THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. DEFENSE NOT HELPED BY WITNESSES ACCUSED OF ENTRAPPING THE STATE By JAMES B. NEVIN. Has the State succeeded In thoroughly establishing the fart that little Mary Phagan’* tragic death was effected on the second floor of the National Pencil Factory, in Forsyth street ? It has not, of course—but It has set up by competent evidence a number of suspicious circumstances, which. If properly sustained later along, will prove damaging In the extreme to Leo Fra-nk Unless these circumstances, trivial in some aspects, are braced up and backed up, however, by other much stronger circumstances, they will give the Jury, in all probability, little con cern in arriving at a verdict. Thursday was not a sensationally good day for the State, although it was much better than the day be fore. Twice Thursday the Solicitor Gen eral claimed that he had been "en trapped” by witnesses—and this, with the lamentable fall down of John Black the day before -served to give rise in the minda of some spectators to a faint suspicion that the State didn’t have its case very well in hand. No Help to Defense. There is something terribly sig nificant and actually sinister in that little word “entrapped." however, when hurled at a witness in the pres ence of a Jury, and it would be a mis take to believe that a witness, ac tually convicted, even in the mere opinion of the Jury, of having delib erately misled the prosecution there by helps the defense. \ The witness who entraps, or who is thrown under suspicion of having entrapped, frequently does the party he seems primarily to have hurt a wonderful amount of good. I believe, for instance, that Witness E. F. Holloway was speaking the truth when, on oath, he reversed his former affidavit to the Solicitor, and said that he left the elevator un locked on Saturday, whereas he be fore had sworn that he locked it Fri day and did not unlock it Saturday —the last inferentially, at least. This point will mean a good deal later, when it is reached in develop ing the defense's case, and if Hollo way's last story, apparently satisfac torily explained, holds together, well t and good-—*but who can tell what the 1 Jury thinks about that contradiction upon the part of Holloway, particu larly when he has been so deliber ately accused by the Solicitor of en trapping him? p| Holloway la an employee of the pencil factory—waa before and has been since the murder. If the Jury gathers the impression that he has been tampered with since his first statement, and by friends of Frank, to clear up seemingly damaging cir cumstances against Frank, it likely will be an aggravating thing, when the Jury comes to make up its find ings. Will Hurt Frank’s Case. Just as I thought, and still think, that Dorsey made a tactical mistake —for which he paid the full price, moreover—w’hen on Wednesday he exclaimed "plant,” thereby accusing the defense of unfair and grossly in decent methods of bolstering up its cause, so I think the constant sug gestion of witnesses changed in opin ion and testimony, and in favor of Frank, will hurt Frank's case, rather than help it, if sustained Mr. Dorsey failed utterly to bolster up his charge of ‘'planted” evidence, but he didn’t fail, in anything like the same degree, to say the least of It, in attacking Holloway Or. anyway, there is a grave prob ability that he didn't fall in the minds cf the jury. In short, my idea is this, as it has been all along: The public, and pre sumably even more the Jury, will re sent anything that savors of unfair methods employed either by the State or the defense. Steadily, though slowly, the defense •eems to be pulling away from th*» prosecution In the Frank trial, and the impression apparently is gaining ground gradually that the State like ly is fighting a losing battle. All of this may be changed in a moment—one witness on behalf of the State may serve to win back all the ground it may have lost. Nothing More Uncertain Than Verdict And, of all things, there is nothing to speculate upon quite so uncertain as the verdict a jury will hand in. The jury is sitting there, its atten tion confined to the development of the evidence. It reads no newspa pers; it converses with no outsiders. It can not get up, run across the street and swap ideas with somebody in the corner drug store It took charge of the caae, under its deliberately assumed oath that it was "perfectly impartial between th** State and the accused,” and it is see ing things in its own way—and that way may not be the wav outsiders are seeing it. So far. however, the State’s wit nesses alone have been introduced. aiF'*hatever advantage the defense hi.