I 2 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRANK SPENDS HALF HOUR STUDYING PENCIL FACTORY MODEL Wife and Mother Kiss Prisoner as Trial Opens Upon Its Third Week GRILLIi OF ASSISTANT E EXPERT TIES STAND Continued From Page 1. Frank and C. E. Ersenbach Friday afternoon in which Frank said he would try to get his work in shape in time to go to the baseball game on the following day. It was the implication of the Solicitor that Frank had hurried through with his work Saturday morning and, as a matter of fact, had it completed or nearly com pleted before the afternoon. Finishing with this line of ques tioning, the Solicitor began an attack on the time element which the de fence has introduced in the trial. Dorsey questioned Schiff at length as to the accuracy of the clock in the office floor, with the apparent inten tion of arguing that when Monteen Stover came into the factory and saw the clock hands pointing to 12:05 o’clock, the correct time really might have been 12:12 or 12:15 after Mary Phagan entered the factory and went to Frank’s office. Schiff maintained that the clock always was kept on time by W. and A. yard whistles. Mrs. Frank at Office. On the redirect examination Schiff said that the financial sheet always was made up Saturday afternoon, and never in the morning. He said the correspondence and entering and acknowledgment of orders always were taken care of in the forenoon. Attorney Arnold also brought out the testimony that Frank’s wife fre quently came to the factory Saturday afternoons to help her husband in stenographic work. Schiff explained keeping Jim Con ley in the employ in the factory after discovering his unreliability by say ing that it was difficult to teach new negroes the work. He denied that he ever had tried to discharge Conley and that Frank had prevented it. Frank’s Aunt in Court. Mrs. Jacob Selig. aunt of Leo Frank, was the third woman visitor of his family to the court Monday morning She had a seat near the prisoner and his mother and wife. Before court convened Frank asked permission to examine the paper mod el of the National Pencil Company that had been offered in evidence by the defense. He spent some SO min utes closely examining this model. Frank was in court early. His wife and mother came In and kissed him, taking seats on either side of him. It was reported around the court room that the Jury would be taken to visit the National Pencil Company building. Attorney Reuben Arnold for the defense said *hat he personally would be very glad for the Jury to make the examination.

