Mary Phagan by strangulation This
was followed by the request of the
defense that the State’s witnesses be
called, sworn and put under the rule.
The prosecution opened by an
nouncing its readiness to go on with
the trial and called the list of wit
nesses Bailiffs brought them down
from the second floor. In regular or

J. W. Coleman, mother of Mary I’ha-
gan; J. W. Coleman, the girl’s step- I

Agree on Conley Affidavits.
Attorney Reuben Arnold asked
concerning the duces tecum that he
had served on the State’s attorneys
for the affidavits of .Tim Conley and
others. On the promise of Solicitor
Dorsey that he would produce the af
fidavits whenever needed the duces
tecum was waived.
Solicitor Dorsey said he did not
concede the right of the defense to
force a production of the affidavit.
He. however, at the request of Mr.
Arnold, dictated a statement giving
the dates of each of the affidavits
signed by Conley, saying they were
all of the affidavits Conley had made
and that he would produce them
whenever necessary.
Thb Solicitor asked then that the
defense’s witnesses he called and
sworn. This was met by strenuous
objection on the part of Attorneys
Rosser and Arnold, who claimed their
list was fragmentary.
Solicitor Dorsey protested vehe
mently, declaring that it would be ex
tremely unfair to the State not to
swear the defense’s witnesses at this
time. Attorney Rosser said it would
delay the trial to complete their list
at this time.
Judge Roan ruled that he would
give the defense time to get up the
list. The defense capitulated and it
took but five minutes for the list to
be made up.
Witnesses for Defense.
Attorney Stiles Hopkins, at the ta
ble for the defense, called the names
of the witnesses by whom they expect
to clear Frank. They were Mary
Burke. Dora Small. Ella Thomas, C.
P. Gilbert, F. Payne. Eula Flowers.
Josephine Stelker, Mattie Thompson.
Mrs. L. J. Cohen. J. C. Lowe, M. H.
Llebman, Miss B* ssie White. Joe

Marcus, Ed Montag, I. H. Haas, W. B.
Owens, T Y. Brent and Ossie Shields.
These were aJl of the witnesses
whose names were called, but at least
100 more, who will be used mostly as
character witnesses, were in the room
on the second floor waiting
called.
First Talesman Too Old.
After the venire had been sifted and
many excused, W. S. Copeland was
the first talesman examined. He was
excused W'hen he said that he had
DANGEROUS CALOMEL
GOING OUT OF USE
A Safer, More Reliable Remedy
Has Taken Its Place in the
Drug Store and in the
Home.
A few years ago. men. women
and children took calomel for a
sluggish liver and for constipation.
They took risks when they did so.
for calomel is a dangerous drug.
Your family doctor will be the
first to tell this if he discovers you
dosing yourself with calomel.
But the drug trade has found a
safer, more pleasant remedy than
calomel in Dodson’s Liver Tone.
Dealers tell us that their drug
store sells Dodson’s Liver Tone in
practically every case of bilious
ness and liver trouble where calo
mel used to bo taken.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is a vege
table liver tonic that is absolutely
harmless for children and grown
people. It sells for 50 cents a bot-
tie and is guaranteed to be en-
5 tirely satisfactory' by all druggists
who will refund your money with
smile if it does not give quick,
ntle relief without any of calo-
el’s unpleasant after-effects.
passed the 60-year mark. Solicitor
Dorsey put the questions, using the
formal ones ask in murder trials.
Being conscientiously opposed to
capital punishment or conviction by
circumstantial evidence was held not
to disqualify a Juror by Judge Roan.
This was in connection with O. T.
Camp, the second talesman.
“1 am conscientiously opposed to
capital punishment on certain
grounds,” said Camp.
‘‘What are those grounds,” asked
Solicitor Dorsey.
"Circumstantial evidence,” he re
plied.
Judge Sustains Defense.
"That disqualifies him, then,” said
Solicitor Dorsey.
Attorney Rosser objected, saying
that such belief did not disqualify
the Juror. Judge Roan sustained the
defense, hut Solicitor Dorsey struck
him.
A. W. Brewerton was disqualified
because he was opposed to capital
punishment.
W. II Winn was struck, Solicitor
Dorsey taking this action after look
ing over his record.
R. G. Elliott was struck by the de
fense.
L. A. Smith was struck for cause.
C. T. Hopkins, Jr., struck by State.
Not One le Obtained.
W. E. Cates, disqualified because
opposed to capital punishment.
T. G. Young, struck by defense.
D. D. Hewey, struck because he did
not believe in capital punishment.
