WAS TRIED
BY JOHN
BLACK

W, S. Jenkins, bricklayer, living
on West Fourteenth street. and his
wife, with their daughter, Mrs. Lula
Belle Brown, probably will be impor-
tant witnesses for Leo Frank in his
motion for a new trial. Their testi-
mony, it was discovered Thursday,
will be in the effort to show attempts
at a frame up" by Detective John
Black.
Mrs. Brown has been married since
the Frank trial, and is now in a re-
formatory at Milledgeville. Last
spring she was Is years old, unmar-
ried and living with her parents
Jenkins and his wife told the fol-
lowing story freely, and assert they
will make affidavit to it, and testify
in court, if called.
Tell Of Visit From Black.
About one month after Frank was
arrested, the Jenklnses state, John
Black came to their home and asked
to see Lula Belle.
you are the girl who went with
Mary Phagan to the factory the day
she was killed, aren't your the de-
tective is said to have asked. When
the girl told him no, he pressed the
assertion, and added
You went there with Mary Pha-
gan, and Frank sent you away, and
kept Mary Phagan there, saying she
had some work to do"
The girl denied this assertion also,
and after some more questions by the
detective he went away.
Used Threats, Says Mother.
THE following Monday he came
back again" said Mrs Jenkins He
asked to see Lula Belle, and put the
same questions TO her She denied
knowing anything about the case, and
the detective became threatening.
There was another detective with him
and they both talked that way-said
they had something on the girl and
could have her locked up if they
wanted to-"
The detectives went away, Mrs.
Jenkins said, only to return that
night; at east Black came back. and
the same detectives, or maybe anoth-
er, was with him
This time the detectives were open
in their threats to lock the girl up If
she did not admit her knowledge,
Mrs. Jenkins said. .-..t.
Heard Talk of Money.
and l heard Black tell Lula Belle
that If she would admit what he had
said, she could have part of his sal
ary' They were promising her money
as well as threatening her, it seemed"
In the course OF the conversation.
Black is quoted as stating that a Mrs.
Moody, who lived nearby, had told the
police that Lula Belle had told her she
went to the factory with Mary Pha-
gan.
81 wanted to see the matter to the
bottom" said jenkins. so we all
went around to Mrs. Moody's. She
said plainly that Lula Belle never had
told her anything like that. On the
way home, oneo the detectives talked
in an undertone to Lula Belle, and
after they had gone away, she told
me that Black had offered her $40
to tell what he had said about going
to the factory with Mary Phagan. But
she did not work at the factory, and
she did not know Mary Phagan."
New and Vital Clews.
With William J. Burns expected
either late Thursday or sometime Fri
day to open his probe Of the Mary
Phagan murder and the startling de-
velopments that followed, interest in
the Frank case centers now about the
great detective.
Burns is known to be keeping his
own counsel about the investigation

$4,000 MEN
ON BORDER
Seventeenth Regiment Is Ordered
From Atlanta To Be Ready
to Strike.

w AS1lN IOIN, MdTCN lI.--N'HlCldl
reports to the War Department to-
day showed that the orders to rush
two more regiments Of American
troops to the Mexican border are be-
ing rapidly complied with. With the
arrival of the Ninth Regiment from
Fort Thomas KY, and Fort Logan II.
Roots, Ark, and the Seventeenth
Regiment from Atlanta in Texas. the
United States will have nearly $4,000
troops within striking distance of
Mexico, This is 5000 more than Gen
eral Shafter had in his Santiago
campaign in Cuba.
The administrations explanation
that these additional troops are be-
ing sent to the Mexican border be-
cause of requests made by members
of the Texas Congressional delegation
that the International line be more
efficiently patrolled was regarded to-
day as correct statement of fact,
but the belief current here for several
days that the Mexican situation was
approaching "a crisis was also
strengthened by the orders for. the
movement of troops.
Machine Guns for Embassy.
Recent dispatches Of a confidential
nature have stated that machine guns
are being sent to Mexico City for the
protection of the American legation
there and the orders to add to the
military forces on the border there
fore caused no surprise.
Democratic members Of Congress
made no secret to-day of their belief
that the dispatch of more troops to
the border indicates that the Govern
ment is preparing for an emergency.
Hopes that General Carranza and the
Constitutionalist forces could restore
peace in Mexico have been gradually
fading for a month
Even the news that General Villa
had actually begun his long promised
campaign against Torreon failed to
restore confidence in the Constitu-
tionalist army, and Carranzas atti-
tude in the Benton case has destroyed
in great measure faith that this Gov
eminent has had hitherto.
colquitt Causes Anxiety.
There is no doubt that there has
been anxiety at the White House and
State Department over the utterances
of Governor Colquitt OF Texas, and
his blunt assertions that his State
would protect her citizens, but this
anxiety has not caused the belief at
any time that the Governor of the
Lone Star State would take any ac-
ton that would plunge the United
States into war with her southern
neighbor
The new regiments sent to Texas
will be assigned TO patrol the border
at Laredo and Eagle Pass, and the
cavalry that has been working there
will be shifted farther west The two
infantry regiments number 500 men.
The seven cavalry regiments and one
infantry regiment now on patrol duty
number about $500 men, and there
are 1000 more in camp at Texas City
under command of Brigadler General
Funston.
Troops to Move Monday.
The orders sending the Seventeenth
and Ninth Regiments Of infantry to
the Mexican border provide that they
get under way Monday, 1t was learned
to-day at the War Department.
These are all the Troops said

If the Gospel will not regulate