® gained of them has come in two \va\s either in their failure tp tesrifx !i- circumstances and admissions brought out in favor of the defense, under the merciless cross-examination of Lu ther Rosser It is a good deal to say. neverthe less. that at this stare of the trial the defense apparentlv las scored heav iest. for such nolnt- as It has won necessarily have been wrung from the State’s own witnesses, and not the witnesses of the defense In other words, wherever the State fails to score, the defense scores How Points Have Been 8cored. If the defense made little, if any thing. of Lee, it lost little, if anything, because of him It almost, if not quite, broke even on Rogers—and it most certainly scored tremendously on Black Scott, if damaging in a way, was also helpful in a way. In that he prac tically admitted suspicion of the ne gro Tnnley quite as strong as sus picion of Franl . Monteen Stover swore that Frank was not in his office for, at least, 4 period of some five minutes imme diately after 12 o’clock on the dav of the murder; at least, if he was. he w r ns w'here she could not >r did not see him. Grace Hlx undoubt edly helped Frank. Dr. Smith helped the State. R. P Barrett swore he found a piece of a pay envelope under Mary Pha gan’s machine three or four days after the murder, and that he found blood spots near the dressing room door three or four days after the murder. Mali Stanford swore that the spots near the dressing room were not the** Friday, and wer* there Monday, hut he could not swear the spots were blood. Holloway helped the defense, probably. There is nothing new In most of this testimony, however, save that of Barrett conce. ing the piece of en velope. and the defense presumably is ready, therefore, to meet It. State Facer Hard Task. The mere finding of a piece of pay envelope somew'here even near Mary Phagan’s machine, is not. of itself highly important; but it might serve as a link in an otherwise strong chain forged to connect Frank ii- rectly with the killing But if the , .ate has succeeded in setting forth the fact that Frank may possibly have committed the crime, it yet has a long road to travel before It proves "beyond a reasonable doubt” that he DID do It. Indeed, Frank’s attorneys have never combated the Idea that he waa in the factory at a moment when ti • killing of Mary Phagan MIGHT hav* been effected—and beyond that fact the State has been unable to proceed very far to date. It must be Temembered, too. that while the State now is engaged In weaving a web. real or imaginary, about Frank, the defense expects weave a much more terrible and sub stantial web about Conley. But even at that, mere suspicion alone will serve to convict neither. Much Depends on Conley. After all is said and done, and it generally gets back to this, the pre liminary chain of circumstance* against Frank likely will hold to gether tightly or fall apart hopeless ly, according to the fate of James Conley on the witness stand. If Conley stands the test of ex haustive cross-examination, then the circumstances leading up to and away from Conley’s connection with the case w'lll stand or lall. He is. and has been, at all times both the hope and the despair of the State, no less than the hope and de spair of the defense. He Is the star witness about whom the entire Frank case revolves, about whom it has revolved for weeks, and about whom it must revolve to its end. Of course. t*dre ever is the chance that the Stntb has something sensa tional. new and significant up its sleeve—and there Is the remoter chance that the defense has some big surprises in store. As the fifth day of the trial drags on, however, the impression has deep ened almost into a conviction In the mind of the public that neither the State nor the defense has much to let out that already hasn't been let out. in whole or in substantial parts. Spirit of Fstrness Everywhere. And the public is waiting for Con ley’s evidence before making up its mind. More and more I notice in the cas ual comment of people about town a spirit of fairness and an inclination to aw ait the full developments of both the State and the defense The public largely still is open- mind xl. It is “from Missouri"—and, after all. that is the way the public mind should be in this matter, for it Is a very grave matter, and Its final effect v.ill be far-reaching and full of significance, no matter which way the \erdict tomes finally There is one point yhat Undertaker Gheesling cleared upy on oath, and the public should take y&reful note ot it. He swore that M&gy Phagan’s body was NOT mutilaujfl in the way street rumor and go.