CRACKERS TAKE FIRST The Atlanta Georgian. Read for Profit-~GEORGIAN WANT ADS—Use for Results ATLANTA, GA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1913. By Copyright 1906, The Georgian Co. 2 CENTS. p m a Jr£ p LATEST NEWS II sue THUS In a cold, cutting arraignment of the methods used to build up a case against Leo M. Frank, accused of the murder of Mary' Phagan, Reuben Arnold, of the accused man’s defense, Thursday afternoon unsparingly flayed Jim Conley as a perjurer and willing tool in the hands of men determined to convict an innocent man. Arnold’s attack minced no words. It bristles with scathing denunciation and bitter ridicule. Its impassioned appeal was in terspersed with sardonic humor that made a hostile court room lauhg. But its humor was only in flashes. Otherwise it fairly rang with accusation and denunciation. Arnold charged that the state had deliberately perverted evry innocent action into a circumstance pointing to guilt. Link by link, he hewed away at the prosecution’s chain. He ridiculed the theory of a premeditated attack, declaring that none but God could have known that Mary Phagan was to call for her pay on Saturday—a holiday. He said the State’s at tempt to prove premeditation was but an instance of its manyj '“wild guesses.” From tim eto time Arnold centered his attack on Conley. He said that the had never heard of a witness who was so thoroughly convicted of lying being put forward as one to be believed. V His address followed a scathing arraignment of Frank by Frank A. Hooper, who opened the argument for the State and demanded the conviction of the defendant on the plea that the evidence presented left no other conclusion than of Frank’s guilt. Charges Efforts To Make Time Agree. Directing his remarks as much to the counsel for the State as i to the twelve men in the jury box, Arnold charged that in order to place Frank’s life in jeopardy, Solicitor Dorsey and his colleague, Hooper, had gone to the extreme length of assuming on the one hand that the street car on which Mary Phagan came to town was several minutes ahead of time and on the other, that the clock at the factory was five or ten minutes behind time. They had established by their own witness, George Epps, he said, that Mary arrived in town at 12:07 o’clock and then forth with had started out to destroy Epps’ testimony and arouse the assumption that she got in town at 12:02 or 12:03. Arnold was only well started on his address when recess came at 12:30. He began a review of all of the circumstances preceding and following the crime as soon as court opened in the afternoon. Through all the day Frank’s mother and wife sat by him. The younger Mrs. Frank sat much of the time with her arm linked with that of her husband. Very little change in the appearance tof the three persons was observable. Frank smiled slightly when Hooper satirically was describing Frank’s actions at the Selig home Saturday night when he is said to have interrupted a card game which was in progress by the relation of a funny story he had read in a magazine. Hooper Emphasizes Gantt’s Trip to Factory. Mr. Hooper emphasized various features of the State’s case that had not been clearly brought out before, dwelling particularly on the incident of J. M. Gantt’s visit to the factory on the after noon of the tragedy and how Frank had at first refused to let him enter, and how the accused man had called up Newt Lee, the watchman, later, fearful, said Hooper, that Gantt had discovered something. After Hooper had finished his argument he began presenting authorities to the judge to guide him in making his charge to the jury. He declared that the jury should not be charged that direct evidence was superior to circumstantial evidence. Before Thursday’s session began Frank had expressed him self as entirely confident of the outcome. ‘‘I am certain that I will be acquitted and set right before SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21.— The members of the panel from among whom twelve jurors will be selected to try F. Drew Cami- netti on a charge of violating tho white slave law, were warned to day not to discuss the case of Caminetti or the case of Maury I. Diggs which ended last night in a conviction of the former state architect. WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.— President Wilson will send a spe cial messane to Congress on the Mexican situation either to-mor row or Saturday, it was stated at the White House late to-day. This message it was indicated, will in clude an outline of the American propolals sent to Mexico with En voy Lind, and the complete text of the replv of President Huerta. It will contain no comment from President Wilson. LAUREL MISS, Aug. 21.— Cleveland Bush, circuit clerk of Jones Counts died here to-day from blood poisoning as the re sult of two pistol wounds inflicted in hip heart a month ago. His father, wnom he succeeded, cut his own throat several months ago and died. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21.