The I,on Frank case is nnw in its last. |
ptagi'a, and rat’h flsv Hint passes hrings
the murderer of lill.le Mary 1'liagan on**
step nearer tho gallows. Nothwith-
standine Deteetive Burns' oft-reitera
ted assertion (hat ilia client, (ho con
demned .low. ia innocent, and despite
hia ctnmav otTnrta to faaten the crime
on Jim Conley, the negro notwith
standing the bluster and blare of
Frank's lawyers in trying to build a
grnumlwork of devious technicalities
and still more dubious affidavits upon
which to Imsn their much-vaunted ex
traordinary motion for a new trial
notwithstanding Frank’s frantic and
perferviil protestations of innocence ap
pearing from day to day in the Atlanta
papers- -notwithstanding all the gyra
tions and maneuvering* and manipula
tions of Frank's lawyers ami hired de
tectives, Judge lien Hill announced on
Wednesday last, that the evidence sub
mitted in support of the motion was in
sufficient to warrant, the granting of a
new trial, and this opinion was made
the order of th«* court.
Judge Hill's commendable action in
refusing Frank a new trial upon the
flimsy showing made brings us to the
consideration of another feature of this
remarkable ease. We refer to the able
and intrepid fight, made by Solicitor-
General Hugh Horsey to fix responsi
bility for the death of little Mary I'ha-
gan upon I,on Frank, and, so far as hu
man evidence and incriminating circum
stances can Herve that end, he lias come
off victorious doubly victorious, in
fact, because his Arm conviction as to
Frank’s guilt has been justified and
sustained by every development of this
many-sided ami complicated case, and
because be has whipped Frank’s law
yers to a standstill at every turn. No
one who knows Hugh Dorsey would ar
ouse him of .lew-baiting in order to
achieve a professional triumph. From
the outset be has never wavered in the
conviction that Frank is guilty, and he
put his whole heart and soul and his
splendid abilities into the fight to
avenge the little factory girl's death
and to bring the murderer to justice.
If Frank escapes the gallows it will lie
due to tlie procrastination and dillydal
lying of the higher courts, to which ap
peal will lie made as the last resort of
his fatly-feed lawyers in an effort to
save hia neck.
Incidentally, this brings us to anoth
er point that interests us just now.
Inspired by genuine admiration for tin 1
man. for his abilities and for his su
perb fighting qualities, The Herald and
Advertiser stated some weeks ago that
if Hugh Dorsey hail ever cherished an
ambition to ait in tho Governor’s chair
thist was his opportunity, and that we
believed lie could be elected. Wo are
still of that belief, and would welcome
him into the field ns a candidate for
that office. Unless we mistake the
temper of the people and we seldom
do be could be elected overwhelming
ly.

May Drive Burns Agencies From
State.
Atlanta Car. Miicon Telegraph.
Atlanta, Ga., May J — As a result
of the part the Burns agency lias been
playing in the Frank cuse, it is said
that a well defined movement is under
way In drive every Burns agency out
of the Statia This movement is likely
to start here, and A. K. King, one of
the police commissioners, says he has
canvassed the board and that a ma
jority favors rescinding Burns’ license
here.
It is said that similar action is under
way in every city in the State where
there is a Burns agency.
When Burns started on the Frank
case tie announced to tho newspapers
that “tlie trail was clear, and that he
would absolutely solve the mystery in
a very short, time.” He expressed sur-
tirise that the job had been so badly
bungled here, and in practically daily
interviews he gave the world to under
stand that he was tightening the noose
around the neck of the real murderer
mighty fust; that he would be able
shortly to convince all the world that
his solution was the correct one.
Day in and day out such stutf filled
the local papers. People at. first waited
eagerly fur the ‘‘report” which was to
clear up the mystery, This gradually
turned to skepticism, and tlie daily in
terviews in gan making people smile
Finally, one day he sprung the flat-
footed statement that Frank was inno
cent and Jim Conley was guilty. Every
one waited for the “report” which
would cinch that statement into a cer
tainly. There has been no report, and
will not he apparently, other than the
simple expression of Burns’ opinion that
Frank is innocent, and Conley is guilty.
This statement, and liis reiterated
opinion, fell like a wet blanket. People
began to say that he had discharged his
duty to his clients or at least had tried
to do so by trying to fix the crime on
the negro.
