The extent of testimony of “Hoots' Rogers, former county policeman, and J. N. Starnes, city detective, besides outlining inci dents about the discovery of the body and the examination of the factory building, was merely that Frank appeared nervous and excited when he was told of the discovery at the factory, and that his speech at various times during the Sunday following the dis covery’ seemed to he suspicions. Solicitor Dorsey, maintaining from tin* first that the State has framed a conclusive case against h rank, is steadfast, here at the end of the week, in declaring that he is satisfied with the re sults and the progress made. “The case which the State, from the evidence in its hand, has made against Frank, seems to be as strong as before the trial, he said yesterday. The lawyers for the defense declined to make a statement at this Juncture, declaring that any word from them during the prosecution's direct examination would appear in delicate. It is known, however, that they are confident of the strength of their defense, and are highly pleased with results of the trial as far as it has gone. Girl Aids the State. A valuable witness for the State was Monteen Htove^ a young girl who was a companion of Mary Pha- gan in the factory work. Miss Stover said Frank was not iu his office about 12 o'clock. April 26, although the prisoner had stated in thf. prelimi nary investigation that he* was ut his desk at that time. The girl testified she came to the office then for her pay. Anotherwas It. I*. Barrett, an em ployee of the factory, who said ho found a portion of Mary Phagan’s envelope, several long strands of hair, and splotches which he w'as sure were blood stains, under a lathe on the second floor of the factory Dr. Claude Smith, city bacteriolo gist, testified that the dark stains on the second floor were blood stains. Mrs. Arthur White, wife of one of the employees of the factory, was one of the last of the State’s witnesses called before the week-end recess was taken. She said she hod seen a negro hiding behind a pile of boxes near the fac tory entrance the day of the murder and that later, when she entered Frank’s office, she saw him. She spoke to him and he Jumped sharply, she said. It is likely that the trial will con tinue far into this week, probably consuming all of It. Little Girl Reported Captive of Gypsies Child With Fortune Teller In Nomad Camp Resembles Missing Catherine Winters. FOND nr LAC. WI8.. Aug. 2. A hand of gypsies that passed through Ford du Lac and continued their course westward carried as their cap tive little Catherine Winters, daugh ter of Dr. and Mrs. \V. A. Winters. oL.

Accor>»ef\nying the fortune teller was a white vhild, who, according to Mrs. McGowan, had a most striking re semblance to the published photo graph of Catherine Winters. Everybody says in his heart that he knows human nature, that he can read guilt or innocence, sensuality or asceticism, calm or perturbation In the face of another. Everybody, armed to his own satisfaction with this power of divination, has gone to the trial of Leo Frank to watch the man who is charged with the murder of a little girl, the most brutal and conscienceless of murders. The young man who is thus the center of all eyes sits apparently un conscious of the multiple gaze that continue all day long. Those who go to watch him declare a variety of opinions—that he is calloused or that he is conscience-clear, that he scorns the outcome of the trial whatever it may be, or that he is serene in his in nocence. The watchers generally admit, how ever, that he is unconcerned. But in the finding of this verdict they do not see the eyes of the man ****** 2' CHILDREN AT FUNERAL OF' FATHER, 54 YEARS OLD Special Cable to The American. LONDON.

