IRY|NGTON MAN
FRANKS WITNESS
Continued from FIRST Pase.)

Phagan was the day of her murder
when, he said, he kept watch in the
hall while Frank was in the office
above.
"rhat doesn't sound probable to
me-" said Mr.. Becker. "I knew the
negro Conley for several years and
know that he roamed all over the
factory and saw practically everybody
in 1t often.
1T was 1 who hired Mary Phagan.
| That was about a year before I left,
or about the last of 1911. While I
was there she worked in two different
departments, first at a machine on
the fourth floor and later directly un-
der my supervision in the metal de-
partment on the second floor The
girl was exceptionally pretty. She
| was one of the most modest little girls
in the factory.
1--WE hire about 125 girls and women
in the different departments. During
the entire time 1 was there / never
once knew Mr.. Frank to make any
advances toward any of the girls.
During my second year In Atlanta he
married. He had introduced me to
his fiancee a long while before. The
charge that there was a breach be-
tween him and his wife is, l believe,
untrue. Certainly there was no
breach up to the time I left, a short
time before the murder. for Mrs.
Frank came to the office with him
nearly every Saturday afternoon, and
never saw a couple who seemed
more In love and more confident of
each other. 1 wish it were In my
power to do something for the man,
for 1 am absolutely confident he is in
nocent."
win BE Glad to Testify.
Asked If he would Identify the sig
nature of the blank, Mr.. Becker said
that he would be glad to have the
authorities call on him for this or any
testimony he could give regarding
Franks character
From a mere Photographic repro
duction of the signature. / can't be
absolutely certain, of course, that it
is mine," said Mr.. Becker, "but if
way could be arranged for me to see
the original / am sure 1 could tell
whether it was one of the blanks
had thrown in the basement"
Mr.. Becker said public indignation
in Georgia had influenced the jury to
find Frank guilty.
Mr. Becker produced letter he re-
ceived from Frank himself last year
after he had been taken to the Tower
in Atlanta. Becker had written a
note of sympathy for the prisoner.
my dear Mr.. Becker" Franks let
ter read, your kind words of SYM
pathy and confidence touched me
deeply, and We're much appreciated.
The outcome of the trial was a sur
prise to all. The heated passion of
the Atlanta mob did 1t. No one ever
heard of such a frame-up' to bring
about the undoing Of decent man.
Truth and Justice, however, will
prevail in the end. We have just
begun to fight. In the end / will be
vindicated, as I had no more to do
with this thing than did you"
The letter was written before the
Supreme Court had upheld the trial
jurys verdict.
Mr.. Becker's son, Frederick Otto
Becker, is still living in Atlanta, and
has written his father frequently re-
garding the Frank case.

SCIENTISTS ARE PUZZLED

Los ANGELES, Feb. 21.-A dis
covery designed to thrill the scientific
world and to appeal profoundly to the
Imagination of mankind has just
been made in one of the world : ia
nous asphalt pits of the La Brae
ranch, near Los Angeles.
In this hole, from which the bones
Of saber- toothed tigers, mastodons
and giant sloths have been taken, the
skeleton of a man three feet in height
has been found. He was against a
mammoth bear of the PleiStocene
period. and twenty feet of earth crust
and 100000 years had accumulated
over this contemporary of the two
toed horse.
Skull Is Found
There can be no question that the
bones are those of human being"
said Director Frank S. Daggett, of
the Museum of History, Science and
Art ITO what period he belonged is
something that can only be conjec-
tured now. To determine this, further
and very careful research must be
made"
other bones of the human have
been uncovered and freed by a slow
and delicate process from their in
easement of solid asphalt.
To-day the discovery of a thigh
bone and a few smaller bones practi-
csliv completed the skeleton of this
homo which comes from the bottom
of the abyss of time.
Mr. Daggett has the precious skele-
ton secreted somewhere until it is
sent on to the Smithsonian Institution
in Washington for scrutiny and class
ificatioa by the savants.
Bones of FuIl-Brown Man.
The bones are said to be those of a
full-grown man. To the layman this
may seem to be a fine shading after
100000 years have passed, but this
plot of ground in the ranch is a little
magic land; the bones are as well
preserved. in the asphaltum, after
this lapse of cons, as others which
have been ordinary buried for a
year.
Although Mr.. Daggett gives no con-
illusions whatever except that the
skull. vertebrate and other osseouS
equipment of the ancient dweller in
California are those of man, all who
had anything to do with its discovery
are convinced that further research
will but serve to confirm their present
judgment that the little specimen of
humankind belonged to that era
wherein the imperial elephant shook
the ground in this vicinity with his
mighty tread.

Streaks on Horizon.
While making measurements on the
quantity of heat. coming from the sun
at Bassour, Algeria, shortly after the
eruption of Mount Katmai, in Alaska,
Director Abbot states that he noted
streaks along the horizon which de-
veloped into such a haze that work
was impossible. This condition re-
manned for nearly three months. The
dust resulting from the explosion had
Travelled at a rate of from 25 TO 40
miles an hour
The rates of progress were roughly
as follows: Toward Washington, 40
miles per hour; toward Bassour, %
miles per hour, and toward Mount
Wilson, miles per hour
What do we ordinarily receive
from the SUM-" asks Director Abbot.

we should also receive the rays abb

Mr. Abbot shows the tremendous
