ATLANTA, Ga. Jan 27.-The hard
est jury to secure in Atlanta in years
is that which Fulton county is drawing
to try the perjury charges against
Dan S. Lehon, Southern manarer for
the Burns detective agency; Carlton
G. Tedder. former Burns man and At
lanta policeman, and Arthur Thurman,
a young lawyer, the charges growing
out OF the Frank case. Only half the
jury had been secured after exhaust
ing four panels when the case was
resumed this morning.
The sheriff had to search all Atlanta
to locate members of additional uan-
els, and as fast as the candidates
were examined they were "struck"
either for cause or perpemtorily, by
Solicitor Dorsey or the defense. Tes-
timony will hardly begin before late
today.
The case centers around the affada-
Wit made by the Rev. c. B. Ragsdale,
preacher. who swore that he had heard
the negro Jim Conley confess to kill
ing Mary Phagan, and who afterwards
repGdiated his testimony. The three
defendants are charged with having
persuaded or hired him to make the
false afradavit.
The question of what is widow"
has got the goat of Attorney General
Warren Grice.
The attorney general had thought
that he had ahalyztd. defined and
parsed the word to tho satisfaction of
every ordinary in the State. but they
keep on writing him 10 give new cir
cnmstances and family history and
ask .Is she widow or amt she?"
Its all on account of the new child
labor law. 1t specifies that no child
between IL and ID years of age may
work in factories or places of amuse-
ment unless widowed mother is de-
pendent upon the child's wages.
I Naturally the question of whether q
divorced woman is widow came up.
Tho attorney general ruled that she
was not And then today came this
one:
rs woman widow whose .rst
husband has died and who. married
again, wants her children by her first
marriage to work In a mill because
Hrshand Ne. cannot support herr"
ThGt's g knotty one. But the at
torney general ruled that no woman
who Is married can be q widow, sup
port or no support. He did not sug-
gest that an ak we'll used might solve
the dificulty and return the woman to
the widowhood class.
John o. Lovejoy of Wild Pank,
Okla, is built on the general architec-
ture of sugar barrel, weighing about
300 POUNDS in his checked suit with
moss OF the weight between his coll
lar button and his knees. He arrived
in Atlanta yesterday afternoon to sec
the sights, and one OF the first places
ne visited was one of the new Office
buildings
Atlanta storm doors-~the revolving
kind--are not built for over-sizes, and
when Mr.. Loyejoy found himself being
jammed between door and wall he
tried to back out again. That's
where he made his mistake. The door
went out OF commission and refused
to bulge either way.
TO make matters worse business

Tried to emerge. from the door jusi
rs Mr.. Lovejoy essayed to enter, and
| the Albanian found himself copped MP
on the opposite side, witG more
breathing room. Ii Is true, than the
Oklahoma, but otherwise no better Off.
When the house carpenters had ar
rived and taken the door to pieces Mr..
Loyejoy had lost seven buttons and
the Albanian his train.
