Story ol Frank’s Fight For Lile in
the Courts.
Washington, April 1!). — I.po M.
Frank's legal fight for life has taken a
place among the celebrated murder
cases of recent years. Seven times
since this conviction in August, 1913,
the lower and Supreme Courts of the
Statu of Georgia refused to grant
Frank a new trial or to set aside the
verdict. Three times the sentence of
death was passed upon him, and twice
appeals were made to the United States
Supreme Court, the first being unsuc
cessful and the second resulting in the
decision to-day.
Soon after the first trial ended, the
case came in for an agitation which
spread all over the country.
Mary I’hagan was murdered April
2(1, 1913, on a Southern holiday in ob
servance of Confederate Memorial Day.
Shortly afler noon of that day she wus
seen to enter the pencil factory, in At
lanta, where sho had been employed,
and where she went to obtain wages due
her. Her body was found next morn
ing in the basement of the factory, with
a cord tied about the neck.
Loo M. Frank, a young Jew, a col
lege graduate ami married, whose home
had been in Brooklyn, N. Y., was
superintendent, of the pencil factory.
Three days after tho murder Frank
wan arrested on suspicion, and on May
8 Frank and a negro watchman at the
factory, Nowt Luo, were held by the
coroner for the grand jury's action.
Lee subsequently was released. Six
teen days later Jim Conley, a negro
sweeper at the factory, made a con
fession to the police in which he ac
cused Frank of having killed the I’ha-
gan girl, and declared he had hclpod
dispose of the body. Conley, who was
ono of the chief witnesses for the Stale
at Frank's trial, was convicted as an
accessory after the murder in February,
1914, and sentenced to one year's im
prisonment. He began his term last
July.
Frank was placed on trial in tho
Superior Court, July 2.3. 1913, Judge L.
S. Roan presiding. Judge Roan died
March 23, 1915, in New York. A ver
dict of guilty was returned August 2I>,
Frank being sentenced to death. In
his statement to the jury at the close
of the trial Frank said he had seen
Mary Phagan in his otUce in the fac
tory a few minutes before the time the
State contended she was murdered:
that kc paid the girl her wages and
that she left his ollice. The theory of
the defense was that Conley, who was
about the building when the girl in-
tered, and who had been drinking, at
tacked and killed the girl after she left
Frank's office.
In October, 1913, Frank's attorneys
tiled a motion for new trial, alleging
103 errors in the admission of testi
mony and conduct of the trial, and also
charging that demonstrations by the
crowd within and outside the court
room during the trial had interfered
with a fair verdict. Judge Roan de
nied the motion and the Georgia Su
preme Court affirmed his action Feb.
17, 1914. A motion for a rehearing of
the uppeal was denied by the Supreme
Court two weeks later.
An extraordinary motion for a new-
trial and a motion to set aside the ver
dict were tiled simultaneously in the
Supreme Court April 16, 1914. Among
the grounds alleged in the motion for a
new trial was that of newly-discovered
evidence. The motion to set aside the
verdict wus based on the ground that
Frank’s Constitutional rights had been

