SMITH’S GRAB FIRST The Atlanta Georgian. Read for Profit---GEORGIAN WANT ADS---Use for Results VOL. XII. NO. 311. ATLANTA, GA., SATURDAY. AUGUST 2,1913. By Copyright 1908, 7 Th* Georgian Co. 2 rn?\TTQJ p AY NO 1 O. MORE. 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 Rosser and Arnold then came into the courtroom and asked that the ■jury be withdrawn.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.

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 around the legs and threw him.

Tattler, Single, Dick Bodie, Skyrocket 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.
