IKW UY HUSBAND
IS iOCENi: ASSEBTS
WE OF LEOB. FRANK
Following the complete denial by Minola McKnight,
cook in the household of Leo M. Frank, of the statements she is
alleged to have made in the sensational police affidavit given out
Wednesday, Mrs. Leo M. Frank Thursday made her first pub
lic statement on the Mary Phagan mystery.
Mrs. Frank makes an eloquently pathetic defense of her hus
band and attacks Solicitor General Dorsey’s methods in the se
curing of evidence, charging torture and a deliberate determina
tion to distort facts. Mrs. Frank denies absolutely that her hus
band in any way demeaned himself so as to indicate he had been
involved in a tragedy on the day Mary Phagan was slain or any
other day. Here is Mrs. Frank's complete statement:
• Atlanta. Ga.. June 5, 1913.
Editor The Georgian—Sir: The action of the Solicitor General in
’’ In arresting and imprisoning our family cook because she would not vol
untarily make a false statement against my innocent husband brings a
limit to patience. This wrong is not chargeable to a detective acting
under the necessity of shielding his own reputation against attacks in
newspapers, but of an intelligent, trained lawyer, whose sworn duty is as
much to protect the innocent as to punish the guilty. My information
<ls that this Solicitor has admitted that no crime Is charged against
. this cook and that he had no legal right to have her arrested an« im
prisoned.
The following statement from The Atlanta Journal undertakes to
give the history of the arrest up to the time the woman was car
ried to the police station in the patrol wagon, weeping and shouting in
a hysterical condition:
• The negress was arrested at She Selig residence shortly after
noon Monday upon the order of Solicitor General Hugh M Dor-
sey.
She was carried to the Solicitor's office and that official with
Detectives Campbell and Starnes examined her for more than an
hour The woman grew hysterical during the vigorous exam
ination. and finally was led from the Solicitor s office to the po
lice patrol, weeping and shouting: "I am going to hang and I
don't knqw a thing about it.”
They tortured her for four hours with the well-known third degree
process, in the manner and with the result stated in The Atlanta Consti
tution of June 4, as follows:
Her husband, who was also carried to the police station at
noon, was freed a short while before his wife left the prison. He
was present during the third degree of four hours under which
she was placed in the afternoon.
After she had been quizzed to a point of exhaustion. Secretary
G C Febuary. attached to Chief Lanford's office, was summoned
to note her statement in full.
It was the longest statement made by the woman since her
connection with the mystery It will be used, probably, in the
trial.
Attacks Solicitor Dorsey.
That the Solicitor, sworn to maintain the law. should thus falsely ar
rest one against whom he has no charge and whom he does not even sus
pect and torture her contrary to the laws, to force her to give evidence
tending to swear away the life of an Innocent man. is beyond belief.
Where will this end? My husband and my family and myself are the
innocent sufferers now. but who will be the next to suffer? I suppose the
witnesses tortured will be confined to the class who are not able to em
’ ploy lawyers to relieve them from the torture in time to prevent their be
ing forced to give false affidavits, but the lives sworn away may come
from any class.
It will be noted that the plan is to apply the torture until the desired
affidavit is wrung from the sufferer. Then It ends, but not before
It is to be hoped that no person can be convicted of murder in any
civilized country on evidence wrung from witnesses by torture Why.
tnen. does the Solicitor continue to apply the third degre4 to produce tes
timony? How does he hope to get the jury to believe it? He can have
only one hope, and that Is to keep the jury from knowing the methode to
which he has resorted. Os course if he can torture witnesses into giving
th* kind of evidence he wants against my innocent husband in this case,
he can torture them into giving evidence against any other man in the
\ community in either this or any other case. I can see only one hope And
that is, to let the publiq know exactly what this officer of the law is doing,
and trurt. as I do trust, to the sense of fairness and justice of the people.
Says Signing Is Not Surprising.
It is not surprising that my cook should sign an affidavit to relieve
herself frotp torture that had been applied to her for four hours, according
to The Atlanta Constitution, "to a point of exhaustion " It would be sur
prising if she would not. under such circumstances, give an affidavit.
This torturing process can be used to produce testimony to be pub
lished in tne newspapers to prejudice the case of anyone the Solicitor
sees fit to accuse. It is also valuable to prevent anyone stating facts
favorable to the accused, because as socAi as the Solicitor finds it out he
can arrest the witness and apply the torture. It is hard to believe that
practices of this nature will be countenanced anywhere In the world out
side of Russia.
My husband was at home for ’unch and in the evening at the hours
he has stated on the dav of the murder He spent the whole of Satur- ,
day evening and night tn my company Neither on Saturday nor Satur
day night, nor bn Sunday, nor at any other time, did mi husband, by
word or act, or in any other way. demean himself otherwise than as an
Innocent man He did nothing unusual and nothing to arouse the slight
est suspicion I know him to be innocent. There is no evrienee against
him except that which is produced by torture. Os course, evidence of
this kind can be produced against any human being in the world.
I have been compelled to endure without fault, either on the part of

CONFESSION
REPORTED
TO JURY
Probers Question Colyar and
Febuary About Alleged Ad
missions by Negro.
Chief Lanford, in discussing the
near-fight between himself and
Attorney Felder in Solicitor Dor
sey’s office Thursday morning,
characterized his opponent as all
bluff.
“Felder is a coward and void
of all truth," declared Chief Lan
ford. “If I had been loft with
him alone for one minute I would
have showed the rascal up. I
wouldn't have cared if he had a
dozen pistols. Felder hasn’t the
nerve to pull the trigger any
way.
“I would have taken a thirty
day suspension just to have given
Felder what he deserves. Felder
knows that I meant to do It, too.
and ho did not rise out of his
chair to face me until he saw that
there were plenty of men about to
prevent a conflict."
It became known this afternoon
that the Grand Jury Thursday had
Investigated a sensational story that
A 8. Colyar, the dictograph man.
had been trying to dispose of what
purported to be a confession from
James Conley, negro sweeper, that
he had killed Mary Phagan in the
National Pencil factory.
The Grand Jury was told that such
a document had been displayed to
various persons and that Colyar had
offered it to W C. Tobie. the Burns
man who worked on the ease some
time.
Colyar was summoned before th®
jury. G C. Febuary secretary to
Chief Lanford. was also summoned
because the Grand Jury had heard
that he took down the alleged con
fession. Both Colyar and Febuary
denied the existence of such an af
fidavit. Febuary. questioned very
closely, said that every affidavit made
by Conley and taken down by him
had been made public and that in
none of them did Conley confess to
the killing.

' Council Asks For
Voted of People
’On Bond Issue
Two resolutions touching the is
suance of bonds—one of which grew
out of the prematory decision inter
dicting the city of Atlanta from pur
chasing on credit, the other arising
from a desire to make all bond issues
easier from a legal standpoint—were
passed unanimously by the General
Council of Atlanta late this afternoon.
The first resolution came from the
Finance Committee. upon whose
shoulders was placed the task of pro
viding |260.0n0 to purchase the cre
matory. It provided that the Mayor
Pro Tern appoint a committee to in
vestigate the question of Issuing
bonds for schools, water, sewers and
I street and hospital improvements
The other resolution. Introduced by
Judge John S Candler. Aiderman. re
quested Atlanta's Representatives tn
the Legislature to submit a proposal
to the vote of the people permitting
municipalities to issue bonds upon a
two-thfrds vote of the voters in the
bond election.
Both resolutions were passed with
out a dissenting voice, and without
debate.
