minds, and in your secret, organized purpose,
ZcZZ us so, and do it quickly.
You are bound to know that Leo Frank
defiled and killed Mary Phagan!
It was you, Rabbi Marx, who used all
your religious authority over the wife of
Leo Frank, for three weeks, before you
could coerce her into going to lhe jail.
And you lied like any common liar, when
you told the Atlanta papers, that the reason
she didn’t go, was, that she was expecting
every day that her husband would be re
leased.
Yon knew that he had been bound over
for murder, and could not be bonded out.
You knew whose testimony it was which
proved that Frank and Mary were behind
the closed door of the metal room, while
Monteen Stover was waiting for him, in
and near his vacant office, for full five min
utes, by his clock.
You knew that Frank haa told Harry
Scott, Chief Lanford, John Black, and the
Coroner's jury, he was in his office at
that time.
Yon knew that he had told Rogers, and
Scott, and Lanford, and Black, and the
Coroner’s jury, that Mary Phagan came
into his office next after llattic Hall *eft;
(12:02), and that he talked to Mary, and
gave her the pay-envelope at some minute
between then and 12:10. His deliberately
calculated words were, that Mary came “at
12:05 or 12:10, maybe 12:07”— and Monteen
was in the maids vacant office at that very
time!
Rabbi Marx, you were bound to believe,
from the fatal evidence, that Frank was
the man who committed the crime; yet you
were one of the persons who tried to get
the Gentile girl to change her evidence.
Monteen was virtually asked to perjure
her soul, and defeat God’s justice, in the
interest of the vilest Jew that ever preyed
upon the Gentile girls of Georgia.
Rabbi Marx, is it a habit of yours to go
with people to see witnesses, and get them
to change their testimony?
You didn’t tell Monteen that she had
sworn falsely : you couldn’t.
Mrs. Frank did not tell the girl she was
mistaken, or perjured: she couldn’t.
The blatant old ass, Burns, did not put
his bungling plea, for a change of evidence,
upon the ground that Monteen had lied; he
couldn't.
All of you knew that the girl had-no
motive to swear falsely; and you knew she
was telling the truth; and you knew that
this fine young white woman was the wit
ness who convicted Leo Frank.
In connection with the blood on the floor,
the hair on Barrett’s machine, the peculiar
nature of the wound in the back of the
head, the rigid corpse in the basement, with
the folded little hands fixed upon the frozen
bosom; the amazing statement of Frank,
when Monteen was in his office he must
have been at the toilet, “unconsciously”—
the toilet being near the blood and the hair
—the testimony of Monteen Stover abso
lutely made out the States’ case.
Rabbi Wise, did you know that two Jews
went to the home of this honest girl, and
hinted at an easy way to get rich quick, if
her people would secretly take her off to
Oklahoma ?
Did you know that her step-father, Ed
mondson —a poor man, but honester than
Slaton —ordered those Jews out of his
house?
Did you know that R. P. Barrett was
tempted, and offered a barrel of money, if
he would change his evidence about finding
the girl's hair on his machine, and her blood
on Frank’s floor?, - • ■
THE JEFFERSONIAN
Did you know that Slaton’s own detective
used Slaton’s private office, while engaged
at the dirty work of trying to bribe and
scare the State’s white witnesses into chang
ing their testimony ?
Oh, Rabbi Wise! Is your soul never
wroth when a Jew 7 defiles a Gentile?
The wages of sin is death, Rabbi.
It was always so: it will always be so.
If the God of Israel takes note of the
fall of a sparrow, does He not take notice
of the fall of a star?
For every pure girl that defiles herself,
or is defiled, is a star that falls from the
skies.
Innocent blood must not cry to heaven in
vain: it must be avenged, or a curse will
come upon the land.
Isn’t it so, Rabbi?
Is it for YOU to deny it, TEACHER!
Some Fair Questions for the
Haas Brothers of Atlanta.
(1 ) For what purpose was the Haas
Finance Committee appointed, in
the Frank case, after his case had trav
elled up and down all the roads of regular
legal procedure, and every decision had
been against him?
II hat legitimate work could a Finance
Committee do, after the guilt of the ac
cused had been judicially ascertained, the
death-penalty affirmed, and the whole case
settled, so far as lawful methods could set
tle it ?
'What was it that your Finance Commit
tee proposed to do, and how did you pro
pose to carry your plan into effect ?
