FRANK’S MOTHER DECLARES HIS TRIAL AN INFAMY DEAD GIRL'S GLAND Chicago Physician Performs Re markable Operation in Effort to Cure Brain Affliction. CHICAGO, March 11.—A gland re moved from a dead body seven days before was utilized in an oper:ition by Dr. G. FFrank Lydston on a patient at the Dunning State Hospital in an at tempt to cure what has hitherto heen censidered a case of hopeless insani ty. The patient—a 17-year-old girl— is suffering from “dementia precox.” At the same time the surgeon per formed a similar operation on an other patient, 26 years old, suffering from the same malady, implanting a gland 30 hours removed from a living bodyv. “From the pathélogical standpoint both operations were completely suc cessful,” said Dr. Lydston. “Whether or not the mental condition of the pa tients will be improved will not be known for at icast six or eight wecks. I am hopeful that compiete cures will result.” - Experimented on Own Body. Dr. i.ydston used the same methods 2 \ 3 . of gland implantation in perfecting which he experimented on his own body and the results of which he be lieves to be completely successful. It was the first time in the history of surgery that such an operation has been performed for the cure of in sanity. The younger of the two pa tients was” Hattie Emmling and the older Wilhelmina Schroeder. The for mer has been an inmate of Dunning two years, the latter for five years.’ The operations were performed at the invitation and with the consent ol Dr. Ceorge Leirfinger, the superin tendent of th: institution. At the end of the period of observation, if im provement in the mental condition of the patients is found, other opera tior.s will be performed, Considered Incurable Heretofore. “Fully 65 per cent of the cases of insanity come under the classification of ‘dementia precox,”” said Dr. Lyd ston, telling of what may prove a sur gical triumph. “Recent blood tests have shown that this form of insani ty is due to imperfect functioning of the delicate sex glands, “The operations I performed on the two women at Dunning were super ficial and involved not the slightest danger. One of ‘the transplanted glands was removed from a 17-year old girl who was killed in an accident seven days ago. It was Kept in a salt solution and stored in a refrigerator. The other was removed from a pa tient 26 years old because of another condition which made the operation necessary. It was kept for 30 hours. 1 have demonstrated by the operation on myself that these glands live after the body from which they have been removed i 9 dead.” U. S. WAITS ON HUERTA. WASHINGTON, March 11.—The Wilson Administration -to-day began a patient wait for the answer of President Victoriano Huerta to the formal demand made through Charge O’'Shaughnessy that the murderers of Clemente Vergara, the Texas ranch man, be punished for the crime.

There are rumors about the college that the young wom:*n are to promise to forego candy to aid the cause, but that seems a large sac rifice, even for a gym, There is a fairly good gvmnasium now, but it is not nearly so large and well equipped as the young women desire, and they have ipaugurated a 1 campaign among themselves to raise the funds to build the new one which . Russia to Take Part . In Opening of Canal Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. ST, PETERSBURG, March 11.—~ The Russian Government to-day ac cepted the invitation of the Uniled States tn send warships to take part in the celebration attending the open ing of the Panama Canal, The Russian battleships will par ticipate in the big international re view in Hampton Roads next year, will include a big swimming pool and every known gymnastic appliance, They already have some money in the bank, $9OO of'which was raised last year in a ‘“‘no meat” campaign. The girls were enthusiastic over the fdea of having a new gym, and tae Students’ Union met to devise ways and means of raising money, Meat Is rerved three times a day at the college and it was suggested that a large amount might be saved if the girls would be willlng to forego meat for breakfast. “Half of us do not eat it, anyway,” said one of the leaders, “and it would be good for the digestion of the other half to go with out it . . Two in Biplane Fall 700 Feet to Death ALDERSHOT, ENGLAND, March 11.—Two more violent deaths in the army aviation corps, making three in two days, occurred to-day when Cap tain Allen and Lieutenant Burroughs were killed while making a flight over Salisbury Plain, The biplane in which the two men were riding collapged 700 feet above the ground i “l Could Kill, I Could Die for Him,” Asserts Mrs. Frank, Ad mitting She Is “Tigress.” NEW YORK, March 11.