“We met Lemmie Quinn, afterwards, at
the Greek Case.”
After leaving the factory,’ these ladies
■went to the corner of Alabama and Forsyth
Streets to use a telephone.
“It took us about five minutes to go
there and come back to the Greek Case. We
got a cup of coffee and a sandwich, and were
getting the change, when Quinn came in.”
Mrs. Freeman (page 104 of the Brief)
corroborated Miss Hall, and said that it was
about a quarter to twelve when they left the
factory.
“I remember her looking at the clock. We
met Lemmie Quinn afterwards in a case. He
said he had just been up to see Mr. Franks
Mrs. Arthur White also testified to the
time Miss Hall and Mrs. Freeman were at
the factory. They left before she did, and
she swore that she left at 11:50.
Thus four white witnesses demolished the
Lemmie Quinn alibi; and three of these de
structive witnesses were Frank’s employees,
two of whom were put up as his witnesses.
In addition to this, you have —as the jury
had —the evidence of both Frank and Quinn,
that, at first, neither of them placed Quinn’s
visit in the afternoon.
And in shifting it from the forenoon to
the afternoon, Frank blundered into the sig
nificant slip of leaving the morning saluta
tion, UN SHI FT ED.
Quinn had looked at his watch, and Frank
had heard the noon-whistle blow, yet it was
still “Good morning!” Why? Because that
much of it was true.
So, you see, it all revolves around the
time when Mary Phagan was last seen alive;
and the half-hour which followed.
Glance at the testimony of M. E. McCoy,
pages 229 and 230 of the Brief:
«■ “I knew Mary Phagan. I saw her, on
April 26, in front of Cooledge’s place, at
12 Forsyth Street. She was going towards
the pencil factory, south on Forsyth Street,
on right hand side.
“Zif was near twelve o'clock. I left the
corner of Walton and Forsyth Streets, ex
actly 12 o’clock, and came straight on down
there’’ —where he saw Mary.
This is the most satisfactory evidence as
to the exact time Mary got to the factory.
McCoy swore that it was exactly twelve
o'clock, when he left the Walton-Forsyth
corner; and that it was near twelve (after
wards, of course,) when he saw the girl.
Then allow time for her to reach the fac
tory, just a few yards away, and you have
NEARLY what Leo Frank told Chief Lan
jord, on the next Monday morning—told
him before he had the slightest idea that
Monteen Stover was following close upon
the heels of the doomed Mary.
According to McCoy, who was not im
peached or contradicted, Mary Phagan
would most assuredly have been seen by Hat
tie Hall, or by Monteen Stover, had she not
gone between the times, when Hattie left
(12:02) and Monteen arrived (12:05).
With McCoy seeing Mary so near the fac
tory, at not more than two or three min
utes after twelve, it is impossible to account
for her, between then and the time after
Monteen left the office, except upon the idea
that she went in, was taken by Frank to the
metal room, and killed there, as Conley
swore, and as the hair and blood proved.
If Lemmie Quinn's presence in the fac
tory, in the afternoon, proves it to have been
physically impossible for Frank to have
committed the crime, it proves the same
thing for Jim Conley.
The Lord knows, it is bad enough to
have them insulting our intelligence by tell
ing us that a negro would assault and mur
der a white girl, in a white man’s house,
within thirty feet of the white man!
But to tell us that the negro would do

mittee.
'T'HREE gentlemen of Jerusalem strayed
1 from Jei’cho and Joppa, down to the
City of the Many Gates —where they en
tered into business; and, by a strict avoid
ance of hog-meat, and other Gentile abom
inations, they waxed as fat as Jeshurun
just before he “kicked.”
(Consult your Bibles, brethren, and find
the place for yourselves! I can't always
be telling you where to find things in the
Book.)
“Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked."
That’s where his troubles started. When
ever a Jew waxes fat, lie struts before the
Lord, in such an arrogant manner, that the
Lord has to call him down.
Isn’t it strange, that the Jews do not
peruse their own part of the Bible, and
learn how dangerous it is to kick, after they
wax fat?
Thus saith the Book: “But Jeshurun
waxed fat, and kicked. . . . then he forsook
God.”
The Book proceeds to tell how the Lord
cursed the insolent Jew, who had become
rich and Godless.
(I believe I will relent, and cite you to
the place: it is Deuteronomy, chapter 32,
verse 15.)
Yes, three men of Jerusalem came into
Georgia, to get rich on the heathen who
devour swine flesh: and in due time, they
waxed fat.
Did their riches fill them with kindness
toward the Gentiles who had enriched
them ?
