BUI LEO F
Mrs. Rae Frank, mother of Leo Frank, was called
to the stand late Friday afternoon to testify in behalf
of her son, who is on trial for his life.
A letter written by Leo Frank April 26 to his uncle,
M. Frank, Who was in New York at the time, was pro
duced by Luther Rosser for Mrs. Frank to identify as
being read in her presence April 28.
A bitter legal wrangle immediately ensued, Attorney Hooper
protesting its admission on the ground that it was self-serving and
might have been written for the very purpose of shifting suspicion
from himself.
The letter is said to be dated 4 p. m., April 26, and in it Frank
is said to have described the Memorial Day parade.
A stir was created when Mrs. Frank took the stand. She was
called at 5:30, just at the time an adjournment was expected. She
was entirely composed.
Judge Roan, after both sides had argued at length, ruled that
•the letter was admissible.
Women Workers Defend Frank.
Attorney Reuben Arnold announced Friday afternoon that
he was going to call every woman on the fourth floor of the Na
tional Pencil Factory and many on the other floors to testify to
Frank’s conduct about the factory and to the nature of his re
lations with his employees.
Mrs. E. H. Carson was the first woman to be asked in regard
to Frank’s attitude to her, and Miss Mary Pirk the next. Both
said Frank had acted as a gentleman. Miss Pirk said she accused
Conley of the crime, and that he immediately disappeared.
Two weeks before Mary Phagan was killed Leo Frank had
her at one side of the factory away from her machine while she
was endeavoring to get back to work, according to the intimation
carried in a question by Solicitor Dorsey to Miss Pirk. The So
licitor asked the witness if she had not known this to occur. Miss
Pirk said she had never observed it. Dorsey asked if she had not
seen Frank frequently call Mary to one side and at other times take
liberties with the other girls. She denied all of this.
Tells of Conley’s Suspicious Actions.
Mrs. Carson, who is the mother of Miss Rebecca Carson, one
jf Thursday’s witnesses, told Friday afternoon of actions of Jim
Conley after the murder of Mary Phagan which she regarded as
highly suspicious.
She said she saw Conley Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
mornings after the crime, and each time said to him, in a joking
way:
"Well, they haven’t got you yet, Jim.”
Mrs. Carson said that on Thursday Conley answered angrily:
"No; I ain’t done nothing.”
\j "Neither has Mr. Frank, but they’ve got him,” Mrs. Car-
son replied, and then added:
"When they get the real murderer, it will be the negro Mrs.
Arthur White saw when she entered the factory Saturday after
noon.
Mrs. Carson said that the negro dropped his broom and that
she did not see him again that day.
Negro Helper Testifies for Frank.
Walter Pride, a negro helper at the pencil factory, testified
that he had worked many Saturday afternoons at the factory and
that he never had seen women in Frank’s office at these times, as
Jim Conley had testified. Pride also swore that he never saw Con
ley watching at the front door. Conley said on the witness stand
that he frequently stayed at the front door to prevent persons
going upstairs while Frank had women visitors. Pride said he
would not believe Conley on oath.
The State's theory of premeditation in the murder of Mary
Phagan was vigorously opposed Friday afternoon in the Frank
trial by the testimony of Harry Gottheimer, a traveling sales
man for Montag Bros, and the National Pencil Factory.
Gottheimer testified that he was at Montag Bros.’ Saturday
/Srenoon, April 26, and that he talked to Frank there shortly after
10 o’clock. The witness said Frank asked him to come over to the
pencil factory for a short while. Gottheimer was not certain that

Man Who Deserted
Wife in Atlanta Is
Caught in Alabama
Chif of Pollc Beavers was notified
Friday afternoon that Charles L.
Smith is under arrest at Seale, Ala.,
and was asked if the Atlanta author
ities wanted him returned here for
prosecution after he ahd been tried
in the Alabama town.
The local police have been search
ing for Smith several weeks on com
plaint of S. M. Wilson, of No. 331
Courtland street, who asserts Smith
married his daughter July 19 and
deserted her the next week, when she
learned that he had another wife liv
ing at Opelika. Wilson conferred
with Chief Beavers this afternoon,
but it has not yet been decided
whether Smith will be brough back
here or the charge dropped.
According to Wilson’s story, Smith
came to Atlanta and represented
himself as a Methodist minister. He
married Miss Wilson, and a week
later she heard that he had been mar
ried in Columbus, Ga, the previous
February, and that the former wife
was residing at Opelika.
She asked Smith about It. He of
fered to go with her to Opelika and
disprove It. They started, and when
almost there Smith leaped from the
train. She caught hi mand brought
him back, and they went on to Ope
lika. Once In the town, however,
Smith gave her the slip, and nothing
had been heard of him until his ar
rest In Seale.

CHICAGO. Aug. 15.—Malefactors’
scorn of the “lady cops” turned to
real fear to-day when the “Catch ’em
Skirts” was announced. The "Catch
’em” Is a skirt of the usual narrow
proportions, but equipped with a long
silt and a drawstring. The "lady
cop” can’t run fast when the slit is
closed for ordinary gait. But if speed
is necessary, the wearer pulls a mys
terious atrlng, and—lo! a long silt,
reaching up to the knee, appears.
Only policewomen, of course, will
be allowed to wear tne new skirt.
DYNAMITE EXPLODED; NO RAIN.
