New CIeWs

Speculation was aroused Saturday
by the reportthat William A. Pinker-
ton. head of the Pinkerton National
Detective Agency. was in Atlanta, and
had been here several days under
cover Tine supposition was tha he
came here in connection with the
Phagan murder mystery, on which his
opera tiVes in Atlanta We're engaged
fro ma few days after the crime until
the conviction of Leo Frank
The report said he had left New
Orleans Monday hight, and had come
directly TO Atlanta, where he kept ms
identity a secret. As this is not in
accordance with his usual habit, il
v as suggested that he might have
come TO investigate the activities OF
William J. Burns, Dan Lehon and
Guy Biddinger and the many Burns
operatives whose final report appears
likely TO directly at variance with the
verdict of the jury, ba sed in part on
the testimony Of the Pinkerton
agents.
Agents Deny Chief Is Here.
j. H. Kelley. superintendent OF the
Pinkertons for this district, and Har-
ry Scott both denied emphatically that
here for several months
"He left New Orleans early In the
week. and went directly to Hot
Springs. Ark, according to the infor-
nation we have" they declared. We
are sending our reports Their efor him,
and have every reason to believe he Is
getting them, He is at the Arlington
Hotel"
Detective Burns said Saturday that
he was not certain when he would
make his Anal report.
Burns Has New CIews.

had any knowledge of Franks char
acter make an appointment with me

that appears to point to-

will make it known to me-
Burns omitted that he had been
making an extensive investigation of
