Why Do They Keep Up the Big Money Campaign Against the People
THERE is a Moving Picture circuit «*ndl iho Conrmfl*? And he is now opposed to capital
controlled by Marcus Loew. VOUrIS OS UeOXgid . , pun i s hment!)
'T' HERE is a Moving Picture circuit
controlled by Marcus Loew.
Marcus is doubtless a worthy de
scendant of Moses.
Like most gentlemen * from Jerusalem,
Marcus loves money, and never Knows what
it is to get enough.
Marcus is advertising Jack Slaton as an
asset in his business, and is evidently expect
ing to coin many ducats thereby.
' Perhaps the rich Jews believe that they
are entitled to get some of their money back
»■ —the money which gave Burns a front page
display for more than a year, and then gave
Slaton an army and a war-zone of his own.
Marcus Loew advertises in The Billboard
his new attraction, which he aptly terms,
“The Million-Dollar Publicity Feature?
Underneath the million dollars, comes Jack
Slaton's picture—which shows that Marcus
knows how to hang pictures.
On a parellel line with Jack’s face, ap
pears another, which is labelled “Leo Frank,’’
but it is not a picture of Frank.
Marcus is too shrewd a person to present
to the public the real Leo Frank, with his
sadistic mouth and degenerate features.
“Governor Slaton: Leo Frank!
“The only genuine and authentic Motion
Pictures of the Principal Characters in our
Nation’s Greatest Legal Conflict. Posed
•with their permission?
In advertising his Million Dollar Attrac
tion, the agent of Marcus Loew says:
J
“I secured moving pictures of Governor Slaton,
his wife, and of Leo M. Frank, and his mother,
upon condition that I would use them in conjunc
tion with a film to be called ‘Thou Shalt Not Kill,’
which argues for the abolition of capital punish
ment in America.
“Never before in the history of the moving pic
ture industry has it been possible to make a pic
ture of a man confined in a penitentiary for the
term of las natural life, and never was a picture
made as was the case with Governor Slaton, while
lie was surrounded by the militia, who were hold
ing at bay the howling mob of over 10,000 peo--
pie.”
The Commutation oi Frank’s Sentence Is Null and Void!
/ r AI7R Supreme Court lias repeatedly de
cided that a Judge cannot preside in a
case in which he had been of counsel.
No lawyer Would ever contend that a
Judge could legally preside, -or sign any de
cree in a case where he was then of coun
sel.
Such action would be null, and time could
not make it valid.
If John M. Slaton had been of counsel
for Leo Frank, but had ceased to be so when
he became Governor, it would have been
illegal had he re-tried the case, and reversed
the courts.
But since lie actually was of counsel for
Frank, his commutation was not only a base
betrayal of his trust, but his decision is a
nullity.
By retaining his membership in Rosser's
firm, he continued to be one of Frank's law
yers.
He didn’t have to go to the offices of the
firm, every day: he didn’t have to assist his
partners in the preparation of their cases:
Thomson, Ga,, Thursday, August 12, 1915
(So, you see, Marcus says that he took
Slaton's picture while the mob was howling
—and Jack never howled at all. Maybe he
was again “snoring sweetly.”
And he allowed the rich Jews to pose his
wife for commercial purposes, also.
Sig Montag is the uncle of Leo Frank, and
he threatens to prosecute me for defending
the honor of our courts and our people.
Isaac Haas is the brother of the man who
is Chairman of the Haas Finance Committee,
which has vilified Georgia from sea to sea.
These two rich Jews have put a written
demand on Hugh Dorsey, THAT HE BE
COME MY PROSECUTOR.
It is not the duty of a Solicitor to become
anybody’s PROSECUTOR.
Let Montag and Haas COME INTO THE
OPEN, and swear out a warrant against me,
or have their names; signed as Prosecutors to
a bill to go before the Grand Jury.
THESE' RICH JEWS HAVE USED GEN
TILE AGAINST GENTILE LONG ENOUGH.
