Additional Letters From the People THE FOOL-KILLER
’ A VETERAN WRITES OF THE
FRANK EXECUTION.
Dear Sir:
I am a tarheel, an old veteran over
three score and ten, don’t often
Write for the papers, but I want to
congratulate you, on the wav you
handle the Haas finance committee
in the last issue of Jeff. It is uni
versally admitted that thousands of
rich Jews just furnished barrels of
money to save Frank’s neck; wasn’t
it passing strange that after every
one had failed in coming out, that
they did not offer to fling a few bar
rels onto the last resort? the par
doning power? How could they
desert poor Frank in this last emer
ency? Did they do it? No one be
lieves they did. Your ex-governor
may be as pure as alpine snow, but
the people, God’s nonest people, the
Golden Mediocrity will never get it
out of their heads that he got a bar
rel.
I have heard of many lynchings in
my long life —never engaged in one
—but 1 never heard of one that was
not attributed to the slackness or de
linquency of some official or court
of justice.
I said in the start that rich Jews
furnished the money. Are there any
poor Jews? One of the tribe the
other day who does not seem to have
many barrels of the wherewithal said
to a friend that he was tired of the
Frank assessment, had just paid the
last one and he believed the d
scoundrel was guilty anyhow. So it
seems. the rich ones gave and the
poor ones were assessed.
I am not an advocate of lynch law
but I have no doubt that Leo Frank
got nothing but what he deserved;
the grand jury tha(. indicted him
considered him guilty and turned the
case over to the»court, the jury said
he was guilty. The supreme court
said he was guilty and every tribune
that handled the case, I don’t know
how many, but after it all a little
clmbling-head lawyer who happened
to be governor, came along and pro
nounced him innocent. I think I
know how your people felt. Indig
nation does not express it, and as
the history of this unfortunate case
goes sounding down the ages, the
action of Governor Slaton more than
of the vigilantes will be considered
the cause of the smirch, the dark
spot upon the fair name of Georgia.
The people in this state, Mr. Wat
son, are with you in your fight with
the Jews and the Catholics and hope
your pen, your tongue, or your
shadow may never grow shorter.
TAR HEEL
GETTING READY FOR NATHAN.
Dear Sir: When Nathan Straus
gets ready to run you out of Georgia,
just let him and his Jew army come
on. Let him put the traitor Jack
Slaton in command. Make Slaton
chief commander, when he gets
ready to invade Georgia and he will
see and find out what kind of recep
tion he will receive from the Georgia
boys. Georgia has got enough of
Straus’ rot-gut. Come on with your
army and settle the matter. Put up
or shut up your vilification of Geor
gia and the Jeffersonian.
A few days ago that little member
of the do-nothing legislature from
Sparta. Ga., opened his blow off
valve of vilification on the honorable
committee who carried out the sent
ence of the court by hanging Frank.
This star member from Sparta is
John 1). Walker. He says the com
mittee was assassins and should be
brought to justict.
He ought to organize a Walker
finance committee and hire the
“noble Burns” to come down to
Georgia and help him find the
a §isassins.
Why don’t Walker take out a
search warrant with au automatic
THE JEFFERSONIAN
head light and sift the woods for
the mob?
That “mob” was composed of
true loyal men, full of Southern
patriotic blood. True to womanhood
of Georgia, while such men as
Walker are willing to defame our peo
ple for hanging a criminal lustful
brute who had raped and murdered
an innocent poor girl.
Walker says, “no such crime as
hanging Frank has ever occurred in
a civilized state.”
How. about California when the
vigilance committee hung four men
at one time across one of the pub
lic streets?
Walker says, “a great crime has
been committed against the state.”
An awful crime, ain’t it? Just the
sentence of the court executed.
Raping and murdering poor little
Mary Phagan is not considered any
crime by such noble men as John D.
Walker.
True manhood and Southern blood
will prevail in Georgia.

HE IS 78 YEARS OLD AND FULL
OF FIRE.
Dear Sir: Ever since I gave the
Brunswick Times a little spot about
you, I have sat still and watched
you grow in the estimation, not only
of your own section, and the state of
Georgia, but all America. Tom, lam
an old Confederate Veteran, was
captured twice, was wounded twice,
am drawing a disabled pension, am
78 years old, am an ordained minis
ter in the Missionary Baptist Church
4 8 years ago, October Ist 1915, and
I wish to assure you and your mil
lions of readers that I am sure not
to take the advice of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce. I am so
glad that Georgia has vindicated her
self, and that the cloven feet are
shown so plainly that they cannot be
mistaken. The Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce to the contrary notwith
standing.
I want to shake hands with you
Tom, Hugh Dorsey and Mayor Wood
ward of Atlanta. Georgia has vindi
cated herself in the Frank case. Now
if she will vindicate herself in a few
others she will reinstate herself as
the Empire State of the South, and
show to the world that there is
reality in the religion of the Lord
Jesus Christ, and she intends to
maintain it. May God’s protecting
power uphold you and keep you
strong to combat the devil. The Gos
pel (good news) that you are preach
ing today is converting the world,
and ere long the bottom rail is going
to be on top.
