LEO FRANK SENTENCED AGAIN
IN the January number of Watson's Maga
-1 zine, which will be out in a few davs, there
is a careful review of the State's case against
Leo Frank. It is too long for our weekly
paper, but not too long for the honor of Geor
gia, the integrity of her courts, and the
majesty of her laws.
So persistent have been the falsehoods that
have gone abroad, and so unscrupulous the
methods adopted to save Frank from the just
consequences of his premeditated and awful
crime against poor little Mary Phagan, that
I considered the time well spent that was re
quired to write out a fair argument on die
material facts.
I have not used the negro''s evidence at all!
The evidence of Jim Conley is not neces
sary to the conviction of Frank. This state'
ment will create surprise, no doubt, but why?
Because Frank, and Burns, and the lawyers,
and the newspapers, and C. P. Connolly have
so often alleged that he was convicted on the

The appointment of Houston fell upon
mankind with a dull thud. Nobody could
recollect when and where he had been heard
of before. In fact, he had not been heard of
by anybody, so far as can be ascertained.

The report reads as though it were written

testimony of Jim Conley, “ a drunken brute
of a negro.”
That allegation is impudently false, just as
was Frank's written and published statement,
that the Supreme Court of Georgia had never
reviewed the evidence in the case.
If you will simply read the record that went
up, on the motion for new trial, and will read
Hugh Dorsey’s speech, you will see at once
how outrageously Frank has misrepresented
the relation of Conley’s testimony to his con
viction.

Don't take my word for this: Dorsey's

As already stated, it is impossible for me,
in this paper, to go over all the proved cir
cumstances which appear in the record: I do
that in the Magazine; but ! will call your at
tention to one vital, fatal point against Frank.
You will remember that the undisputed evi
dence placed both Frank and the negro in the
factory building, at the time of the crime.
Frank’s present story puts both him and the
negro there. Mrs. Arthur White's testimony
also puts both Frank and Conley there.
Indisputably, the girl was there, for her
blood-marks were on the floor, and her torn
body, with her under-garments dyed in Ter
virginal blood, was there.

and prosperous, that they need nothing more
than private loan associations among them
selves. All they have to do, to be happy, is to
lend their money to one another. That’s what
Houston virtually says.
In other words, a number of farmers who
haven’t got any money, will form themselves
into a loan association, and will help each
other out, by lending what they haven’t got
to those who want it.
Houston is a great man, else he never would
have thought of that.
But of course his real idea is. that every
fanner mho needs to borrow money must. kneel
to the legalized Money Trust, and beg for it.
