THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. CHOOSING OF JURY WILL BRING ON A BITTER FIGHT FRANK TAKEN EARLY TO ‘IFEELFINE.'HEDECL I! Wife Swallows TOO SLAIN GIRL AND MAN TRIED FOR LIFE [ '^"“0/Bichloride Two pictures of Mary Phagan and Leo Frank, on trial as slayer of factory girl. Continued From Pago 1. ST. LOUIS, July 28.—Physicians to-day said there was no chance of recovery for Mrs. Carrie Dubois, 21. who swallowed 100 grains of bichlo ride of mercury. She attempted suicide because her husband refused to allow’ her to ac company him on a picnic trip, which was a stag affair. THREE ANNIVERSARIES IN DAY. NEW YORK. July 28.—Mr. and Mrs. Judah B. Voorhees, aged 85 and 74, respectively, celebrated a triple anniversary on the same day. It w r as the birthday of both and anniversary of their wedding. 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 How Thoy Will Lino 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 rlghthand 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 a way from the Jury. The table for newspaper men Is back of the State’s table. 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, w’ho have visited him constantly since he was confined at the Tower. Deputy Sheriff Plennle Miner, who will have charge of the crow’d and keeping order In court, will also have charge of the prisoners. Long before any crowd congregated around the courthouse Frank and Lee wer» brought from the Tower and placed in the room reserved for them When court opened Frank took his 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 *eats when court Is opened The witnesses for the two aides 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 he before the middle of the w’eck. When the witnesses are segregated they will be kept in the large court room on the floor above the trial room. A bailiff will 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 tfie 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 n re?taurant 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 w’alt through the day for news of the pro ceedings In the trial. Ton deputies and as many members of the county police will be on duty on the streets around the building. Trial to Surpass in Interest Any in Fulton County History No murder tlral in Fulton County ever has approached 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 it is a man’s life that is de pending upon their legal ability, their shrewdness and their eloquence. Both have a disconcerting habit of carrying the fight to their opponent*. 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 trepidation that 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. Roseer and Arnold are at their be.*: when they are cross-examining the witnesses called by the other side. This fact is expected to bring about the most thrilling situation of the entire trial in the witness box grill ing of the negro Jim Conley. Nut satisfied with seeklne to prove the entire innocence of their client, the two lawyers propose to show that Conley himself is the man who at tacked Mary Phagan in the National Pencil Factory and flung her 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 else 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 seer, a witness made the object of ^Rosser’s attack knows that Jim Con- is in for a bad day when he is WiUifcd to testify that Leo * Frank had him assist 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. Roarer's. plan opens up the dramatic possibility of a courtroom confession 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, under the fire of questions directed at him by Rosser and Ar nold, should collapse and confess he alone was concerned in the crime The cross-examination of Conley »s certain to be one of the spectacular features of the trial. His vivid talo, under the lead of questions by Solici tor Dorsey and Attorney ^ank 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?t hand frem the ne gro's lips Raked Up His Past Life. Then Conley will be turned over to the scarcely tender mercies of counsel for Frank. He probably will be on the rack for hours. Whether he will be 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 possession of a mass of information relating to Conley’s con duct for years. H# will be asked in regard to every one of these circum stances. Before the 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 discrepancies will be brought out in th' glare of the cross-examination. The falsehoods that he told for days after he was arrested will be resur rected. All of his affidavits will be ridiculed. The two attorneys will Join in an effort to break down and utterly to discredit the story to which he now gUciu. .Whether or not they are Work of Choosing Jurymen Is Likely To Be Difficult successful, their Attempt will he a dramatic feature of the trial. A fight, scarcely less spectacular will develop over the story of William H. Mincey. This time the attorneva for the prosecution will be in the role of scoffers. Mincey has 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 th.it 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, ofr all the witnesses against Frank. Solicitor 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 a spirited skirmish between the at torneys at the beginning of the trlaL The defenso 