00:00Frank the Guilty Man declares Chief Lanford, Atlanta Constitution Sunday, May 25th, 1913.
00:07Frank will be convicted. He is the guilty man and we will show it beyond a doubt.
00:11Evidence that we hold but will not reveal will startle those who believe his innocence into
00:16conviction of his guilt. It will not be disclosed until the trial. I have been confident throughout
00:22the investigation of his guilt. I am satisfied now. Colonel Felder's charges that we have
00:27shielded Frank can find no substantiation. The evidence we have unearthed is proof to the
00:32contrary. The detectives of police headquarters have solved the mystery of Mary Fagan's murder.
00:38They have combated against odds heavier than those we ever encountered before. I am proud
00:43of my men. I know my duty has been done. The murder of the little pencil factory girl has
00:48been cleared and Tom Felder has been shown up in his true colors. That is why the Atlanta
00:52Detective Department sleeps well a night. Chief Newport A. Lanford.
