In considering the Frank trial, par ticularly with respect to the length <>f» it, and tho thoroughgoing exhaust iveness of th e hearing, it must be borne" In*mind that the establishing i/f justice is -the main object <of both side«» and that, therefore, patience •and poise are absolutely necessary in! those who- \voalct -be fair—fair not «;nly *o/Frank, but to the:State also. •' With the average citizen, the home- loving a.nd upright.citizen, the Frank trial .should be largely an abstract proposition. *»- As Frank Hooper himself has .said, State’s -counsel that he is: ' '“It- Is not so ’much a question of convicting keo Frank, as it is <a ques tion of convicting -the murderer of Mary- Phagan!” • The Solicitor General, Hugh M. • Dorsey,, is entitled to full,-and com plete praise I° r the careful and •> painstaking,.labor he, ha# put inta.the * csy&e. \ v - . , , If , It must be conceded that- he is'ut- terly conscientious.and sincere in his endeavqr to convict Frank. Frank been, duly indicted—-Dorsey is .the Solicitor General. It. is the. duty—the sworn duty—of the Solicitor to prosecute with vALL the vigor and resourcefulness at his ,gommajid all indicted persons. If he 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 nold see to it that Frank gets a square deal. Dorsey Qiyen Credit- > ■ The Solicitor has made, out a most impressive-c,ase against Frank, more over. ....... ' u { W T ith such circumstances and posi tive .facts as he thinks he possesses .—be. they. sound or otherwise, and that is for the jury to v*y—he.has- established a charge a^inst Leo J^rank that can not, ,and will not, he ^overcome without difficulty-and cir cumspection of effort.

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 to scale It will require the^ulti- rryfcTe ingehiiity oYthe defense. v t do not know whether''the defense efi-n scale 'that wall or not—maybe It can. It has fnade marked progress’— v HlUis far,_at least, so it seems—and it may gef completelywver. -It ish’t'-bVer YET, nevertheless. -' The best thihg to do iMb keep your mind honestly open—to keep it “per fectly impartial between' the State and the accused,” as the Juxy is re quired to di* The wcl 1-balanced * citizen will »oe . prepaid to say, «ft£r the hearings are cotnpfc'icd arid the verdict has 'been rendered: “Well;, that ts the . TRUTH of the matter, foe it. is a • finding-brought about through a proc ess- of law evolved oT a thousand, years, of Anglo-Saxon civilization.; wjiich is an ever-progressing civiliza tion, and it approximates-Justice and. right to the final extent that, human ingenuity is able t«> approximate it!” Many Jump at Conclusions. Dorsey and Hooper may be right, they may be wrong--Rosser and Ar nold may be right, and they may be Wrong. It isn’t so much for you io say. reader, nor Tor me-—th* saying' finally is the jury’s business., , f Isn’t that right? , ” So many people, in undertaking to {Analyze am 1 "nsidrr intelligently a case such as the one Judge Roan now NEVIN. 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 W J. ■' : : V. S. Cooper, farmer of Walton County, who testifies he would not believe Dalton ' on oath. 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. Funeral Designs and Flowers FOR ALL OCCASIONS. Atlanta Floral Company 455 EAST FAIR STREET.

Shaw, a student at the University of Illinois and the son of one of the wealthiest citizens of Urbana, Ill.

BOSTON, MASS., Aug. 13.—’’There should be a more lenient divorce law, if not ope actually patterned on the free divorce of Norway," judge Albert I E. Avery, of the Quincy and Brantree District Court declares. "There would have to be the proper financial arrangements if divorce were to be freer,” he said, “and where ther<> are young children their welfare and disposition should come before the in clinations of the parents.
