Here are the important developments of Saturday’s session of
the trial of Leo M. Frank:
Attorneys for the defense spring a sensation by threatening a
move for a mistrial because Judge Roan has exposed a newspaper
headline to the jury. A compromise is effected by the judge cau-
I tioning the jury to disregard any outside influence.
Dr. J. W. Hurt, after testifying along the line taken by Dr. H.
F. Harris’ testimony of Friday, admits that no examination was
I made of Mary Phagan’s lungs, and that whether death comes by
strangulation can be determined only in this manner.
Dr. Hurt testifies under cross-examination that he would not
attempt to say that Mary Phagan came to her death within a half
hour after she had eaten merely because some cabbage, only par
tially digested, had been found in her stomach. He declares the
time it would take to digest cabbage depends on the individual.
He also testifies that in his examination of the body he discov
ered no indications that would lead him to say that the girl had
j been criminally attacked.
Jim Conley is made ready to testify Saturday afternoon, but
court adjourns at 12:30 until 9 o’clock Monday morning.
A genuine sensation was sprung at the trial of Leo M. Frank
Saturday morning when Luther Rosser and Reuben Arnold, at
torneys for the defense, asked the State to consent to a new trial
on the ground that Judge Roan had allowed the jury to catch a
glimpse of a headline in the first extra of The Georgian.
Juge Roan had laid the paper
on the stand in front of him, and,
l^accoring to the efense the head-
■ line across the first page could be
Bread by th men in the jury box.
I The headline said: "State Adding
(Links to Chain."
[ The defense's lawyers went into
limmediate conference with the judge,
and a few minutes later asked So
licitor Dorsey to consent to a new
(trial. The Solicitor refused.
Rosser Asks Explanation.
Rosser and Arnold then came into
the courtroom and asked that the
■jury be withdrawn. *
Rosser addressed the court:
"Your honor Inadvertently displayed
t A newspaper when you came in just
ow. One side was turned up with
[large red letters reading: ‘State Add
ing Links to Chain.’ Every member
of the jury readmit. I saw them lean-
forward to see it.
l" “We don’t want to make a motion
jfor a new trial, but we want this Jury
ailed back and such explanation
(made by your honor as will elimi-
ate any harm that might have been
one by the jury seeing this paper."
Solicitor Dorsey Objects.
Dorsey objected to Rosser’s re
quest of Judge Roan.
‘T object to your honor making an
explanation as to an isolated in
stance," said Dorsey. "It is only fair
to the State to call that jury back
and ask it If it had seen any newspa
per. It is only fair to the State to
tell that Jury that this objection of
protest was registered by the defense.
The jury must have seen newspapers
on the streets in going to and from
the hotel that had headlines in them
eminently unfair to the State’s case. I
will ask your honor to explain the
matter fully to the jury."
Judge Roan heatedly said: “Cal!
the jury back and I will tell it what 1
see fit."
Attorney Rosser during the Solici
tors speech spoke in undertones,
threatening a mistrial if the prose
cution’s request was granted.
Judge Warns Jury.
Judge Roan said to the jury when
the tribunal had been returned to the
Jury box:

the home of George Bodiford, a re
spectable white farmer of Grady
County, living about six miles from
Cairo, and with an ax brained him,
his wife and five children late last

still unconscious and the chances for
their recovery are very slight.
The details of the crime are meager.
The only clew as to the guilty party
is from one of the little girls, who
has revived sufficiently to make a
statement. She says that she was
awakened by the negro coming into
the house. As she screamed he hit
her in the head with the ax and then
struck her father, mother and some
of the smaller children.
Girl Gives Alarm.
One girl, about 12 years old, was
struck in the head and knocked down,
but as she fell she grabbed the negro

the alarm and several neighbors came
to the house.
The SherifT and a posse, with three
physicians, went to the scene before
daylight this morning. They report
it is likely that most of them will re

the man and wife. The Sheriff ar

one who did the work. He remained
in the yard to writ,.. while the other
entered the house.
Ax and Shoes Identified.
The ax and a pair of shoes, left in
the yard, were identified to-day by the
wife of the suspected negro. She
claimed that he had not been home
since yesterday afternoon, when the
two negroes left together. One of
Bodiford’s daughters says that this
negro and her father had some words
a few days ago about a watermelon
patch. This Is the only motlvn that

Senator Owen Asserts Banks
Will Gain, Not Lose. Under
Wilson Reform Act.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2.—With the
broad assertion that “panic will be
impossible if the administration cur
rency reform bill is passed," Senator
R. L. Owen, of Oklahoma, chairman
of the Senate Committee on Banking
and Currency, to-day replied to bank
ers who demand to know what ad
vantages they will gain from the bill.
Owen asserts the bill will safe
guard banks against occasional runs,
give the ordinary State bank peace
of mind against possible artificial
panics, and that while the banker
loses 2 per cent on a part of his re
serve deposited with the Federal Re
serve Bank, he actually will make
money by other advantages.
Senator Owen points out that a re
serve of 15 per cent will be sufficient
instead of the 25 per cent now car
ried. With the same money, he as
serts, a bank of $100,000 capital would
make $2,750 each year more than un
der the present law.
In reply to the suggestion that
bankers should control the Federal'
Reserve Board because they are "put
ting up all the money," he replied
that the banks are not putting up
money, but are merely lending cred
it. and that the Government Is really
supplying the money which Is not sup
plied by depositors themselves.