violated by the trial court. His at
torneys alleged that Frank had not
been given a fair trial because of the
■‘spirit of mob violence that pervaded
the court-room;” and also that his Con
stitutional rights had been violated be
cause Frank and his attorneys had
been absent from the court-room, with
out Frank's consent, when the verdict
was returned. This absence, it was
claimed, was at the request of the
presiding Judge, who was quoted as
saying he feared mob violrtice against
Frank and his lawyers if a verdict of
acquittal were returned.
The extraordinary motion for a new
trial was denied by the .Superior Court
May fi. and the decision was affirmed
by the State Supreme Court Oct. 14.
The Superior Court on June 6, 1914,
dismissed the motion to set aside the
verdict on Constitutional grounds, by
sustaining the State's demurrer to the
motion. The Supreme Court affirmed
this action Nov. 14, 1914, and six days
afterwards the Supreme Court re
fused to certify a writ of error to the
United States Supreme Court.
To review that action, application
was made first to Justice Lamar, then
to Justice Holmes; and finally to the
entire Supreme Court of the United
States, for a writ of error. All held
that the decision of tho Georgia Su
preme Court could not he reviewed, be
cause its action was based on grounds
of procedure, namely: That the plea for
setting aside the verdict should have
been advanced at the time the motions
for new trial were made.
Application was made Dec. 19 to
Judge Newman, of the Federal District
Court for Northern Georgia, for a
writ of habeas corpus, alleging Frank
had been convicted without due process
of law; that the trial court had lost
jurisdiction over him during the trial
because it was "dominated by a mob
hostile to the prisoner,” and that Frank
had been absent from the court-room
when the verdict was returned. Two
days later Judge Newman refused the
writ of habeas corpus, holding that to
grat t it would mean that n Federal
Court should review the action of the
Stute Courts in a manner not warranted
by the laws of tho country, and that,
too, after the Supreme Court of the
United States had decided no Federal
question remained for consideration in
the case. Judge Newman also refused
to issue a certificate of "probable
cause" for appeal to the Supreme
Court, but it was issued by Justice
Unmar Dec. 28, and the case came to
tho Supreme Court for review of Judge
Newman's action, argument being
made last February.
On April 19 tho United States Su
preme Court handed down an opinion
sustaining Judgo Newman’s ruling and
dismissing the case. Frank's lawyers
then tiled a petition with the State Har
den Board asking for a commutation of
tho death sentence to life imprisonment,
which is now pending. If the State Par
don Board reaches a decision before the
third Wednesday in June the petition
for commutation of sentence will come
before Gov. Slaton; if after that date
it will come before Gov. Harris.

Which is the more weighty proof—
a few words from a Newnan resident,
whom we know and respect, or vol
umes from strangers in distant towns?
There can be only one reply.
Mrs. W. H. Sewell, Spence Ave.

hack that 1 could not get up when 1
whs down. 1 was always in misery
and was so sore and lame that 1 could
not do any work. I got up in the morn

before. Headaches nearly drove me
mad and the kidney secretions caused
me much annoyance. I used Doan’s
Kidney Pills, procured from J. F. l.ee

