are similar. They can be produced,
and they should be.”
“I will withhold my ruling until
I look up some authorities.” replied
Judge Roan.
"I will ask the witness something
elee,” said Arnold.
Q. What process did Frank have
to go into to get at these results?—A.
He had to get reports from every de
partment, figure averages, costs,
sales, profits, expense.
Figures Required Clear Head.
Q. It took a man with a good clear
head to figure it?—A. Yes.
Q. What calculation was necessary
to arrive at the net result?—A. The
amount of rubber tips, labels, and
every other little detail must be cal
culated.
Q. It required a large amount of
calculation?—A. Yes.
Q. Sunday, were you in the factory
with Frank and Detective Starnes?
A. Yes.
Q. There were forty or fifty peo
ple in the factory Sunday, were there
not?—No. not over pix or eight.
Q. Did you go into the cellar?—A.
Yes.
Q. What time did you get to the
factory?—A. 8:20.
Q. There was ;i great deal of ex
citement there?
Dorsey objected. "t think your
Honor has already ruled on this ques-
tion,” said he.
Calls Nervousness Natural.
Arnold interrupted.
“Your honor, it i6 eminently un
fair,” he said. “I want to show that
this young man was whisked from
his home before he had his coffee,
and it was nothing unusual if he
was excited. Why, I lived at a board
ing house with some old bachelors,
and they wouldn’t even talk before
breakfast. When Newt Dee first saw
this girl in the basement he ran like
a turkey. That was one way of
showing his excitement. Some men
are naturally nervous; some show
nervousness in reading a paper or
making a speech; some men go into
battle without even flinching.”
Judge Roan ruled: “I think you
can show the occasion.”
Rosser interrupted. “Let me give
you a little illustration, your honor,”
he said. ‘‘I was on the streets dur
ing the time of the Atlanta riots.
Crowds were everywhere and every
one was excited.”
Dorsey then spoke: “Only a few
minutes ago, your honor, you ruled
out, or we considered that you ruled
out, the question of Newt Dee being
nervous or composed. The only
question before this jury is: Was
Deo M. Frank nervous?”
Dorsey Wins Ruling.
“You can’t show that anyone else
was nervous.” said Judge Roan.
Rosser: “If you have ruled that
way. it will vitiate this trial. This
jury will never know that that crowd
was nervous and excited. It will
never know that Starnes, sleuth that
he is, trembled and was excited when
he saw' that lifeless corpse. That
Pat Campbell, son of the Emerald
Isle, started back aghast when he
touched that icy chest. And if there
is one mistake at this time it will
vitiate this trial.”
“If there is any doubt on your
honor’s mind, I want to refer you to
the 81 and 85 Georgia,” said Dorsey.
“This proposition is simply a dragnet
to go out and bring in everyone when
Leo Frank is the only one we are
concerned with here.”
The objection was sustained.
Attorney Arnold declared that he
only wanted those around Frank in
the factory described. Dorsey ob
jected, and the objection was sus
tained.
Attorney Arnold then asked that
the objection of the defense be re
corded.
Blood Spots Common.
Q. How long have you been working
at the factory w here there were wom
en. .Mr Darley?—A. 24 years.
Q. Isn’t it a common thing to find
hlood.«»pots around the women's dress
ing room?—A. Yes.
Q. Did you ever see any blood
spots around the dressing room in this
factory?—A. (Darley hesitated). Yes,
sir, I have.
Q. What cdlor was the suit Mr.

Q. What color suit did he wear on
Sunday?—A. Blue.
Q. What color on Monday?—A.
The same one he wore on Saturday.
Q. Did you see any splotches on

Frank’s face or hands when he came

Md not.

WARM SPRINGS, GA.,
MORE POPULAR
THAN EVER.
Mr. Slade, the new proprietor of
Warm Springs, is adding daily to
the popularity of this well-known
bathing resort. He has this week
added a new orchestra of brass in
struments and drums, and the
dancing is one of the popular
amusements. The ballroom can
not be excelled by any in the State,
and with Lilly's Band from Colum
bus the dancing is all that can be
wished.
The Warm Springs is the pleas
antest place in the State, and the
swimming pool the finest bathing
in the country. The mountain
breezes and healthy clime, free
from gnats and mosquitoes, make
It an ideal spot for a summer out
ing. The Warm Springs wants to
see its old friends again.
