•MIA ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS. DORSEY FIGHTS HARD TO BOLSTER UP DR, HARRIS’ EVIDENCE Calling of More Medical Experts by State Materially Lengthens Frank Trial Continued from Page 1. he knew Mary Phagan and that she was not on this car from Forsyth and Marietta streets. Hla testimony, If believed by the jury. Is extremely im portant to the State, as it supports the State’s contentions In two re spects—first, that Mary Phagan go off the car at Forsyth and) Marietta streets, and, second, that the car wad considerably ahead of time. Other street car employees testified that it was not unusual for the English ave nue car, due at 12:07, to come in ahead of the Fair street car, which is due at 12:05. Experts Corroborate Harris’ Evidence. Solicitor Dorsey, successful in his endeavor to re-open the question of the time Mary Phagan met her death aa judged by the condition of the food found in her stomach, gathered a brilliant array of stomach and in testinal specialists Wednesday to lead in an onslaught against the testimony of the experts called by the lawyers for Leo Frank. Dr. Clarence Johnson, a well-known Atlanta specialist, on being asked a hypothetical question embracing the condition in which the cabbage In Mary Phagan’s stomach was found, gave it as his opinion that the girl came to her death within an hour after the digestion began. This corroborated in a measure the testimony of Dr. Harris, who esti mated the time at from half to three- quarters of an hour after the cabbage had been eaten. Dr. George M. Niles, who holds the chair of gastro-enterology at the At lanta Medical College, swore that di gestion could not have progressed more than an hour under the condi tions described. He was quite posi tive digestion had progressed less than an hour. Dr. John Funke, professor of path ology and bacteriology at the Atlanta Medical College, testified that he had been shown sections of the organs of Mary Phagan by Dr. Harris, a cir cumstance which had not been made known until this point in the trial. The defense had charged that Dr. Harris had made his experiments and analysis in secret and had consulted no other expert. Dr. Funke later admitted that he had not made the examination until about a week ago after the charges had been made and he had been asked by. Dr. R. T. Dorsey, brother of the So licitor. to inspect the specimens. Asserts Girl Was Criminally Attacked. This expert corroborated Dr. Har ris In his declaration that Mary Pha gan was a victim of criminal vio lence, but he fell somewhat short of substantiating Harris on the time the cabbage had been in the stomach be fore the digestive processes had been stopped by death. Being pressed for a definite answer on this point, he said: “One can not say positively, hut it is reasonable to assume that digestion probably had progressed an hour, maybe a little more, maybe a little less.’* Dr. Johnson was extremely cautious in his answers. He dictated his re plies slowly and studiedly to the court stenographer and picked his W’ords and phrases most carefully. He said first in reply to questions by the Solicitor that it was his scien tific opinion that the digestion of the cabbage and brpad in Mary Phagan’s stomach had stopped within an hour after they were eaten. Attorney Ar nold, however, got the expert to change his answ r er to ‘within an hour after digestion had begun.” forcing , Dr. Johnson to admit that the begin ning of digestion many times is de layed by poor mastication or overdi lution of the gastric fluids. The wit ness would not undertake to say how long it was before the first processes of actual digestion had begun in the case of Mary Phagan. Much surprise was occasioned when it w r as learned that Jim Conley had been brought to the courthouse at the command of Solicitor Dorsey. It - was rumored that he would go on the stand, but Solicitor Dorsey insisted that he had him brought over merely to have him identified by persons who could swear to his good character Defense Puts Up Hard Battle. A lively argument over the State’s proposal to call three or four promi nent physicians to controvert the testimony of the defense's medical experts marked the opening of the Frank trial Wednesday. Luther Rosser and Reuben Arnold vigorously fought the introduction of witnesses for this purpose in the State's rebuttal. Solicitor Dorsey maintained he had a perfect right to develop ns much testimony along this line as he wished. The defense took the attitude that all of their medical experts were call ed only for the purpose of rebutting the testimony of I)r. H. F. Harris, secretary of the State Board of Health, who will go down In the his tory of the Phagan case as the wit ness who professed to determine the time that intervened between the time that Mary Phagan left home and the time she was killed by th<* condition of some undigested cabbage in her stomach. Attorney Arnold argued tha if the State had wished to obtain the testi