The detectives declare that Phillips.
in statement made shortly after he
was taken to headquarters, named
Charlie Jones as the source of all his
information regarding the races,
through which he was enabled to lay
and win bets before the results of the
races became known generally.
Jones. according to the detectives, is
now in Charleston at the races. and
after each race telephones the results
to his saloon on Peachtree street, from
whence it 10 sent out to the various
saloons throughout the city, where it
is alleged the gang of bookmakers
operate. Phillips headquarters is said
to have been In a saloon at No. 81

knowledge of the use to which his
information Is alleged to have been
put, but they are investigating.

by SLEUTHS
Code Message and 45-CaIiber
Revolver Believed to Connect
Him With HoIdup.

New evidence. which the detectives
believe connects John Nolan, a pris-
oner in the Tower, almost without
doubt with the daring holdup of the
N, c. and st. L. train last week, was
turned up Saturday afternoon and
submitted to Fulton and Cobb Coun-
ty officials who were in conference
at the Atlanta police station.
Detectives Black, Fred Billiard and
Chewing, who were detailed exclu-
sively to the battling robbery. re-
ported that they had located Nolan's
room, whose whereabouts Nolan per-
sistently had refused to disclose to
them. and that they had found there
in a number of articles which they
regarded as discriminating.
After hearing the detectives re-
port, it was decided to take the bandit
suspect to. Marietta Tuesday for a
preliminary hearing. The Cobb Coun-
ty officials learned that Nolan had

Charge of Intended Fraud Against
Former Minister Dismissed
in City Court.

j. W. Foster, the former Baptist
minister. whose second arrest on a
charge of disposing of a mortgaged
automobile followed close on his SEN
sational arrest with Mrs. Maude Dean,
his soul mate, Saturday denied that
he had purchased the car for the
pleasure of Mrs, Dean. He protested
that the young woman had never even
seen the auto.
When Foster was arraigned Satur-
day before the Municipal Court on the
warrant taken out by II. T. Bradley,
OF the Overland company, Judge l..
u. Rosser, Jr., dismissed the case on
the ground that no intent to defraud
had been shown in Fosters disposal
of the auto, and further that it was
shown that Bradley tacitly had con-
sented to its sale.
Heart Wife Not Present.
Fosters young heart wife was not
present In court and no mention Of
her name was made throughout the
hearing. 1t was after the trial that
Foster declared the auto was not a
present to her,
Bradley said he sold the car to Fos-
ter in October. 1912. in exchange Tor
lot, and that Foster gave him
note for s275 to cover the balance.
This note was due February l, 1918,
he said and had not been paid. In
December, 1912, Foster, growing tired
of the car, sold 1t to Attorney Arthur
Thurman.
Foster said Bradley told MIN 1t
would be all right to sell the car, and
Herbert Foster. son, made the same
statement. Bradley testified that he
advised Foster he had no objection to
the sale provided Foster put up other
sufficient collateral to cover the note
Foster was defended by Attorney
Virgil Jones, while Attorney T. j.
Lewis appeared for the prosecution.

the man who held up the train and
that, besides other discriminating evil
dence, funnel was found in his room
like that used by cracksmen in blow
ing safes.
The detectives also have recover
ed from pawn a massive As caliber
Colts revolver, which Nolan dis
posed of some time before the rob-
berry.
1t is said to be a mate to the one
that was used in the holdup. Infor-
nation also is in the possession of the
authorities that Nolan owned two pls-
tolls before the robbery, and that ne
pawned one OF them. The one still
missing is believed to be the one with
which the robbery was accomplished.
Twentyrfour cartridges were found
in the room that fit the revolver taken
out of pawn.
Sheriff w. d. Swanson and Solicit
tor General Herbert Clay, both Of
Cobb County, were in at the confer
ence at the police station and assisted
In grilling Nolan, who was brought
from the Tower. The detectives sub
mitted all the evidence they had
against the prisoner, and Solicitor
Clay went over 1t for the purpose of
determining II IT was sufficiently
strong to ask for the removal OF No
Ian to Cobb County for preliminary
hearing.
a warrant for Nolan's arrest on the
charge of robbery already has been
sworn out before Justice Of the Peace
B. V. Greer, OF Marietta. The Cobb
County officials maintain that the rob-
berry was committed in their jurisdic-
ton and that therefore they are en-
titled to the prisoner.

Weight years I have represented a

WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.-The
shakeup in the Atlanta Federal Peni-
Tertiary and other Government pris-
ons that was promised by Attorney
General McReynolds as a result of the
activities of Congressman William
Schley Howard and revelations of
conditions by guards and former con
victs, was begun Saturday with the
removal of Robert V. Ladow as Su-
perintendent OF Prisons and his an
pointments as Assistant Superinten-
dent
The demotion of Mr.. Ladow is re-
garded here as conclusive proof that
Attorney General McReynolds intends
to abide by the promises made that
the investigation of the Atlanta pris-
on will be reopened and conducted
in different manner from that made
by DR.. A. ]. McKelway, whose re-
port of conditions there has been dis
credited.
Experienced Man for Probe.
in Washington to-day, have caused
the officials of the Department OF
Justice to consider enlarging the
scope of the investigation. With this
in view the Attorney General has
announced that Major Henry Leonard
will not be sent to Atlanta to investi-
gate Warden Meyers administration
Of that institution, but that another
man with more experience in prison
matter affairs will be sent. Major
Leonard, it was learned on investiga-
ton, Is not considered to have had
enough experience to insure the right
kind of an investigation.
1t is generally understood that the
eniissary of the Department of JUS
tice who undertakes the investigation
fthe Atlanta prison will also be sent
to look into affairs at the other two
Government penal institutions, and
that at the conclusion of his work
he will be offered the post made va
cant by the removal of Mr.. Ladow.
General Reorganization Seen.
Complaints made more than a year
ago as to the management OF the
Leavenworth prison and the recent
complaints against the Atlanta pri-
son are siad to have convinced the
officials of the Department of JUS
tice that there should be a general
reorganization and reimbursement of
methods of handling the affairs of
the prisons.
Attorney General McReynolds is
endeavoring to keep secret the name
Of the man who will make the inves-
tigation of the Atlanta prison, be-
lieving that more effective work can
be done If 1t is done quietly as any
other plan, 1t is thought, would have
tendency to disturb and disorgan-
ize the prison and prevent a fair and
Impartial investigation.
The Department Of Justice is
pledged that everything demanded
by members of Congress in a change
of policy and personnel In the At
lanta prison shall be made. and II is
intimated that this pledge includes
the removal Of Warden Meyer and
a complete change in the system of
administration now in vogue at the
prison.
