At 9:58 o’clock Solicitor Dorsey announced that he was ready to open the case of the State against Leo M Frank, charged with having killed Mary Phagan by strangulation. This was followed by the request of tin* 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 der called, their names were: Mrs. J. W. Coleman, mother of Mary Pha gan; J. W. Coleman, the girl’s step father; George Epps, newsboy; L. S. Dobbs, policeman; W. W. Rogers, bailiff for constable; L. S. Starnes, detective and also prosecutor on the indictment; Pat Campbell, detective; Grace Hicks, girl who identified Mary Phagan’s body; J. M. Gantt, onee held for inquiry, now supposed to be a star witness for the prosecution; Harry Scott, the Pinkerton detective; R. P. Barrett, pencil factory em ployee; B. J’. Haslett. policeman; M. V. Parley, factory employee; YV. A Gheesling, undertaker that cared for the girl’s body; Dr. Claude Smith, City Bacteriologist; Dr. H. F. Har- E F Haw-kins, No. 369 Edge wood venue, a negro, who was accepted , thi** prosecution, but struck by thv Jefense. I. F. Da vis for cause. David Woodward, foi cause. M. J. Sewell, for cause. Third and Fourth Panels Go. The following men were struck on the third panel: Charles Wither spoon, by defense; H. J. Kuglar. for ris, member of the State Board of Health; Dr. .1. W. Hurt, Coroner's physician; E. L. Parry, court stenog rapher; E. S. Smith. Monteen Stover, girl employee at pencil factory; Mi- nola McKnight, cook at Frank's home; Albert McKriight, Minola's husband • McKnight did not appear in court); Helen Ferguson, Mrs. Arthur White, wife of factory employee, and L. Stanford. Attorney Reuben Arnold asked concerning the duces tecum that he had served on the State’s attorneys for the affidavits of dim 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, how-ever, 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. The Solicitor asked then that the defense’s witnesses be 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. Liebman, Miss Bessie YY'hite, Joe Williams, Fred Howell, Wade Camp bell, J. A. Price. J. E.

Rabl David Marx, A. E. Mayo. Fred Weller, A. R. Marcus, Ed Mon tag, I. H. Hons, W. B. Owens, T. Y. Brent and Ossie Shields. These were all of the witnesses whose names w-ere called, but at least 100 more, who will be used mostly as character witnesses, were in the room on the second floor waiting to be called. First Talesman Too Old. After the venire had been sifted ami many excused, W. S. Copeland was the first talesman examined. He was excused when he said that he had 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 jnror 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, but Solicitor Dorsey struck him. A. W. Brewerton was disqualified because he was opposed to capital punishment. W. H. Winn w-as 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. \Y\ E.

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.

Belllngrath. Solicitor Dor sey urged that the talesman was not disqualified by this. However, Judge Roan disqualified him for cause. ”1 think he should be set aside for his own sake.” ruled the Judge. D. Berger, for cause. Two More Panels Struck. The following men were struck from the fifth panel: W. C. Willis, for cause; H. C. Hasty, prejudice; C. H. Cook, by defense; C. H.

Worh- endorff, prejudice; Nicholas Ittner, age; Bud YY’attes, prejudice; YV. W. Sorrell, by defense; Soloman Ben jamin, member of Grand Jury. The buzz of conversation in 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 ids 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 w’hen the case was called. Heading counsel for Frank were Rosser and Reuben R. Arnold, two of the foremost lawyers of *he 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. YYMth Solicitor Dorsey were Frank A. Hooper, the brilliant attorney who made his reputation as 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, also was in court. A stir was created when Mrs. Frank, wife of the accused, made ner way into the 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, was seen to converse cheerfully with him. The loyal woman, who insisted *n being by the side of her husband un fit he was called into the courtroom with his attorneysf drew the attention away from the routine proceedings several minutes. Judgq Roan 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 lhai 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. "How do you know that?” inquired the judge. “My mother says 1 am.” was Dr. Connally’s reply. "Do you claim exemption on that account?’* asked the court. “I guess I do, judge.” admitted the capitalist. “YY'ell, tjen, I guess I will excuse Judge Roan has presided in nearly all of Atlanta’s celebrtaed murder trials in the past ten years. He is distinguished for his knowledge of criminal law and procedure. you," said the Judge, amid a general laugh from the courtroom. Dr. Uonnallv left his place with a vigor that belled his years. Old Dr. Stork was responsible f>*r the excusing of several of the jurors. By the time the eighth panel of men had taken the oath three men had told of new arrivals at their homes and had 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. "YVe will not seek a change of venue or make any move of any kind :o 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. “YVe w ill announce ready as soon as the case is called,” he said. One important witness for the de fense was reported to be missing H»* is a traveling salesman, and the defense was said to be confident of locating him. A great crowd gathered in front oi the courthouse as the hour of the trial drew near, and when 9 o’cIook 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 an l newspaper men. The crowd was tense with curiosi ty, but to all appearances inclined to be orderly and apparently was moved only by the commonest of human mo tives—curiosity. Judge Andrew' Calhoun entered the courtroom when the court was about midway in its forenoon session ani took a seat by Judge Roan. In the intervals when the proceedings were interrupted by conferences of the at torneys, he conversed with Judge Roan. Newt Lee, who found Mary Pha gan’s body, was brought from the Tower in the middle of the forenoon in the custody of a deputy sheriff. He was placed in an anteroom adjoining the courtroom. It was expected that he would be one of the early wit nesses. if not the first, to be called ay the State. Lee testified before the Coroner's inquest that he found the body of the slain factory girl in the Committee Ready For Currency Bill WASHINGTON, July 28.—Presi dent Wilson having withdrawn his demand that the Glass currency bill be sent Immediately to a Democratic caucus of the House, the Democratic members of the House Banking and Currency Committee prepared to con. aider the hill late to-day, with the ex- l>ectatk>n that tin agreement could be reached before the end of the week.