mony of other medical experts to corroborate the statements of Dr. Harris, they should have been called in the original presentation of the State's rase instead of in the rebuttal. He said that the defense had not attempted to cover any new points through the physicians they had on the stand and that these experts were questioned solely with the purpose in view of discrediting Dr. Harris. Endless Process Seen by Arnold. "If this is to be allowed,” said Ar nold, ‘it will mean that it is to be simply an endless process. I never heard of such a thing before. Jf Mr. Dorsey is permitted to call all the medical experts he wishes to bolster up the testimony of Dr. Har ris, I shall call back all of the ex perts we had on the stand.” The argument had its beginning late Tuesday afternoon when Dr. Clarence Johnson, a well-known At lanta specialist, was called to the stand Just before adjournment. Ros ser and Arnold entered their objec tions the instant that Solicitor Dor sey began questioning the witness along the same line that he had ques tioned Dr. Harris when the State presented Its case against the de fendant. "I Just want to question this man in rebuttal of the denfense's wit nesses,” Insisted the Solicitor. "They testified that Dr. Harris was making a wild and reckless guess when he declared that Mary Phagan w-as killed within three-quarters of an hour after she ate and left home. I want to prove by I)r, Johnson and the other experts that I will call that this declaration of Dr. Harris was based on scientific principles that are well known to the physicians who special ize along those particular lines.” The Solicitor said that he had plen ty of authorities to uphold him in his stand on the admissibility of the testimony In rebuttal and asked the judge to adjourn until Wednesday morning so that he might have time to look them up. The Solicitor got Dr. Johnson to say before he left the stand that I)r. Harris was premis ing his statement upon substantial physiological principles and that it was in no sense a wild guess. It was the plan to recall Dr. Johnson to the stand again as soon as court onened Wednesday. Expert Permitted to Answer State’s Query. Dr. Clarence Johnson was called and Solicitor Dorsey resumed his ar gument on the admissibility of evi dence supporting Dr. H. F. Harris. •‘1 have this authority,” said Dor sey. “It has been the well-recog nized practice to follow this course. I have not been able to put my hand on a specific authority, though 1 have looked for It for some time. How ever, I think your honor will recall that It is the uniform practice to al low the State to make out a prima facie case and go Into the whole thing later. It is within the discretion of the court to allow a rase to he reop ened even after the State and the de fense have rested.” “What I want to know is.” said Judge Roan, “if you want to reopen this whole case.” • 1 have a right to do that,” said Dorsey. “Where would this thing end?” asked the judge. “They would have the right to rebut." “Of course the court would not al low anything absurd.” “What is more absurd,” asked Ar nold. “than for the State to bolster up its testimony after the matter is closed? I know some judges who have been elevated from the office of Solicitor General who would allow the State to bring in anything on rebut tal. 1( this is to be reopened, we are going to ask to be allowed to bring hack our experts to go over the re buttal. If Dr. Harris’ testimony needs bolstering, he should have put up the doctors at first.” “A,s a matter of right,” said Judge Roan, “you (Dorsey) have not any. As a matter of discretion of the court you have. I will exercise that discre tion in your favor. Mr. Dorsey. You may go on with the question.” Girl Died Within Hour After Eating Cabbage. Solicitor Dorsey had the court ste nographer read the hypothetical ques tion about the length of time the cabbage Mary Phagan ate had been In her stoma<sh and whether a doctor could determine anything definite about the time of death or whether it would be a wild guess. The answer was: "To answer that question under the oath I have taken I would have to know whether the pathologist was thoroughly capable and employed the most modern scientific methods.” Q Well, arsume that he was, doc tor?—A. If a capable pathologist found there was only combined hy drochloric acid wdth due considera tion of other conditions as possible factors, I would express in my opin ion scientifically that the digestion of the- bread and the cabbage was stop ped within one hour, after eating. The witness then addressed the court: “Your honor, T would like to have my answer read to me by the ste nographer.” The request w*as granted. Q. Is every stomach a law unto itself?—A. No. Arnold took the witness on cross- examination. Q. What are some of the other pos sible factors?—A. I didn't say that. Q. What did they say. then?—A. I said there were probable factors in the cut on the head and strangula tion. Q. Well, how would that affect di gestion?