COURTROOM STUDIES OF LEO FRANK
Three typical poses of the defendant in the famous Phagan case 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: llis face is immovable, except, perhaps, for the eyes. But fixity of coun
tenance does not always 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 calculation, of the gambler, of the person given to repression.

pan girl, and that he seldom talked with the factory girls when
he visited the rooms in which they worked.
The extent of testimony of “Boots 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 be suspicious.
Solicitor Dorsey, maintaining from the first that the State
has framed a conclusive casi- against Frank, 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
thin Juncture declaring that any word
from them during: th* pro.-necut ion's ^
direct examination would appear in-
delicate. It is known, however, that -
they are confident of th* strength of
their defense, and are highly pleased
with results of the trial as far as It jBr
has gone. ^
By TARLETON COLLIER.
Everybody says in his heart that hr.'
knows human nature, that he can
read guilt or innocence, sensuality jr
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 th*-
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 th3t
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 verdi t
they do not see the eyes of the man
| that are always wide stretched and
j intent, with brows always slightly
lifted, with a gaze that seems to burn.
Eyes Show His Interest.
Leo Frank unconcerned? 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 verv
much concerned. The quick shifting
of his gaze from the w itness to the
questioner, hack 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 he 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 hack 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 p.or there.
One man speaks. Frank’s eyes fix
him with the wide stare. Another an
swers or interrupts! The young man’"
gaze travels to him. No syllable nor
intonation is missed. All thin 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
eve*.
Frank is not unconcerned. Luther
Rosser is firing questions at the wit
ness. Then Frank’s eyes are most
earnestly expressive. They are up-
i turned to the figure of his lawyer 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-
ing to break his neck or to save him. M
In this, however, the watchers are JR
correct when they talk about hi* un-B
concern—his face never changes. for»
so much as the twitch of a muscle, for W.
minutes and minutes at a time. The &
body never shifts in the chair it ©ecu- *
pies. His eyes move, and in the mov-,f
ing speak, but his face hardly. ever- 1
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 Jft
arm once or twice. It is a signal from iff
her. His head goes around and is in-
dined, his ear near her mouth. Atif
her wffilspered message he turns even
farther, and for the fleeting part of a 4
second looks into her eyes. His wide ll,
mouth widens farther for the ghost of
a smile.
The whole movement is quick, ner- /
vous and almost abrupt. But he h? ^
smiled. ;• ^
His wife Is as impassive a? he. She^*
has none of his nervous make-up^^B
and, if anything, to the observer ap-^|
pears even more unconcerned thanlS
does her husband. But the avidity Vj
with which she seizes upon certain j i
lines of evidence, bending forward to
whiter in her husband’s ear. or
backward to reach one of the attor-BB
neys, proves her interest. She smiles.fljl
too, answering her husband’s smile.^8
But hers, like his. is merely the blink ff
of a smile.
Mother Never Smiles.
Mrs. Frank, the prisoner’s mother, B
never smiles. She sits against Judge K
Roan’s stand, her face a sad puzzle, §

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—‘‘Creat
ing 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
drawn 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 Stale
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.
SCITUATE. MASS., Aug 2.—The
Scituate lighthouse, where during the
War of 1812 Rebecca and Abigail
Bates are said to have frightened off

place was garrisoned, was sold at
auction yesterday by the United
States Government. All bids were
sent to Washington, where the an
nouncement of the result will be
made.
This town put in a sealed bid, and
if it obtains possession will use the
site as a public park. Historic so
cieties fear the lighthouse will be lost
through the property falling into the
hands of a land company.
