WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.—President

Committee of the .Senate to-night ex
actly what his plans are regarding

in “an ultimate continuity of exist

LONDON, Aug. 9.—“Within a
month after my arrival in New York
I expect to be able to prove by ac
tual demonstration that it is possi

ings to replace those lost.”
The speaker was Dr. A. L. Soresi,
of New York, the surgeon whose pa
per on the transfusion of blood
aroused great interest among the
members of the International Medical
Congress.
Asked for further details about the
latest marvel in surgery, the doctor
said: “I have already made exten
sive grafting experiments with ani
mals and with entire success. In
fact, there are several dogs running
around New York now with legs they
did not have when born.”
Two Anxious for Test.
Continuing the doctor said: “I have
not yet attempted to graft a limb on
any human being for the reason that
my experimental work was only just
satisfactorily concluded before leav
ing for London, but immediately on
my return I shall start preparation
for the first human test. I have al
ready two men who are willing and
anxious to submit themselves.”
Dr. Soresi added that the prepara
tions for the operations may take
place some time within a month.

Theory That Negro Attacked Mary
Phagan With Motive of Robbing
Her Will Be Shown; Two Charges
Against Accused Must Be Refuted.
By AN OLD POLICE REPORTER.
The second week of the trial of Leo Frank, charged with the
murder of Mary Phagan in the National Pencil Factory on the aft
ernoon of April 26, came to a close Saturday noon.
The State’s case has been entirely made up in its primary as
pects. and the defense has gone into its story of the great crime
sufficiently to make clear both its theory and probable line of
pleading.
The public, as the case has progressed, lias been swayed this
way and that, and to-day the remarkable mystery of Mary Phagan’s
untimely and tragic end remains,
in hundreds of minds, quite as
much of a mystery as ever.
The Battle Is a See-Saw.
The State has had its good
days and its bad days, and the
defense has met the same fate.
At times things have s«*med
dismally dark and gloomy for
Frank, while at other times, the
clouds apparently have lifted
from about him decidedly.
Guilt Will Be Fixed
On One of Two Men
This much has been made
elear: »
Either Leo Frank will be
shown to be responsible for the
death of Mary Phagan, or Jim
Conley will.
The one is the heart and soul
of the State’s contention, and
the other is the heart and soul
of the defense’s contention.
Frank is battling not only to
clear himself but to convict
Conley.
Conley is battling not only to
clear himself, but to convict
Frank.
The only difference is that Con
ley, although not yet indicted,
expects to be convicted as an ac
cessory after the fact of the
murder, in any event, whereas
Frank, alraedy indicted, ex
pects to come absolutely clear
and free of all possible connec
tion with the crime.
One of Good Name;
Of her’8 Past Shady
The one has a heretofore good
name to restore in all of its un
blemished integrity, the other
has merely his present reputa
tion for criminal inclination to
preserve against sinister enlarge
ment.
The issue has been sharply and
indelibly drawn—it is either Leo Frank’s life for Mary Phagan’s,
or it is Jim Conley’s.
The States has shown, or has endeavored to show the folliwing
things:
THAT Frank, shortly after noon on April 26, and before five
minutes past noon, lured Mary Phagan, for an immoral purpose,
to the rear of the second floor of the National Pencil Factory, and
there, because she would not yield to his desires and demands.)
he knocked her down and immediately thereafter strangled her to
death with a small cord, about one-eighth of an inch in thickness.
THAT after strangling her, Frank remained with her dead
body until after a girl caller in his office had departed, when he
tiptoed to the front of the floor whereupon the murder had been
consummated, and secured the help of a negro sweeper, Jim Conley,
employed about the place, to dispose of the body.
Disposition of the Body as
Shown by State’s Evidence
THAT Conley, under the direction of Frank, wrapped the
dead body in a piece of heavy cloth, carried it to the elevator, and
thence on the elevator to the basement, where it was placed in an
obscure corner in the rear, later to be found by Newt Lee, a negro
night watchman, generally held guiltless of direct connection with
the crime itself.
■ TEAT Frank, after hiding the body, with Conley’s assistance,
then induced Conley to write and place beside the dead girl cer
tain illiterate notes fixing the crime, in so far as they might, upon
some other person than either Frank or Conley, and that Frank,
for Conley’s services, paid him the sum of $2.50, but not until
