Here are the important developments Tuesday in
the trial of Leo M. Frank, charged with the murder
of Mary Phagan:
Judge Roan rules out all testimony bearing on particular
acts of immorality which the State has been endeavoring to
prove against the defendant.
Will Turner, former pencil factory employee, testifies he
entered the metal room shortly before noon one day near the
middle of March and saw Frank seeking to engage Mary
Phagan in conversation. He says he cannot recall any other
person he (Turner) knew in the factory.
Solicitor Dorsey devotes large part of forenoon in an en
deavor to bolster the character of C. B. Dalton, a State’s wit
ness, and tear down that of Miss Daisy Hopkins, who was
called by the defense.
George Gordon, called by the Solicitor, swears that the
sensational affidavit of Minola McKnight, negro cook at the
Selig home, was signed in his absence and that Solicitor Dor
sey refused to order her release, saying he “would get in bad
with the detectives” if he did.
Roy Craven and E. H. Pickett, hardware store employ
ees, testified Minola McKnight, cook in the Selig home, made
the affidavit revealing incriminating remarks and actions of
Frank without reserve.
Miss Nellie Wood says she does not know Frank’s gen
eral character after the Judge has barred sensational ques
tions which the Solicitor proposed to put. The Solicitor says
the witness “entrapped” him. ,
‘ M. E. McCoy, a painter, created a stir in the courtroom Tues
day afternoon by testifying that he saw Mary Phagan on Forsyth
street at about three or four minutes after 12 o’clock on the Sat
urday she was killed.
Attorney Rosser made McCoy admit that he had not told of
this ciroumstanceuntil about a week and a half ago, although the
time element had been a vital factor for several months and the
city had been scoured for persons who saw the girl on the fatal
day.
Leo Frank’s mother and his wife left the courtroom Tuesday
afternoon as Solicitor Dorsey was outlining to the court what he
proposed to prove by Miss Nellie Wood, the witness on the stand.
The Solicitor made a determined effort to get into the record
and before hte jury testimony against Frank’s character, but, as
was the case at the morning session, he was overruled.
"We wish to show by the witness, your honor,” said Dorsey,
»‘the general character of this defendant, as well as to get before
the jury a specific instance in which this young woman, who work
ed two days on the fourth floor of the Naitonal Penoil Factory,
figured.”
When Judge Roan overruled this line of questioning, the So
licitor declared he had another witness to testify to an occasion
when he saw Frank with a woman in the factory. The judge said
the law plainly barred the questions.
Miss Wood was asked if she knew Frank’s general character.
4 She replied that she did not. Dorsey claimed he had been trap
ped, as his talk with the -witness was exactly to the contrary.
Charges Sideboard Was Moved.
Attorney Frank A. Hooper made the charge Tuesday after
noon that the mirror in the dining room at the Selig home had been
moved for the express purpose of discrediting the testimony of
Albert McKnight, who swore that he was in the Selig home the
afternoon of April 26 and saw Frank hurriedly enter the dining
room, go to the sideboard and then leave the house without stop
ping to eat.
McKnight was on the stand at the time, having been recalled
to testify as to the place he was sitting when he saw Frank through
the mirror. He designated the place and then corroborated Hoop
er’s charge by his declaration that the mirror had been moved
around several feet.
Roy Craven, one of the Beck & Gregg Hardware employees,
who assisted the police in obtaining the sensational affidavit from
Minola McKnight, negro cook at the Selig home, declared on the
stand in the Frank trial Tuesday afternoon that the McKnight
woman made her statements against Frank of her own accord
and without reserve, once she had been persuaded it was best to
tell what the State says is the whole truth.
Craven said the McKnight woman told him that she had
heard conversations at the Selig home Sunday morning following
' the murder of Mary Phagan, indicating that Frank had rested
poorly and had come home intoxicated, making his wife sleep on
the floor. He had asked his wife for a revolver to shoot himself,
the McKnight woman said, according to Craven. Frank also was

Frederic Gamboa. The tenor of this
reply probably will be made public

In his telegram to Secretary Bry
an, Charge d’Affaires O’Shaughnessy

to the transmission of the Huerta
reply tq the mediation proposals,
which Lind carried from President
Wilson to Mexico, and declares that
nothing had indicated that they were

Government.
Found Reports Were False.
He made a trip to the Mexican For
eign Office late last night to ascer
tain the truth of rumors that he was
about to be given his passports, and
that Mexico had demanded recogni
tion from the American Government
by last midnight.
He found these reports unfounded
and spread the news among the mem
bers of the American Colony in Mexi
co City. The population seemed to
take It for granted that Huerta was
about to make the desperate play
which he long had threatened.
Secretary Hr-an to-day denied that
the State Department had received
any ultimatum from Mexico concern
ing recognition of the Huerta gov
ernment by any stated time, or that
Charge d’Affaires O’Shaughnessy had
been given his passports and told to
leave Mexico.
The State Department was in
formed to-day by Charge d’Affaires
O’Shaughnessy that Senor Gamboa,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, has de
nied the statement made by Senor
Urrutia, Minister of the Interior, con
cerning the reported ultimatum, and
it is believed here that the outlook
for a peaceful settlement of the trou
bles between the two nations is more
promising at the present time than
it has been in the pt st fortnight.
Wild Rumor Laid to Cabinet.
Charge d’Affaires O’Shaughnessy, in
his telegram to the State Depart
ment to-day, reported that President
Huerta and Envoy Lind were con
ferring concerning the final settle
ment of the difficulties between the
two countries. While he did not
comment on the situation beyond giv-
ihg a bare repo t of the fact, Mr
O’Shaughnessy strongly indicated
j that he hoped for a peaceful settle^
tnent and that the next 48 hours proR
ably would bring developments lead
ing to a compact between the United
States and Mexico. ,
It is believed at the State Depart
ment that the aensatlonal reports em
anating from Mexico City last night
were inspired by the Huerta Cabinet.