A man twiddles his thumbs, glances aimless ly here and there, is lax-muscled, va cant-eyed. Then he is unconcerned. But the wide-eyed stare behind the thick nose glasses proves Frank very much concerned. The quick shifting of his gaze from the witness to the questioner, back and forth as ques tion is asked and answer made, proves him very much alive to the proceedings. To be sure, Frank’s face is Im mobile, except, perhaps, for the eyes. But fixity of countenance does not al ways go with unconcern. In this case it is a part of the man’s nature. Im mobility is the essential part of his physiognomy. It is the immobility of the business man given to calcu lation, of the gambler, of the person given to repression. Shrewdness is the essential factor of Frank’s character. It is the nat ural conclusion that this should be so. Here you have a young man. Just 2S, who was the head of a highly capi talized manufacturing concern, and its head because of his own effo-is and achievement. He Misses Not a Syllable. Shrewdness, too, is evident in those wide-open eyes of his. They shift rapidly and constantly, from witness to lawyer, from lawyer back to an swering witness. When they settle upon their object, they are fixed enough for the moment, and never furtive. But they linger for no time here nor there. One man speaks. Frank’s eyes fix him with the wide stare. Another an swers or interrupts. The young man’s gaze travels to him. No syllable nor intonation is missed. All this can be token nothing but a nervous, careful nature. Nervous in the sense of pos sessing mental force and high-strung sensibilities; not nervous in the sense of neurotic affection. Nervousness need not mean merely timidity. Frank is essentially careful. Wit ness again the evidence of the young man rising to a position of respon sibility in the business world. All this is betrayed by the active eye« It is not to be read in the mask that is Frank’s face, but only in the eyes. Frank is not unconcerned. Luther Rosser is firing questions at the wit ness. Then Frank’s eyes are most earnestly expressive. They are up turned to the figure of his lawyet and in them there is something of in genuous confidence and trust. They are very wide then. His mouth opens slightly. Altogether there is some thing in that gaze like the look a child bestows on a person toward whom he feels something of awe. His Face Never Changes. Those who say Frank is uncon cerned must surely have seen him during the moments w'hen his dynam ic eyes were in repose, moments like those when the photographers were aiming their camera** at him. mo ments when men are not actively try- Men Tennis Players To Appear in Skirts 1 l^ovel Handicap Match Is Provided for Members of Club in Berkshires. MS GO UP AS Hid Wooden Leg Till Divorce Is Served lng to breik hi* neck or to save him. In this, however, the watcher* are correct when they talk about his un- f concern—his face never changes, for so much as the twitch of a muscle, for minutes and minutes at a time. The body never shifts in the chair It occu pies. Hi.** eyes move, and in the mov ing speak, but his face bardly ever speaks. Leo Frank, if not uncon cerned, is at least Imperturbable. But sometimes his wife's hand, rest ing on the back of his chair and lightly touching his shoulder, pats his arm once or twice. It is a signal from her. His head goes around and is in clined. his ear near her mouth. At her whispered message he turns even farther, and for the fleeting part of a second looks into her eyes. Hi* wide mouth widens farther for the ghost of a smile. The whole movement is quick, ner vous and almost abrupt. But he has smiled. His wife is as impasrlve a* he. She ha3 none of his nervous make-up, and, if anything, to the observer ap pears even more unconcerned than does her husband. But the avidity with which she seizes upon certain lines of evidence, bending forward to whimper in her husband’s ear. or backward to reach one of the attor neys, proves her Interest. She smiles, too, answering her husband’s smile. But h°rs. like his, is merely the blink of a smile. Mother Never Smiles. Mrs. Frank, the prisoner’s mother, never smiles. She sits against Judge Roan's stand, her face a sad puzzle, expressive of nothing In regard to w'hat is going on around her. but ex pressive of a great deal of under standing. sympathy and kindness. Frank’s own face Is a small, ner vous, abnormal face and not attract ive. It is that of a man too keenly bright. It Is not that of an affable, brotherly man. It Is not that to at tract other men. But the faces of his two best allies, his wife and his moth er, are as attractive as hi.** is unat tractive. Both bespeak powers of courage and of fortitude. Mrs. Frank, the wife, it seems, is capable of en during the same trials. Frank’s face is no advantage to him, even with its serenity. The faces of his allies will help him. Frank is cool, rather than courage ous. calculating rather than brave, shrewd rather than daring. All this the wide, active eyes bespeak. But even if it were not his nature to he thus deliberate, he probably would bear this same appearance of calm, surrounded as he is by every fiemblance of protection. He is the center of a cordon of friends. At his left is his mother, and beyond her the judge’s bench, that embodiment of safety. Behind him are two of hla lawyers. Stiles Hopkins and Herbert Haas. At his right, close to his side, is his wife, and beyond her are others of his corps of lawyers. They are all aggressive, vigorous in his defense, creating an atmosphere rt security that surely must bring assurance to him. Littie wonder he is calm.

