/ / TTTE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. JUSTICE IS AIM OF BOTH S SQUARE DEAL IS CERTAIN By JAMES B. In considering the Frank trial, par ticularly with respect to the length of it, and the thoroughgoing exhaust iveness of the hearing, it must be borne in mind that the establishing of justice is the main object of both sides, and that, therefore, patience and poise are absolutely necessary in those who would be fair—fair not only to Frank, but to the State also. With the average citizen, the home- loving and 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 Leo 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 for the careful and painstaking labor he has put into the case. It must be conceded that he is ut terly conscientious and sincere in his endeavor to convict Frank. Frank has been duly indicted—Dorsey is the Solicitor General. It is the duty—the sworn duty—of the Solicitor to prosecute with ALL the vigor and resourcefulness at his command 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 Dorse} to see that the State gets a square deal as it is that Luther Rosser and Reuben Ar nold see to it that Frank gets a square deal. Dorsey Given Credit; The Solicitor has made out a most impressive case against Frank, more over. • With such circumstances and posi tive facts as he thinks he* possesses -^be they sound oh otherwise, and that is for the jury to say—he has established a charge against Leo Frank that can not, and will'not, be overcome without difficulty and cir cumspection of effort. The Solicitor has handled himself extremely well—he deserves ungrudg ing credit for that. He has abundantly, proven himself to be a good man—an exceptionally able man- in a position that some times Is the-mciBt trying of all official positions in Georgia- No man can make me believe that Hugh Dorsey would, for an Instant, seek to fix Upon Deo Frank the awful charge brought against him, if Dor- gey did not BELIEVE Frank guilty. . As much may be said of Frank Hooper, Dorsey’s splendidly equipped assistant. 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 tives, and for Frank himself, to pos sess their souls in patience while the State's counsel—the people's advo cate—was doing his duty.* No Quibbling Over Expense. The defense will take quite as long •—perhaps longer—and that, too, is as It should be. however much we may wish to sec 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 stake in issue—a human life, a Plan’s reputation and good name, an erstwhile happy and united household, and all of that—nor raise a protest ing hand, in the circumstances. In cases of the kind now being triel in the Fulton County Court both the State and the defense does well to '■•make haste slowly. The State, under the direction of the Solicitor, has built about Frank a mighty wall of circumstances, the Which to scale It will require the ulti mate ingenuity of the defense. " / i do not know whether the defense *. can scale that wall or not—maybe It can. It has made marked progress— thus far, at least, so it seems—and it may get completely over. It isn’t over YET, nevertheless. The best thing to do is to keep your mind honestly open—to keep it “per fectly impartial between the State and the accused," as the jury is re quired to do. The well-balanced citizen will oe prepared to say, after the hearings are completed and the verdict has been rendered: “Well, that Is the TRUTH of the matter, for It is a finding brought about through a proc ess of law evolved of a thousand years of Anglo-Saxon civilization, which is an ever-pTogressing civiliza tion, and it approximates justice and right to the final extent that human ingenuity is able to 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 wfong It isn’t so much for you to say. reader, nor for me—the saying finally is. the jury’s business. Jsn’t that right? people, in undertaking to analyze and consider intelligently a case such as the one Judge Roan now NEVIN. is hearing, make the all too frequent mistake of Jumping at conclusions. You hardly can figure what the controlling effect of a bit of evidence may be, unless you endeavor to apply that evidence in all directions possi ble, and in the light of your best and most discriminating intelligence. For instance, the defense is endeav oring to show’ that Frank on the aft ernoon of the murder engaged in three hours’ most Intricate clerical Former Neighbor Of C.B.Dalton, Who Attacks Character STATE WILL CALL MORE m en DO IQ I Girl Tells of Trip to JUDD flu Reno as Diggs’Wife |[ HEARS HE IS In anticipation of the close of the defense’s case, the State Tuesday aft ernoon subpenaed a number of new witnesses to be called In the event that Frank's character was put in Cooper's son lat on Ms knee while the father was on stand. work,- without making a mistake, or showing.a sign of unusual excitement in the work. The defense will argue from this, of course, that Frank is not likely, thq murderer of Mary Phagan, because, if he had been, the clerical w’ork 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 free of the guilty knowledge of bloodshed, and cites as a further cir- diimstahee to prove that he might have done the work in the morning the fact that he had received an In vitation to attend a ball game that afternoon, which he never had de clined positively. How Battle May Turn. Now, what will be the effect >f these two contrary theories upon the mind of the jury? If the jury believes Frank did the w’ork In the mornine\ and not In the afternoon, although it be shown that he 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 dpset for Frank may have been calm ip the