■N ' ' ’ * TTTE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. IS CERTAIN GF I--HEWILLGET EXPERT CONTRADICTS DR. HARRIS’TESTIMONY By JAMES B. NEVIN. i Header, proverbially gentle, if not [always so, be glad, be joyful, and be [filled with exceeding thankfulness [that you have not been summoned, pio matter which way, as a witness in [the Frank trial! I Of course, there is a large, fat [chance that you have been summoned I—most everybody has—but be all A hose nice things aforesaid, if you [haven’t. And even at that, knock on wood. The trial is young yet—it is not 'quite three weeks old, thrde weeks, count ’em—and there still is time for somebody or other to remember that you may know something or other about something or other that may have something or other to do with the c%se. Anyway, if you can’t bet glad and all the rest of it, be just as glad and as nearly all the rest of it as you can, while the being is good or in anywise promising. If you are a witness in the Frank c?.se,' vou are skating on about the thinnest ice ever—it makes no dif ference whatever whose pond you are skating on. You are ambrosia and cake to one side and you likewise are gall and wormwood to the other—be very sure of that! If your wife will have anything at all to do with you, and if the neigh bors loVe you any more, when you get back home, it will be entirely be cause one side or the other forgot to mention the fact that once upon a time you were a horse thief, or some body said you were a horse thief, or /that you had an uncle who was a J horse thief, or some pleasant little thing like that. They don’t care particularly wheth er you ever look like anything any more, after they get through with you down there in the big court now adays. Cross-Examining Is What Hurts. ALways on the direct examination, of course, the sledding is elegant. The gentlemanly party then asking i you gentlemanly questions wouldn’t hurt your feelings for tlje world. He knows you are a law-abiding citizen, and worthy of any trust. He dotes upon you. He loves you. He is your friend until that thing that now and then breaks loose in Geor gia freezes over! Mighty fine—but you haven’t yet discovered what’s coming to you! Wait until the cross-examining at torney gets you in his demoniac clutches! Far be it from him to remember that you have any kinfolks outside , the penitentiary, or that you ever told j a truth in your life, j He plainly but pointedly is perfect ly willing to bet, right there, that you couldn’t tell the truth in three trials, and h« will lay you big odds on it, moreover! Now, of course, the following is not precisely a sample of what has been going on in the courthouse of late, ever since the trial began, In fact, hut it is about the way it must seem to many witnesses and spectators to have been, after the day is over and they undertake to recall the things that transpired. “Mr. Witness,” begins the cross examiner, “you told the learned coun sel (sarcastic smile) upon the other side, I believe, that you saw an owl sitting on the hack fence about three minutes and two ticks past 8:34 on the night of the killing?” “Mr, Witness" needn’t be the least, tiny bit fooled by that "Mr.” busi ness—the cross-examiner would scorn to call a witness “Mister,” more than once—after that, it merely is | “you Smith,” or "Smith," or "Look here, now," or something snappy and snortish. Witness: “I said I thought it was ah owl—it looked like an owl.” Begins to Shake Finger. Attorney “W-H-A-T! Didn’t you j ,1ust now, in the presence of this eru- dite jury (shaking finger vigorously | under witness’ nose), swear positive- I |y (shake) and without reserve j (fehake), sir (shake, shake, shake), I that it WAS (shake) an OWL?” Witness: “Why-er-um-I couldn't $6 WRIGHTSVILLE REACH Round trip Saturday, August 23 Special train, sleepers and coaches. Leave Old Depot 6 p. m. SEABOARD. swear It was an owl exactly—It has big eyes, anyhow!” Attorney .‘‘Big eyes? B-A-H! Also B-A-H, B-A-H! Likewise B-A-H. B-A-H, B-A-H!! Then (very sarcas tically) it might have been a cat, eh?” Witness: “Well, sir (very apologet ically), I don’t think it was a cat—It didn’t say ‘Meow!’” Attorney: “Come, come, person, I don’t want to know what you THINK —how dare you think, anyway?