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. NOMINEES EOR COUNTY OFFI CES ANNOUNCED. The County Democratic Executive Committee met Monday at noon for the purpose of canvassing the returns and declaring the result of tho primary election on Saturday last for tin 1 nomi nation of county officers. The returns from each of the twenty-one precincts were found to lie in proper form, and a tabulation of the vote cast in the en tire county showed that the following candidates had been chosen for the various offices to be filled: Clerk, Lynch Turner, majority -UiO; Sheriff, .1. It. Brewster, majority SHU); Tax Receiver, Haul Smith, plurality ltifi; Tax Collec tor, B. .1. Fry, majority, LAOS; Treas urer, Dr. J. M. Stallings, plurality H54; Surveyor, A. 11.

Warren, major ity 120. The candidates designated were therefore declared to be the Dem ocratic nominees for the several offices named. The returns likewise showed the elec tion of i tie following executive commit teemen for tho various districts, viz: First district 11. G. Hutchinson. Second district .1. A. Camp. Thiid district—S. R. Sims. Fourth district—J. A. Davis. Fifth district—-Jas. E. Brown. Sixth district—J. It. Brown. Seventh district-It. N. Winkles. Cedar Creek district—J. I). Starr. Panther Creek district J. A.

The following resolution, introduced by Mr. W. T. Gentry, committeeman for the Third district, was unanimously adopted by the committee— “Resolved, That the Democratic Ex ecutive Committee of Coweta county strongly indorses the county unit plan for the nomination of U. S. Senators, Governor and State House officers, and opposes any change in the rules adopted by the State Executive Committe for the governance of the State primary election on Aug. 1ft, Hill ” 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. LONE OAK.
