Copyright, 1908, By The Georgian Co. 2 cp:nts. p more° A l ESS’ DENIAL W ACCUSED H 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- ieavor to bolster the character of C. B. Dalton, a State’s wit- aess, and tear down that of Miss Daisy Hopkins, who was jailed 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.

Sl0.823.D80 IS 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 Pencil Factory, figured.” When Jndge 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. 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 reported to have remarked that he “didn’t know why he would murder. ’ ’ Health Board President Testifies. E. H. Pickett, a fellow employee of Craven’s, corroborated the latter’s story and added that the McKnight woman had ad mitted getting more money after the murder than she had before. Both Pickett and Craven were sharply questioned by Attor- Continued on Page 2, Column 1. The Fulton County tax digest, just completed by County Tax Receiver T. M.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—The White House to-day received a dis patch from Charge d’Affaires O’Shaughnessy absolutely denying press dispatches to the effect that he had been given his passports by the Mexican Government or that an ulti matum of any kind had been given to him by Huerta. The telegram from O’Shaughnessy is explicit on both of th^se points, and indicates that the situation has not been changed In any way except that a formal and diplomatic; reply to the Lind proposals was transmitted to O’Shaughnessy yesterday by the Mexican Minister of Foreign Affairs. Frederic Ggmboa. The tenor of this reply probably will be made public at the White House later in the day In his telegram to Secretary Bry an, Charge d’Affaires O’Shaughnessy relates the circumstances leading up to the transmission of the Huerta reply to the mediation proposals, which Lind carried from President Wilson to Mexico, and declares that nothing had indicated that they were in any way offensive to the Mexican 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 Bran 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 p< st fortnight. { biming:am milMOO-l ATLANTA 0 8 0 0 110 4 I— 7 CRACKERS r h o a • BARONS r h o a * Aoler, II .

Charge d’Affaires O’Shaughnessy, .n 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 ing a bare repo.’t of the fact, Mr O’Shaughnessy strongly indicated that he hoped for a peaceful settle ment and that the next 48 hours prob 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 sensational reports em anating from Mexico City last night were inspired by the Huerta Cabinet. Continued on page 7, column 3.