It. is a literal statement of fact that
up to the time Burns entered the case
Leo Frank was gaining sympathy by
his dean-out statements in the papers
pleas for fair piny. But what ground
hi gained then recent events have
more than lost, for him. Every fair-
minded man in tho country says no
case has ever been worse bungled up,
from start to finish.
Solicitor Dorsey made Mr. Burns ad
mit on the stand that lie had no new
evidence in the case - that he had noth
ing against Conley save iiis own opinion
that Conley is a pervert.
Whatever standing or influence
Burns had in this section has. to say
the least of it, been seriously damaged
in this case.
Letters and Telegrams Pour in On
Hugh Dorsey.
Atlanta Conntitutlon, Cth inat.
“What is Hugh Dorsey going to do?”
This is the question one hears in the
lobbies of the hotels and wherever poli
ticians gather to swap yarns or make
predictions regarding the politics of
the State. You hear the question on
all sides, but you do not get any defi
nite answer. You can hear all kinds of
conjectures, hut no one seems to speak
witii anything like authority for Mr.
Dorsey.
As the days pass Mr. Dorsey’s mail
is steadily increasing. Not a day but
that lie receives letters and telegrams
urging hi in to enter the race for (iov-
ernor, or to oppose Hoke Smith for the
Senate.
The Dorsey boom materialized some
weeks ago, and it has gained ground
in the most surprising fashion, until it
is to-day something to be reckoned
with. The present candidates for Gov
ernor fuily realize this fact. In their
trips to various parts of the State they
hove heard of it; they have read of it
in the country papers, and they would
like to know just what. Mr. Dorsey in
tends doing.
Some days ago a reporter for The
Constitution called on Mr. Dorsey and
asked him if he was going to seek
other political honors. He only smiled
and said;
“Well. 1 know nothing ahout it. It
is true that 1 am getting many letters
and telegrams urging me to run, but
1 am too busy to think of such matters
at present. 1 am extremely grateful
to mv friends, but 1 cannot commit
myself at this time."
In South Georgia, where Mr. Dorsey
has many friends, his name is being
mentioned almost as often as here in
Atlanta.
Hon. J. Render Terrell for Governor.
Meriwether Vindicator.
Hon. J. Render Terrell is being urged
to make the race for Governor. Letters
are pouring in from all sections of Geor
gia asking him to get in the contest for
this high office. Mr. Terrell is serious
ly considering the matter, and if the
importuning of thousands of friends
can prevail, he will make the race.
Render Terrell is a man of magnifi
cent ability. He is a gentleman of
wonderful personality and magnetism.
He is one of the best stump speakers in
Georgia, and his silver tongue would
hold the voters enthralled. Above all,
Render Terrell has a heart as white as
snow, and double dealing and deceit do
not enter into his make-up. He has a
splendid poise, and amid times of ex
citement and disorder is calm and un
perturbed
Render Terrell is the man of the hour.
He is the man for Governor.
He would make an ideal Chief Exec
utive.
His ability, stability, experience, high
sense of honor, justice Hnd right, and
his utter fearlessness and strength of
character, make him pre eminently the
man to till the Governorship.
Meriwether, the mother of statesmen,
presents her brilliant son to Georgia as
a candidate for Governor.
Card of Thanks.
We wish to thank our friends and
neighbors for the kindnesses shown us
during the illness and upon the death
of our daughter and sister, Lillian.
May God’s richest blessings vest upon
each and every one. is our most earnest
prayer. W. M. Bagwell and Family
Hugh Dorsey for Governor.
Atlanta, Ga., May 2.—There is quite
a strong probability of Hugh Dorsey,
Solicitor-General of Fulton county, en
tering the race for Governor.
That he is getting loads of letters
from all parts of Georgia urging him to
rlo so, is a fact. It is astonishing what
a hold the brilliant young solicitor has
secured upon the people of this State
through his conduct of the Frank case.
Mr. Dorsey has made a State-wide rep
utation in the case, and the manner in
which he has stood steadfast while the
storm heat about him. While scorn, vi
tuperation and jeers have been hurled
at him by the ferocious Rosser and the
caustic Arnold, he has gone serenely
on hiB way and beat them at every
point so far.
And Georgia, up and down and across,
in city, town and country, know and
admire him. His candidacy would be
yond question gather a strong force,
and make of him a formidable candi
date for the Governorship.
At this time he is saying nothing on
the subject, hut is working hard and
patiently in the case that has brought
him so much fame.

Impurities lodge so deeply in the tissues