*sift had it mutilated, just iu'ter the crUme was committed That ugly sulry undoubtedly w is accountable f<jr some of the primary prejudge against Frank—but it a as an untrue rumor, and in all fairness, now it it has been »xploded\ it should be borne *n mind. DORSEY UNAFRAID AS HE FACES CHAMPIONS OF THE ATLANTA BAR Thia shows the Solicitor warily noting the moves of an opponent. \ U Sherlocks, Lupins and Lecoqs See Frank Trial There are enough "hints,” aha’s” and those other exclamations that mark a true detective besides the badge on his left suspender to fill a whole volume of Gaborieau thrillers at the Frank trial A stranger whirled from the Ter minal Station to Judge Roan’s court room would be convinced before he had been In that temple of Justice five minutes that all Atlanta earns its living following clews, and that if Sherlock Holmes was made a mate rial being he could beat Jim Wood ward for Mayor by 8,000 votes. Ever since the body of Mary Pha gan waa found, practically every man of voting age and a lot of those who just think they are, have evolved a theory as to the crime they regard as incontrovertible as two plus two makes four, and have a system of ratiocination (beg pardon. Mr. Poe), that either proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that Leo M. Frank is guil ty, or that he is innocent, or that Jim Conley did it. or he didn’t, or that somebody did, but they’ll be hanged if they know who. Theorists There for Vindication. The census of 1910 gave Atlanta a population of 154.889, and it is safe to say that 154,839 sure-fire theories have been evolved. And everyone of the theorists wants to go to the'courtroom to see his the ory upheld and see the theory of the other fellow smashed to smithereens. Atlanta's deductive and Inductive powers were never even dimly real ized until this week. (’hat with the throng around the courthouse.

Dorsey, Solicitor and prosecutor of Leo M. Frank. Up Against a Hard Proposition Youthful Solic itor Is Fighting Valiantly to Win Case. By L. F. WOODRUFF. Georgia’s lawn’s most supreme pen alty faces Leo Frank. A reputation that they can not be beaten murt be sustained by Luther Rosser and Reuben Arnold. Atlanta’s detective department's fu ture is swaying on the Issue of the Frank trial. But there is a man with probably as much at stake as any of the hun dreds who crowd Judge Roan's* court room. xvtth the exception of Frank, and he is accepting the ordeal, though he realizes it. as calmly ar a person who has nothing more serious to de cide than whether he will order his steak rare or well done at breakfast time. Hugh Dorsey is hereby introduced He Is known pretty well In Atlanta without introduction, hut as chair men on political meetings insists on telling the audience that tilt Presi dent of the United States it-' about to apeak or that the Secretary of State u endeavoring to earn an additional amount to his yearly $12,000, Mr. Dor sey can be placed before the public without fear of violating precedent. Consider Hugh Dorsey. Consider Dorsey’s Job. His posi tion as public prosecutor places on him the duty of sending someone to the gallowss and this time it is Leo M Frank, against whom he must direct his efforts The proposition of convicting a man is as common in the life of a Solicitor as paying hi-* car fare home. But here’s a different proposition Doisey is confronted with the task of getting a conviction over the efforts of Luther Rosser and Rueben Arnold to obtain an acquittal And anyone who knows* Atlanta, who knows Fulton County, who knows* Rosser. who knows Arnold, realizes that this is a task fr m which Hercules might sidestep, a labor that is more tremendous than the building of the Panama Canal or the success ful storming of the fortress of Gi braltar. And still Dorsey has* gone into tfie fight unafraid; not only that, he t* aggressive. Atlanta's record for big crime trie Is' has not been altogether the pqjt twelve months. Dorsey has prosecuted Grace on a charge of attempting to slay her hueband. Atlanta was* In tensely interested in this issue. Mrs. Grace was acquitted. Dorsey lost. He prosecuted Callie Scott Apple- ban m on a charge of ending the life of her husband. Again the Quiblic was deeply interested. Again Dorsey lost. And then came the. Phagan killing. Atlanta, Georgia and the South de manded that her slayer be brought before the bar of justice and be given lew's severest penalty. Frank was fixed upon by tne police as the man.