George Epps, Newsboy, Accused of Swindling Man

Out of $1.50

Little George Epps, witness in the Frank trial, believed to be the last person who talked to Mary Phagan before she entered the National Pencil factory on the day she was murdered, April 26, 1913, is sought by the police. A. Montgomery complained to the detective department Friday night that he had been swindled out of $1.50 by the lad.

Epps is a news boy. He lives at Chestnut and Kennedy streets, near the home of the Colemans, parents of little Mary Phagan. When on the witness stand, he made a good impression by his clear and quick answers to questions put by lawyers for both sides in the big legal battle.