By no means. Jeshurun, having waxed
fat, kicked.
He became so puffed up before the Lord,
that he made for himself a golden calf; and
he not only worshipped this’ yellow animal,
himself, but he strangely deluded himself
with the idea that he could convert all the
hog-eaters to the same worship.
And that's where Jeshurun came to grief.
He overestimated the hypnotic spell of his
golden idol.
He knew that his own soul was saturated
with the love of Money, and he fancied that
all other men —especially hog-eaters—must
be as mercenary as himself.
So it came to pass, that one fine morning
we awoke, to discover a new thing under the
sun.
A Committee of rich Jews had estab
lished itself in Atlanta, to erect a Golden
Calf, in the market place; and they called
such a thing, almost in the presence of two
white men, is altogether insane.
No, no, gentlemen! When the fatuous
Rosser actually took the trouble to prove,
on cross-examination, that Conley had never
seen the recently ■employed night-watchman,
and was consequently unable to have de
scribed him. as he is described in the notes
that were found near the murdered gin.
Rosser eternally rounded out the State’s case
against Leo Frank.
Rosser proved that when the notes were
written, it was the Jew, and not the negro,
who was capable of describing the tall, slim,
black night-watch, Newt Lee.
As I said last week, it was a stupendous
blunder.
It should never be forgotten, that when
the Vigilantes said to Frank:
‘‘'‘This is your last time; have you any
statement to make?” he merely closed up
stoically, and made no protest of innocence.
He acted as resignedly as though he had
been in the hands of the Sheriff.
PRACTICALLY, IT WxS A CONFES
SION!
upon all mankind to fall down end worship ~
the new-old idol.
With amazing self-confidence, brutal in-,
science, and lawless dkt rdery, this Haas
brotherhood set up their Golden Calf: and
with incredible audacity, they bugled for
devotees.
Did the idolaters appear?
They did. They came singly, and they
came in droves. Seme came from the North,
some from the- East, some from the West,
and some from the South.
Were any cf these idolaters residents of
the Gate City ? They were.
And a motley crew it was.
There was a diamond thief at one end
of the line, and a Doctor of Divinity at the
other.
In fact, there was only one thief, but
three Doctors of Divinity.
There were four courtesans at one side of
the lane, and six editors at the other.
Only one of the strumpets was black;
the ethers were white: only one of the edi
tors was a negro; the others were Locker-
Club Caucasians.
Even in the matter of worshipping a
Golden Calf, set up by the Jews, the Afri
can race shows its hopeless inferiority.
The dominant quality of the Locker-Club
Caucasian persists.
There was a. man of the name of C. P.
Connolly, whose heme is in Colorado; and
he came all the way from that remote
region to kneel to the Golden Calf which
the Jews had set up, in the moral desert.
There was a man of the name of A. R.
McDonald; and he came all the way from
Missouri (Pike County?) to worship the
yellow idol which the Jews had erected in
Atlanta.
Need I say, that Hearst also came?
That well-known and universally beloved
Friend of Man (who wants war- with Mex
ico, but not with Germany) came in person
to tell our Governor what to do; and
for fear Rosser’s gubernatorial partner
might lose his nerve, the philanthropic
Hearst detailed his little Jew jackass. Clar
ence Shearn, to come down to Atlanta, to
assure Slaton there was no evidence against
Leo Frank.
Need I sav that Burns and Lehon came?
Would the collection have been complete
without M. J. Yeomans?
It would not.
- M. J. knelt so ardently to the Jewish
idol, that he lias callosities on his knees,
compensated, however, by honest ducats in
his pockets.
Could the able attorneys of the Jew
owned L. & N. Railroad system keep away
from the Calf? They could not. At least,
they did not.
We saw them bob up. in Savannah, in
Augusta, in Atlanta, in Macon, and in some
rural communities; and, with delightful
chorus, they sang hymns to the Golden
Heifer.
Men who never took a hand in a murder
case before, took a strong hand in this one.
Railroad lawyers, who had never chirped,
when murderers were being hanged in their
own towns, were certain that Gabriel would
speed up his trumpet blowing, if Leo Frank
were hanged.
Doctors of Divinity, who had never
preached about law cases in their pulpits
before, took the Frank case to the sacred
desk, and laid it vehemently on the Throne
of Grace.
Editors who had never before instructed
the courts how to dispose of the criminal
docket, took jurisdiction of the Frank case,
and ordered Judge Ben Hill to give Frank
a new trial, else his execution under Su
preme Court sanction, and Judge Roan’s
mandate, would be “judicial murder.”
Os suchp are the consequences of setting