| The grand jury indicted him. and Dorsey staked his all on his convic tion V ? Luther Rosser had been retained he Frank's chief counsel. Dorsey smiled. Again there was a flash. Reuben Arnold had been added to the list of legal array to clear the name of the superintendent of the National Pen cil Factory of the charge that the had taken the life of a little *rirl. Reputation is a big thing. No prize lighter faces a champion withou: doubts as to his ability to cope with him The greatest financial genius probably trembled in hie boots w'hen he first met the foremost captain of industry. \ violin virtuoso bows be fore Kubelik. There Is no pianist w ho would approach Paderewski without a sensation of awe And here in Atlanta, Arnold and Rosser are 'champions. They a»*e Kubeliks, they are Paderewskis. Hugh Dorsey hasn’t quailed. Thr* ughout th** trial he has been desperately earnest. He realizes the work that is before him. If he has any enemies, they will admit that he lias handled his case well. Th«> Solicitor General is a great deal younger than his opponents. His hair is* tinged with gray, and there will probably be more of those strands there before he is through with hi3 clashes with the dynamic Rosser and the erudite Arnold. He is taking the case with intense seriousness. So far. Roster’s effort-- to rattle him by calling him "Hugh." “my young friend." "son” and "bud” have been unavailing. The practical collapse of his de tective testimony was enough to stun any man. but Dorsev stuck it out gamely There is plenty of fight .till in his eyes. It will be there if the caw goes against him. His appearance would indicate that he is holding something hack, some- thing with which he expects to sur- V prise his eminent opponents I,\ Then.

The disfranchisement bill of Rep resentative Slade of Muscogee, which its author says is an interpretation of the "good character" clause in the State Constitution, will be favorably recommended by the House Commit tee on Constitutional Amendments at Friday’s session of the House. Th'i vote was unanimous in favor of so re porting the bill at the committee meeting Thursday afternoon. Mr. Slade’s bill interprets the goal character clause to mean that "no man, white or black, whom a virtu ous woman will not trust In a place of seclusion without fear of physical assault, shall be allowed to vote." The right to strike off names of voters is vested in the ordinaries of the counties. If a voter objects, wom en shall not be called in, but the question shal 1 be decided by men who are familiar with the voter’9 life and habits. Mr. Slade declared that the bill s not directed against white men. but by its passage he hopes to disfran chise every negro In the State. T have been trying to get this bill through for the past two or three years, and am very hopeful that the members of this Legislature may see fit to pass it at the present session," Mr. Slade said. Vote Buttons Sold By Suffrage League Atlanta suffragists busied them selves Thursday in the sale of suf frage buttons and distribution of suf frage literature Just to be doing some thing while their suffrage sisters were parading in Washington. The button sale was held at the entrance of Mrs. Lillian Smith's millinery store, No. 115 Peachtree street, and a neat sum secured. This fund will be exj*ended in the holding of meetings to further the cause. The sale was held under the aus pices of the Woman’s Suffrage League of Atlanta, which was the Woman’* Civic League until two weeks ago. Diplomats in Revolt Against Grape Juice Washington, Aug. 1.—“Grape Juice diplomacy" has been banished by the dinner given by Senator Le- fevre, Charge d’Affaires of the Pan ama Legation, in honor of Richard L. Metcalf, a member of the Isthmian Canal Commission, at which Secre tary Bryan was present. The dinner was distinguished by the choice selection of wines and other liquids served. Grape Juice had no place on the menu. This is the first df a series of re volts said to be hatching among the diplomats. FIB; PUT ON Prison Sentence If Daniel Tolman Re-enters Business—Made $500,000 a Year. TRENTON, N. J.. Aug:. 1.