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 w’ith 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 be taken.
Dodson’s Liver Tone Is a vege
table liver tonic that is absolutely
harmless for children and grown
people. It sells for BO cents a bot
tle and Is guaranteed to be en
tirely satisfactory by all druggists
who will refund your money with
a smile if it does not give quick,
gentle relief without any of calo
mel’s unpleasant after-effects.
-a
time did he do it slower or quicker
than before?—A. He sort of fum
bled it.
Q Do you know’ how’ to fix a time
slip?—A. No. I never fixed one in my
Tells of Seeing Gantt.

—A. Yes, 1 saw him down at the door
a little after 6 o’clock. He said he
w r anted to get some old clothes.

Mr. Gantt went In. Mr. Frank came
busting out and run into Mr. Gantt.
He looked like he was surprised and
Jumped back.
Q. What did they say to each other?
—A. Mr. Gantt said he wanted to get
his shoes. Mr. Frank said he thought
the boy had thrown them into the
trash basket. Mr. Gantt asked what
color they were. Mr. Frank said they
were tan. Mr. Gantt said his were
black.
Q. What did Mr. Frank do then”—
A. He dropped hin head and said for
me to go up with Mr. Gantt to get
the shoe*.

staff artist. By this diagram Lee ex
plained the lighting system of the
building.
Veniremen Keenly Watched.

the lights on the street floor burning
bright so that officers could see in.

When he came, I told him it was
mighty hard to be handcuffed to

anything about. He said: “What’s the
difference.” “Well,” I s aid, “Mr.

