Famous Detective Scans Groups
Covered in Negroes Story Of
Disposing of Body.

Step by step over the same
trail in the National Pencil Fac
tory that jim Conley led the city
detectives nine months ago, Will
liam J. Burns, master detective,
went Monday afternoon.
ConIey made the dramatic trip
through the factory, meanwhile reel
ing off glibly a remarkable story ot
his part in the crime. in what he as
serted was a re-enactment of tha
tragedy of last April 20.
Detective Burns, already cognizant
OF every detail of the negro's story, ,
went over each separate move that
Conley said he made that day, check
ing up to determine if he could dis
cover any discrepancies or improba-
bilities in the tale which was the chief
cause of Franks conviction and sem
tence to hang.
Thinks He Will Lift Mystery.
When ne had finished. he had 10
comment to make, except to explain
that his first move was to become
acquainted with the physical fea-
lures Of the factory and to photo-
graph the negro's story in his mind
Il am here merely to make a COM
mon sense and impartial investiga-
tion of the crime | do not think that
there will be any mystery to it when
all the facts are known.
81 do not intend to hazard any
opinion as to the guilt of any person
until | have completed my investigs-
ton and am ready to make my report
public. To do 50 would be impracti-
cal and improper"
With Detective Burns while he was
making his tour OF the pencil factory
were c. w. Burke special detective
for Franks counsel, and Leonard
Haas. one of the defendants lawyers.
Burns was taken to the spot in the
rear Of the metal room where Conley
told the officers ne found the huddled

of April 26.
Goes Over Ground Carefully.
The inspection took the three men
along he narrow passageway through
which Conley said he carried the BODY
OF the slain girl to the elevator in the
front of the building.
The place was pointed out where
the negro related that the body had
become too heavy for him and that
Frank came cursing, from the front
OF the building to help him carry It.
Burns went too the basement and
back through the dim light to the
place where the body of the girl my
when It was discovered by the negro
night Waterman, Newt Lee, and later
by the city police.
The detective asked numerous
questions and made careful inspec-
ton. Of Franks office, particularly
with the idea Of ascertaining what
could be seen from Franks desk and
how easy or difficult it would be to
see Frank sitting at his desk when
the SAT edoor in the outer Office was
open and swung into the Office doors
way.
MIR Burns declared that he would
give his best personal efforts to the
case and would be in Atlanta for
several weeks. He announced that he
would be assisted by some Of his
ablest men.