—The loan shark business of the country re ceived a death blow to-day wi en Daniel H. Tolman, alleged to be the head of practically the entire busi ness of the country was sentenced to pay a fine of $1,000 and was placed under probation for three years. Should Tolman be detected In op erating a loan agency in any part of the United States, his probation will be revoked and he will be brought back to Trenton to serve a prieor. term. Tolman was arrested in a raid on his offices here on July 30, 1912, and was one of the first caught in the dragnet to clean up the loan sharks. When arrested he resisted the officers and had to be carried and dragged to the patrol. He is said to have operated 69 loan shark agencies throughout the coun try. The business netted him $500,- 000 profits a year. He fought the case at every step through the courts, but when forced to go to trial, changed Ms attitude and pleaded guilty. Dr. O'Kelley Chosen As New Mercer Head MACON, Aug. 1.—It is definitely announced that the presidency of Mercer University has been offered to Dr. T. W. O’Kelley, pastor of the First Baptist Church, of Raleigh. N. C. It Is believed that he will ac cept. Dr. O'Kelley graduated at Mercer in 1890 with first honors, and sub sequently he taught Greek and Latin at Mercer. Afterward he became principal of Hiawassee High School, In North Georgia. He Is 50 years of age and a man of family. He Is re garded as one of the ablest Baptist ministers of the south. Dr. O'Kelley was chosen from a list cf sixteen prominent clergymen and educators. LEFT FACTORY, BELIEVED TO BE DEFENCE THEORY Was Mary Phagan killed at or V';y near the time she entered the Na tional Pencil Factory April 26 to get her pay envelope nr was she merely attacked at this time and murdered later? The line of luestloninp pursued by Luther Rosser in his cross-examina tion of two cf the State’s witnesses Thursday afternoon indicated this will be one of the questions the jurors will have to aettL before thev will n« able to determine the innocence or guilt of Leo M. Frank. . Rosser was most persistent in his interrogation both of William A. Gheesling embalmer, and Dr. Claude A. Smith, physician and bacteriolo gist. Gheesling went to the pencil factory’ at about 4 v’cL *k the morn ing of the crime and took charge of the Phagan girl’s body. He told So licitor Dorsey in the direct examina tion Thursday that the girl had been dead ten or fifteen hours and that rigor mortis was well established. Gets Admission Before Jury. Rosser at once began an attempt to break down this portion of the em- balmer’s testimony, and succeeded in getting before the jury the witness' admission (hat rigor mortis it ex tremely variable in the time it takes to set in and become well established in a body. Gheesling admitted that the surroundings in respect to damp ness and temperature had their ef fect, as did the cause of the person's death, and that the degree of rigor mortis could not be taken as an inva riable indication of the time that a person had been dead. Frank’s attorney made similar in quiries of Dr. Smith and from him obtained similar statements. The presumption is he will use the tes timony of the State's witnesses to supplement that of the defense, com bining them to support the theory that the Phagan girl was attacked on the first floor by Conley and by him was thrown dowm the elevator shaft or carried down the ladder into the basement, but was not actually slain until after Frank had left the factory in the evening. Two other points will be estab lished by the defense before the State rests if Rosser is able to wring the information he wants from the wit nesses called by Dorsey. Says Frank Returned Alone. One of them is that Jim Conley did not walk to the factory with or just behind Leo Frank Saturday morning. April 26, as Conley sw’ore in his last affidavit that he did. E. F. Hollo way, one of the Stake’s witnesses, testified Thursday afternoon that no one was w’ith Frank when he re turned from Montag Brothers that morning. Rosser also displayed an unmis takable intention of making the de tectives and officers admit that Frank whs under virtual arrest when he was questioned Monday by the authorities, and that there was no reason why he should not have been aware of his status. He succeeded in getting B. B. Has- lett to make just this admission and undoubtedly will use it to explain the measures that were taken at once for the protection of Frank's interests, measures on w'hieh the State has looked with suspicion because, the attorneys state, Frank w’as not placed under arrest until 11.30 the Thursday forenoo.n after the crime. State Fares Better Thursday. The State fared better Thursday than any other day during the