Ell PASO, TEXAS, Feb. 26.-Rep-
resentatives of the United States are
to-day concentrating their efforts on
the finding of Gustave Bauch, the

belief that Bauch is still alive, de-
cuted by order of the Constitutional

weight to-day by the story of A.

American officials to-day demanded
that the Mexican officials in Juarez

While he was locked in little dun

His Case Seriously.

Leo Frank, in his cell at the
Tower Thursday, talked freely
and with apparent candor with
Atlanta newspaper men, seeing
them for the first time since he
entered the Jail in May, 1913.
His discussion of his own case
hinged on the charge of "collu-
sion" with Conley by Solicitor
Dorsey, and of a plot in regard
to all the perversion testimony.
And over all Frank professed his I'M
shaken belief that the people Of Geor-
gia would see to it that Justice was
done" and that his innocence ulti-
mately would he established.

cussion," ne said Il would even hope

Questions Solicitors Methods.
But what am to think of the ap-
parent relations of Conley and the So
licitor in my case-of the manner n
which his alleged evidence was used?
1t is a terrible thing to even suggest
that a public official would advance
his prestige and his position at the
expense Of an innocent mans neck
And yet"
Frank broke off abruptly; then re-
sumed

not much glory to be gained by con-
victing a negro of scnsa tional crime.

HER
ONLY FEAR,
SHE SAYS
To Live in Private Car While
Here Both for Safety and to
Avoid Notoriety.

Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, who has been
the ttalked-of women in Amer
lea since the night that Harry X.
Thaw shot Stanford White in New
York, arrived in Atlanta Thursday
for two DAYS engagement at the
Atlanta Theater She came from
Birmingham in her private car, in
which she will live during her stay
in Atlanta, partly to avoid notoriety,
and partly she says, because she is
afraid of her husband.
Harry K. Thaw is the only person
in the world that | fear" said Mrs.
Thaw. preachers and other crea-
lures have tried to keep me from
earning a living in the only way that
know-on the stage. but ! am not
afraid of them, although +ney cause
me great deal of annoyance. But of
Harry Thaw I am afraid, and my only
hours of real trouble are when l
think Of him.
Lives in Constant Fear.
He has threatened to kill ne times
almost without number ana since he
escaped from Matteawan [ have lived
in constant fear that he will carry out
his threat. She fear that / felt when
he escaped has not abated in the
slightes', ard sometimes | feel afraid
to go out on the streets alone for
fear that in some manner he has
traced me, and | am afraid ! will
meet him
"ThsW is dangerous at all times
but when he is drinking his sole
thought seems to kill somebody He
drinks a quart of brandy a day, l
have been told. and then he gets TO
brooding and threatening to Kill
someone. 1 try to keep track of him
through friends, and ! am notified
every time he makes a move that
seems to concern me. But l am
afraid of him, and l don't suppose IL /
have any rest until they put him back
in Matteawan."
Leaves Child in East.
Mrs. Thaw declared that she had
left her little son, Russell. who is
four years old, with friends in the
East. and declared that no one but
herself and her intimate friends know
where the boy is staying.
81 am afraid Harry Thaw will kill
my son as well as myself" said Mrs.
Thaw, land l love my little boy bet
ter than anything else in the world. !
| could stand anything he could do
to me, guess, but if anything should
happen to my son, it would kill me-"
Mrs. Thaw also paid her respects
to the preachers who have tried to
prevent her appearing on the stage
throughout the country.
THE agitation against me" she
said, lis backed by Mrs. william
Thaw, who furnishes money to the !
people who are trying to keep me
off the stage Her work is being done
by preachers and other people who |
want publicity and who can think of
no other way to get it than by criti- |
sising a woman who has had more |
than her share of trouble and who
is trying to support herself decently |
and respectfully.
Only Means of Livelihood.
81 don't know anything but the
stage. all my life has been spent on
the stage and if they kept me from
making a living in the only way that
I know, what could | do? | don't
ask for audiences because | am the
wife of Harry X Thaw. / am trying |
to support myself and my little son, |
and all l ask is fair play If people |
don't think my show as a show is !
