissioners last even
inc as the venire to serve in the court
of general sessions during the week
beginning April 20 may be the arbiters
of the fate of Cylde C. Clement and
Miss Fleda Pendleton, the young stu
dent and telegrapher, respectively,
charged with the murder Of their al
legged infant daughter. The couple will,
il is expected, be placed on trial tnat
week. Doubt is expressed as 80 tae
likelihood of a jury,s being chosen
to try the case from venire limited
to sc men. The case has been so wide
" discussed and will be fought so
stubbornly that numerous challenges
for cause, as well as peremptory chal-
Ienges of talesmen, are expected.
! 1t is regarded as not unlikely that
several venires will be exhausted be-
fore II men acceptable to all sides
in the triangular legal battle are
found. If it becomes necessary to draw
additional venires they must be COM
posed, under South Carolina legal
procedure, of persons living not farth-
er than seven miles from the court
house. The venire drawn yesterday
is composed mostly of farmers, whose
homes are in all sections Of the coun-
ty. They are said to be for the most
part middle-aged married men.
There is said to have been a reac-
ton recently in public sentiment re-
garding Miss Pendleton, for whom
warm sympathy was expressed when
she declared to Solicitor Albert E.
Hill that Clement, on the night Of jan
uarv 80. threw their baby into Law
sons Fork against her fearful protest,
and that she only yielded to him when
ne threatened to abandon her to her
shame if she frustrated him in his
purpose to make way with the two
months-old child. Predictions that
the girl will be acquitted are not Sc
confidently made now as they were

KNOWS MURDERER
OF MARY PHAGAN
Detective Burns, However, Won't Give
Name-It is Probably Not
Frank.

Chicago, April 3.-William j. Burns,
the detective, declared late today that
he knew who murdered Mary Phagan,
the Atlanta, (Ga) girl, for Wnose
death Leo NJ. Frank is under sentence
of dea1l. Whether the murderer was
Frank or some one else, in his opinion,
Burns would not say, but he intimated
that from his Investigations and COM
pairing their results with the conclu-
sions of the coroner's jury he did not
think Frank the sort of man capable
of making the attack on the girl al
legged to have preceded her murder.
Burns, on his arrival today from
Kansas City, related the story Of his
Investigation. He said his attention
first had been called to it by young
man from atlanta who was pas
senger on a steamer on which Burns
was returning from Europe. The
young man expressed his regret that
Burns had not become interested IN
the case before the arrest and con-
viction Of Frank Through him Burns
read in newspapers of the trial and
concluded, from the accounts ne saw,
that Frank was guilty. Later, While
he was in Key West, three citizens OF
Atlanta, including two personal friends
of Frank, saw the detective and asked
him to undertake an investigation o.

the case.
First Refused.


At first. Burns said, he refused on
the ground that if Frank was guilty
his investigation aid final conclusion
to that effec, could only hurt the de-
fendant, while if the inVestlgatlon
tended to throw doubt on the verdict
of guilty it might serve to tnWart
Justice. Franks friends declared
that they believed he had not been
given fair trial, that he was inno-
cent of the crime, but that, if he was
guilty, they wanted indisputable evi-
dence Of his guilt.
Burns then took the case. His in
vestigations soon showed him, he
said, frs that public clamor, after a
"crime wave" had resulted in the
police making extraordinary efforts to
adduce evidence tending to convict
Frank and second, that a report
making out Frank man Of abnormal
characteristics was commonly circu-
lated through the city, putting public
opinion strongly against him.
HIS inquiries then convinced Burns
hat Frank was a perfectly normal
man. On the other hand, the testi-
mony of physicians was to the effect
hat the one who attacked Mary
Phagan was abnormal. Then Burns
interviewed many of the witnesses
who testified in the case. At the con
clusion of this phase of his inyestiga,
ton, he said, he was convinced thai
he knew the murderer.

ALASKAN
RAIL WAY BILL
LEADERS WANT DAILY CONSlD-
GRAFTON OF BILL UNTIL FINAL
DISPOSITION.

Washington, Feb 3.-The leaders
in charge of the Alaskan railway bill
in the house, tiring of the slow pro-
gress that is being made with the
measure, which is on the "Wednesday
calendar and which can be consid-
red only one day each week, have
decided to ask the committee on
rules fer a rule that will enable
the house to consider the bill daily
unit it is disposed of. A resolution
to this effect was introduced in the
house today by Representative Hous-
ton of Tennessee, chairman of the
committee on territories.
This brings the Alaskan railway
question right up to the rules com
mittee for such action as would
speed the enactment of the bill The
democratic members of this commit
tee are Henry of Texas. POu OF
North Carolina, Hardwick of Georgia
Garret of Tennessee, Foster of Hi
nois, Cantrill of Kentucky and Con
ey of New York.
The bill, which is being considered
under the fve-minute rule, is quite
lengthy and would require many
many weeks for its disposal if it
remained on the Wednesday calen
dar.
There has been considerable shift
ing of sentiment among the demo
Gratis in the house on this measure,
number who We're first inclined to
oppose il having decided to support
the bill The opponents of the biI
having first based their objection on
the economic ground that the project
would not pay and the political
ground of opposition to government
ownership OF railroads, even in Alas
ka, have now added a third reason
for their opposition. 1t is a reason
designed 10 appeal TO the race preju-
dice of those who are supposed to