—you didn’t hank around there to HEAR whether it said ‘Meow,’ did you?” Witness: “No, sir (very much abashed); I admit I didn’t hang around. Owls make me nervous, any way!” Attorney: “I’ve no doubt (sardonic smile) they make you nervous! By the way, person, didn’t one of your honorable ancestors (profound sar casm) come over to this country with j Captain Kidd, the well-known pi rate?” Witness: “Urn, oh, I ” Attorney: “Come, come now, an swer me; speak right out; tell the truth, if you CAN: did he?” Dra~s Wife Into Mix-Up. Witness; “I really can not say, sir. You see that’s been so long ago, and | I wasn’t there, either, and ” Attorney: “Well, you won’t (more j finger shaking under witness’ nose) | DENY* that one of your ancestors t may have been a pirate, will you?” j Witness: “I-er-hum-can’t say. I’T ask my wife when I get home. May be she knows.” Attorney: “You’ll ask you wife, wil’ you? Is she your OWN wife?” Here the Pleasant Lawyer gets up, and says: “Your honor, I object to that ques tion. What has a man’s own wife got to do with this case?” His honor doesn’t answer right off the reel, so the other lawyer jumps up and withdraws the question. This makes the witness feel pret ty good, for he knew he had a wife when he left home that morning, but he doubts that he can swear positive ly to any such circumstance now. Attorney, beginning oross-examina - tion once more: “Let’s go back to that owl. What sort of an owl was it, (more sarcasm) it WAS an owl?” Witness: “It LOOKED like a screech owl.” Attorney: “Well, a screech owl goes ‘screech’ and a hoot-owl goes ‘hotf,’ doesn’t It?” Witness: “I am not sure, sir. I think that’s the way it is. I don’t know much about owls.” Misleading the Poor Jury? • Attorney, shocked almost speech less: “And here you have been telling this poor, unprotected, orphaned jifry, these swell, elegant gentlemen, ALL about owls, and now you say you don’t know anything about them.” Witness: “Well, ah. oh, I sup ” Attorney: “Don’t you know an ow! is a member of the striges family?” Witness: “Of the Who-ges fam ily?” Attorney: “Come, now, don’t get gay with me, atom. Don’t you know the owl is a member of the striges family?” Witness: “Never met such a fam ily. They don’t live on my side of town.” Attorney: “Well', if you saw in the big dictionary that the owl is of 9uch a family, would you say it was true?” Witness, perking up a bit: “If I saw it in t the city directory, I might believe it, but what’s the dictionary' got to do with it?” Attorney, waxing superlatively sar castic: “Will you. speck on the face of creation, kindly permit ME to ask the questions? All I ask of you is that you let ME do that, then YOU answer, if you CAN.” Then the Pleasant Lawyer gets up again. It Certainly is a relief to a witness when the P. L. arises to ejeculate a few broken observations. He is the only rainbow in sight, once things get going. Pleasant Lawyer: “Your honor. I submit that the big dictionary itself is the highest evidence of what the big dictionary says. If the learned counsel on th© other side (great gobs, clusters and festoons of sar casm) wishes to know WHAT the big dictionary says about owls, screech or otherwise, let him tender the BIG DICTIONARY, and stop snarling and beefing at this gentle manly. talented, honest and excep tionally bright witness!” The witness thanks the pleasant lawyer for them kind words, all right.

Witness: “No, sir; the one I use is over in the State Library.” Pleasant Lawyer: “Now, then, your honor, since this accommodating witness has answered the questions. I move that the able (withering con tempt) counsel on the other side be required to bring the State Library into court, or shut off their questions about owls. I move to strike from the record exerything this down trodden witness has said about owls, unless the State Library be brought over and handed to the jury for in spection.” Mean Attorney: “Does your honor mean to tel] me—ME—that I must bring the entire State Library' into court, in order to prove that an ow! is a member of the striges family merely because this stubborn and evidently partisan witness will not say?” His honor, sighing, patiently: "Well, gentlemen, what has this aforesaid and hereinbefore mentioned owl TO DO WITH THIS CASE, ANYWAY?” Mean Attorney, getting red in the face, probably about to explode with righteous indignation: "Wh^t has it to DO with the case? Why, your honor, opposing counsel brought out the question of owls. Didn’t this witness, brazenly and w’ith palpa ble malice aforethought, say to this grand and magnificent jury that when he went home last Thanksgiving night h<i saw an owl sitting on the back fence ?” , Pleasant Attorney': “1 don’t think the gentleman said Thanksgiving night; I think it tvas Christmas. It makes a lot of difference in the mat ter of seeing things at night, as your honor may know, or—er—may have heard, whether it be Thanksgiving or Christmas. Besides, he didn t say' he saw an owl sitting on the back fence He merely' said he w'ent home that night on an owl car.” Everything about owls, the owl car and the back fence is ruled out, and the Mean Lawyer sits down, evident ly greatly chagrined and angered. And the witness? About all the witness hopes as he leaves the stand is that his wife a' home—if she’s still there—loves him. anyway, and will continue to think well of him hereafter, notwithstand ing the fact that he has been a wit ness in Atlanta’s most famous mur der trial. It makes no difference whatever which side summons you to testify in the Frank case, it's tough luck! You can’t win.

Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment Cured. iO. tJ People’s Cry for Justice Is Proof Sentiment Still Lives By L. F. WOODEUFF. There Is as much sentiment in the world to-day a*- there was in 1 SCI or 1776 or 1492 or 1066 or any other date that may come to your recollec tion. It’s not fashionable to say so, but it’s true. People to-day are too prone to accuse themselves and their neigh, bors of being worshippers of Mam mon and declaring that the money- grubbing instinct has crushed out sentiment, patriotism and honesty. But right now in Atlanta, there is a striking example of the goodness that is man’s to-day, just as much as it has ever been. It is the one bright spot in the hid eous slaying of Mary Phagan and the terrors of the trial of Leo Frank. More people are interested in the case probably than in any criminal action the South has ever known. They are thrilled by it, for they knew that the officers of the law and the Government of the State are spend ing thousands of dollars to find the man guilty of her murder and punish him. Had Mary Phagan been of a promi nent house, had she been wealthy, had her family or friends been ln- fluenti.il there would be no room for comment. The cynic could say, "Oh, she was a rich giri, what chance would there be for a child of the masses?” But the Phagan case gives this the lie. Mary Phagan’s family is not wealthy. It is not prominent. It is not influential. And still the great public has arisen with a demand that can be heard the length and breadth of the nation that her slayer be found and punished. Had Mary Phagan been a princess of Peachtree instead of just a little Atlanta girl—as good as she was pretty—who had to struggle to make her living, the sentiment would not have been half so fervid. The sympathy that has gone out to her and her family is a lasting proof of Atlanta’s and the South’s de mocracy. GRADE ADDED TO SCHOOLS. ACWORTH.—At a meeting of the board of education to-day it was or dered that an additional grade b** added to the Acworth High Scho >1 and the Smith Lemon Institute, and that the school be made to conform to all the requirements to become a State accredited school. R. F D. No. 2. Box 67, Elltjay. Ga. — “My son's ringworm began on the back of his hand A fiery red spot came about large as a dime and it would itch so badly he would scratch it till it bled. It began to spread till it went all over his hand. He would just scream every time I went to wash it. The .nail came off on the middle finger. “I used and it got worse all the time. The trouble lasted two or three months, then l sent and got some Cuticura Soap and Oint ment and began to use them. I would wash his hand with the Cuticura Soap and dry it good and apply the Cuticura Ointment. Relief was found in two or three days and the ringworm was cured in two weeks after using Cuticura Soap and Ointment. ” (Signed) Josie Parks. Jan. 4. 1913. Not only are Cuticura Soap and Ointment most valuable in the treatment of eczemas and other distressing eruptions of skin and scalp, but they are also most affective in the treatment of pimples, blackheads, red, rough skins, itching, scaly scalps, dandruff, dry. thin and falling hair, chapped hands and shapeless nails. A single cake of Cuti cura Soap (26a.) and box of Cuticura Oint ment (50c.) are often sufficient when all else has failed. Sold by druggists and dealers throughout the world. Liberal sample of each mailed free, with 32-p. Skin Book. Address post-card "Cuticura, Dept. T, Boston.” J6^*Men who shave and shampoo with Cu ticura Soap will find It best for skin and scalp.

THIN FOR YEARS~“GAINS 22 POUNDS IN 23 DAYS” Remarkable Experience of F. Gagnon. Builds Up Weight Wonderfully. “I wan all run down to the very bottom,” writes F. Gagnon. ‘I had to quit work. I was so weak. Now, thanks to Sargol, I look like a new man. I gained 22 pounds in 23 day's.” “Sargol has put 10 pounds on me In 14 days,” states W. D. Roberts “It has made me sleep well, enjoy what I ate and enabled me to work with In terest and pleasure.” “I weighed 132 pounds when I com menced taking Sargol. After taking 20 days I weighed 144 pounds. Sargol is the most wonderful preparation for flesh building I have ever seen.” de clares D. Martin, and J. Meier adds: “For the past twenty years 1 have taken medicine every day for indi gestion and got thinner every year. I took Sargol for forty days and feel better than I have felt in twftnty years. My weight has increased from 150 to 170 pounds.” When hundreds of men and women —and there are hundreds, with more coming every day—living in every nook and corner of this broad land, voluntarily testify to weight increases ranging all the way from 10 to 35 pounds, given them by Sargol, you must admit. Mr. and Mrs. and Miss Thin Reader, that there must be something in this Sargol method of flesh-building after all. Hadn’t you better look into it, just as thousands of others have done? Many thin folks say: “I’d given most anything to put on a little extra weight.” but when someone suggests a way they exclaim. “Not a chance. Nothing will make me plump. I’m built to stay thin.” Until you have tried Sargol. you do not and can not know that this is true. Sargol has put pounds of healthy “stay there” flesh on hundreds who doubted and In spite of their doubts. You don’t have to believe in Sargol to grow plump from its use. You just take it and watch weight pile up. hollows vanish and your figure round out to pleasing and normal proportions. You weigh yourself when you begin and again when you finish and you let the scales tc!! the story. Sargol is absolutely harmless. It Is a tiny concentrated tablet. You take one wdth every meal. It mixes with the food you eat for the purpose of separating all of its flesh-producing ingredients. It prepares these fat making elements In an easily assimi lated form, which the blood can r^ad- iljf absorb and carry all over your body. Plump, well-developed person* don’t need Sargol to produce this re sult. Their assimilative machinery performs its functions without aid. But thin folks' assimilative organs do not. This fatty portion of their food now goes to waste through their bod ies like unburned coal through an open grate. A few days’ test of Sargol in your case will surely prove whether or not this is true of you. Isn't It worth trying? 50c BOX FREE To enable any thin reader, ten pounds or more under weight, to easily make this test we will give a 50r box of Sargol alwolutely free.