afternoon, nev ertheless. One prop to sustain the defense’s claim t»f calmness upon the part of Frank would be removed, of course, but not more. But‘suppose the jury finally be lieves that Frank DID do the work in the afternoon, as is claimed. It likely would conclude that he hardly could have done It w ith the 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, therebj* emphasizing the State’s FEAR of It, and thus neces sarily emphasizing Its Importance! Here, then, w’e have a bit of evi dence, introduced by the defense and attacked by the State, wherein the State stands to gain not nearly so much in the event it beats down the evidence as the defense likely must gain 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 the State attacks it unsuccessfully. Easy to Miss the Truth. And STILL, to have left it alone entirely that And just after that fashion do ju ries. being composed of mete hu mans, thrash out these matters! One nevqr 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 he. .has weighed carefully ALL the pros and cons—that is, he can not so proceed without grave danger of missing the real TRUTH—the very thing he is trying his best to hit. YuU do not know that 2 and 2 make 4, save in that you know—or think you know—that 2 and 3 make 6. and that 2 and 1 made 3. The two latter things being t*qe. you naturally conclude that 2 ard 2 make 4. And 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 beyefnd 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 thal 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 Frank case unques tionably does, largely upon circum stantial evidence, most frequently are unraveled. The jury will be asked to believe that Frank did thus and so. 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 Frank, having done something else could not at the same time have done thus and so. In other words, the State will in sist thqt its 2 and 2 make 4, and the defense 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 make 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. Mountaineer Frozen Dangling Over Cliff Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. VIENNA, Aug. 13.—Mountain guides near Leisang to-day discov ered the frozen body of a mountain eer hanging over the cliff in the J3re- genz Mountains. The man, who was a guide, had fallen from a precipice and his cloth ing had caught in a jutting tree root. Gives 500 Pieces of Skin to Daughter PROVIDENCE, R. I., Aug. 13.—Mrs. Howard Gladding has given 500 tiny pieces of skin from her arms to pre vent scars on the face of her daugh ter, four, who fell down Stairs with a lighted lamp. issue. It was said that Solicitor Dor sey had prepared against this move by the defense by getting affidavits from, many persons who claimed to know the defendant. An effort by the State to obtain testimony reflecting on the morality of Frank was resisted strongly by the superintendent's attorneys Tues day. Solicitor Dorsey failed to get the answers he desired from the wit ness, Philip Chambers, a 1’5-year-old office boy, but Attorney Arnold moved that all of the testimony bearing on this matter be ruled out, although the boy had testified favorably to Frank. The lawyer threatened that he would move for a mistrial if any fur ther effort were made to Introduce testimony of the sort which he brand ed as irrelevant and immaterial, as well as being defamatory, slanderous and highly prejudicial. He was sus tained in his objection. Alibi Being Established. The defense had progressed consid erably in establishing w'hat it pro poses to make an iron-clad alibi for Frank on the day of the murder when court adjourned Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Emil Selig, Frank’s parents-in-law, with whom he lives, both testified that Frank arrived home Saturday afternoon for luncheon at 1:20 o’clock. Minola McKnight, ne gro cook, swore to the same'state ment. This would have made it im possible, according to the contention of the defense, for Frank to have had any part in the crime as it is described by the negro, Jim Conley. Allowing ten miniites for Frank to catch a car and get home, this would have necessitated Frank leaving the factory at 1:10 o’clock. Conley said it was four minutes before 1 o’clock when he got the cloth in which to wrap the body of Mary Phagan and carry it to the front of the factory and down the elevator. This gives but fourteen minutes for the disposal of the body, the writing of the four notes, two of which were found be side the body, and everything else that took place before- Frank left for home, according to Conley. Claim Cooley’s Story Impossible. The defense maintains that it would have been absolutely impossible for Frank to have accomplished all this in the short space of time-. The ne gro’s own estimate of the time re quired to take the body dowmstairs and return to the office floor is five minutes. The defense brands this an absurdity. After this Frank jv a shed his hands and told Conley to come into his office, according to the negro. This must have taken until 1:05, at least, Frank's lawyers w r ill a-ssert. From experiments they have made in the factory they may declare that it would require even longer. Conley said that after he got In the office some one approached and Frank locked him in a closet. He wa« In there seven or eight minutes, he testi fied, bringing the time to 1:12 or 1:13. After this there were vet the notes to write. Conley said that he wrote them in a minute and a half or two minutes, but Harry Scott, Pinkerton detective, testified that it required to , Deserted by Friends, He Waits j Through the Night, Com forted by Wife.

