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 J.
