8 MORE PERSONS
IDENTIFYACTOR
As BANDIT
Street Car Man Says Holdup
Suspect Told Him He Had
Had Fight.

J. G. Smith, a motorman on a
Houston to Copenhill street car, Fri
day positively identified Edward
Marshall, whose stage name is Ed
ward Rhynata, the actor held as the
bandit who attempted to hold up the
Atlanta State Savings Bank Wednes-
DAY afternoon, as a man who ran
down Bell street to Houston shortly
after the attempted robbery and
climbed aboard hts car.
Smith identified Marshall at once
when he was led from his cell into
the station sergeant's office.
That's the mani" the motorman
exclaimed. He came down Bell street
like rabbit!v
Smith told the police that he was
! operating his car out Houston and
saw Marshall running swiftly down
Bell street, which crosses Houston
street.
Leaped on Rear Of Car.
Smith says he thought the man
wanted to catch the car and he
slowed down. Marshall, he says,
leaped on the back end of the car
and jerked the bell rope to send the
car ahead Smith says he then no.
ticed crowd OF negroes running
down Bell street, armed with revolv-
ers. clubs and guns, and shouting,
Stop that man! He's a. robberi"
Il was afraid the crowd would
shoot or throw things into the car"
said Smith, so | jumped off and
drew my gun. leveled 1t at the
crowd Of negroes, particularly at one
in the front rank who carried re-
volver, and TOLD them to keep back.
The man tried to pull the bell rope
to go ahead, but the conductor, r.
F. Dobbs, caught his hand and told
him he was running that end of the
car. He asked the man what was
the trouble. Marshall told him he
had had fight with negro and
that the crowd was trying to beat
him up. So. told the conductor to
put him off the car. for there were
ladies inside of it and we didn't want
any trouble. So | held back the
crowd of negroes with my gun and
Dobbs pushed Marshall off the car on
the other side from them and told
him to run. He ran up Houston
street to the Troy Laundry, where he
vanished into an alley"
Dobbs also has seen Marshall and
identified him. The statements Of
the street car men and identification
Dy numerous negroes, VINO say tnaI
Marshall had been hanging around
the back for several days prior to
the hold-up, all failed to shake the
apparent confidence of the actor
Innocent, He Repeats.
I'm innocent Of this charge, and
I've got an alibi to prove it," he says.
"At the time was supposed to be
slugging this negro bank officer / was
in drug store uptown buying some
salts l had heard were beneficial for
skin disease. That may sound idi-
otto, but it's the truth, and the truth
is always respectable. At least, It's
said to be. and I'm going to see If It's
So"

the stand and testify to this effect.
The notes found by Mary Pha-
gan's body are discussed lat length
In ground No. IA, particularly in the
light of the new discovery that one
of them bears the carbon tEacery of
the signature of H. f. Becker, former
master mechanic in the factory.
The improbability that such a bad,
which was used in 1909 by Becker,
should be in the office of Frank
rather than in the basement where
all discarded and used pads We're
taken, is set forth in more than two
pages OF typewriter manuscript.

The new testimony of Miss Helen
Ferguson, in which she says she was
menaced by the negro Jim Conley
the week before the murder, also en-
ters into the new motion
The testimony of j. NJ. Duffy. who
declares that he was led into giving
false and misleading testimony by
the Solicitor, forms the basis forthe
concluding ground. Duffy declares
that Dorsey bullied him into saying
that when he cut his hand in an ac-
blood could have dropped on the
floor near the ladies' dressing room.
On the contrary, Duffy now testi-
fies, his hand did bleed considerably
and it Is quite likely that blood drop
ped on the floor at that point Duffy
says that when he was Gale dto Dor
seys office the Solicitor said that
Lemmie Quinn and a boy named
Charlie had testified that Duffy had
cut his hand badly and had let a lot
of blood drop near the ladies dress
ing room. where the blood spots were
found by the detectives. Duffy, in

the ninth ground for a new trial
which was submitted on the AFFIDAVIT
given by Miss Ruth Robinson, one
Of the States character witnesses
and former employee at the fac
tory.
Miss Robinson charges that the
Solicitor, who interviewed her in his
office for an hour and half, insulted
her by insisting that she knew OF
the alleged immoralities of Frank
after she had denied having any
knowledge OF anything derogatory 10
the defendants character.
She declares that she was shocked
by the Solicitors broad insinuations
and that she never heard such Insult
Ing language by direct speech or IN
nuendo by any Of the commonest Ia
borers about the pencil factory as was
used TO her by the Solicitor In his pri-
waite room.
She adds that at the time she be-
lieved he possessed some sort OF right
thus to ask her insulting questions by
virtue Of his official position, and that
she had no right to resent it except by
denying each one of his scandalous
interrogations.
Badeered BY Dorsey, She Says.
She asserts that she was badgered
by the Solicitor into saying that
Frank knew Mary Phagan by name.
She also corroborates much Of the af-
fidavit OF Dewey Hewell, declaring
that she heard the Hewell girl say
that she didn't even know Mary Pha-
gan.
The tenth ground for a new trial
is founded upon the affidavit OF Miss
Mamie Kitchens, who swears that her
testimony at the trial was misunder-

Marshall has retained lawyers and
will combat his prosecution from the
start. George Greenwood, manager

agencies, stated Friday morning that
the connection of the suspected man
with THE White Rats" vaudeville
organization, and his stake work
would assure him of aid. until such
a time as he should be proven guilty
Of an offense.
Mrs. Marshall, wife of the accused
man, Is being cared for by the the

Most important Of the regulations

Is that OF c. Brutus Dalton, the

1ined on the stand that he had been

Says He Lied for Detectives.
In making his reputation, he de-
eIkres that he was led to tell lies

And the Solicitor, and that, as mat
ter OF fact, he never knew Frank to
hR intimate IN any way with women

sFIis only knowledge OF Frank he
goes on TO say, was obtained on an
0tcaslon when he went to the fac
Efy with one of the young women
Employees who drew her pay.
The motion, covering go typewrit-
tan pages contains all the new evil
dence given in the recently printed
aflldavits, and more along the same
line. Il contains nothing OF the re-
SEARCHES OF Detective William ].

aSryice OF the notice in reality Is
merely to Ak and hold the date for
fhe hearing, as any other new evil
dance that may be obtained In tbs
Intervening period may be added TO
and included in the original motion.
In short, It appears from the tenor

masking It's batteries. and by no
means uncovering the full power OF

that II has established conYincingly

cousin, now admits that he did not

The afIidavits, II they are taken by
the court at their face value, show
that conley did not leave the factory
az 1880 o'clock. but that instead ne
WAS hanging about the basement until
long after o'clock.
They also show that Frank, instead
81 staying in the factory until 1850
o'clock, left within three or four min
utes after l o'clock and went 10 the
corner OF whitehall and Alabama
streets, where he was seen by half a
dozen persons. These circumstances.

Hair Evidences Taken Up.
"A good part OF the motion deals
with the evidence the Solicitor intro
