The Pinkerton National Detective Agency, on Friday, instituted garnishment proceedings against the National Pencil Company, to compel the payment of a bill for $1,200, which the plaintiff alleges is due it, for investigating the murder of Mary Phagan in the pencil factory. The Pinkerton Agency alleges that it was employed by Leo M. Frank on the day following the murder, and that Harry Scott, the division superintendent, went to work upon the case.

Attorneys representing the pencil factory allege that the Pinkertons failed to comply with the terms of their contract.