Just before Schiff was recalled to the stand Mr. Arnold announced that Miss Hattie Hall, stenographer for Montag Brothers, who was at the factory Saturday, April 26, to take some dictation from Frank, probably would be the next witness. Solicitor Dorsey resumed hiB cross-examina tion of Schiff Schiff’s "Darta" Puzzles Dorsey. Q. Mr. Schiff, of course you don’t know to your personal knowledge that this finance sheet wan made up on Saturday?—A. It couldn’t hav e been made up before. Q. Why?—A. I had not accumu lated the "darta” (data) Friday, as I always did. • Q. The what?—A. The data (pro nouncing it as though it were "darta.”) Mr. Arnold Interrupted: "He means data.” * Mr. Dorsey raid he didn't know whether Schiff meant data or some sort of sheet he was accustomed to making out. Q Couldn’t you take the data gath ered by Miss Eula May Flowers and the others and have gotten up this sheet?—A. I think I might have. Frank Not an Expert, He Says. Q. You haven't made up one since Frank left?—A. No; simply because wo have not had time. Q. Don’t you consider him an ex pert?—A. I do not. Q Go ahead and tell me what he would have to know.—A. The slat record. Q. Is that here?—A. No. Q. Can you get me a slat record?— A. Yes. Q. Well you got one and bring It back here. Now, is the slat record more complicated than this forelady’s report?—A. It is a great long sheet. Dorsey Questions Sharply. Q. Tell me the truth. Is it more complicated?—A. I am telling you the truth. Mr. Dorsey. Q. Well, doesn't he Just take the total from all the reports?—A. No, he has to do some figuring and other work. Q. Well, what else?—A. He has to get the tipping record and several others. Q. Do you moan to tell me, then, that the totals in these reports and the body of the report are not the same handwriting?—A. I do. Q. Now this financial sheet? Do you rrrean to tell me It is all in the same handwriting?—A. It certainly is. Q. You are sure of it?—A. Yes. Could Have Done It in Two Hours. Q. Now, entering all these eleven orders and this financial sheet, was that all Frank had to do that Satur day?—A. All I can think of. Q. Do you know that it was done Saturday?—A. No, but it was not done Friday, and he did not work on it then. Q. When did you see this work?—A. Sometime Monday or Tuesday. Q. Now, could Frank have done this work between 8:30 and 10:30 o’clock that morning?—A. Yes, if he was not interrupted. Q. Well, didn’t you tell us Saturday that Frank could do that work in one and one-half hours?—A. I did not. Q. Well, all the work you know that was done there Saturday was the financial*sheet and entering those orders?—A. So far as I know Orders in Frank’s Writing. Q Were you paid off April 26?— No. Q. Was Frank?—A. No. Q. Now, are you quite sure Frank entered those orders?—A. They are in his handwriting. Q. Now, it took about two minutes to put down these things and a min ute to add them over?—A. Yes. Q. Will you look there and tell me whether there is an entry on April 26 for $2 advanced Arthur White?—• A. It iR not on this book; it is on the time book. Q Who entered it?—A. Mr. Frank. Q. Have you got the receipt for $2? —A. I can get it. Q. Who made note of that on the record?—A. Mr. Frank did. I entered it on the time book the following week. Mr. Arnold interrupted. "You had | better make a note of these various things Mr. Dorsey wants," he said. No Record of Orders. "I know exactly what he wants." replied Schiff. Dorsey continued the examination. Q Ts there any record on this financial sheet of the orders you said came in on Saturday?—A No. Q. You told Mr Arnold there was? A. I told him that as a rule there was. Q. But there is no record here?— A. I was telling Mr. Arnold what Mr. Frank did on Saturday. I don’t see any place on the financial sheet for It. Q. Now tell this Jury what there Is to show that these orders did not come In before Saturday, April 26.—■ A. They were not there Friday night. I had looked through the files. Q. Was there any reason why the sheet had to be at Montag’s Monday? •—A. It was our custom. Q. Mr. Frank was a man who al ways stuck to his business? He would never go away unless his busi ness was up?—A. Yes. Q. Mr. Schiff, didn’t you swear be fore the Coroner that it would take two hours and thirty minutes to get up the data and make up the sheet?— A. I may have misunderstood the question. I say now that it would have taken from two and one-half to three hours. Frank Fatter Than He It. Q. If he had an engagement and wanted to speed up. couldn’t he do It within two and one-half hours?— A. Not and make it look the same. Q. Is Frank a faster man than you? —A. Yes. He is a faster man on a financial sheet. Q. Didn’t you swear before the Coroner that Frank could have gotten the sheet up thirty minutes quicker than you?—A. I could not have speci fied any time. I have never made up the sheet. Q. Then you deny this statement before the Coroner?—A. No, I didn’t deny it. It is not in my exact lan guage. Q. How long did you say it would take Frank to balance the $69 in petty cash?—A. That is hard to say. I think I said before the Coroner that it woud have taken from one to one and one-half hours. Q. How do you remember where you wore last Thanksgiving?—A. One thing I intended to do was to go to Athens to attend a football game. It snowed. The B’Nai Brith had an affair that night. I helped Mr. Frank carry some packages there. Q. Do you mean to tell the Jury that you recall every Saturday?—A. I re call that I have never missed a day since my vacation. Tells of Thanksgiving Day. Q. Do you know what time you left the factory tt)at Thanksgiving Day? —A. Yes; I left with FYank at 12:30. He went home. Q. Do you know whether he went back that afternoon?—A.

No. Q Now, how do you recall that Hel en 4forguson came there Friday?—A. I Just remember it. Q. Well, who else came?—The wit ness enumerated fifteen other em ployees. Q.

The defense will offer the “finds’’ to the jury without making any great claims for their importance or genuineness. long time n^o. About the first time I ever spoke to him. Q. And you continued to keep him? —A. We moved him from the elevator to the fourth floor. Q. Whom did you tell he was worth less?—A. It was talked to me. Q. By w’hom?—A. Schiff named a long list of employees who had com plained about Conley borrowing mon ey and being worthless. Q. Didn’t you complain to Frank about him, and did Frank overrule you?—A. Mr. Frank is not over me. Q. Did you have the authority to fire Jim Conley?—A. I did. Q. If he was so worthless, why didn’t you fire him?—A. It was so hard to get a negro who knew any thing about the work. Q. And you kept him there for two years?—A. He was in the chaingang two or three times. Saw Conley on Chaingang. Q. How do you know?—A. I saw him once working on Forsyth street in front of the factory. Q. You swear that he was on the chaingang two or three times?—A. Women came to me once or twice to get money to pay him out. Q. Out of what?—A. The chaingang or the calaboose. I am not versed in those things. Q. Why did you swear he was on the chaingang three times? Arnold interrupted: "Your honor, I object. He doesn't cross-examine a •witness. He Just quarrels with him. The best evidence of Conley’s stock ade career is the record.” Dorsey—I have got the record, and I am going to introduce it. That is why I want to pin this witness down. Judge Roan ruied the witness must answer the question, but the witness should not be any more explicit. Knew Conley Could Write. Q. If any of these books got down into the basement, they went into the trash, didn’t they?—A. Yes. Q. Now, these other books?—A. They w r ere kept all ov^r the place. We gave them to the negroes. Q. Just who did you give them to? —A. I gave one to Jim Conley. He wanted to write home. Q. Then you knew he could write? —A. Yes. Q. Didn’t you knew his home was right here?—A. I did not. Q. What did these negroes do with these pads when you gave them to them?—A. They got on the elevator and went to the basement to write. Q. How did they get light?—A. In front of the boiler. Q. Did you ever see Conley there? —A. Yes. Q. Now, Frank was very anxious to have the Pinkertons at work?—A. Yes. Q. When did you report Conley’s strange action to the Pinkertons or the police?—A. I don’t recall. Q. Did you report it to Mr. Frank? He was anxious to have the murderer caught?—A. I think so. Arnold Balks at Hurrying. Q. Now, where would a person have to stand on the fourth floor to see the office floor?—A. He could not. Q. Where were Denham and White on the fourth floor?—A. I was told Q. Then don’t bother. Were you at the factory whep detectives made certain experiments with the eleva tor?—A. Yes. Arnold then took the witness on the redirect examination. Judge Roan said: “Hurry up, Mr Arnold.” ^ Rosser spoke up: "Your honor, time should not be considered. A man's life is at stake.” Judge Roan: "Go ahead.” Q. Was that sheet usually made up in the morning or afternoon?—A Afternoon. Q. Now, is it not a fact that Frank is interrupted almost constantly by salesmen or employees who have some adjustment of their pay envel ope to request?—A. Yes, quite a few interruptions. Q.

