THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS
WORK OF CHOOSING JURY FOR
Veniremen Searchingly Examined
TRiAL OF FRANK DIFFICULT
Both State and Defense
Slightest Objection Used to Disqual
ify—Attorneys Shrewdly Gauge
Candidates from Every Angle.
SLAIN GIRL AND MAN TRIED FOR LIFE
In the selection of the twelve men
to comprise the jury which will try
Leo M. Frank for the murder of Mary
Phagan, one of the bitterest contests
of the great legal battle which begins
Monday is anticipated.
That counsel for both the defense
and State will probe deep into the
character of each of the men drawn
from the venire of 144 who take the
stand for examination for jury serv
ice in this case is certain. The attor
neys will endeavor to unearth in the
character of the prospective juryman
such traits as they may believe favor
able or unfavorable to their case.
The slightest objection will be used
to disqualify the man from becoming
a member of the deciding tribunal.
Under the cross-examination of such
skilled lawyers as those who will ap
pear in the Phagan case no lota of
information which will tend to sway
the verdict will‘remain concealed to
be carried into the jury box and fight
against the delivery of justice.
Every man of the twelve who will
be chosen will be a p an open book to
the counsel of both sides. Not only
will his mentality be shrewdly gauged
with respect to the evidence to oe
presented, but his past life will be
searched for a flaw in the man's
make-up which mav prove a weak
link in governing his decisions.
Difficulty Expected.
In view of the widespread discus
sion which the lengthy Investigation
of the murder has aroused throughout
Fulton County, great difficulty is ex
pected in securing men of unbiased
minds.
Probably the first question to be
asked each venireman when he takes
the stand, after being sworn, will be:
“Have you formed and expreesel
any opinion in regard to the guilt or
innocence of the prisoner at the bar?”
The negative answer to this ques
tion will but begin the examination
of the prospective juryman. Since
the crime of which the pencil factory
superintendent is accused is punish
able by death, the next question in
importance, especially to the prosecu
tion will be:
“Are you conscientiously opposed to
capital punishment?”
By an affirmative answer to either
of the two questions above, the
venireman undoubtedly will be dis
qualified from jury dtity.
Owing to the vast importance of
the Frank trial, given impetus by its
wide publicity, the great weight
which will necessarily be assumed
with jury service will not be looked
favorably upon by most men, it is
declared, and the ease with which by
one answer this duty can be avoided,
much difficulty is anticipated in se
curing the twelve men.
Each Minutely Examined.
Upon each man, however, who
passes satisfactorily the two chal
lenging questions of opinion and cap
ital punishment, the opposing coun
sel will center their fire of penetrat
ing questions.
Taken from the criminal code of n “®- T
peremptory challenges allowed the

No murder tiral in Fulton County
ever has aporoached the spectacular
interest which is in prospect in the
Frank case from the first, sharp
skirmish between the opposing attor
neys. through the long, bitter legal
battle, and to the final pleas of the
prosecution and the defense.
The presence of Luther Z. Rosser
and Reuben R. Arnold In the brilliant
array of legal talent at once made
certain that the trial would be out of
the ordinary. Neither has the reputa
tion of making a half-hearted fight
when there is anything at stake. This
time U is a man's life that is de
pending upon their legal ability, theR
shrewdness and their eloquence.
Both have a disconcerting habit of
carrying the fight to their oppdrient>.
In ring parlance, they do not give-
their courtroom rival* a chance to
‘get set.” This is going to keep the
spectators constantly / on the edge of
expectation, and will furnish a series
of exciting Incidents that will give the
Frank trial a place by itself in tn^
criminal annals of Georgia.
Crisis When Conley Is Grilled.
To describe Rosser’s tactics as ag
gressive Is expressing it euphemis
tically. If he were only aggressive
his name would not inspire the
trepidath r. tnat now is felt by per
sons who have to face him in the wit
ness box or by young lawyers whj
have to pit their strength against
him
Rosser and Arnold are at their be-t:
when they are cross-examining the
witnesses called by the other side.