(2.) What was your contract with Wil
liam J. Burns? And, did you know 7 , at the
time you hired this grand rascal, that the
United States Department of Justice had
officially branded him as a criminal who
packed juries, suborned witnesses, and ob
tained fraudulent verdicts?
What did you expect such a man as this
to do, after our Supreme Court had re
viewed the evidence in the Frank case, and
found it sustaining the verdict? ,
(3.) How came you to believe that this
man Burns could go to Chicago, and In
dianapolis, and discover new evidence which
would support an extraordinary motion for
a new'trial?
In what way did you satisfy your ow r n
• minds that Burns could discover new evi
dence in those distant cities?
(4.) Did you know that in Chicago,
Burns men piled a heap of gold and sil
ver and greenbacks on a table, in one of
Burns’ rooms, and sent Aaron Allen into
the room alone? *
Did you know that-Burns and Isom and
Jacobs had been pressing Allen, and try
ing to get him to make just such a state
ment as Burns’ men, Lehon and Tedder,
afterwards bought from C. B. Ragsdale?
Did you know that the money had been
placed on the table, in Burns’ room, in
Chicago, in much the same way that it
reached Ragsdale, in Atlanta?
Did you know that Allen, the negro, was
afraid (or too honest) to sell out, and
swear he heard Jim Conley confess the
crime—ust as Ragsdale was afterwards
hired to swear it?
(5.) Did you know of the efforts of C.
W. Burke, Burns, and Lehon, to tamper
with the State’s witnesses, and to corrupt
them into a change of testimony?
Did you know, at the time, of the brib
eries attempted on R. P. Barrett, and Mon
teen Stover ?
Did you know about George Eppes being
hired to leave the State, and of efforts
z made to get some of the girl witnesses to
do the same thing?
What did you suppose that Burns was
doing with the money you gave him'?
(6.)_ Did you know that George Wrenn,
the diamond thief, was working for the
Frank detectives, in the jail where Conley
and the Carter w T oman were confined?
Did you know that the negress was put
into Conley's cell to propose sodomy—so
that Wrenn could catch the negro in the
act ?
Did you know that the Carter woman
swore that Conley never wrote the vile
language in the letters which pretended to
come from him to her, and that she ac
cused Wrenn of writing it?
Did you know it was George YVrenn’s
brother, Jim, who tried to bribe Barrett?
Did you know that Burns himself tried
his hand on Albert McKnight, the husband
of the cook, whom somebody w 7 orked on
successfully, and caused to change the affi
davit she had voluntarily made in the pres
ence of her lawyer, Mr. George Gordon?
(7.) Will you say that you had no
knowledge of the work which you were
paying Burns to do?
Is it a practise of yours to pay money
for prolonged work, without knowing what
that w 7 ork is?
If so, when did you first fall into that
peculiar habit?
(8.) Did you know that a Jew tried
to bribe the Carter woman to put into Jim
Conleys food, a certain powder, which
they showed her?
You heard of it, didn’t you? Were you
shocked and horrified; or did you think the
powder was some sort of pepsine, good for
indigestion?
(9.) In your judgment, where did the
S2OO that Ragsdale got, come from?
Did it just fall out of the skies, break
into the office, and force its way into
Ragsdale's pockets?
Give us your ideas about these ducats.
Usually when a man is paid a sum of
money, he is paid by the person who gets
what is given in return for the money.
Ragsdale's affidavit was calculated to
vastly benefit Leo Frank: Burns and Rosseti
and Lehon were working for Frank: they
got from Ragsdale something that they
wanted badly.
Do you reckon that either one of these
men/paid Ragsdale the $200?
Did you sign any check for the noble
Burns, at about that time?
(10.) How much did you pay Connolly
for writing that mess of lies for Collier’s,
and how much did you pay Collier's for
publishing it?
(11.) How much did you pay W. E.
Thomson for his pamphlet, and liow much
did M. J. Yeomans get for his brilliant
work?
Did you pay Yeomans anything extra for
embracing Dr. Wilmer on the street?
Did you pay Yeomans extra for that lie
he told, up and down the State, about the
“W. J. .Jenkins,” who offered to sell Jef*
fersonian influence?? _
(12.) In all, how much did it cost to
poison the Union against your State, and
to arouse a bitter race-hatred against Jews,
which your State never felt before?
Do you now think it w 7 as worth what if
cost yoi\, to malign your native State, and
to bring upon your race a hostility which?
had no existence when you organized your
Committee ? :
(13.) If Mary Phagan had been a Jew-<
ess, would your course have been the same 9