-“ My san is being sacrificed on an altar of in famy aboe which the seal of the sov ereign State of Georgia repeses. in the tumult the voice of justice is hushed. Loudly boast the Atlanta police that they have brought to jus tice the slayer of little Mary Phagan. “Proudly they tap their shields call ing attention to their omnipotence, their championship of the fair name of Justice. Someone must die that the law might be satisfied. My son, a Jew, was seized upon, trussed like a sheep and cast upon the mercy of a court that sneered at his every at tempt to declare his innocence. But that. court gave ear and credence to the loose-mouthed, parroti‘ke story of a negro—that court of justice.” This is the story of Mrs. Rudoliph Frank, the'mother who sat by Leo M. Frank in the 30-day trial in Atlanta and heard the jury return the vor dict that condemned him to di.. The mother is a tigress, She said: Could Kill or Die for Him. “They called me that in Atlanta. A tigress. Why should I not be? I love my son, my boy. I sat at his side and heard a prosecuting attorncy degrade him by horrible insinuation, by terrible innuendo. They called me a tigress because I :prang from my chair and cried forth my reproach-— the denial trat they would not listen to from my boey. Yes, I am a tigress. I could kill for him; I could die for him. “In my .heart, as I sat beside h'm and heard them rend him as hungry wolves would a tired deer, there arose higher than pity, higher than sorrow, higher than love, a rage that made me a tigress, I watched them push him firther and further toward the scaffold. I heard that prosecut ing attorney declare that he would never indict the negro, Jim Conley, for this crime. I heard him sneer, ‘I that be treason, make the most of i I heard testimony so fals>, so per jured that my nature changed. “You come to me for my story., You ask me how I feel about it. I am his mother. That is my story.” Mrs. Frank views the plight of h-re son with a fierce resentment, in which there is nothing maudlin, nothing cloyingly sentimental. She is Spar tanlike in her courage, almost elc mental in her fierce defense, She sßig: o o Atonement Prayer Daily. “On our Day of Atonement we have a beautiful prayer: “*God keep us and protect us against false accusation and a liar. “Nightly I have so prayed. They will never hang my son. God will not permit it. God has told me 0. I am strong; God has given me the streng: i of His strongest soldier to never gi.e up. I shall hope and ilight until the end. “These tears are not of wcak sor row. They are born of fierce resent ment; of a terrible passion that surges through me when I recall that horrid mockery that the Stat: of Georgia called a trial. Oh, God, to see one's own flesh and blood painted in shame falsely; to see him denied the very principles of justice; to see him torn away from you and to know that he is innocent—innocent--understand? “I.eo was born 30 years ago come April, in Texas. In that year—lBB4-— we moved to New York, and Leo, when he was old enoughy went t» public school in Adelphi street. Such reports he brought home! One hun dred per cent nearly always did they give him. And, too, they sent home little notes with ‘GB' (good boy) and ‘W' (good work) marked on them, Then he went to scheol in Lafayette street and later to Pratt Institate High School, where he won a schol arship to Cornell. Won College Degree. “He entered college in 1902 and won his M. E. in 1906. He was studious, kindly, courteous. He wrote to me that he would marry early in ilfe, anl I blessed him, even though I hated to give up my boy to another woman. He married a girl who is as pure as the angels, and 1 was happy because he was. “The first money that he earned he spent on an insurance policy for $2,000. He made it over to us—his parents. When he married, 1 matde him transfer it to his wife. Would a bad boy thus love his yerents? In 1910 he married Lucile Felig, and I love her as my own child. “But she is not a mother. There« fore she, even, can not feel like I do. People shall read what you write and say: ‘But this is the story of a moth er. This mother is not a judge cof her son's guilt, 1t is but natural thag she should ery his innocence.’ “I tell you it is not so, Of course, I love him. Mayvbe, my love twisis my judgment. But here I :aw my son degraded, T ¢id not see real evi dence piled against him, I heard him vilified; brutally slandered., [ =zaw neither justice nor righteousness in that trial, and the sorrow gave waVv to hbitterncss; to hot protest, to the desire to fight with my hands, “That is my story. That is how I feel about it. 1 know that he will not be hanged. C(iod will bring him back to me and he shall come. to m» as pure, : 3 gentle, as upright as he Jeft me™ 3
