PROBING MURDER MYSTERY.
Burns Report on Phagan Murder
Murder Anticipated With
Interest.

Atlanta, Ga, March 21.-William
j. Burns, the detective, says that when
his report on the death of little Mary
Phagan, for whose murder Leo M.
Frank, the young factory superin-
ter:tent, has been convicted, has been
made public, he believed it would be
entirely satisfactory to every one. 1t
will clear, he said, the mysterious dis
appearance of the pay envelope which
Mary Phagan had just received from
Leo NJ. Frank, and also that of her
meshbag, which has never been found.
"When / took this case,' said Burns,
sit was considerably against my de-
sire. l told the people VINO employ
ed me l would insist on publishing 1G
findings amt that if they happened to
be of a nature to hit Frank, they
might not want me to publish them.
They told me, however, that they
dld not care, that they believed Frank
innocent, and were confident that my
investigation would prove it; to go
ahead and publish my report, and so
l took the case with this agreement
Burns announces that he was inves-
tigating the recent activities here of
a man who has been one of the central
figures in several angles of the Mary
Phagan murder mystery.
Recently AL affidavit was published
in which it was stated that this man
had Offered 81 900 bride to u witness
in the case to testify to an Infamous
story against Frank. The woman de-
clared that she had run him out Of the
house after he made this proposition.
of all I hear about him is true, he
ought to be in JAIL" said Burns today.
81 imagine he has bene successful in
escaping rruch Of the punishment
which he deserves not so much because
he is clever, but because the authori-
ties think he is not entirely respon-
sible."
Burns says that private detectives
are doing their best to hinder his in
vestigation.

Mr.. sLEMP SUES. FOR DIVORCE
Wife of Virginia Congressman
Charges Abandonment.

Bristol, Va, March 21.-Mrs. Lo-
berta Barton Slemp yesterday filed a
suit for an absolute divorce from
her husband, Representative e.
Bascom Slemp, of the Ninth district
of Virginia. The ground set forth
in the bill is desertion. The SUIT
was filed in the circuit court OF
Wise county, which is the home Oh
the representative.
The couple were married three
wears ago, and have been separated
for about two years. Mrs. Slemp
prior to her marriage was MISS
Barton, a member of wealthy anu
socially prominent family of Lou
isiana, living near New Orleans. A
child was born to them at AsheVille
N. c., two years ago, but lived only
short time.
The bill contains no reference tc
alimony. Representative Slemp Is
reputed to be millionaire coal lano
owner, having extensive interests II
Virginia and Kentucky. Attorneys
for Mrs. Slemp decline to say any
thing on the subject Of alimony
Representative Slemp is 40 year:
old, and is serving his third term II
the lower house. Upon the death o.
his father, the late Campbell Slemp
he was chosen to fill out the unex
pired term and was renomlnated b.
the Republican party. He announ
ced only short time, ago that NJ
would not be candidate for re-elec
ton.
Friends of Representative Sleml
say that the marriage was unhappy
due to tempermental Incompatible
ity. which resulted in a peaceful sep
aration soon after the birth ant
death of the only child born to the
union. Although he has retained
Judge G. NJ. Fulton to represent HIN
it is not believed that the suit vii
be strenuously contested.
1t is rumored that Representative
Slemp has been paying attentions t
Mrs. Madeline Force Astor, WHOM
of the late John Jacob Astor.
Representative C. Bascom Slemp
of Virginia, has not been in Vlr-
ginia for about week, according to
his neighbors in the Burlington
apartments, so the rumor that ne
will we'd Mrs. Madeline Force AS
tor, could not be, verified.
The rumor revived the story OF
the remarkable will of Col. Aston
BY it's provisions the young wldo"
was given certain legacies and be-
quests on condition that she continue
T. widowhood. At one time it was
g ported taht Mrs. Aston was serl-
: Justly contemplating a legal test OF
these provisions to be free to do as
she chose, but it has never been at
tempted.

When all is said. however. It is on