—A. Anything that disturbs the circulation of the blood would af fect digestion. Q. What did you mean by me chanical conditions?—A. The thick ness of the Btomach, the size and the general appearance. Q. Do you consider the color test reliable?—A. Yes. O. It depends entirely on the eye of the man?—A. Not. exactly. Q. If a man were color blind would it affect the test?—A. Why, of course. Says Digestive Juices Disappear After Death. Q. . Now this acid has an ascending and descending scale, hasn’t it?—A. Yes. Q. What is the highest degree of acttvtty?—A. Do you want my ex perience? Q. No, the science.—A. I think it varies from 30 to 40. Q. What becomes of the pancreatic Juices of the stomach after death 9 —A. There are no pancreatic juices of the stomach. They are In the in testines. Q. Well, what becomes of them aft er death?—A. They would lose the chemical property in time, but the physical pancreatic juice would re main. Q. What becomes of free hydro chloric acid after death?—A. When the stomach disintegrates it disap pears. Q. Rut tell |ne, doctor, what be comes of the free hydrochloric acid after death regardless of time?—A. It eventually disappears. Q. What delays the beginning of the digestive process?—A. If mas tication was not good, or rather very bad, it would be delayed. Q. Would walking delay it?—A. Not unless it was a tiring walk. Q, Well, when you answered Mr, Dorsey’s question, you only meant one hour from the tijne digestion started and not how long it had been in the stomach?—A. Yes. Q. You said, as 1 remember it. that digestion began within an hour and was arrested?—A. 1* prefer to have my answer read. Q. The stenographer is taking every word you are saying. He will do you justice.—A. It is not justice for my self I want. I want to do justice to all. “Yes. I know that,” said Arnold, and, continuing: Q. Could you tel! by looking at that cabbage how long digestion had been delayed?—A. In my laboratory I could tell exactly. Here It would only be an estimate. Witness Declines to Guess at Anything. Q. You mean a guess?—A. I don’t guess at anything. Q. You never made any test on Mary Phagan's stomach?—A. No. Q. You are simply testifying w’hat possibly might have been done**—A. I am simply testifying to scientific truth. The witness was excused and Dr G. M. Niles, another stomach and in testinal specialist, and a professor at the Atlanta Medical College, and also author of a book on pellagra, was summoned. Dorsey questioned him? Q. Does science recognize that every' stomach is a law unto itself?— A. Every healthy normal stomach has certain fundamental relations to all other healthy normal stomachs. In answer to the hypothetical ques tion embracing the case of Mary Phagan, Dr. Niles answered: “In the orderly process of the course of digestion, there should be pure hy drochloric acid in the course of one hour. I am answering my question without regard to any psychic or physical shock. I am not going so much by the appearance of the cab bage as the statements of the re sults of the laboratory tests.” Q. What have you to say about LEO FRANK’S MOTHER j. ON HER WAY TO COURT MRS. REA FRANK. variations of diseased stomachs?—A. There are wide variations. Stomachs have ldiosyncracies, but where they are very marked I would not call them normal. Q. There is nothing that differs so much as individual digestion, is there? —A. 1 would say that a man’s tem peramental view' of life differs more than that. Q. How long does it take cabbage to digest?—A. 1 can not answer that question absolutely. Q. Don’t you know what the book« say—from four to four and one-half hours?—A. 1 can not answer that specifically. Q. What Is the longest time you have known cabbage to remain in a fairly normal stomach?—A. Four or five hours. Q. You found it there in a normal stomach five hours, haven’t you?—A. The remains of it. Q. Is starch one of the carbo hydrates?—A. Yes. Q. Then cabbage is a carbohy drate?—A. Yes. Cabbage Had Not Been In Stomach Three Hours. Q. Then the digestion should begin In the mouth?—A. That is the pre liminary mechanical process. Q. Well then, in a normal stomach, if the cubbage were not well masti cated it would be there some time before the stomach started work, wouldn’t it?—A. No, I would say the stomach got busy immediately. Q. You would not say how long that cabbage was in that little girl’s stom ach, would you?—A. 1 would not. Q. Now, look at that cabbage and tell me whether It might not have been there three hours or more. Dr. Niles looked at the cubbage several minutes and said: "No; if it had been in the stomach three hours, it would have been more pulverized." Q. Now. if this little girl ate that cabbage bolted it down in a hurry to get to town and see the parade, would you say that that circumstance delayed digestion?—A. Well, if she was hungry and took any pleasure in eating the meal, the mastication or lack of it would not make any great difference. Q. Then mastication does not make any great difference?