NATIONAL LEAGUE A sensation was creat'd in the courtroom during the cross- examination of Ashley Jones by Solicitor Dorsey at the Frank trial when Mrs. Rea Frank, mother of the defendant, sprang to her feet with a denial of intimations made by the Solicitor reflecting on her son. “Mr. Jones, you never heard of Frank having girls on his lap in the office?” Dorsey had asked. “No; nor you neither!” cried Frank’s mother. “Keep quiet, keep quiet; I am afraid you will have to sit here and listen to this a long time,” said the Solicitor. Mrs. Frank broke into tears and was assisted from the room, crying: “My God, my God!” Mother and Wife Set With Bowed Heads. The Solicitor’s examination of Jones had beer of a most sen sational nature and during the portion of it leading up to the in terruption by Mrs. Frank the mother of the defendant and her daughter sat with lowered heads listening to the questions and an swers. Following the outbreak, Attorney Arnold jumped to his feet and shouted: “Your honor, this is outrageous. We are not re-> sponsible for the lies and slanders that cracked-brain extremists ‘have circulated since this murder occurred.” “I will rule that the Solicitor can hot ask anything that hoi has heard since the murder,” replied Judge Roan. ‘‘He can ask on this cross-examination what happened before.” “Your honor,” returned Solicitor Dorsey, “I am not four- flushing about this. I am going to present a witness to prove the charges. Attorney Arnold interrupted the speaker. “Your honor,” he said, “if any more of these gross slanders are brought up, I am going to make a motion for a new trial. ’ ’ Judge Ran ruled Wednesday afternoon that the testimony of Dr. William Owens should be admitted over the objection of Solicitor Dorsey. He said he had some doubts of it but that he would let it go to the jury. The decision was a most decisive victory fo:- the defense. It enabled Frank’s lawyers to introduce testimony in regard to a striking reproduction of the events connected with the disposal of Mary Phagan’s body as described by Jim Conley for the purpose of showing that.it would have been absolutely impossible for these events to have taken place between 12:56 and thetime that Frank left the factory for home. As Solicitor Dorsey was making an impassioned plea for the exclusion of the testimony and describing the terror that must have hastened the movements of the little factory girl’s murderer, Mrs. J. W. Coleman’ Mary Phagan’s mother, broke down utterly and wept for several minutes. Court opened in the afternoon with the attorneys arguing the admission of Dr. Owens’ testimony. Luther Rosser cited case after case in which evidence similar to that proposed by the de fense had been admitted and allowed to stand. Solicitor Dorsey contended that the witness was not testify ing as an expert, but was giving his opinion on a matter concerning which the jurors were just as well qualified to judge as the witness. Dr. Owens was prepared to testify that with three others he went through all the movements described by Conley, and that it required the two men who took the parts of Conley and Frank eighteen and one-half minutes to carry a burden representing the body of Mary Phagan to the basement and return to the office floor. Lemmie Quinn, foreman in the metal department of the Na tional Pencil Factory, told a story on the witness stand Wednes day in tho trial of Leo M. Frank which gave the lie to another of Jim Conley’s courtroom statements. Conley testified that he saw Lemmie Quinn enter the factory before Mar?' Phagan and Monteen Stover came in. The two girls entered some time between 12 and 12:15. Quinn said he did not get io the factory until about 12:20, and that he saw neither of the girls. Aside from the testimony of Quinn, the forenoon was marked by the opening of the gates for all of the character testimony against Frank which Che State wishes to produce. Three witnesses were produced by the defense to testify to Frank’s good character. When the first one was called Solicitor Dorsey objected, saying: “I don’t see how this testimony is material, your honor, unless the defense intends to make the defendant’s character an issue.” FIRST GAME.

The crowded room of spectators knew that this was a challenge by the defense for the State to do its worst. Frank’s lawyers de liberately had introduced Frank’s character into the trial, ap parently indicating that they had no fear of the evidence whiob the prosecution might bring forth. It is known that the State has made elaborate preparations for an attack on the young superintendent’s character with stories of gross immorality. Solicitor Dorsey was asked Wednesday how many witnesses he expects to call. “I don’t know,” he replied. “It largely depends on the num ber that the defense calls and the nature of their testimony.” Those called by Attorney Arnold at the forenoon session were: Alfred L. Lane, a merchant of Brooklyn, N. Y., and a class mate of Frank’s at Pratt Institute from 1898 to 1902. Philip Nash, electrical engineer, Ridgewood, N. J., and a class mate of Frank’s at Pratt Institute during the same period. Richard A. Wright, a consulting engineer, Brooklyn, who knew Frank at Pratt Institute and also at Cornell University. All testified as to Frank’s good character. Office Boy Called to Aid Frank. Frank Payne, former office boy at the factory, was asked to particularize as to certain incidents mentioned in the testimony of Jim Conley and C. B. Dalton. He said that he never knew Frank to have women in his office, although it was his custom t obe at the office at the times Conley and Dalton testified that these gay parties took place. A full three-quarters of the forenoon was consumed in a legal wrangle over the admissibility of Dr. William Owens’ testimony. Dr. Owens was ready to testify in regard to the reproduction of the alleged movements of Conley and Frank in disposing of Mary Pha gan’s body, as Conley recited them on the witness stand. Judge Roan reserved his decision until afternoon. SMITH HITSflRMORYFIHE THIRD Crackers Fight Hard to Make It Three Straight Over Moles- worth’s Men.