Diggs resulted in his present trial on a charge of violating the Mann white slave law, resumed her story’ on the witness stand to day. Mias Warrington said that after eating luncheon in a cafe on their ar rival in Reno, she, with Diggs, Drew Caminetti, jointly Indicted with Diggs, and Lola Norris, w'ent to a hotel, and under assumed names, reg istered as man and wife. The fol lowing day, she said, they moved to a bungalow that Diggs and Caminetti had rented for a month. They lived there as man and wife, she testified them back. The defense lawyers will be able to argue that this took at least an additional five minutes, bringing the time to 1:30—ten minutes after FranK arrived home, according to the alibi set up by the defense and at the same time he arrived home by the testimony of one of the state’s own witnesses, Albert McKnight. Solicitor Dorsey sought to impeach both Mr. and Mrs. Selig by compar ing their testimony with that they gave before the coroner s jury. He found discrepancies which the wit nesses laid to lapse of memory or to mistakes made at the inquest. Mrs. Selig, for example, testified at the inquest that Frank wore the same suit of clothes Saturday, Sunday and Monday. She admitted to the solic itor that she was mistaken. Cook Accuses Sleuths. The detectives Were given a tor ture-chamber reputation by Minola McKnight, the negro cook at the Se lig home. The McKnight woman signed an affidavit telling of conver sations she overheard that were ex* tremely damaging to Frank. When she got on the stand Tues day she declared vehemently that the statements In the affidavit w*ere all ft ‘ pack of lies,’’ which she said were invented by her husband, Albert Mc Knight. She swore, to the amusement of the spectators, that the detectives took her to the police station in the “con trol wagon" and that they threatened to keep her in jail if she did not sign the papers. “Ah signed ’em to keep out of jail. Ah’d do mos’ anything to keep out of jail," she said. Other important developments of the day w-ere the showing up of the court and chaifigang record and repu tation of C. B. Dalton, the witness who swore women frequently were in Frank’s office; the announcement by th e State of its theory that Frank planned the attack on Mary Phagafi the day before It took place, and the testimony of Miss Hattie Hall and Miss Magnolia Kennedy, which was intended to show that this theory was untenable. State Charges Premeditation. Attorney Frank Hooper declared It as the opinion of the State that the pay envelope of Mary Phagan was refused Helen Ferguson Friday night and that it w’as refused for the delib erate purpose of getting the Phagan girl to the factory the next day. Magnolia Kennedy testified that she was with Helen Ferguson when she drew* her pay and that the girl did not ask for Mafy Phagan’s pay. Miss Hall asserted that Frank tried to get her to work for him Saturday afternoon and also asked Harry Gott- heimer. a Montag Brothers salesman, to come over in the afternoon to talk over some business matters. Indicat ing that he had planned no crime or wrongdoing of any sort for that after noon. Several pieces of testimony during the day struck at the story of Jim Conley. Miss Hall said that Lemmie GDinh did not arrive In the factory fore she left at 12:02. Conley said that Quinn preceded Mary Phagan. whom he saw next, and Monteen Sto ver. who entered the factory at 12:05 o’clock. Miss Corinthia Hall and Mrs. Em ma Clark testified that they were not In the factory shortly after 1 o’clock when Conley said Frank exclaimed that these tw’o women w’ere coming Gordon Bailey, a negro at the fac tory, denied many of Conley’s storlep in regard to incidents In which Frank was alleged to have a part. shunned him. History of an unprecedented nature was made, for never before has a Gov ernor of this State been Impeached. Snores Punctuate Oratory. The debate which led up to the vote was marked by a dramatic fea ture, but even fiery oratory could not keep awake the spectators who filled the galleries. The most interested were the women, who remained awake until'the final roll call. A number of the men slept in their chairs and a buzz of snores proclaimed the supe riority of slumber over forensic. Majority Leader Levy made the final address before the votd was taken and he blended eloquence with facts in a convincing manner. Mr. Levy read a great part of the testimony taken by the Frawley committee be fore he declared in solemn tones that, in his mind, William Sulzer should be Impeached in the name of the Com- tndnw.eSilth and common honor." •* Mr. Levy denied that the Impeach ment’proceedings were being rushed b' v Tammany leaders, declaring that under -the Constitution the lmpeach- mpfit Vtmrt can not sit until 30 days have -elapsed: Assembly man Schaah. a Progressive tfho has been supporting the Gov ernor’s direct primary bill supported Mr. Sulzer in a speech. No Work for Police Guard. It w’as expected that there would be a demonstVflUon and police were on hand to quell disorder, but nothing of an extlting nature occurred. Eugene Lamb Richards, counsel fot the Frawley