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, arid 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 be done, the trial, already invested with a host of dra matic possibilities, will reach its cli max in interest. Phagan Case of Peculiar And Enthralling Interest As Leo Frank faces 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 of the little factory girl was found. Wise judges of news, men w ho are paid thousands of dollars- each year for their knowledge of the fickleness of the public, men who 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 news 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 slayer and their 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. Ihe in sight uL experts has not been at fault. On the contrary, it has been sustained. For in the mystery veiling the death of Mary Phagan and the trial of Leo Frank as her slayer, a more varied array of things that in terest. thrill, horrify, shock and make men think is presented than in any one ease developed since typesetting machines made the modern newspaper possible. Harry Thaw's case 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 Attorney 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 the court* of the country and the Judg ment of heaven could alone mete out 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 w’as mystery in the famous case of Henry Clay Beattie, the Vir ginia aristocrat, w’ho met death in the electric chair for slaying his wife after his infatuation for Beulah Bin- ford. But again, we hav e a feature of the Phagan case which 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 one of the principals. All the world may love a lover, but all th e world loves a child more. And when the innocent, w’istful, appealing face of the little factory girl first appeared in the public prints more heart strings w’ere touched than there w’ere 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 3909. 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, w’ho was taken from their New 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. i . 111. 74'11.77 ! 11. 74111.77111.74-76 . . |U. 44111.46H. 44111 .46,11.51-52 . 111. 19111.19111.19'11.19 : 11.29-31 .111.13 11.13 11.12 11.1211.18-20 .1 ! 1 !

Atlanta Floral Company, fes mJKST FAIR STREET. 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 iota of Information which will tend to sway the verdict will remafn concealed to be carried Into the Jury’ box and fight against the delivery of justice. Every man of the twelve w’ho will be chosen will be a c an open book to the counsel of both sides. Not only will his mentality be shrewdly gauged with respect to the evidence to be presented, but his past life will be searched for a flaw in the man s make-up which ma*’ prove a weak link in governing his decisions. Difficulty Exoected. 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 expreasel any opinion in regard to the guilt cr 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 duty. 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 w'hich 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 w’ill center their fire of penetrat ing questions. Taken from the criminal code of Georgia, the following questions and provisions will govern the question ing in the witness chair of the pros pective juryman: “Have you, from having seen the crime committed, or having heard any of the testimony delivered on oath, formed and expressed any opinion in regard to the guilt or Innocence of the prisoner at the bar?"* “Have you any prejudice or bias resting on your mind either for or against the prisoner at the bar?” "Is your mind perfectly impartial between the State and the accused?" If he shall answer these questions satisfactorily, he shall be adjudged and held a competent Juror in all cases where the offense does not In volve the life of the accused, but when it does, the following additional ques. tion shall be put to him: ‘‘Are you conscientiously opposed to capital punishment?” Judge's Word Final. If he shall answer this question in the negative, he shall be held a com petent Juror, provided, nevertheless, that either the State or the defendant shall have the right to Introduce evi dence before the judg'e to show that the answers, or any of them, are un true; and it shall be the duty of the judge to determine upon the truth of such answers as may be thus ques tioned before the court. If a juror shall answ er any of these questions so as to render him incom petent. or he shall be so found by the judge, he shall be set aside for cause. The State or the accused may make either of the following objections: That he is not a citizen, resident cf the. county. That he is over 60 or under 21 years of age. That he is an idiot or lunatic, or intoxicated. That he is so near of kindred to the prosecutor, or the accused, or the de ceased. as to disqualify him by law from serving on the jury. 20 Challenges for the Defense. Every person indicted for a crime or offense whi~h may subject him to death, or four years’ imprisonment, may peremptorily challenge twenty of the jurors impaneled to try him. The State shall be allowed one-half the peremptory challenges allowed the prisoner. Hers is the complete jury list: C. A. Virgin, B R. J M Defocre. E- P k Bud Waits, C. P. W. W. Sorrell** Hapevilla.