As Leo 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 of the little factory girl was found Wise judges of news, men who are paid thousands of dollary each year for their knowledge of the fickleness of the public, men who can time to the second the period when interest dtes in one thing before the public eye to be born anew* in another, have for years 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 flayer and their demand for this news lias been In satiable. • That the vaunted Insight of these news experts is as shallow as the mirror reflection of a beauty of the stag** is the thought tnat common logic first presents Insight of Experts Borne Out. The insight of these experts has no* 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 mak: men think is presented than in any one case developed since typesetting machine?* made the modern new spaper 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. JJut there was never the ele ment of mystery in the slaying of Stanford YY r hlte. District Attorney Jerome Ascribed it pretty’ well as a commonplace tragedy of the tender loin. The only que?*tion that confronted ihe 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 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 w’alks 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 Y r ir- ginia aristocrat, w r ho met death in the electric chair for slaying his wife after his infatuation for Beulah Bin- ford. Bift again, we have a feature of the Phagan case w hich 'was missing in the Beit tie 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 w'orld 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 Uiere 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 YVhitla, the sturdy Pennsylvania lad, in 1909. But w r hen the kidnapers were taken and Billy YVhitla 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 w’ho remember bis case at all. For Billy' Y\ r hitla 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 New Orleans home by members of the Crescent City Mafia. Interest was intense at every' period of the search and public sentiment w'as 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 maJ<e 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 y*ou will discover that the Phagan case has features which that case does not possess and any one of those features would make a Morv of breathless interest in itself. No murder trial in Fulton County ever has apnroached the spectacular interest which is in prospect in the Frank case from the first, sharp skirmish between the opposing attor neys, through the long, hitter 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 carrying the fight to their opponents. In ring parlance, they do not give their courtroom rivals a chance to “get set.” This is going to keep l;h“ 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 tne 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 tnat now is felt by per sons who have to face him in the \vi - nes« box or by young lawyers whj have to pit their strength against him. Rosser and Arnold are at their bes: when they are cross-examining the witnesses called by the other side. This fact is expected to bring abo it the most thrilling situation of the entire trial in the witness box grill ing of the negro Jim Conley. Nut satisfied with seeking to prove the entire innocence of their client, the two lawyers propose to show that Conley himself is the man who -it 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 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 i, called to the stand 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. Itos.-vr’s plan opens up the dramatic possibility of a courtroom eoniession 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 it Conley, under the fire of questions directed at him by Rosser and Ar nold. should collapse and confess he alone vas' concerned in the crime. The cross-examination of Conley us i certain to be one of the spectacular fea 1 liras of the trial. His vivid 1 a :« under the lead of questions by solici tor Dorsey and Attorney ^rank 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 fir=*t hand frem the ne gro’s lips. Raked Up His Past Life. Then Conley will be turned over to the scarcely tender mercies ol' 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. He 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 the 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' sticks Whether or not they are successful, their attempt will be a dramatic feature of the trial. A fight, scarcely less spectacular, will develop over the story of YY r illi-i rn H. Mincey. This time the attorneys for the prosecution will be in the rols of scoffers. Mincey has declared thn’ 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 tne 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 tria'u The defense insists on having in court, for the purpose of comparison, all of the affidavits taken from Jim Conley, Newt Lee, Monteen Stover, YY'. M. Matthews and others. Dorsey declares this is a flimsy trick to dis credit the State’s witnesses*, and pro poses to resist to the extent of his ability’ any move to compel him to comply with the demand. STREET CAR HITS R. R, Gresham, Father of Ten, Dies Three Hours After Crash, Thrown Forty Feet. 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 w hich he died three hours later with, out regaining consciousness.
