FRANK BREAKS DOWN IN COURT +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•* +•4- +•+ Judge, Favoring Defense, Reserves Decision As To Striking Out Testimony m GREETS \ WITHSTAND FIERCE * l f i i ♦ A l J F RACING RESULTS Reuben Arnold created a sensation at the opening of Tuesday afternoon’s session of the Frank trial by making a motion that all of the revolting testimony con cerning Leo Frank’s alleged conduct before the day of Mary Phagan’s murder be stricken out of the records. He also demanded that all of Jim Conley’s testimony in reference to watching at the door at Frank’s direction be expunged except the time he claims he watched on the day Mary Phagan was killed. The contention resulted in practically a complete victory for the defense after a bitter legal battle. Judge Roan said that he would exclude from the records everything bearing on these al leged instances, except the negro’s testimony as to what occurred on the aceual day of the crime. He said, however, he would hold himself ready to reverse his decision until he made his announoe- •mbnt to the jury Wednesday morning. As the charges of degeneracy were being hurled at her hus band by the Solicitor, young Mrs. Frank hung her head and finally unable to endure the ordeal longer left the courtroom. When she returned, her eyes were red and her cheeks flushed as from weep ing. She breathed heavily and appeared to be making a brave | effort to regain her composure. It was the first time she had broken down during the long trial. Frank’s mother left her place, a look] of utter, wearied misery in her eyes, but a determination to be brave in every line of her face. Attorney Arnold asked the judge to strike out not only all' the testimony in direct examination in reference to Frank’s al leged conduct, but also all that has come out in cross-examination.! DORSEY FIGHTS FOR TESTIMONY. Solicitor Dorsey insisted that the testimony was admissible and should remain in the records. “We expect to sustain this man in all the charges he has made against the defendant,’’ declared the Solicitor. “We have other witnesses to establish the facts. We will bring them into this courtroom. “This motion by the attorney for the defense is merely a trick to prevent us from bringing in these witnesses. “The testimony is admissible because it indicates the very purpose, motive and intent the defndant had in getting that poor little girl into the metal room. It is admissible as indicat ing a general practice or course of conduct. The importance of this evidence, disgusting and abhorrent though it may be, is going to be made more manifest as the case proceeds.’’ It was at this point that Mrs. Frank left the courtroom. Arnold’s ground for the motion was that it was placing the defendant on trial for a crime other than the one for which he was indicted. He branded the negro as a base liar and a miserable wretch. Conley listened to the tirade unaffected. , The startling testimony was brought out during the day thit Conley entered the factory before either Mary Phagan or 'Monteen Stover entered the building. Quinn in his statement to the officers and before the Coro ner’s inquest declared that he came into the factory between 12:20 and 12:25. The negro’s statement contradicts this utterly. Either Conley is lying again or Quinn is mistaken. Solicitor Dorsey announced that he was ready to put Dalton, the mysterious man mentioned in Conley’s story, on the stand to corroborate the most revolting of the negro’s charges. He said he might also call Daisy Hopkins, the girl mentioned as a visitor to Frank's office. The Solicitor said he had both wit nesses where he could locate them. STILL CLINGS TO MAIN STORY. Conley, questioned and coaxed and wheedled and bullied for & total of nearly 11 hours, was still clinging tenaciously to his accusations against the factory superintendent when Rosser began his last desperate attack upon the negro’s story Tuesday after noon. He admitted that he had lied without count. He admitted that he lied in his first, second, and even his third affidavits, the last of which had been described by the detectives as “the w^iole truth.’’ He confessed that he had lied for no reason in particular while he was making his third affidavit. But every effort to force him to admit that he had lied when ae said that Frank killed the girl and asked him to dispose of the Continued on Page 2, Column 1. AT SARATOGA.

This Government to Take Advan tage of Forfeited Bond to Remove Revolt Leader, BRUNSWICK, GA., Auer. 5.—While taking the United States cruiser De» Moines to the sea. the Brunswick harbor pilot was sitting In the pilot house and overheard the secretary of the American legation at Laguayra, Venezuela, tell Commander Long of the cruiser that he was going down to Venezuela to bring General Castro back to the United States.

Welcomed by Governor Slaton and Mayor Woodward, the Southern Mer chants’ Convention opened Tuesday morning in Taft Hall at the Audito rium with an excellent attendance. How to Induce the Southern farm ers to desert the one-crop Idea was the topic for Tuesday's session, and !t was taken up from all angles. J. W. Vaughn, of Cartersvllle, Qa., took up the subject as a whole. Yancey Hill, of Montezuma, urged that the merchants set the farmers an exam ple, as the merchants own a large proportion of the farm lands In the State. James R. Bachman, of the Atlanta Milling Co., spoke on the marketing of the surplus of grain. W. H. White, Jr., of the White Provision Co., spoke on cattle and hogs a* a by-product of the farm, and Joseph A. McCord, vice president of the Third National Bank, emphasized the fact that greater stability of cred it would result from diversified farm ing. An "Open Parliament’’ or gen eral debate followed, each speaker being allowed five minutes. Theater Reserved for Them. The delegates, who come from Georgia and surrounding States, at tend the Forsyth Theater to-night, the entire house having been reserv ed for them. Registration began this morning at 7 o’clock, and continued steadily throughout the morning. Early in dications are that the attendance will reach 4,000 as a total for the two weeks of the convention. Bishop W. A. Candler delivered the invocation, in which h P extolled the j spiritual significance of commerce. Governor Slaton said a welcome to merchants had been extended by Georgia in 1799, when the Great Seal of the State was made to bear a de sign of ships loading for export, to gether with tilled fields, an armed man and a representation of the prin ciples of government. This was sym bolic, he said, of the fact that while commerc© and agriculture thrive, the welfare of the State is assured. Called Optimists of State. "I welcome you, gentlemen, because you are the optimists of the State,” he said, "and because you teach in forceful manner the benefits of the stern virtue of economy.” Mayor Woodward seconded the Governor’s welcome, and took occa sion to refer to the principal topic for the day. The farming regions might well pattern after Atlanta’s success, he said, and Atlanta’s greatness is built, not on one great industry, but upon the diversity of its employ ments. R. O. Crouch, of Griffin, responded to the address of welcome with a felicitous speech. J. W. Vaughn, of Cartersville, took up elaborately the subject of soil ex haustion. The theory that soil can be destroyed has been exploded, he said, but it has been established that fertile fields can be injured by abuse. He urged careful study of the Sci ence of farming, in distinction to the art of farming. Incidentally, he char acterized many of the farm demon stration agents as inefficient. Plea to Country Merchants. Yancey Hill, of Montezuma, declared that his investigations show that 50 per cent of the farm lands of the State are owned by countr> mer chants. These men, he said, should set an example for the farmers by raising a diversity of crops them selves, instead of encouraging big cotton crops as now. Mr. Bachman said that his mill, with a capacity of 42.000,000 bushels of corn a year, ground not a single bushel of Georgia corn in 1912, de spite the fact that Georgia corn is the best in the world for milling. "1 think my subject is a joke," he said. "I am asked to sit beside a man who makes $1,600 and spends $2,000 and tell him how to invest his surplus However, the future may bring bet ter things." Mr. McCord’s address derided the I notion that cotton is any better basis for credit than the general products of the farm, and pointed out how safety lies in diversity, so that the failure of one crop will not mean widespread disaster.