That ended the first panel of tales
men and not a single juror was ob
tained. The State struck three and
the defense two. Seven were dis
qualified for cause.
Four Jurymen Obtained.
Four jurors were obtained from the
second panel. They are:
A. H. Henslee, No. 74 Oak street, a
salesman.
F. V. L. Smith, No. 481 Cherokee
avenue, a manufacturers agent.
J. F. Higdon, 108 Ormewood ave
nue. a contractor.
F. E. Winburn, No. 21 Lucile ave
nue. a claim agent.
On the second panel the following
men were struck:
Howard Oliver, by the defense.
H. E. Luckey, for cause.
O. L. Spurlin, No. 156 Lawton street,
struck by defense.
H. A. Shide, for cause.
E. E. Hawkins, No. 369 Edge wood
avenue, a negro, who was accented
by the prosecution, but struck by the
defense
L*- F. Davis, for cause.
David Woodward, for cause.
M. J. Sewell, for cause.
Imposing Array of Counsel.
The buzz of conversation tn the lit
tle courtroom instantly was hushed
when Judge Roan appeared and Dep
uty Sheriff Plennie Miner called the
court to order. The impaneling of
Jurors was begun at once.
Luther Z. Rosser, chief of counsel
for Frank, pressed his way to the de
fense's table just as Deputy Miner
rapped for order. Solicitor Dorsey
and his associates were at their table
busily arranging papers and docu
ments several minutes before the
swearing of the veniremen began.
An imposing array of legal talent
was presented when the case was
called. Heading counsel for F'rank
were Rosser and Reuben R. Arnold,
two of the foremost lawyers of the
South. At their table were Herbert
J. Haas, a civil attorney, who has
been engaged in looking up character
witnesses in behalf of Frank; Styles
Hopkins, of the Rosser & Brandon
law firm; Oscar Simmons and Paul
Goss, engaged especially to assist in
picking the jury; George Cox. of Ar
nold & Arnold law firm, and Luther Z,
Rosser, Jr.
Wife at Frank’s Side.
With Solicitor Dorsey were Frank
A Hooper, the brilliant attorney who
made his reputation a* a prosecutor
in criminal cases, E. A. Stephens, As
sistant Solicitor, and detectives who
have been working on the case. Jim
Conley’s attorney, W. M. Smith, alio
was in court.
A stir was created when Mrs.
Frank, wife of the accused, made* her
way into tne courtroom and hurried
past the rows of spectators into the
anteroom where her husband was
confined. She bore herself bravely,
and when she reached Frank, wua
seen to converse cheerfully with him.
The loyal woman, who Insisted *n
being by the side of her husband un
til he was called Into the courtroom
with his attorneys, drew the attention
away from the routine proceedings
several minutes.
Judge Roarv in Good Humor.
Judge Roan appeared in unusually
radiant humor and enlivened the dull
routine of the early proceedings with
facetious remarks directed at the ju
rors who sought to evade duty on va
rious pretexts.
To one who claimed deafness. Judge
Roan said that he had heard his own
name readily enough when it was
called.
Another Juror, Dr. E. L. Connally,
well known capitalist, and gray
haired veteran of the war. remarked,
smiling rather slyly, that he thought
he was over age.
Plea Wins Excuse.
"How do you know that?” Inquired
the judge.
“My mother says I am,” was Dr.
Connally’s reply.
“Do you claim exemption on that
account?” asked the court.
"I guess 1 do, judge,” admitted the
capitalist.
"Well, then, I guess I will excuse
you.” said the Judge, amid a general
laugh from the courtroom.
Dr. Connally left his place with a
vigor that belied his years.
Old Dr. Stork was responsible for
the excusing of several of the jurors.
By the time the eighth panel of men
had taken the oath three men hcu
told of new arrivals at their homes
and hud been excused.
Defense Not to Ask Delay.
Luther Z. Rosser, of counsel for the
defense, stated to a Georgian reporter
as he left his office for the scene of
the trial that he defense would.make
no move for delay.
"We will not seek a change of venue
or make any move of any kind to
delay Justice for our client,'* he said.
“We are entirely confident that jus
tice and truth will prevail, as it al
ways must.”
Reuben R. Arnold, of the defense,
made the same kind of a statement
“We will announce ready as soon as
the case is called." he said.
One important witness for the de
fense was reported to be missing
He is a traveling salesman, and the
curfen&e was lo be confident of
locating him.
Sentell in Navy Now.
