he allowed to hang last summer, and those
two Georgians wil haunt his dreams.
He will think of a telegram that he sent,
one year ago, to the Sheriff of Jones County,
sending Nick Wilburn to the scaffold. It
reads:
Atlanta, Ga., June 11, 1914.
C. E. Roberts, Sheriff, Gray, Ga.:
I have declined to interfere with the sentence
of Nick Wilburn. Let the judgment of the Court
be carried out.
JOHN M. SLATON, Governor.
ONE LAW FOR THE RICH, AND AY
OTHER FOR THE POOR!
What Georgians can now deny it?
Mary Phagan, pursued and tempted, and
entrapped, and then killed, when she would
not do what so manv other girls had done
for this Jewish hunter of Gentile girls.
There she lies at Marietta, unavenged by
the Law!
And her pursuer and murderer, spirited
out of Atlanta, unshackled, and taken in his
natty new suit and patent leather shoes, on
a Pullman ped ace car, to the State Farm,
FROM WHICH AV ESCAPE WILL BE
ARRANGED FOR HIM IN LESS THAN
THIRTY DAYS!
Tlie Haas Finance Committee and its co
operative organizations do not intend that
Frank shall be punished at all, for the rape
and murder he committed on the Gentile
girl.
In their eyes, she was legitimate prey; and
with their Unlimited Money and Invisible
Power, they have established the precedent
in Georgia, that no Jew shall suffer capital
punishment for a crime committed on a Gen
tile.
In the name of God, what are the people
to do. when they wait patiently, two years,
for the just sentence of the Law to be en
forced: and when, after all other shifts and
tricks have failed the criminal, one of the
partners of a law-firm prostitutes his official
position, TO SAVE THE CLIENT OF
THE FIRM?
Hereafter, let no man reproach the South
with Lynch law: let him remember the un
endurable provocation; and let him say
whether Lynch law is not het ter than no law
at all.
What Rosser and Slaton have together
done, nullifies the Code, abolishes the courts,
and plunges us into administrative anarchy.
“Amend your ways and your doings!
Shed not innocent hlood!
So are their houses full of deceit; there
fore. they are become great, and WAXEN
RICH', vea THEY OVERPASS THE
DEEDS OF THE WICKED', they judge
not the cause. THE CAUSE OF THE
FATHERLESS.
Yet they prosper!
Shall I not visit for these things, saith
the Lord.
Shall not my soul be avenged on such a
nation/as this?
A WONDERFUL AND HORRIBLE
THING IS COMMITTED IN THE
LAND?'
THE PEOPLE BEING HEARD FROM IN THE
FRANK CASE.
Manchester, Ga., June 21, 1915.
Governor J. M. Slaton, Atlanta, Ga.:
This is to notify you that the citizens of your
old home county, AJeriwether, bid you adieu for
ever, and as we love and cherish our women and
would leave no stone unturned to protect them
in the purity of the surrounding in which they
move and live-we warn you not to contaminate
the atmosphere in which they exist with one
single breath from your vile nostrils. We feel
that the people of the State shoul I now take up
this case and settle it in short order. Wire us at
our expense amount of money you received to
commute Frank’s sentence, as we Lave numerous
Inquiries. While Jewish gold hangs around your
neck the bloody ghost of little Mary Phagan will
haunt you in this world and the world to come.

THE JEFFERSONIAN
Woodbury, Ga., June 21, 1915.
Governor John M. Slaton, Atlanta, Ga.:
We, the Citizens of Meriwether, regret such a
man as you were born in our county. Scratch the
word justice from our State Seal and tear down
every court house in Georgia, for we have no
more justice and no more law. The honor of our
State is gone, and we hope you will enjoy what
you have received therefrom.

Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.:
Dear Mr. Watson: Am enclosing copy of tel
egram sent this morning to Gov. John M. Slaton,
Atlanta, Ga,, and would thank you to have the
same appear in The Jeffersonian, so that the peo
ple at large may know just how we feel over what
Slaton has done.
May the good Lord allow you to live long
enough to drive this man into exile; for the
stain which he has cast upon our State will take
time eternity to erase. Every man, -woman and
child in the State of Georgia should be proud
that we have cne man with the courage to make
the fight for justice which you have made —a
man that has placed law and justice above money.
With kindest regards for you and The Jeffer
sonian, I am, Yours very truly,
' A. D. JONES.
P. S. A copy of the enclosed message is being
sent to the three Atlanta daily papers, but, judg
ing from their stand in the past, don’t expect it
to be published. A. D. J.
Marietta, Ga., June 20 1915.
The Jeffersonian, Thomson, Ga.:
Jack Slaton hung in effigy here today. This
placard -was placed on dummy: “Jack Slaton,
King of the Jews; Traitor Governor of Georgia.”
Yours truly, W. T. LEWIS.
Athens, Ga., June 21, 1915.
Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.:
Dear Sir: You have done your duty; faithful
among the faithless found; faithful only you.
The action of Mr. Slaton does not surprise me.
His name will be used in the years to come to
frighten and horrify children; may the Lord
reward according to his works. I could not yvish
him greater damnation. ’ '
And will he ever suffer the pangs of remorse?
Not at all, for he is consciousless. The Peach
tree licentiate has spit upon and despised the
working girls. Will he be injured in fortune?
Not at all. He has put money in his pocket, and,
besides, he is a pensioner—the variety I will not
mention as being in violation of the postal laws.
Hardwick well said of him, “He’s a feather
legged dunghill of the rankest variety.”
Let not the people distrust the courts. They
are good, and their integrity has been established.
It was reserved for them to see their Governor
sell them out: Judas betrayed Christ; Arnold his
country; Slaton his people.. The blood of Mary
Phagan is unavenged. But small matter is this
to the gentleman who makes the mistake of
thinking he has lost nothing by the betrayal of
trust. His unquestioned recognition of the fact
that he was politically dead bore on the subject.
You say “Nothing concerning the dead unless it
is good;” but how can you exercise charity in
the presence of this vilainy?
“When the righteous are in authority, the peo
ple rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule
the people mourn.”
Solomon could have used this expression could
he have been here today.
Yours very truly,
. SUBSCRIBER AND ADMIRER.
Atlanta, Ga., June 21, 1915.
Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.:
The good people of Georgia feel very much
embarrassed owing to the fact we have not had a
Governor for the last two years. Let us hope we
will have one real soon. HORACE R. MOORE.
Fort Gaines, Ga., June 21, 1914.
Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.:
As a Colony or State there has never been
such a crime Committed against our institutions
and people as Slaton has committed. I made
twenty-three speeches for Slaton for Senator. I
believed in his honor and integrity. I can’t get a
line in a daily paper. Wont you publish this and
tell my friends throughout Georgia that in my
sad, lonesome hour of disappointment that I wish
to apologize for asking for their support of a
man who refuses to let the law protect innocent
childhod. Whom can we trust? What can we
do? The bleached bones of innocent childhood
scream out from the tomb to Georgia manhood.
Does that voice apeal in vain? We shall see.
EMMET R. SHAW.
Alma, Ga., June 21, 19915.
Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.:

comutation of the death sentence of Leo M.‘
Frank, we hereby petition you to return to the
people of Georgia the commission they trusted

Here’s a Belgian Young Lady
Fishing For Love. Brimg Up
a Rosy Young Priest.
HP HE newspaper organ of Archbishop
1 James E. Quigley is called The New
World.
Quigley is the corpulent virgin of the
Pope who publicly threatened us with tha
American secret military organizations of
his Italian master.
Those secret, treasonous organizations are
the Hibernians, the German Central Verein,
and the Knights of Columbus.
In the latest issue of The New World, the
following advertisement appears:
7
WANTED Priest’s housekeeper: Belgian
young lady. Address New- World, Box No. 2030.
Why are these Romanist young ladies so
eager to keyp house for the Pope's port-wine
and beef-meht bachelors?
Any decent non-Catholic neighborhood
would be tremendously scandalized, if a
single young lady should live alone in the
same house with a single young gentleman.
A Protestant grand jury would soon get
busy on such a case.
You glance at a young man, on the cars,
or on the sidewalk, and you take in his gen
eral appearance: you see that «his body is
rounded out by good living, and that his
face is florid, his lips red. his neck thick,
and his mouth and eyes coarse.
You notice a fold in the back of his neck,
and a bump of amativeness, as big as your
fist, on the back of his skull.
You say to yourself—“ This young animal
is a gross feeder, and he is a sensualist of
the greediest type.”
Lay your eyes thoughtfully upon the aver
age priest, and note what an animal he is.
A coarser looking man you rarely meet.
As a rule, a priest of thirty and forty years
bulges with fat living—bulges at the mouth,
bulges at the eyes, bulges at the neck, bulges
at the stomach.
This is the animal who asks you to be
lieve that he can live alone in a house where
his companion, by day and by night, is a
buxom young woman, whose education causes
her to believe that whatever she consents to
do for the priest, will be pleasing in the
sight of God.
This is the man who asks you to believe
that he can keep young women in his
power, under lock and key. behind thick
walls that tell no.tales, without ever wishing
to enjoy those tempting young women.
This is the man who sneaks around to the
Knights of Columbus, and has ex-priest P.
A. Seguin, ex-nun Anna Lowry, and your
humble servant, arrested and ind.icted. for
letting the world know the vile character of
the language he uses to the Catholic's wife
and daughter, when he has those women
under his thumb, at the confessional.
'This is the animal who asks you to believe
that he can use lascivious language to a
woman, in private, without feeling any
lascivious inclination.
In other words, this fat beast of a priest,
asks yon to believe the incredible, and to
make a monkey out of yourself by doing so
—while he employs the young Belgian lady,
and they two go the way of all flesh.