This fact i* expected to bring a bo it
the most thrilling sKuation of thi
entire trial in the witness box'grill
ing of the negro Jim Conley. Nut
satisfied with seekin~ to prove .he
entity innocence of their client, the
two lawyers propose to sno.v that
Conley himself is the man who at
tacked Mary Phagan in the National
Pencil Factory and flung h«-i* dead
body upon the trash heap in the base
ment.
From whom are they to get testi
mony of this startling nature?
Certainly from no one els»e than the
negro, and from him they Intend to
get it. It is a bold plan, but one char
acteristic of the two-handed fighting
methods of Rosser. Anyone who has
seen a witness made the object of
Rosser’s attack knows that Jim Con
ley is in for a bad day when he is
called to the stand to testify that Leo
Frank had him asrist in the disposal
of Mary Phagan’s body.
Chance Seen for Confession.
Only a Rosser would have the cour
age of his convictions to expect to
break down tne negro after he re
peatedly had told the remarkable
story of finding the girl's dead body
on the second floor of the pencil fac
tory and carrying her. at Frank’s
direction and with Frank's assistance,
down the elevator into the basement.
Ros.-•or'a plan opens up The dramatic
possibility of a courtroom coniession
from Conley. In the opinion of those
who are convinced of Frank's Inno
cence and the negro's guilt, it would
not be a matter of great surprise If
Conley. und*-r the fire of questions
directed at him by Rosser and Ar
nold. should collapse and confess he
alone wae concerned In the crime.
The cross-examination of Conley is
certain to be one of the spectacular
features of the trial. His vivid tale,
under the lead of questions by Solici
tor Dorsey and Attorney Frank A.
Hooper, will be repeated to the court
room full of spectators. It will lose
none of its dramatic elements, in that
its essential features already are well
known to the public. They are wait,
ing to hear it flr^l hand from the ne
gro's lips.
Raked Up His Past Life.
Then Conley will be turned over to
the scarcely tender rtiercies of counsel
for Frank. He probably will be on
the rack for hours Whether he will
he able to stand the ordeal is prob
lematical. No point in his history
that could have any possible bearing
on the case will be overlooked. The
defense is in posi-*e fusion of a mass of
information relating to Conley’s con
duct for years. He will he asked in
regard to every one of these clrcum-
sta nces.
Before th« events of the day of the
tragedy are reached the negro will
have undergone a searching exami
nation of significant incidents in his
past life. Then his story of his part
In the crime will be attacked. The
dipcrepancies will be brought out in
the glare of the cross-examination.
The ^alsehdods that he told for days
after he was arrested will be resur
rected. All of his affidavits will he
ridiculed. The two attorneys will Join
in an effort to break down and utterly
to discredit the story j.o which he
now sticks Whether or not they are
successful, iheir attempt will be a
dramatic feature of the trial.
A fight, scarcely less spoctacu’a ",
will develop over the story of William
H. Mincey. This time the attorneys
for the prosecution will be in the role
>f scoffers. Mincey hps declared tha*
he heard Conley boasting of killing a
girl.
Mincey, a quiet—almost diffident —
type of the country pedagogue, will
be made the target for the Solicitor's
and Attorney Hooper’s fire of ques
tions They will seek to show that
Mincey never saw Conley the after
noon of April 26, when Mincey assert
ed he had the conversation with the
negro.
Climax When Frank Is Called.
A hot fight also will be precipitated
by the demand of the defense that the
State make known the identity, at
the beginning of the trial, of all the
witnesses against Frank. Solicit >r
Dorsey has said that he will fight any
demand of this sort.
The subpenas duces tecum issued
by the defense will form another
casus belli that is expected to provide
snMted skirmish between the .-t
tornevs at the beginning of the trla
The defense insists on having In
court, for the purpose of comparison,
all of the affidavits taken from Jim
Conley, Newt Lee, Monteen Stover,
W. M. Matthews and others Dorsey
declares this is a flimsy trick to dis
credit the States witnesses, and pro
poses to resist to the extent of hi*
ability any move to compel him to
comply with the demand.
Leo Frank probably will take the
stand in his own defense. It is re
garded as not at all unlikely that At
torney Rosser will turn him over to
the prosecution- and give them the
permission to question him as far as
they like. If this he done, the trial,
already invested with a host of dra
matic possibilities, will reach its cli
max in interest.