— The members of the panel from among whom twelve jurors will be selected to try F. Drew Cam* in©tti on a charge of violating the white slave law, were warned to-day not to discuss the case of Camnetti or the case of Maury L. Digs which ended last night in a conviction of the former State architect. I DEAD IN FIGHT the world,” he said. ‘‘It has been a terrible ordeal, but I await the outcome with the ut most confidence.” "May It pleair* your honor and gen tlemen of the jury/' began Mr. Hoop er, "the object of this trial, as of all other cases. Is the ascertaining cf truth and the attainment of justice. I want to distinctly Impress upon you the correctness of our position. W> are not seeking a verdict of guilty unless this man !s guilty. "We want It distinctly understood that the burden of proving him guilty Is on our shoulders. We recognize that this has got to be done beyond a reasonable doubt, and from the evi dence. We cheerfully assume this burden. "There is not one connected with the prosecution who would see a hair of the head of this man injured wrongfully. "We want him to have the rights and protection of the law just as any As a result of a knife battle fought within a few yards of the doors of the New Hope Church, in Cobb County, three miles out of Marietta, after prayer meeting Wednesday night, two men are dead, one is probably fatally wounded and a fourth is held by a Coroner’s verdict on a charge of murder. The dead are Fred Lemmings and John McElroy. John Harper has wounds in a shoulder and lung and is in a serious condition. Fred Harper is held by the Coro ner’s jury charged with killing Lem mings. The trouble between the Harpers and the Lemmings dates back to the last term of the Cobb County Su perior Court, when Charles Lem mings, a brother of Fred Lemmings, was sentenced to the chaingang on a charge of cursing before women. The Lemmings clan assert that he was not guilty, but had been railroaded to the chaingang through false testi mony. Wednesday night the warring class met at the doors of New Hope Church. When the pastor pronounced the benediction and the congregation filed slowly out of the little church, the warring families met almost di rectly in front of the doors. Hot words were exchanged. Knives flashed and the battle began amid the screams of the women and children. want it distinctly understood that we other citizen.

Thaw into New York by Canada was carried to the very seat of the Do minion Government to-day by W. L. Shurtleff, of counsel for Thaw. Shurtleff left here for the Canadian capital to lay Thaw’s case before the Department of Immigration. Mr. Shurtleff said he would make a direct appeal for the release of Thaw on the ground that he is il legally detained here. “We will ask ‘British justice' for Thaw,” said Mr. Shurtleff. "If Thaw’ is to be sent out of this country, we contend he should be deported at the point where he entered Canada and not turned over to New York.” It was learned that Mr. Shurtleff carried a promise from Thaw to the immigration authorities in Ottawa to leace Canada at once if allowed to choose his destination. This destina tion would be either Europe or South America. Judge Arthur Olobensky postponed the hearing of arguments on Thaw’s petition for freedom on a writ of ha beas corpus from 10 o’clock this morning until next Wednesday morn ing. May Seek Further Delay. Thaw’s counsel said they would seek further delay until next Monday. After a long night conference, coun sel for Thaw’ decided that they would not produce the Matteawan fugitive in the Superior Court to-day on the writ obtained yesterday. It was supposed that Thaw’’s law yers did not wish to subject him so soon to the danger of arrest by the immigration authorities. District Attorney E. A. Conger, of Dutchess County. New York (in which Matteawan is located), w’as unable to see Thaw’ until to-day, al though Sheriff Hornbeok. also of Dutchess County, who arrived here with Mr. Conger, was able to get to the prisoner. Hornbeck has in his pocket a warrant charging Thaw with conspiring "against the peace and dignity of the State of New York to escape from the State asylum at Mat- teawan.” An investigation of the manner in which Thaw came into possession of a railroad ticket for Detroit, Mich., is being made. The Dominion authori ties are not satisfied that Thaw* bought the ticket himself. It was learned from an authorita tive source that immigration officers who are here plan to arrest Thaw’ on the ground that he smuggled his way into Canada if he gets his freedom on a habeas corpus writ. The village of St. Hermenegitde, where Thaw and his companions came into Can ada from the United States, is not a port of entry. AT TORONTO. FIRST—About 5 furlongs: Johnnie Harris 105 (G.

McKee Wed nesday denounced a.s false the state ment that he would comply with the demand of First Assistant Postmaster General Roper and resign his position as postmaster of Atlanta. "Most emphatically do I assert,” said Mr. McKee, "that I will fight the recent request of the department. Had my resignation merely been requested on the grounds that the Administra tion w ished to appoint another man, a member of the Democratic party, in my place, I most certainly w’ould have complied with the request at once. "In the letter demanding my resig nation it was stated that charges of inefficiency had been filed againat me. I will not resign without knowing what these charges are. I am guilty of absolutely no violation of any rules of the Postoffice Department and can disprove any charges. "While it is true that perhaps I am not familiar with all the minor de tails of the postal service, I have men under me who are familiar with them. All complaints come to me. Hence I know when everything is running smoothly. Mr. Cole, my assistant, is competent to hanule all financial mat ters, and my superintendent of mails, Mr. Hart, is a man with eighteen years’ experience in the postal service.
