FRIENDS Of FRANK
EMPLOY BILL BURNS
I'd HUNT EVIDENCE

Atlanta, Feb 19-William J. Burns
the greatest detective in the world, has
been employed by friends Of Leo NJ
Frank to come to Atlanta next week
and personally take up the Mary
Phagan murder case, in the hope that
Burns may discover some new evi
dence that will be of help to the con-
demned man. After a conference with
prominent Atlanta Jews at the Georg-
ian Terrace late yesterday, Detective
Burns authorized the statement that
he had been employed to Investigate
the Phagan case, and that he would
return to Atlanta Monday or Tuesday
Of next week, accompanied by Dan
Lehon Of New Orleans, head of the
Southern branch of the Burns people.
Burns would not state by whom he
had been employed, but declared pos
itively that it was not by the attorneys
for Frank, or through them, and that
he had been employed to conduct a
thoroughly impartial investigation,
and that he had given his word to the
people who employed him that he
would endeavor to get to the bottom Of
the case.
The bringing of detective like
Burns, by private employment into a
murder case in which trial jury and
supreme court have declared an accus-
ed prisoner guilty is a thing that has
not occurred very often in police his
tory.
Friends of Frank see in it a further
proof of the sincere belief of Frank S
intimates in declaring him still to be
innocent while the Atlanta police de-
partment and the prosecuting officials
see in it simply the act of a drowning
man grasping at any last straw.
The employment of Burns has natur-
ally created a profound sensation.

VIENNESE DON'T LIKE
HIGH PERCENT SUICIDES

Vienna, Feb. 19.-The Viennese are
trying to shake off the unenviable re
cord of having a higher percentage Of
suicides among them than the resi-
dents of any other European capital.
For the first time in many years there
is a decline in the number of suicides
and cases of attempted self-destruc-
ton in Vienna; the record for the past
year being 1,4S4, as compared with l.
sos in 1912, Notwithstanding that the
past year was a bad one from COM
mercial and labor standpoint. 1t ap-
pears that a large number OF wome1
who decided upon suicide failed in the
attempt, while men generally under
took their self-destruction with a de-
termination that was successful. AS
usual, the black record includes many
children, whose motives were traced
to unfayorable school reports.

NAVAL AVIATOR
MEETS DEATH

Pensacola, Fla, Feb. 19.-Drown-
ing caused the death OF Lieut. J. Nee
Murray of the naval aviation corps
who late yesterday afternoon lost his
life when his hydro-aeroplane plunged
several hundred feet into Pensacola
bay. At first it was thought he had
been killed by an explosion of the
engine of his craft, or injuries sustain
ed in his fall but an examination by
physicians today showed his body to
be almost unmarked by the accident.
officials Of the naval station said his
death was doubtless due to his inabil-
ity to free himself from the floating
wreckage of his craft.
Whether a defect in the mechanism
of the aeroplane caused its fatal
plunge or whether the aviator lost con-
troll of his machine, remained mys-
terry today. The wreckage of the craft
was towed to the naval station and an
official investigation begun.