As Loo Frank facet" to-day the or
deal decreed by law that for man’s
life, man’s life shall pay, Interest in
his case that has held Atlanta, Geor
gia and the South enthralled for three
months has diminished not a whit
since the Sunday morning the body
»>f the little factory girl was found.
Wise judgrs of news, men who are
paid thousands of dollars each year
for their knowledge of the fickleness
of the public, men w r ho can time to
the second the period when interest
dies in one thing before the public eye
to be born anew’ in another, have for
vears contended that no' single item
of nevys can sustain its Interest longer
than one brief week.
And yet for three months the pub
lic has read of Mary Phagan’s death
and the quest for her Hayer and thei»*
demand for this news has been In
satiable.
That the vaunted insight of these
news experts is as shallow as the
mirror reflection of a beauty of the
stage is the thought that common
logic first presents
The insight of these experts has no f
born at fault. On the contrary, it has
been sustained. For in the mystery
veiling the death of Mary Phagan and
the trial of r>*o Frank as her slayer, a
more varied array of things that in
terest. thrill, horrify, shock and make
men think is presented than in an?
(tne case developed since typesetting
machines made the modern newspaper
possible.
Harry Thaw's ease comes to mind,
that tragedy of romance that present
ed in the same cast of characters the
brilliant Lothario, the man of mil
lions, and a woman as fair as the
dawn. But there was never the ele
ment of mystery in the slaying of
Stanford White. District Attorne)
Jerome described it pretty well as a
commonplace tragedy of the tender
loin.
The only question that confronted
the public was whether there was a
law decreed by God that a man should
take up arms and avenge his family
| honor that should nullify the law
made by man that decreed that th*
; courts of the country and the judg
ment of heaven could alone mete out
i reparation for personal injury.
But in the Phagan case, there is a
mystery so deep, so impenetrable,
tHat there are thousands in Atlanta
! who believe that Mary Phagan’s
slayer walks about to-day a free man
as another battles for his life accused
of his crime.
Victim Only a Child. •
There was mystery in the famous
case of Henry Clay Beattie, the Vir
ginia aristocrat, who met death in the
electric chair for slaving his wife
after his infatuation for Beulah Bin-
ford.
But again, we have a feature of the
Phagan case w’hich was missing in
the Beattie tragedy that makes the
[Atlanta mystery as grippingly pitiful
as* the Virginia problem was sordid.
For In the Phagan case a child is
< ne of the principals. All the world
| may love a lover, but all the world
! loves a child more. And when the
innocent, wistful, appealing face of
the little factory girl first appeared
In the public prints more heart
strings were touched than there were
thrills caused in all the sinister rev
elations of the Virginia trial.
The child interest has made many
a case appeal to the public interest
more than struggles of statesmen,
ravages of nature, or even the love
of man for woman. The entire
United States waited breathlessly for
news of the capture of the kidnapers
of little Billy Whitla, the sturdy
Pennsylvania lad, in 1909.
But when the kidnapers were taken
and Billy Whitla returned safe and
sound and maybe a little happier
from his thrilling experience to the
home of his parents, the public forgot
all about little Billy and to-day, In
four short years, there are few who
remember his case at all. For Billy
Whitla lived. Mary Phagan died.
Lamana Case Was Absorbing.
In 1907 the hearts of every mother
and father in the Southland bled for
the wealthy father and mother of the
little Lamana boy, who was taken
from # their Netfr Orleans home by
members of the Crescent City Mafia.
Interest was intense at every period
of the search and public sentiment
was kindled near to the blazing
point when the beheaded body of the
boy was found in a Louisiana swamp.
But as thrilling as was the Lamana
case, it did not have that quality that
is so essential to make a case uni
versally absorbing. The Lamanas
were foreigners, the kidnapers were
foreigners. And Americans want an
American in their news stories.
And so on and on. Recall any case
of thrilling interest to your mind, an
alyze it, and you will discover that
the Phagan case has features which
that case does not possess and any
one of those features would make a
story of breathless interest in itself.
That is why public interest in the
slaying of the factory girl has not
lagged for one day since the discov
ery of the crime; that is why during
the trial of Leo M. Frank Judge
Roan’s court room will hold the in
terest of every American, be he banker
or beggar, be he black or white; be ho
churchman or sinner.