LET THE RICH JEWS WHO HAVE
THRATENED TO CRUSH ME, TAKE THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ATTACK.
Perhaps it will clear up the atmosphere if
the Frank case is re-opened, its putrid spots
laid bate, and its horrible secrets told from
the house-tops.
LET MONTAG & HAAS EMPLOY ROS
SER, ARNOLD & SLATON TO PROSECUTE
ME. 1 will act as my own lawyer; and when
I get through with the Frank case, the peo
ple will understand it.
The rich Jews of Boston, New York and
Atlanta have long made their threats, and I
have been expecting the attack.
LET IT COME, but let the Jews be brave
enough to make it, OVER THEIR OWN
NAME.
We have had enough of Cat’s-paw work.
ATTACK ME YOURSELF, MR. SIG MON
TAG.
ATTACK ME YOURSELF, MR. ISAAC
HAAS!
he didn’t have to appear in the court room.
By remaining the partner of Rosser &
Phillips, he remained of counsel for the
client of the firm.
Will the papers ever see the point?
Just as the Law fixes a man's legal resi
dence, and just as the Law fixes the recip
rocal duties of husband and wife, parent and
child, guardian and ward, master and ser
vant, so the Law fixes the status of part
ners, both as to themselves and to the
world.
In the eye of the Law, the Georgia Rail
road is one person, although it may have a
thousand stockholders.
In the eye of the Law, an Insurance Com
pany is one person, although thousands may
have an interest in it.
Rich Bros. Company is one person, in law,
although half a dozen capitalists are joint
owners.
A partnership is one person, and the act
of each partner, is the act of the firm.
And he is now opposed to capital
, punishment!)
Thus Slaton becomes an active ac
complice in the continued defamation of our
courts, and our people.
That, a man who so recently occupied the
highest Stale office, and who came so near
to becoming a United States Senator, sho”*
stoop to commercialize himself. D IIIS
WIFE. and become a party to the systematic
vilification of the State which had so hon
ored him, is one of the marvelous develop
ments of this never-ending Frank case.
The Marcus Loew advertisement con
tinues:
“The feature that lias had millions of dol
lars of Front-page publicity."
Yes: it had the millions, all right.
Boxed in a separate place appears the no
ble sentiment of Slaton —•
“I did what I believed to be my duty, and
refused to become a second Pontius Pilate,
and deliver innocent blood to the mob.
Most noble Roman'. The mob that sen
tenced Leo Frank to death consisted of
twelve sworn jurors, two Superior Court
Judges, four Justices of the Supreme Court
of Georgia, and seven Justices of the Su
preme Court of the United States. s
To round out the mob, we will include two
members of the Prison Commission.
The twelve jurors, the Superior Court
Judge, and the Supreme Court constituted,
in the Wilburn case, a mob that was per
fectly satisfactory to the noble Slaton.
In* the Cantrell cases, the same mob sent
two Georgians to the scatfold, and Slaton
made no mention of Pontius Pilate.
In the case of the old North Georgia
tenant, Umphrey, there was no criticism of
the mob which had condemned him on cir
cumstantial evidence; and Slaton did not
compare old man Umphrey to Jesus Christ.
The aged tenant was accused of killing a
landlord whom he accused of wronging him
(continued on page two.)
One partner may act for all. and legally
bind all, in any business of the firm.
Law partnerships contemplate joint action
in the interest of clients.
Law partnershpis contemplate unity of
purpose, and a division of fees.
Governor-elect Slaton became the partner
of Rosser & Phillips after they had publicly
appeared as Frank's leading lawyers.
Governor Slaton continued to be the
partner of Frank’s lawyers all through the
gubernatorial term —Mr entire two years
during which he could, not legally and
openly act with the firm.
Why did he retain a useless partnership?
How can you explain his conduct, except
upon the idea that lie formed it intending to
use it?
When you see that he held on to it, and
finally used it for the benefit of the client of
his firm, how can you escape the conclusion
that he and Rosser had that very thing in
mind ?