Edgar L. Sentell, who testified that
he saw Arthur Mullinax and Mary
Phagan together at midnight of the
day of the crime, has enlisted in the
ravy and will not be able to appear
at the trial.
A great crowd gathered In front oi*
the courthouse is the hour of the
trial drew near, and when 9 o’clock
arrived, Pryor street at Hunter was
almost impassable. The corridors of
the courthouse were a mass of hu
manity, through which a lane had <o
be cut by deputies to allow’ the pas
sage of witnesses and lawyers and
newspaper men.
The crow’d was tense with curiosi
ty, hut to all appearances inclined to
be orderly and apparently was moved
only by the commonest of human na
tives—curiosity.
Frank Feeling Fine, He Says.
, Frank was escorted from the Tow er
to the courthouse shortly after 6
o’clock in the morning, nearly three
hours before the trial was scheduled
to begin. This was done to avoid the
curious crowd which it was expected
would be about the courthouse and
thronging the corridors at 9 o’clock.
Frank was up and dressed and
freshly shaven w’hen Deputy Sheriff
Plennie Miner appeared before his
cell at the early hour.
“How are you feeling this morning.
Mr. Frank?” the deputy inquired.
"Tip top, only I’m mighty hungry,’’
replied Frank.
Exhibiting the ■same poised confi
dence that has characterized him
ihrough three months since he was
locked in a cell in the county jail, the
young factory superintendent chatted
freely with Miner on the way to the
court house.
Sure He Will Be Freed.
He was attired in a natty light gray
mohair suit and wore a fancy grav
tie. His face was fuller and he ap
peared slightly heavier than when he
was arrested shortly after the murder
of the Phagan girl. He seemed cheer
ful and In the best of health.
“I am very sure of acquittal,” he
said, as he arrived at the courthouse.
”1 am glad that the trial is about to
begin after this long wait. I have no
fear of the outcome. I am not only
innocent of the terrible crime, but I
am innocent of any knowledge of it.
save as the information has come to
Within a minute or two after Dep
uty Sheriff Plennie Minor had called
the court to order the examination
process was applied to the venire
panel of 144 men. From each panel
of twelve one or more men w’ere ex
cused after being asked the formal
questions and furnished a sufficient
reason to bar them.
J. H. Jones, Deputy Clerk, called the
names. F. W. Stone, No. 82 East
Linden street, was excused on ac
count of illness. R. F. Shedden was
refused on an excuse of military ex
emption. Only one man was excused
from the first tw r elve men.
H. R. Calloway, of No. 691 Pied
mont avenue, first of the second
panel, was not served. F. A. Hull,
No. 180 Grant street, w’as excused on
account of his age. 20 years. T. J.
Henderson, No. 25 Wdodson street,
was excused as opposed to capital
punishment. J. A. McCreary, No. 78
East North street, was excused be
cause of his residence in DeKalb
County. J. F. Patterson, of College
Park, was excused on account of
deafness. Five were excused from
the second panel.
Negro Declared Eligible.
W. H. Scott, No. 215 Gordon street,
was excused on account of ill health.
He had a doctor’s certificate. W. H.
Abbott, Record Clerk of the court,
was refused excusal. Only one man
was excused from the third panel.
The first surprise came with the
questioning of the fourth panel, when
Earl Davis, a negro, was not excused.
He was ruled eligible to Jury duty.
There is little prospect that he will
be drawn as one of the jurors.
George Mathieson, Assistant Chief
of County Police, was excused on
account of his duties. John W. Alex
ander, capitalist, of No. 439 South
Pryor street, was excused because of
illness. W. M. Donehoo, of Buck-
head. was let out on account of the 1
death of his mother. E. A. Massa,
of No. 305 East Fair street, was over
age. J. H. Gilbert, of South Bend,
was let out because of illness. The
Jury panels were thus being revised
and made into a compact venire by
this process of elimination.
Joel Hurt Out of Town.
The following men were excused in
the selection of the fifth panel:
George R. Wall, No. 139 Hill street,
on account of illness; F. M. York, No.
221 Cooper street, on account of the
illness of his wife; W. I. Brooks, No.
224 East Fair street, on account of
having rerfioved from Fulton Coun
ty. The following were excused in
the selection of the sixth panel: H.
Maness, No. 112 Jefferson street, ac
count of deafness; Joel Hurt was out
of town.
R. R. Gresham, Father of Ten,
Dies Three Hours After Crash.
Thrown Forty Feet.
me since the officers came to my
house that morning three months
ago.”
