J. H. Kelly, formerly assistant superintendent of the Pinkerton

detective company's office in Pittsburg, assumed control of the

local branch of the agency Saturday. He arrived from the north

last Friday and since has met all the city officials. He takes the

place of J. B. Pierce, who resigned shortly after the completion of

the Frank trial.

Harry Scott will remain in Atlanta as assistant

superintendent. The order transferring him to Houston, Texas,

where he was to have been superintendent, has been

countermanded. He will be actively in charge of the criminal

business of the agency here.