In the morning. Mor© About Financial Sheet. Q. Was the financial sheet ever made up in the morning?—A. No. Q.

My original estimate—six hours Q. Is this financial sheet of April 26 any different from the reports of three months previous?—A. It Is not. Q. Mr. Dorsey asked you whether these initials. "H. Hof April 26 did not mean the last work that was done on that sheet? That it might have been entered two or three days before? Now, what does it really mean?—A. Nothing, really. Those initials and that date would have been there if it had been entered Satur- Huerta Expected to Accede to the Peace Proposals Brought by Special Envoy of U S. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. MEXICO (VTY, Aug. 11.—With John Lind, special diplomatic envoy from the United States, safely arriv ing in the capital, the first real step in President Wilson’s program for the pacification of Mexico so as to njake intervention unnecessary was taken today when Mr. Lind turned over to Nelson O’Shaughnessy, Charge d’Af- faires of the United States Embassy, a note from President Huerta so that it might be handed to the Mexican Government through the regular dip lomatic channels. However, a supplementary mes sage, explaining Mr. Lind’s presence here and assuring President Huerta of the peaceful nature of his visit probably will be tendered personally by Mr. Lind to the Mexican execu tive. Although no hostile demonstration attended the arrival here late last night of Mr. Lind from Vera Cruz, nevertheless there was an undercur rent of feeling which caused at taches of the United States Embassy to warn Mr. Lind to be on guard for his life. Lind Offered Special Guard. Out of common courtesy the mu nicipal authorities at the behest of President Huerta, offered to place secret police at the disposal of the special envoy for his own safety. Huerta’s next move in the diplo matic contest with the United States will be awaited with keen interest to day. Those who have believed all along that the Mexican President has been carrying on a monumental bluff in his defense of the United States look now for him to crumple up and accede to proposals which are brought here by th e American envoy for the pacification of the country. It was reported that Huerta was ready to accede to every proposal made by President Wilson through Mr. Lind on condition that the State Department at Washington promised to recognize the Mexican regime of ficially later. On the other hand Huerta’s radical advisers are counseling him to make his next protest against "outside in terference’’ an ultimatum containing the demand that Mr. Lind be recalled without delay. Curious Seek Sight of Lind. Curious crowds gathered in front of the United States Embassy building to get a glimpse of the one-armed special envoy. Tales of Mr. Lind’s aggressiveness had preceded him here. Mr. Lind is accompanied by Mrs. Lind, Dr. William Bayard Hale, a spe cial investigator of the Department of Justice, and William Canada, United States Consul at Vera Cruz. That Mr. Lind expects his visit to be short was shown by the fact that he brought very little baggage, unless more is to be sent here from Vera Cruz later. Asked for an expression, Mr. Lind replied: "Any message from me is for official ears only.” N. A. Jennings, an American, the Mexican correspondent of the Hearst papers, and Marvin Fee, another man, were arrested Just as the Lind party entered this city. day, regardless of the date it was acknowledged by Miss Hall. Dorsey Objects to Slur. Q. Now, Mr. Schiff (I am going to call him Mister. I am not as fa miliar with him as Mr. Dorsey seems to be. He calls him "Schiff” all the time), you say the murder caused you to remember paying off Helen Fer guson on Friday?—I said that. Dorsey objected. Judge Roan sustained the objection. Mr. Arnold put the question in a different form, and received the same answer. Q. Mr. Schiff, this diagram (point ing to the prosecution’s diagram of the factory) does not show the open ings into the Clark woodenware de partment, does it?—A. It does not. Q. Mr. Schiff, it is rather unpleas ant to fire a negro and then have to hire a new one and teach him the \Vork, is it?—A. It is. Hooper interrupted: "Your honor, if he is not leading this witness, I do not know what you would call it.” Judge Roan sustained the objection, and Mr. Arnold again changed his question. Didn’t Know of Detectives’ Hunt. Q. Mr. Schiff, you didn’t know the detectives were trying to find out if C6nley could write?—A. Not for some time. Q. Mr. Schiff, did Mr. Dorsey sub- pena you to come to his office, and did you know you didn’t have to go? —A. Yes; I was subpenaed—he tele phoned me. Q. Do you know where the sacks in which you keep the cotton were kept? —A. Just outside the metal room. Q. Were there any empty sacks there?—A. I don’t know. We never keep empty ones there except for a fw hours after they are empty. Dorsey took the witness on the re- cross-examination. REAL SNAKE KILLING. DUBLIN.—W. L. Moye and N. T.