trial. Harry Scott, Pinkerton detective, submitted considerable damaging ev idence In respect to Frank's appear ance and actions during the first da*s of the investigation, although n'-jhing that was startling or direct cd r ven new. He told that Frank w'as extremely nervous when the superintendent and Newt Lee were placed in the same room at the police station and that Frank squirmed about in his chair, rubbed his chin and lips in agitated manner, grew pale and trembling and in every way comported himself as one might who was guilty of a crime. Scott said that he and John Black entered the room as Frank and Lee were finishing their conversation and that he overheard the latter part of Frank’s remarks. Rosser immediately caught the de tective up on this statement, referirng him to his testimony before the Cor oner’s Jury, w’here he testified that he had not entered the room until the conversation between Lee and Frank was completed and that he overheard nothing. Scott explained that he must have been mistaken when he testified before the Coroner. Scott testified that Herbert Haas, one of Frank's attorneys, early in the case had tried to persuade him to turn his evidence over to the defense before submitting it to the police, but this already had been aired at the in quest and was without particular ef fect, as Scott added, under the cross- examination of Rosser, that there was no attempt to have It suppressed or kept from the police authorities, but only to have it given first to the de fense. What had the appearance of being the most sensational testimony of the day was that given by R. P. Barrett, a machinist on the second floor of the factory, when he declared that he had found a pay envelope under the ma chine used by Mary Phagan. The pay envelope, however, when it was shown to the jury, was discovered to have on it no date, no amount, no name, with the excotion of a loop of one letter, no number nor any other mark to identify it as the pay en velope that the Phagan girl received Saturday, April 26. Nor was any ex planation suggested as to how ahe may have happened to be at hef'ma* chine when there w r as no work being done that day and the machine* were not in operation. Barrett testified to the finding of the alleged blood spots on the second floor near the women's dressing room and the strands of hair on the lath ing machine. No more was developed out of the testimony then was al ready known to the public when Bar rett anounced his discovery a few days after the murder. Barrett alio declared that a white substance had been used with the apparent intention of removing the splotches of red. 8wee P er Tell* of Splotchee. Mel Stanford, a factory sweeper, corroborated Barrett in his story of the finding of the spots and the white substance that w’as spread over them. He said the spots were not there when he swept the factory Friday and thn the first time he noticed them was w'hen they w'ere pointed out to him the Monday morning after the mur der. Monteen Stover, the 14-year-old factory girl, gave exactly the testi mony that had been expected. She said she had entered ;ne factory at 12:05 the day of the tragedy, and that Frank was not in his office. She said that she looked about in his onTcc for him and on failing to fjqri him left the building. She testified that she looked at the clock as she depart ed. and it was 12:10. Her story con tradicts the statement of Frank that he was in his office all the time after he came from Montag Brothers at about 11 o’clock until he went to the fourth floor to see Harry Denham and Arthur White at about 12:50. Dr. Claude A. Smith, city bacteriolo gist, testified that he found four or five blood corpuscles on one of the chips of wood that were brought to him. He could not tell whether or not it was human blood. These chips w'ere the ones taken from the floor where the alleged spots were found. He said that in his opinion the blood stained shirt found at the home of Newt Lee, the negro night watch man, never had been w'orn and that the blood on it was put on the inside of the garment and seeped through to the outside. spurs in Georgia politics, but who has not figured extensively in the bigger criminal cases tried before Atlanta courts. The man is Frank Hooper. He has been on his feet but once. He made an impression then. And when the case comes to its crucial stages, it will be well to watch these two youn^ lawyers arrayed against the admitte.1 masters of their craft. 8he lithe and unknown Corbett sent the invincible John L.