Q. Mr. Frank thought you went

When Lee did not answer, Solicitor
Dorsey interrupted, saying that he did
not want the negro committed by si
lence.
Lawyers in Clash.
“We want silence some times," said
Mr. Rosser; "sometimes its more
powerful. I am asking these ques
tions and silence is one of my priv
ileges. For the prosecution to in
terrupt is deliberately obstructing the
testimony without intending to.”
"I will make him answer,” said So
licitor Dorsey, "when I get him.”
"Yes,” said Mr. Rosser, ”1 know' you
will. Probably you can get him to
answer better than I can.”
"I want the truth," rejoined Solic
itor Dorsey.
"Yes, wr all do In our partisan way.’
replied Rosser.
All th* force of attorneys at the
table for the defense watched with
keen eyes every man examined
for the jury, and frequently re
ferred to a voluminous record
containing the names of all the
veniremen and detailed statements of
their history and associations so far
as these might have a bearing on their
desirability as jurors to pass on Leo
Frank’s guilt or Innocence.
The keenest interest was manifest
ed by those in the crowded little
courtroom as the strategies of the
brilliant lawyers were revealed dur
ing the examination.
State Had Veniremen’s Records.
The thoroughness with which the
Solicitor and his assistants had can
vassed the history of every venire
man and had investigated whether
or not he had ever expressed an opin
ion on the guilt or innocence of the
accused was demonstrated when W.
W. Hemmett, a salesman for the
Kingsbury Shoe Company, was being
examined as to his qualifications.
“Have you ever said you thought
Frank was guilty?” Mr. Dorsey in
quired.
*\o, I never have." replied Hem
mett.
Here the Solicitor referred to some
notes at hand and proceeded to call
to Heinmett’s recollection a certain
talk he had with acquaintances at a
certain time. Hemmett was forced
to admit that he had talked of the
case at that time, but declared that
he had not expressed a definite opin
ion.
"1 only said I would have to hear
some evidence before I would believe
Frank was guilty,” he told Judge
Rcan.
He was rejected for cause.
Defense Equally Alert.
The defense showed ti»at it was ex
actly as vigilant when the next ve
nireman w’as examined. As soon as
A. L. Bellingrath. of No. 91 Mllledge
avenue, arose from his seat. Attor
ney Arnold was on his feet prepared
to state the objection of the defense
He pointed out that Bellingrath w’as
the brother of Henry Bellingrath who
has been employed in the Solicitor’s
office during the Phagan investiga
tion and that he was reported to have
expressed an opinion on the guilt of
Frank.
A shrewd bit of strategy was used
by Solicitor Dorsey and Attorney
Hooper In accepting the two negroes
whose names were among the venire
men.
By doing this they forced the de
fense to use up two of their twenty
challenges if they did not desire to
have negroes on the jury. With Jim
Conley, a negro, likely to be Indicted
for the murder in the event that
Frank is cleared, the defense had no
intention of allowing them to pass
on Frank's guilt and promptly struck
them. The two negroes were Earl
Davis and E. E. Hawkins.
May Summon Reporters.
When court opened for the after
noon session, Attorney Arnold an
nounced:
“We may want to use some of the
members of the press as witnesses, i
don’t w’ant to put them under the
court rule which would exclude them
from the courtroom.”
Solicitor Dorsey hereupon arose and
said:
“All right, but I want to reserve
the right to do so at a later date If
necessary.”
Defense Loses First Clash.
The attorneys for Leo M. Frank lost
out in *heir first skirmish with the
prosecution, being compelled to read
their list of witnesses against their
wishes and their vigorous protests.
They evened up matters by obtain
ing from Solicitor Dorsey the conces
sion of honoring the subpenas lecus
tecum issued by the defense and de
manding the production in court of a.
the affidavits of Jim Conley. After a
short passage between Attorney Ar
nold for Frank- and Solicitor Dorsey
that the list must be read, the Judge
ruled, and the list was read by At
torney Stiles Hopkins.
The list Included employees of the
National Pencil Factory, wffiere the
murdered girl worked; members of
Frank’s Immediate family, and other
relatives and associates of the accused
man, members of the same fraternal
orders, acquaintances who saw Frank
on the day of the crime and class
mates in college.
Jurymen Chosen.
The reading of the last names
came as a complete surprise. It de
veloped that the defense had scoured
the country for persons who had
known Frank when he w’as a student
at Cornell. They were subpenaed to
bring the character testimony in his
behalf up to the time he began his
business career.
The picking of the jury proved less
difficult than anticipated, twelve men
being obtained before 1:30.
List of Jurors.
Here are the jurors chosen:
A. H. Henf-'lee, No. 74 Oak street, a
traveling salesman for the Franklin
Buggy Company; F. V. L. Smith. No.
481 Cherokee avenue, manufacturer's
agent, with offices in the Empire
Building; J. F. Higdon, a con
tractor, No. 108 Ormewood avenue.
F. E. Winburn, No. 213 Lucile
avenue, claim agent Atlanta and West
Point Railroad; A. L. Wisby, No. 31
Hood street, cashier of the Buckeye
Oil Company; W. M. Jeffries, a real
estate man, with offices at 318 Empire
Building; Marcellus Johemming, No.
161 James street, a machine shop
foreman, with offices at No. 281 Mari
etta street; M. L. Woodward, cashier
King Hardware Company, No. 182
Park avenue; J. T. Os'burn. an opti
cian for Hawkes’, was chosen from
the fifth panel to be the ninth juror:
D. Townsend. No. 84 Whitehall ter
race, cashier Central Bank and Trust
Corporation.
W. S. Medcalf, No. 136 Kirkwood
avenue, circulation department of The
Atlanta Journal.
C. J. Bosshardt, No. 216 Bryan
street, pressman Foote & Davies.
Bosshardt, the twelfth juror chosen,
was the last venireman in the last
panel that had been called before the
court at the opening of court in the
morning. He was picked at exactly
1:25 o’clock and at 1:30 the recess
was taken until 3 o’clock.
Attorney Rosser took very little
pan in the selection of the jury, ex
cept to interject a suggestion now
and then. He evidently was reserv
ing his strength for the real struggle
to come.
Shortly before 2 o'clock Leo Frank
was taken into a room adjoining the
juryroom, where he was served with
a special dinner provided for him by
his relatives. Frank’s mother and
wife were allowed to converse with
him while he ate the dinner. He w r ill
remain in this room until the court
reconvenes at 3 o’clock.
Wife and Mother With Frank.
Frank, accompanied by his wife and
his mother, was brought into the
courtroom at 10:30 o’clock. The strik
ing of the jury was begun at once.
A half dozen of Frank’s friends in
terrupted the order of the court for
several minutes by clustering about
him and shaking hand« with him.
If there was any fear in the heart
of the young prisoner it did not show
in his calm features. He seemed per
fectly assured and self-possessed. H<>
nodded pleasantly to the judge and
greeted his friends with a smiles.
After the stir had. subsided, cover
ing the entrance of Frank, his wife
and mother, the trio took seats in a
semi-circle just below the bench.
Frank and his mother took a good
look at the jurors in the first panel
that was brought in. The prisoner
scrutinized each one closely as he was
quizzed by th*= prosecutor to deter
mine his qualifications.
Wife Fixes Gaze on Dorsey.
Mrs. Frank displayed no sign of
emotion until she suddenly found that
she was facing Solicitor Dorsey. Then
anger appeared to blaze from her eyes
She seldom removed her gaze from
the Solicitor’^ face during the fore
noon. If Dorsey was aware of the
young woman’s scrutiny, he made no
sign and proceeded with the case in
rapid fashion.