At this moment E. C. Essenbach, a
relative of Frank, appeared with a
tempting breakfast which was spread
in the prisoners’ room at the court
house. Frank gave ocular proof that
his appetite had not suffered from his
long confinement as he proceeded to
make way with the delicacies pre
pared for him.
Frank greeted his relative cheerful
ly and conversed with him for more
than an hour. The topic seldom was
on the crime or the trial which was
about to begin. Long before the
time set for the Judge to take the
bench other friends and relatives of
the prisoner had appeared and some
of them were permitted to talk to
him.
Conley Ready For the Stand.
Jim Conley, Frank’s accuser, was
made ready for the trial early in the
morning, although it was not prob
able that he would be called during
the day.
He was given a shave and a new
suit of clothes, as he had worn for
the last three months the same shab
by garments that he had on at the
time he was arrested while washing
a shirt at the National Pencil Fac
tory.
Conley said that he was ready to
go on the witness stand at an in
stant’s notice. He declared that he
would stick to the same story thai
he told in his last affidavit and which
he has since repeated many times for
the benefit of Solicitor Dorsey.
"If they had just let me face Mr.
Frank, I could have made him tell
the truth long before this,” he as
serted.
Less than half a hundred persons
were waiting about the courthouse at
8 o’clock, an hour before the time
set for the beginning of the trial. It
was thought that not a large crowd
would be clamoring for admission to
the courtroom as it had become quite
generally known that the smaTl room
would accommodate hardly more than
the witnesses and the veniremen and
that it would be necessary to exclude
practicallv all spectators.
Much Preparation Made.
For no trial in the history of Geor
gia have such elaborate arrangements
been made for the comfort of the
comparatively small number of spec
tators who will gain admission, the
attorneys who will handle the case,
the Jury and the newspaper men.
Deputy Sheriff Plennie Miner has re
ceived much praise for the splendid
preparations made.
Electric fans have been installed at
every window and on the railing sep
arating the spectators’ seats from the
bar, ozonators have been placed to
keep the air purified. It probably will
be the coolest and best ventilated
place in Atlanta.
Not more than 250 spectators will
be admitted. Approximately that
number of chairs have been placed
outside the Inclosure. When they are
filled the doors will be closed and no
one else will be allowed in. No one
will be permitted to occupy standing
room.
The usual custom of permitting
disinterested attorneys to occupy
seats inside the bar will not be fol
lowed. and this particular part of the
courtroom will be less crowded than
during the average criminal trial.
Hov^ They Will Line Up.
Prosecuting Attorney Dorsey and
at least five assistants will occupy a
table directly in front of the bench
and witness stand with the Jury box
close on the righthand side. Attor
ney Rosser with his assistants and
the accused will be seated at a table
to the left of the State's and farther
away from the jury. The table*, for
newspaper men is back of the State's
tnble. The arrangements were agreed
upon by the attorneys and the judge.
The table for the defense was se
lected by Attorney Rosser with a
view to the number of persons who
would wish to be near Frank during
the trial. Seats have been arranged
to the back of the table to accommo
date at least 30 persons, friends and
relatives of the accused, who have
visited him constantly since he was
confined at the Tower.
Deputy Sheriff Plennie Miner, who
will have charge of the crowd and
keeping order in court, will also have
charge of the prisoners. Long before
any crowd congregated around the
courthouse Frank and Lee were
brought from the Tower and placed
in the room reserved for them
When court opened Frank took hi3
place at the table reserved for his at
torneys.
No Room For Spectators Now.
For the first day of the trial, or
until the jury is selected and the
hearing actually under way. it is ex
tremely doubtful if any spectator will
gain admission to the court. Seating
arrangements have only been pro
vided for about 250. The venire of
144 men will have to occupy that
number of the seats when court is
opened. The witnesses for the two
sides will occupy the remaining seats
and standing room until they are dis
posed of in some way, which may not
be until after the jury is drawn.
The court rule to segregate the
witnesses will, of course, be enforced,
but it may not be until twelve men
have qualified as jurors, which will
hardly be before the middle of the
week.
When the witnesses are segregated
they will be kept in the large court
room on the floor above the trial
room. A bailiff w’lll be placed in the
hall and one on the door of the wit
ness chamber, and as the names are
called they will be brought from the
floor above to the court.
It is probable some rule will be
made to keep the witnesses for the
State and the defense separated, in
which event the third floor of the
building would have to be used.
Jury Room Carefully Selected.
But if any great difficulty is antic
ipated in drawing a jury, and the
Judge thinks it impossible to finish
this task during any one day, he will
probably excuse the witnesses until
the next day, and continue to do so
until the Jury is impaneled.