Aug 2.—Mr. and Mrs. Pierre Tartoue arrived yesterday on the steamer St. Paul, after spending their honeymoon in Egypt and South America.

Atlanta, fia Neurologist Calls Beer Peril to Nerves Expert Advises Railroads to Pass Regulations Prohibiting Its Use by Employees. CHICAGO, Aug. 2 —No more drink ing—not even the humble beer—for the railroad man hereafter, if the big transportation companies take the same view as the congress of alien ists and neurologists who recently completed their sessions at the Hotel Sherman. The gathering passed recommenda tions for total abstinence, and for reg ular investigations to determine thd mental soundness of railway em ployees. The resolutions have added signifl- , cance because they followed an ad dress on the subject by Dr Theodor• Dlller. of Pittsburg, who had be*n j sent to the congress by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Hot Fried Chicken Ends Hunger Strike Negro Forgets Plan When He Smells Savory Pullet and Sees Watermelon. ELIZABETH. N. J., Aug. 2,—The manner in which Warden Charles W. Dodd, of the county Jail, broke up a 'hunger strike’’ to-day may set a use ful example, he thinks, to the keepers of English prisons who become cus todians of suffragettes. William Tur ner. a negro prisoner incarcerated last Sunday, sought to gain his lib erty by refusing to eat. This morn ing the negro had been 48 hours with out food, when Warden Dodd ap peared at the door of his cell with a rreaming plate of fried chicken and a large section of Juicy watermelon One sniff and Turner s "hunger strike" came to an abrupt end. SEATTLE. Aug. 2.—The half-com pleted granite monument to the late John H.

Th*> scent of kerosene was at once detect ed. The monument is being erected on Westlake boulevard near its inter section with Stewart street. Anti Suffrage Association Says California’s Expenses Have In creased $3,000,000 a Year. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—"Great- lng the millennium with the ballot, and regardless of the staggering cost, has been California’s beautiful dream since woman suffrage carried the State eighteen months ago. "Children are not to be separated from their parents because of their poverty. The State is to subsidize the home. School teachers are to be pensioned. Old people are to receive an annual income. Prisoners are to be paid for their work in the jails. A regime of ease and comfort is to be draw n in the Golden State. “And then everybody in the commu nity will be happy—except the tax payers who must become paupers or criminals before they can draw divi dends on their investments in Califor nia's Utopian scheme.” This resume of a three months’ in vestigation of economic conditions in California and of the equal suffrage law, made by Miss Alice Hill Chitten den, president of the New York State anti-suffrage organization, is the opening paragraph of a formal report given out here by the Washington headquarters of the National Associa tion Opposed to Woman Suffrage.

Aug 2.—Three times wedded in church and each time widowed within a few months or years, not to speak of a house cer emony, which also ended fatally, Marshal Mosbarger has grown super stitious in regard to his weddings.

"Your leg will stay locked up in the | closet till the bailiff gets here with j the papers. Then you can take it and go,” rejoined Mrs. Kurdiana. Swiss Hotels Refuse English Bank Checks Number of Swindles Has Caused Bonifaces to Insist on American Method of Paying Bills. Special Cable to The American. GENEVA, Aug. 2.—Owing to a large number of recent swindles, the Swiss hotels now refuse to accept English checks in payment of hotel bills. Heretofore English checks have passed in Switzerland at their face value, no exchange on them being charged. A clever band of swindlers have made u«e of this fact and have passed forged check* to the extent of several thousand dollars. The best method for tourists to use in monetary transactions in Switzer land, say the hotelkeepers, is the one used by most Americans, the express money order and tourist agency notes, as these are accepted as cash by the hotel proprietors.

COURTROOM STUDIES OF LEO FRANK Three typical poses of the defendant, in the famous Pbagan ease are shown, while in the up per left of the picture is a study of Luther Rosser, his leading; counsel. Here is what a study of Frank's face reveals: His face is immovable, except, perhaps, for the eyes. But fixity of coun tenance does not, always (ro with unconcern. In this case it is a part of the man's nature. Im mobility is the essential part of his physiognomy. It is the immobility of the business man (riven to calculation, of the (rambler, of the person (riven to repression.