Appomattox Fifty Years After.
New York World.
Appomattox finds the United States
again with a Southern-born President.
The present Chief-Justice of the
United States Supreme Court was a pri- j
vat" soldier in the Confederate army,
and sitting beside him on the bench is
an Associate Justice who was a captain
in t he Union army.
The Secretary of the Navy and the I
Postmaster-General are from States
that seceded an l s 61. The Secretary I
of the Treasury and the Speaker of the !
House of Representatives were born in i
Blave. States. The majority leader of
the House is from the South, and the
man who has just relinquished the
majority leadership to enter the Sen
ate is from a State among the first to
leave the Union.
Never did the wounds of a great
civil war heal so rapidly as, did the
wounds of the American conilict, and
never did such terrible wounds leave so
few scars. Everywhere throughout the
country Robert E. Lee is recognized as
the ideal of soldier-chivalry, without
fear and without reproach. Everywhere
Ulysses S. Grant is regarded as the em
bodiment of democracy in war.
It is possible that Lord Bryce was
right when he said that a higher states
manship might have averted the Civil
War; but the reunited country, that
followed so closely upon this great con
flict, was the supreme expression of the
political wisdom of the American peo
ple. When the South accepted the
result the hand of the North was
stayed. Vast armies were immediately
reabsorbed into the civil life of the
country. The sound political instincts
of the people rejected the radical pro
posals to "make treason odious" by
sending to prison or to the gallows men
who had participated in the rebellion.
Organized bloodshed ended with the
war itself, and the radicalism that pur
posed to follow war with a reign of
terror was cheated of its prey.
Appomattox decided slavery and
secession; but it decided more. It de
cided, in the words of Lincoln, "that
among freedmen there can be no suc
cessful appeal from the ballot to the
bullet.” That is the immortal lesson
of the Civil War. Upon that principle
rests the whole structure of democracy
and free institutions—upon it rests the
Republic.
Who Runs the Paper ?
Dalian Now Era.
In a neighboring county a clergyman
took the editor of the local paper to
task because the editor accepted a cer
tain advertising contract. The good
man forgot that for years the editor
had given freely of his space to help
the church; had printed columns of no
tices of services, meetings, suppers,
entertainments and lectures, all free.
In donating this space the editor had
given more than the equivalent of cash.
He had given publicity, and thus had
done more to support the church and
pay the minister’s salary than any
three members of the church had done.
An editor has but two sources of in
come, his subscription list and his
space. Yet, in this case, when he sold
his space he lost a subscriber. Of
course, no one need subscribe to a pa
per unless he wishes to do so, but no
subscriber should want to dictate to the
editor as to what he should publish.
Many editors will not accept certain
lines of advertising. Other editors can
not afford, perhaps, to be so independ
ent. Business conditions often govern
these matters.
A rich and prosperous Philadelphia
weekly of national circulation for years
declined the advertisements of cigar
ette manufacturers. Business has fall
en off lately for many of tho big maga-
z nes. Now that paper is accepting
cigarette advertising. Perhaps the ed
itor needs the money, and who shall
blame him if he sells his space to the
American Tobacco Co.? Collier’s too,
I we hear, is letting down the bars, just
a little. That’s all right. Let them
down a little further, so long as fakirs
and grafters and swindlers are kept
out. No one can run a paper to please
everyone, be that big or little. It is
tho editor's paper, and it is his living.
He is the one who should judge what
should and should not be published in
its columns.
A Cure for Sour Stomach.
Mrs. Wm. M. Thompson, of Battle
Creek, Mich., writes: “1 have been
troubled with indigestion, sour stomach
and bad breath. After taking two bot
tles of Chamberlain's Tablets I am
well. These tablets are splendid—none
better. For sale by all dealers.
Sufferer—"I have a terrible tooth
ache and want something to cure it."
Friend—"Now, you don't need any
medicine. 1 had a toothache yesterday
and 1 went home and my loving wile
kissed me and so consoled me that the
pain passed away. Why don't you try
the same?"
Sufferer—“I think I will. Is your
wife at home now?"
Resolutions in Memory of Mrs. L. M
Smith.
The entire section about Liberty |
Christian church was shocked by the'
news that Mrs. Susie Smith had died j
suddenly at her home of heart failure
on Sunday morning. March 7. She had
been in failing health for several years,
suffering greatly at times; hut retired ;
the evening before her death in her
usual cheerful spirits, not complaining
of any pain.
In the passing of Mrs. Smith one of
the links is severed that bound a typical
Christian family together. Her devo- i
tion to her husband was unabating ; the J
mutual affection between mother and j
the eight married children was admira
ble; while her lovable disposition won
for her the abiding friendship of all
who knew her. Her whole life was
spent in this vicinity. She was former
ly Miss Susie Brown, daughter of the
late J. R. T. Brown, a faithful Baptist
minister, who was also well-known
throughout this section. She was horn
Aug. 5, 1355, and was married to Dr.
L. M. Smith Nov. 5, 1877, who sur
vives her. She united with the Chris
tian church in her young womanhood,
and remained a devoted worker until
the last. Although a sufferer f< r
years, she was alwavs in her place n
the church when at all possible. Many
persons can testify to her faithfulness
to the church, as well as to the good
impression made upon their hearts and
lives by coming in contact with this
good Christian woman. When the
women of the church gather in their
labors of love her vacant seat will re
mind them of one who was faithful,
earnest and full of the spirit of de
votion, and no doubt her absence wil
cause her memory to be a benediction to
the Christian workers of our church.
Therefore, be it resolved—
1. That the husband has lost a de
voted companion, the children a kind
and affectionate mother, and the church
a devout Christian worker.
2. That we bow in humble submis
sion to the will of the all-wise Father,
who, in His wisdom, saw fit to call her
from us.
3. That a copy of this memorial be
published in The Newnan Herald, and
be furnished also to the bereaved fami
ly. Mrs. T. M. Hyde,
Miss Rubie Jones,
Miss Annie Mae Hyde,
Committee.
Stomach Trouble Cured.
Mrs. H. G. Cleveland, Arnold, Pa.,

stomach and feel bloated after eating.
Nothing benefited me until I got Cham

bottles of them I was cured.” For sale

Monmouth, Ill.:—“I was weak, worn-

was getting so thin and discouraged,
one day I just broke down and cried
when a friend came in and asked me
what was the matter. I told of my
condition and how nothing I took seemed
to do me any good. Vinol was suggested.
I got a bottle and before it was half
gone I could eat and sleep well. I
continued its use and now my friends
say I look ten years younger, and I am
well, healthy and strong. I wish I
could induce every tired-out, worn-out,
nervous woman to take Vinol.”—Mrs.

Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron

build them up and make them strong
that we offer to return their money
if it fails to benefit.
Vinol is a delicious preparation of t