The Jury room was selected with a
great deal of care. It is almost in
accessible from the outside and large
and airy. Its windows are about
twenty feet above an alleyway that
runs on either side. Deputies will be
kept in the alley to keep anyone from
getting this close to the room.
As each Juror qualifies he will be
escorted to the room and kept there
until the full panel is drawn. Recess
will be taken at 1 o’clock In the after
noon and the Jury will be taken to
luncheon at a remaurant almost di
rectly across the street from the
court. At night It will be quartered
at the Kimball House under a heavy
.guard of deputies.
From the time a juror is acceptable
to both sides until the conclusion of
the case he will not be allowed to go
to his home or communicate with
anyone except a fellow juror.
The least of the deputies' troubles
will not be in handling the crowd that
will gain admission to the court, but
in handling the crowd that will daily
congregate on the outside and wait
through the day for news of the pro
ceedings in the trial. Ten deputies
and as many members of the county
police will be on duty on the streets
around the building.
Brewster Denies Aiding
Dorsey in Phagan Case.
Colonel P. H. Brewster has written
The Georgian a letter correcting a
statement in The Sunday American.
The letter quotes the report that Colo
nel Brewster had aided Mr. Dorsey,
and proceeds:
"Where such Information could
have been obtained I can not under
stand, since It Is absolutely false.
"I have had nothing whatever to do
with the Frank case My advice has
not been even sought as to any ques
tion inolved in the case, nor have I
volunteered .it, and I hav.e prepared no
briefs on any phase of the case. Mr
Dorsey, the Solicitor General, is fully
competent to meet every demand his
office imposes on him, and I do not
wish the Impression to be made that
he leans on me or others, nor that 1
am interested in any way in the
prosecution of Mr. Frank.
"The statement made in your Sun
day' issue Is unjust to me, to the pros
ecution and the defense, and there
fore I trust you will at once correct
this statement."
R. R. Gresham, a dairyman residing
in Wyman street, Kirkwood, was
struck by an outbound Kirkwood car
at Whitefoord avenue early Monday
morning and received injuries from
which he died throe hours later with
out regaining consciousness.
Gresham’s skull was fractured, his
throat gashed and his ankle broken.
The accident occurred when the
dairyman, driving his wagon into At
lanta. attempted to cross the car
tracks in front of an approaching car.
The wagon was smashed into splint
ers by the speeding car and its driver
thrown 40 feet into a ditch. The
horse was knocked over on its side
amid the debris of the vehicle.
Gresham was picked up unconscious
and hurried in an ambulance to the
Atlanta Hospital. Physicians who at
tended him held out little hope for his
recovery. He died three hours later.
Mr. Gresham was 52 years old. mar
ried and the father of ten children.
But one member of the family, Her
man Gresham, a son, reached the in
jured man before he died.
Tax Interview With
Anderson Misleading
J. Randolph Anderson, president of
the Senate, in a communication to
The Georgian, states that an interview
in The Sunday American was mis
leading and object to misconstruc
tion, in so far as it related to his po
sition on the proposed temporary
constitutional Increase of the tax rate
and borrowing money to pay the
school-teachers.
The interview seemed to put Mr.
Anderson In the attitude of opposing
these measures, when, as a matter of
fact, he favors them.
He intended to say, and did say,
that both of the **roposed measures,
while all right, were, after all, merely
temporary reliefs—that they pro
posed, in a way, simply to rob Peter
to pay Paul. As the best and short
est way out of the woods, however, he
agrees with the Governor that they
are necessary.
TRIES TO SHOOT
HIS WIFE; HILLS
Reward Offered for Clem Poole,
Slayer of Dalton Policeman.
Posse Loses Trail.
DALTON, July 28.—At an early
hour this morning the posse organized
to hunt down Clem Poole, who near
midnight shot and killed Policeman
Harry Cook while the officer was at
tempting to arrest him, disbanded,
the search being fruitless.
Poole last night shot twice at his
wife as he followed her to the home
of her parents on First avenue. There
Policeman Cook met him. As the
officer advanced, Poole fired, the bul
let piercing the policeman’s heart and
bringing instant death. Henry Mitch
ell, accompanying the officer, grabbed
the weapon from ”Poole, but he es
caped. Bloodhounds trailed the fugi
tive for a time and then lost the
scent.
The murder has greatly aroused
Dalton, for Policeman Cook was a
popular member of the force. He is
survived by his wife. A reward of
$100 has been offered by the city for
Poole’s capture.
