Has the State of New York
Killed an Innocent Man?
A LINCOLN, Illinois, paper says that the
American Jews were justified in their
national campaign for Leo Frank, “because
the jury, the judge, and the higher courts
were against him.”
It has to be that way, you know, unless
you resort to lynching
Nobody can be legally put to death, unless
the jury, and the courts are against him.
It seems that rich Jews who lust after
Gentile girls, and who take life in the pur
suit, are to be exempt from Gentile punish
ment.
During the Big Money campaign, when so
many hack-writers were following the lead
of the noble William J. Burns, there ap
peared a big head-line—
“7LLS GEORGIA CONDEMNED AN
INNOCENT MAN TO DIET'
Beneath the head-line came column after
column of stull' which pretended to be official
evidence.
Instead of its being evidence, it was made
up falsehood that had no foundation save in
Jew money and Gentile mendacity.
But what about Becker?
Bead the following clip from a New York
paper:
Becker died an innocent man, in the opinion of
his spiritual advisers, Fathers Curry and
Cash in.
“From your experience with condemned men,”
Father Cashin was asked, “isn’t it your belief
that a guilty man always confesses in the last
few hours?”
“Invariably,” the priest responded. “Usually
the confession comes alter the sacrament has
been given. Becker maintained his innocence to
the end.
“Father Curry said to him, after we had ad
ministered the Holy Sacrament: ‘Are you guilty,
by word, or deed, or in any manner whatsoever,
of this crime?’
“Becker answered: ‘Father, as I stand oh the
brink of the grave, I am not.’ ”
Now, let me tell you two things about
Becker:
(1.) A man who. in his farewell interview
with his wife, told her to place on his
coflin a plate, accusing Governor Whitman of
murdering him, had not forgiven his “ene
mies,” as he professed to have done, and had
not really became a Christian as he pre
tended to have done; and he went to his
death with, such malignant hatred of Whit
man that he would have caused him to be
assassinated had he, Becker, ever got the
chance.
(2.) Becker meditated and planned a crime
against the Jew gambler, Rosenthal; and
while that crime may not have contemplated
murder, Becker was guilty of murder, if in
the carrying out of his felonious plan, Ro
senthal got killed.
You will notice that the priest confined
himself to “this crime” —that is, the crime of
murder.
The priest has not said that Becker de
nied being guilty of any crime against
Rosenthal.
The priest may not know that the Law
holds a man guilty of the crime of murder,
if in the course of a felonious design against
another's life or property, the intended vic
tim of the felony loses his life.
If Becker was not guilty of murder, why
did the priests refuse the high mass to
Becker’s remains? |
If he was innocent of any crime, why was
his body denied the fullest honors of the
Roman Catholic Church?
After Curry had confessed the condemned
man. and put the pan-cake in his mouth,
wasn’t Becker as sure of salvation as
Curry is?
The New York priests have not appeared
consistent in this case.
THE JEFFERSONIAN
Rev. Curry made an affidavit to Becker’s
innocence of the Rosenthal murder; and he
gave Becker a regular pan-cake absolution.
Yet he would not allow his widow the
consolation supposed to be peculiar to High
Mass and a place in the chancel.
Why not%
Mr. Hearst should instruct Arthur Bris
bane and Supreme Court Judge Shearn to
investigate, and report to him in this case.
The Jew Juclge of the Supreme Court of
New York came to Georgia, under instructions
from Mr. Hearst; and this Jew Judge took
jurisdiction of the Frank case, reviewed it,
AND REVERSED THE ...SUPREME
COURT OF GEORGIA.
Judge Shearn told Mr. Hearst that he had
visited Frank, and had carefully cross-exam
ined him!
It was probably as severe a course of
sprouts as Rosser gave to the Rev. Ragsdale,
.before Rosser dictated the perjured affidavit
which put S2OO of somebody’s lucre in Rags
dale’s pocket.
At any rate, Frank was mighty careful
not to allow Hugh Dorsey to ask him any
questions when the trial was in progress.
Why is an educated and intelligent white
man afraid of questions, when accused of
living a double life, accused of beastial
vices, accused of unnatural intercourse with
an unconscious girl, and accused of choking
her to death with a piece of hemp cord?
When did innocence ever sit silent under
those terrible accusations —silent except in
carefully-written statements which are not
subjected to the fair test of a legal cross
examination ?
If there ever is a time for innocence to
answer every fair question, it is when it is
charged with such crime.
Becker wouldn’t go upon the witness
stand, because had he done so, the State
could have cross-examined him about his
statement.
Kinder to the defendant than New York
law is, Georgia allowed Leo Frank to r>
upon the stand and talk all day in his own
behalf—but as he wouldn’t offer to answer
any questions, the State couldn't ask him
any.
And when the Jew Judge of the New York
Supreme Court cross-examined Frank —if he
ever did it—he was careful to exclude wit
nesses.
Leo Frank cannot now stand up under a
cross-examination, any more than he could
at his trial.
The rich Jews of Atlanta knew this, on
the day the girl’s body was found in Frank's
place of business, and they hurriedly pussy
footed to the best lawyers in Atlanta, before
a single Gentile had pointed to Frank as the
guilty man.
Why did Franks’ uncle, and his father-in
law, and his Haases, employ Rosser on Sun
day, a few hours after the girl's bloody
corpse was found?
What caused them to know that Frank
needed the best lawyers before the Gentiles
suspected such a thing?
- And do tell us what it was his wife knew,
that same day, which kept her away from
her husband for three weeks?
When a man’s own wife avoids him, and
his kinsmen rush to employ lawyers before
he is accused, and when he himself won’t
allow the State to ask him questions, what
does your common sense tell you?
Those undeniable, and undenied facts, all
appearing in the official record of the case,
carry moral conviction of the man’s guilt,
outside of the two scores ot white witnesses
who testified against him.
Has New York killed an innocent man?
The Jewish-Hearst papers answer, “No!”
The inconsistent conduct of the Roman
clergy answers, “No!” • "
The verdict of the jury, and the decisions
.of New York courts answer, “No!”
£
Did Georgia condemn an innocent man to
die?
Anyway, he didn’t die.
Jew dollars were too many for us.
They bought us up.
They flung us down, and put filth on us.
Be Careful How You Send
Money.
RATHER than go to the trouble to buy a
postal order, or stamps, or to register a
letter, people wad up dimes and dollars in a
letter, and mail them to us.
Sometimes the cash comes through, and
sometimes it doesn’t.
We are not responsible for money sent in
that careless manner.
Like all other branches of human industry,
the postoffice service has dishonest people in
it, and when one of these men —black or
white —feels money in the envelope, he
steals it.
My daughter and Mrs. Lytle open our
mail, and whenever the cash makes a safe
trip through the mails, the person who took
that risk gets what he ordered.
Not only is money stolen from the mails,
but books, magazines, and even papers are
often swiped.
As it costs us at least 10 cents to get a
bank check cashed, please do not send small
sums in that way.
A man who sends us a- check for ten cents,
knowing that it will cost us ten cents to col
lect it. needs religion.
And lots of it.
