«;nly *o/Frank, but to the:State also.

trial .should be largely an abstract
proposition. *»-

It. is the. duty—the sworn duty—of
the Solicitor to prosecute with vALL
the vigor and resourcefulness at his

did not do that, in the Frank -case,
the State .would not be getting a
square deal. And it is quite as much
the province of Dorsey to see. that
the. State lets a .square deal .as ii is
that Luther Rosser and. Reuben Ar

As much may be said of ..Frank
flooper, Dorsey’s splendidly equipped
assistant.
'■K ■ t •
In making out his case against
Frank, Dorsey took his time—he em
ployed ten days establishing his con
tentions, before he closed.
He was right in doing that, if it
required, in his matured judgment,
that much time. It was clearly in
order 'for Frank’s friends, his rela-
, t!Ves, ami fof Frank himself, to pos
sess their souls in patience while the
State's counsel—t^p people’s advo
cate^—Was doing his duty.
No foufbblincj Over Expense.
Th’A defense will take quite as long
' -—peHiaps .longer—and that, too, is as
it should *be, however much we may
wish to see things hurried a bit.
Neither the State of Georgia nor
"‘the county of Fulton will quibble
about' the expense of the trial, nor
the' time" of it, particularly in view" of
the s'trike in issue—a human life, a
•man's reputation and good narrre, an
Wstwhile happy and united household,
and all of that—nor rriise a protest
ing hand,' in the circumstances.
In cases of the kind now being trio 3
in the Fulton County, Court both the
State - and the defense does well. tq-
make' haste slowly.
/The State, under "the direction of
teie Solicitor, has built about Frank a
mighty* wall of circumstances, the

is hearing, make the all too frequent
mistoke of jumping at conclusions.
You hhrdly can figure what the
controlling effect of a bit of evidence
may• bp, unless you endeavor to apply
that evidence in all directions possi
ble. ami in the light of your best and
Wrist discriminating intelligence.
.Fop instance, the defense is endeav
oring i° sfio\t that Frank on the rift-
erriohn of the murder engaged in
tfitee hours’ most intricate clerical

hall game that
never had de-
tfork, without making a mistake, < r
showing a sign of unusual excitement
in the work
£he defense will argue from this, of
that, Fpink is not likely *he
murderer of Mary Phagan, because, if
he had been, the clerical work as
aforesaid would have been an impos
sibility.-
The State, however, is endeavoring
.to show that Frank may have done
and did do this work in the morning
before the murder, when his mind
was frae of the guilty knowledge of
bloodshed, and cites as a further cir
cumstance to prove that he rpipht
have done t,he work in the morning
the fact that he had received an in
vitation to attend a
afternoon, which he
dined positively.
How Battle May Turn-
Now, wh^t will be the effect -f
thesedwo contrary theories upon the
mind of the Jury?
If the jury believes Frank did th-*
work in the mornin^ and not in the
afternoon, although it be shown that
l^e did not attend the ball game, the
defense's theory of calmness upon the
part of Frank in the afternoon may
or may not be upset—for Frank may
have been calm in the afternoon, nev
ertheless. One prop to sustain the
defense’s claim of calmness upon th 11
part of FYank would be removed, cf
course, but not more.
But suppose the jury finally be
lieves that Frank DID do the work in
‘trie afternoon, as is claimed, it likely
would-conclude that he hardly could
h^vp done it with th^ weight of Mary
Phagan's murder unon his conscience,
and the State would THEN be in the
unfortunate attitude of having com
bated unsuccessfully a theory of the
defense, thereby emphasizing the
State’s FEAR of it. and thus neces
sarily emphnsizin" its importance!
.'Here, then, we have a bit of evi
dence, introduced by the defense and
■attacked by. th* State, wherein the
State stands to gain not nearly so
riiuch in the event it beats down the
evidence as the defense likely must
grain 'through the State’s failure to
beat it down.
The question naturally arises
whether the State might not better
have left the defense's clerical work
theory alone, because, as important
as it may .be. in any event its im
portance is magnified many times if
Ihe State attacks it unsuccessfully.
Easy to Miss the Truth,
j* And STILL, to have left it Alone
entirely that——
And just after that fashion do ju
ries. being composed of mere hu-
►mans, thrash out these matters!
One never can tell which way evi
dence, once in, is going to cut!
— One can not proceed to the forming
of a definite and fixed final conclu
sion about ANY matter, until after
hfc has weighed carefully ALL the
•pros amd cons—that is, he can not so
proceed without grave danger of
missing the real TRUTH—the very
thing he ia trying his best to hit.
You do not know that 2 and 2 make
4, save in that y.ou know—or think
you know—that 2 and 3 make 5. and
that 2 and 1 made 3.
The two latter things being tru*\
you naturally conclude that 2 and 3
make 4. Aryl that conclusion, being
as well perfected as human ingenui
ty CAN perfect it, we call definite
and exact knowledge!
But if mankind's knowledge had
never extended beyond the fact that
2 and 1 make 3, we should not know
at all, of course, that 2 and 2 make
4. We would be as apt to guess that
2 and 2 make 5, as that 2 and 2
make 4.
Knowing, however, that 2 and 1
make 3. and that 2 and 3 make 5, we
conclude that 2 and 2 make 4.
After all, then, it is only through
a process of elimination that we
know even so much as that 2 and 2
make 4!
Which 2 and 2 Make 4?
Now that is all elementary (my
dear Dr. Watson), of course, but it
is upon that same theory that mur
der problems, particularly in cases de
pending. as the IVank case unques
tionably does, largely upon-circum
stantial evidence, most frequently are
unraveled.
The jury will be asked to believe
♦hat Frank did thu.-i and s'o, because,
through a process of elimination it
will be shown that Frank alone could
have done thus and so.
The jury also will be asked to be
lieve that Frank,did not do thus* and
so, because FYank, having done
something else could not at the same
time have done thus and so.
In other words, the State will in
sist that its 2 and 2 make 4, and the
ddffcnse will insist as strenuously that
its 2 and 2 make 4.
'Both can not be right—figures do
not lie!
•Either the State's 2 and 2 ma&e !
only 3, or the defense’s 2 and 2 make
only 3.
Which 2 and 2 make 4, and no mis
take about it?
That’s the jury’s business to deter
mine.

BOSTON, MASS., Aug. 13.—’’There

"There would have to be the proper

to be freer,” he said, “and where ther<>