Attorney Arnold began by having him de tail his movements throughout the day from the time he arose in the morning. The foreman told an apparently straightforward story, although the Solicitor did not have time for cross- examination before the noon recess. He estimated that he entered the fac tory at about 12:20 o’clock. All of the doors were unlocked, he said, and the doors of the outer and inner offices on the second floor were open. The safe door, he thought, also was open. He testified that his conversation with Frank was very brief and that he left the factory within two or three min utes. He said that R. P. Barrett, desig nated by Attorney Arnold as the "Christopher Columbus" of the Frank trial, had discovered the blood spots and the strands of hair on the lathing machine. Barrett frequently had re marked to him. Quinn testified, that he would draw down the big rewards if. Frank was convicted. Quinn said that Barrett had mentioned $2,700 at one time and $4,500 at another as the surij R* u-uuld u*u*u*e he had been the first to find the blood spots and other evidence. The witness said that it was noth ing unusual for factory employees to be hurt and bleed. He cited the case of C. P. Gilbert, who, he said, had been badly injured by the bursting of an emery wheel and was carried, bleeding, past the very place where Barrett discovered the blood spots. He testified that he never had seen Frank speak to Mary Phagan and did not know that he knew her. The defense was able to get only so far as the reading of the excerpts from Conley's testimony, so far as it related to the actual movements of the day when the Judge derided that he would reserve his decision until afternoon in tho dispute over Dr. Owens' testimony.

Rapidly making toward the room where many thousand rounds of am munition were stored, fire did several thousand dollars’ worth of damage in the storeroom of the armory over Taft Hall in the Auditorium early Wednes day afternoon. The main auditorium was not touch ed, however. The blaze did not get within 100 yards of the huge organ. The fire was discovered by Sergeant Wardwell, of the Artillery Corps, who happened to be in the basement at the time. Smoke came down the ele vator shaft and he rushed upstairs into the office of H. J. Weaver, the keeper of the building. They hurried to the upper door and discovered smoke coming out of the storeroom in which the tents of Companies C and D are kept. An alarm was turn ed in and several companies re sponded. Fir*m*n Find Doors Locked, It required several minutes for the firemen to gain entrance into the room on account of the door being locked. The armory is on the top floor and it was necessary to use an aerial truvk and enter through the window’. The firemen were driven back for some time by the heavy smoke from the burning tents and were compelled to play several streams on them f *r more than half an hour. The tents which were burned were used in the recent encampment at St. Simons Island, and It is qu ,f i proba ble that the fire had smoldered for several days. The loss to the National Guard will amount to several thou sand dollars. It required but a few’ foments for the room to till with water to a depth of more than two feet, the fire being unusually hard to quench on account of the waterproof tents, and having started 1n the center of a huge pile of canvas. Plastering Loosened. The water seeped through the floor and the celling over Taft Hall, loos ening the piaster there, while a neavy stream flowed down the stairways in to the great lobby. When the fire was extinguished the firemen under took the task of baling out the store room, using large galvanized tuba tor the work. News of the Auditorium being on fire drew a large crowd, but when the rumor that many rounds of am munition were stored in the apartment ext to the tent room spread the crowd melted rapidly.

The specific charge In the indictment of “high crimes and misdemeanors’’ wap_that he used moneys cdhtrfbuted to his campaign for speculation In Wall street. The vote was taaen at 5:15 o’clock after a night of acrimonious debate. Wall street has claimed many vic tims, both high and low, but few cases lwve afforded a more pathetic spectacle than that of Governor Sul- zer, standing alone after having fought his way up the political lad der through fifteen years or more of grueling battle.

Mrs. Sulzer, was prepared to go upon the stand to testify that she indorsed her husband’s name to checks without his knowledge and used them for stock purchases.

Friends Make Hard Fight. Governor Sulzer’s friends, includ ing Republicans. Democrats and one lone Progressive, made a spirited fight, but the antagonists were strong in numbers and logic and were able to prevail. While the all-night battle raged Governor Sulzer remained alone in the the executive mansion, “the peo ple’s house,” as he called it, refusing to see any one or to be seen. Com forted only by his wife he remained in lonely vigil until after dawn, when a messenger informed him that he had been Impeached. Tears streamed down the Governor’s face when he heard the news.
