HEARST'S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, SUNDAY, AUGUST 3, 1913. •Continued From P»g« 1. 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. Leo Frank’s Eyes Show Intense Interest in Every Phase of Case Face Is Immobile, but Gaze Tells Story of Deep Feeling of Man on Trial—A Study of Prisoner at Close Range. 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, § Swiss Hotels Refuse English Bank Checks Number of Swindle* Ha* Caused Boniface* to Insist on American Method of Paying Bill*.

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 a British ship by playing a fife and drum, giving tin 1 impression that the 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. weight. Randolph Hairdressing Parlors Atlanta, Qa. or direct from me.
