BURNS DETECTIVE
NOW ON TRIAL
Charged With Buying Evidence From
Atlanta Preacher—Paid $200.00
for Affidavit.
ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 29.—The man
ager of the suthern branch of the
William J. Burns International De
tective Agency is now on trial charg
ed with subordination of perjury in
that he secured false evidence in the
, effort to release Leo Frank from the
1 death cell. The charge is made that

| sign an affidavit to the effect that
1 he had heard the negro Conway con
fess to the killing of Mary Phagen,
the 16-year-old factory worker for
whose" death Frank is now under
sentence of death.
The minister admits signing the
because he was paid $200.00 by the
affidavit but insists that he did so
detective and needing the mney be
fell from grace and committed the
crime of perjury.
The court room is crowded at each
session and hundreds have been turn
ed away. Attorneys for Frank fear
that the sentiment that will be work
ed up by the trial will hinder their
client from securing a fair trial
should the supreme court reverse the
conviction by the state courts.

Valdez Merchant Did Not Cut Own
Throat and Jump From Dock—
Soldier Has Bad Dream.
The report was started this morn
ing by a drunken soldier from Fort
Liscum that A. L. Nelson, of the Yak
ima Fruit Company, had committed
suicide by cutting his throat and then
jumping into the bay and that the
body had been found on the beach
near Fort Liscum. The report was
telephoned to the Prospector at 9 this
morning and an investigation made
by the marshal’s office and the Pros
pector resulted in locating Mr. A.
Nelson in his bed and well. The fruit
•man insisted that he intended to ped
dle apples and spuds for many
months and would live to see the
government railroad completed from
Valdez to Fairbanks and himself as
the leading produce merchant, with
branches in Fairbanks, Nome, Seat
tle and other smaller cities.
Nelson also insists that he wants
to live until the end of the war, be
cause he is interested in the out
come and says that no drunk can
ehove him off this earth in the man
ner described by the gun-toter from
•across the bay.