committee, will proba bly appeal 4 against Mr. Sulzer in court, owing' to his familiarity with the cane.. There was practically nothing do ing during the hours before noon, as nearly all th^ legislators were in bed. Opponents of the Governor were busy, hmvt-ver, and Mr. Suiter was severely criticised fot* . his reported acquies cence to his wife’s declaration that she was unwittingly responsible for the Wall Street speculation charges. “Tie should not try to hide behind petticoats to save his political face." said they. Tammany’s Hand Is Seen. Friends of the impeached Governor are dfeepiy distressed to-day over the action of the assembly. They still maintain that politics of a Tammany taint is rampant in the legislative halls: They go so far as to predict that Acting Governor Glynn, who is now the rightful occupant of the ex ecutive chamber, will be given full op portunity td decapitate appointments made by the Governor, in that it is expected that no impeachment pro ceedings will be started until late in October, which is the limit of time provided for in the Constitution when the impeachment trial through the court of Impeachment must be Insti- t >; 1 • • < L. Those friends of the Governor find solace in the fact that in addition to the 78 votes necessary to impeach, Tammany could muster but three ad ditional votes. They point out that fourteen Republicans voted to sustain the Governor and feel that it was rock-ribbed political tactics which fprcgd those who voted favorably on the impeachment resolution to do so. No arguments sufficiently strong to sustain the charge of the Frawley committee were made oh the floor, they declare, and that Governor Sul zer will fight back through the me dium of exposures of prominent Tam many legislators who so far have been successful in the first round to ac complish his downfall, is also strong ly hinted at. The impeached Governor w’ill h?fve plenty of time to dig up damaging evidence, they declare, and will do his utmost to bring calumny home to those whom he has heretofore more than hinted were grafters, who must b«? driven out of the party. More Scandal is Promised. It is not believed that the impeach ed Governor will be forced to vacate the Executive mansion although he may feel In honor bound to do so. Acting Governor Glynn has a home | of his own in one of the most ex - elusive thoroughfares in the city and a summer home at Cedar Hill. SCHOOL OPENS SEPT. 1. TALBOTTON.

SPIRIT Radicals Call Present Quiet Calm Before Storm—Drunken Stu dents Jeer Lrnd, Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. MEXICO CITY, Aug. 13.—Follow ing the conference between Special American Envoy John Lind and th« Mexican Foreign Minister, ManueJ Gamboa, the belief prevailed here to day that President Huerta would adopt a conciliatory’ attitude toward the United States, realizing the hope lessness of trying to combat the vast power of Mexico’s big neighbor. Callers at the National Pajaco de clared that in substance President Huerta had said: “While Mexico resents interference even from a friendly power in her domestic affairs, nevertheless we do not feel that we are in any way be ing coerced by the United States. We will make further protest against any efforts of Mr. Lind to settle af fairs in tills republic if he attempts to do so, but such action on our part will not be of a bellicose nature." L.-nd Makes Report. Mr. Lind is in constant communi cation with Washington and has no tified the State Department of his safe arrival here and of the apparent absence of any anti-American feel ing. It Is understood the Carranza reb els in Northeastern Mexico have communicated a desire to Mr. Lind to meet their representatives so that representations may be made In be half of formal recognition of the Car ranza forces as belligerents. The Foreign Office to-day denied having ;uny official knowledge of Ja pan’s declination to recognize Felix Diaz as a special envoy In fact, Mexico was assured before Senor Diaz left Mexico that he would; be received in an official capacity. A group of students from the Na tional Military Academy, who evi dently had indulged too freely in Mex ican rum. attempted to make a hostile demonstration around the Hotel Las- curain, where Mr. Lind and his party are staying. They were driven away by rurales. Calm Before Storm. The situation here has remained quiet, but radicals among the support ers of Huerta declare it is only the calm before the storm. Conserva tives are counseling Huerta not to antagonize the United States. A delegation of planters called at the National Palace to-day and present ed a petition about as follows: “Having the good of Mexico at heart and desiring to attract foreign capital for the upbuilding of the Re public. we ask President Huerta to maintain the friendliest relations with the United States and not to take action of any nature whatsoever which might offend our peaceful al- FUN AND FROLIC, MELODY AND MIRTH AT BOHEMIA THEATER At the Bohemia, where you never want to go home, the bill has been changed to semi-vaude ville, and the excellent stock com pany loses nothing in the change.