—A. It certain ly does. Q Did you make any examination of the stomach?—A. No. Q. You made none of the tests?— A. No. Q. Do you know that the doctor who made the examination did mot save any of the contents of the stomach?—A. I read it. Q. Did you know' that he did not call any physician in to help him?— A Yes. Q. That he did not divulge any of the findings until he came here?—A. Yes. Q. That he kept those findings se cret?—A. Yes. Q. That we only have his plain unsupported statement?—A. Yes. Dr. Harris Not Guilt Of Breach of Ethics. Dorsey took the witness. Q. Is there any set of ethics that praohiblts those things?—A. I never heard of it. The witness was excused and Dr. John Funkie. who holds the chair of pathology and bacteriology at the Atlanta Medical College where he graduated twelve years ago, was called to the stand. Dorsey ques tioned him concerning an examina tion made of Mary Phagan’s body, and then pronounced his usual hypo thetical question about the cabbage. A. About the cabbage, I would not like to say positively that with the conditions found in the laboratory test taken into consideration, that the first six feet of the small intes tines were clear, and If there was found 32 degrees of combined hydro chloric acid, I would say the cab bage had been there an hour, maybe a little more or less. Arnold toqk the witness. Q. When Aid Dr. Harris come to you in regard to this exabination ?— A. He didn’t come to me. I was asked to look Into it last Saturday. Q. Who asked you?—A. Dr. Dor sey. the brother of the Solicitor. The witnes was excused and Dorsey tendered a telegram from Leo M. Frank to Adolph Montag. in New York, on April 28, as evidence. This telegram read: Atlanta. Ga.. April 28. IP 13. Adolph Montag. Imperial Hotel. New York. You may have read in Atlanta papers of factory girl found daad Sunday morning in cellar of pencil factory. Police will eventually sedve it. Assure mv uncle I am all right in eai»e he asks. Our company has case well in hand. LEO M. FRANK. O. M Rattle, manager of the Pos tal Telegraph Company was called. Dorsey au.stloned him. Q. Up April dvl either Frank or the Ndtionul Pencil Company do business with you?—A. I could not ^ say. Q. Did Frank 4end a telegram through your company on April It ?— A 1 have one dated April 29. “I made a mistake,” said Dorsey. ‘‘It was April 28. It waj received April 29. I Just put him up because he said he could not divulge anything except In court.” The witness was excused. W. G. Peeples. of tlie Western Union Telegraph Company, was called. Q. Did the Western Union Tele graph Company have any telegrams sent by Leo M. Frank on April 26, 27 or 28?—A. No. Q. Did your company have any on the dates covered by the subpend duces tecum?—A. Yes. Q. Let me have them. Dorsey looked at the telegrams and said: “Your honor, these are not signed by Frank and 1 don’t care to intro duce them.” Girl Says Frank’s Character Is Bad.

Rosser took the witness on cross- examination. Q. Where did you work? Dorsey interrupted to say: “I haven’t finished. I have another ques tion yet.” Q. Are you acquainted with Frank’s character for lasciviousness? That is, his conduct toward women? I don’t want you to answer until the Judge rules. Your honor, doesn’t the fact that he denies certain charges make my question admissible? Rosser: “Let the Jury retire if he is going to argue this, but your honor has already ruled.” The Jury left the room. Judge Roan: “Mr. Dorsey, give me some authority on that.” Dorsey: “We don’t need any au thority for that. The defendant’3 own statement makes it admissible.” Dorse* looked on his table for a copy of Frank’s statement, but did not find it. He continued addressing the court: “While this jury is out I want to say that I want to put up a witness who will say she saw Frank go In the dressing room on the fourth floor with a woman.” Rosser: “You have already ruled on that.” Dorsey: “This is a specific instance to rebut and impeach the statement of the girls on the fourth floor. We want to show that he went into that dressing room with a forelady.” Judge Roan: “You can show his general character for lasciviousness. I don’t know about the other. You will probably have to call the woman and put the question to her and then seek to impeach her.” The jury was ca ’ed back. Rosser—Your honor rules here on a trial for a Georgia murder that the Solicitor can ask about the defend ant’s character for lasciviousness? Judge Roan—I do.

On cross-exami nation she said she was not working now, and gave her residence as be ing twelve miles from Griffin. Miss Carrie Smith was the next witness. The rapidity with which she was chewing gum created a ripple of laughter in the courtroom, and depu ties were forced to rap for order. The witness testified that she worked on the fourth floor of the pencil fac tory, and that Frank’s character was bad. She was not acquainted with his character for lasciviousness.