BUCHAREST, Aug. 11.—Instead of being broken up by the second Bal kan war, the Balkan league, which formerly included Bulgaria, Servia, Greece and Montenegro, will probab ly be continued in force, with Rou- mania taking the place of Bulgaria. Telegrams received to-day from Bel grade, Athens and Cettinje indicated that the governments at those seats favored the project. Owing to Bulgaria’s disinclination to accept defeat at the hands of her former allies, the resumption* of hos tilities at a later date is accepted as a foregone conclusion.

Hatfield shot and killed Will Par rish in North Dalton on the night of July 12.

Isidor Straus Left Estate of $4,565,000 NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—Isidor Straus, merchant and philanthropist, who lost his life in the Titanic dis aster left an estate valued at $4,565,- 000. His wife. Mrs. Ida Straus, who perished with him rather than be saved, left an estate of $325,000. The six children of the Titanic vic tims arfe the sole heirs of the two estates. night sessions of the House last week, but each time they were lost in & maze of motions that turned the ef forts into a joke. It is probable that a motion for a night session of the House last Friday night, made by ♦ Slater of Bryan, would have prevailed had not Picquet of Richmond poked fun at the motion and offered as a substitute that the House convene at 12:30 and remain in session until daybreak. Tax Fight in Prospect. A resumption of the fight for tax reform, defeated in the House by the forces of Sheppard of Sumter and Stovall of Elbert, is expected to en liven the closing days of the session. After a battle that has been more or less in evidence throughout the entire session, and which has had an effect on practically all measures intro duced, the House passed what is known as the Sheppard substitute <o the original Lipscomb and Ways and Means Committee bill. The substitute is regarded as ab solutely useless so far as reforming the taxation system of the State is concerned, and it is considered obtain that it will be defeated in the Senate. The Senate committee in charge, of the bill already has prepared a sub stitute to the Sheppard bill, which provides for a State Tax Commission er instead of only the county boards of the Sheppard bill. This substitute, when it comes back to the House, is expected to precipi tate a fight as great or even greater than that which developed over the original bill. It is generally under stood that the forces of Mr. Sheppard and Mr. Stovall will fight to the limit any attempt to pass a real tax revi sion measure, and friends of the Sen ate substitute are just as determined that it shall pass. The House during the closing days of the session also will have an op portunity to pass two administration measures which were defeated last week by the "dry-anti-tax reform combine.” Fullbright of Burke secured on Friday a reconsideration of the ac tion of the House in defeating the two bills, which provide for consti tutional amendments limiting the school levy to 2 1-2 mills and the pen sion levy to 1 1-2 mills, and it is the 1 intention of the Rules Committee to place them on the calendar for con sideration before the close of the ses sion. Committee to Rush Bills. Akin of Glenn, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee and a member of the Rules Committee, said $ Saturday that the committee will en- 1 deavor to have them ready for the House either Monday or Tuesday. With the backbone of the combine broken through the efforts of Speak er Burwell, who has been trying throughout the session to put through a program of constructive legislation, indications are that the amendments will pass and that the people will have an opportunity to vote upon them at the next election. The amendment bills require a two-thirds vote to pass, and lacked only sixteen votes of ob taining the majority when they were defeated. Many of the members of the House have gone to Speaker Bur- well and assured him that they will reverse their vote when the bills are brought up again for consideration. It is understood that efforts will also be made to obtain a reconsidera tion of the action of the House in de feating Governor Slaton’s bills pro viding for an extra tax levy in 1915 and 1916. and it is thought if the efforts are successful, this bill also will pass. The three bills* have been introduced into the Senate, and it is probable that they will be passed simultaneous ly by both branches of ihe Legisla ture. Whether any more efforts will be made to bring out the Hixon-Searcy bill, which occasioned one of the most bitter fights of the session in the House last week, is not known.
