wanted to make an explanation of

ffhep»eent after him with two detec-’
tfwea. He wasn’t arrested—oh, no.
Bwf'tny friend Black said he was re
leased, When I asked him what that
meant, If he wasn’t arrested, he had
to ©droit that to all intents and pur-
potsf^s Frank was under arrest.
•Chief Lanford walked about with
Ms accustomed dignity, and Chief
Beavers, the beautiful one, scudded
•round, and they left Frank to soak.”
Here Rosser turned to Frank.
“That’s the only time in this whole
thing,” he said, “you didn't show good
sense. If you had known what I know
about that bunch, you wouldn't have
gotten one lawyer, but would have
gotten two goods ones, and you
wouldn’t have been satisfied then.
“But old man Slg Montag was a lit
tle wiser than Frank. He knew that
bunch. He was onto their curves. I
am going to be mighty careful,
though, about what I say about that
police bunch, because if they take a
notion they would get me for white
slavery before to-night.
“At any rate, Sig Montag called
Herbert Haas and told him to go
down there and see what is the mat
ter with Leo Frank. Haas could not
go. I will give a house and lot worth
$20,000 to be in the same position he
was that day. His wife was pre
paring to have a baby.
Not Arrested, But
Had To Be “Released.”
“Sig took the automobile and went
down to Haas’ house and said you
must go. They went to the police
station, and what happened? That
throws a whole flood of light on the
matter.
“No, Frank was not arrested, but
he had to be released. I said to John
Black, ‘John, what do you mean by
released?’ He stammered and stut
tered, and said, ‘Why, I just mean
released.’
“These men went down to see a
man who was not under arrest.
was a free citizen sitting there, and
yet they wouldn’t let his friends see
him. They wouldn’t let his lawyer
Haas see him.
•'This mail Haas is not of my age
or of my flesh, or of my experience.
He called me up. If there is any
crime in that he is the guilty man.
My friend Dorsey, with hi* eyes close
together, snapping like snake's, made
much of the fact that Frank had
hired the lawyer. The charges and
insinuations that he has made are
the most contemptible that ever have
occurred in a Georgia court. The
things that he has done in this trial
will never be done again in Georgia. I
will stake my life on that.

of the detectives got up and
, No, we lia'-epit’ Yet they talk
ed about him not being under arrest
at that time.
Why Didn’i They
Want Me There?
"Someone said, ‘They want him to
make a statement.’ I said, ‘Let him
go ahead and make it.’ Right away
Lanford and the others hustled him
over to a room. They didn’t want me
to go with him.
“Now, I have always been a little
bit Impudent, and when I started in,
they said, ‘We don’t want you in
here,’ and I said, kind of impudent-
like, ‘I’m coming in, anyway. I won’t
interrupt him, but I’m coming in.’
’’And why didn't they want me in
there? I don’t know. Wasn’t I as
reputable a citizen as Lanford?
Wasn't I as capable of protecting the
law as he was? Gentlemen, while we
were there a peculiar thing hap
pened. I said a man could not have
committed that crime and not have
scars upon him. Frank showed them
that he had no marks upon himself.
"Why didn’t Lanford get upon the
stand. Was it-because he dreaded to
get in converse with me? No, he
didn’t want to recall that dark Con
ley chapter; that hideous Minola Mc-
Knlght incident.
"And after they had released Frank,
what did they do? They went out to
his (rouse and looked at his soiled
linen, and what evidence did they
find? Not a thing.
"If Frank had been a guilty man,
do you know what he would have
done? Gentlemen of the Jury, he
would have kept quiet. He would
have kept his silence to himself. But
he was not guilty and he did not do
that. But he went home with the
thought of this horrible murder in
his mind. He thought of how a beast
had committed the crime; of how
God's laws had been outraged; of hiw
there was a stain upon the fair name
of this city.
Says Frank Wanted
To Find Slayer.
“Then he sat down and did what?
He telephoned Sig Montag that he
wanted to hire detectives; that he
wanted to ferret out and punish the
murderer o fMary Phagan.
“I have not had *oo high an esti
mate of the detective department. I
don’t mean they are not good, clever
fellows, but no man can spy on folks,
come in constant contact with crime
and elevate his character. God Al
mighty couldn’t do it.
“You,” and here Rosser turned
again to the detectives, “may not be
made worse men, but you won’t be
made better men. Nor Scott; I am
sorry he has gone and will not hear
what I have got to say. He crept into
this case In the most remarkable sit
uation I ever heard of. He got up on
the stand and said, ‘We worked hand
and glove with the city detectives.’
Ain’t that a fine gang? Do nothing
outside of what the city police do.
“Hiring Detective
A Courageous Deed. ’ ’
“Some good man will hire him
again. But I don’t care anything
about that. I will let it go. The point
is that F*rank knew that Scott was
going to work with the police. I will
give Scott credit for being that hon
est. He told Frank he was going to
lock arms with John Black and waik
down the disgraceful avenue of this
case.
“This young Jew, just down from
the North, ignorant of Southern cus
toms, hired a Pinkerton detective to
ferret out the crime. The detective
told him he was going to trail with
the police. Frank told him, ‘Find the
murderer.’ He knew Scott was going
to trail with the police, even if Frank
himself was trailed.
“Ah. gentlemen, his race has pre- (
rented many a heroic scene, but nev
er one greater than this. Yet they
want to hang him because he em
ployed a detective.
“My friend Hooper charged that he
tried to point suspicion on Newt Lee.
I don’t believe Hooper meant what he
said. Frank first said there was no
error in the time slips. The next day
he said there was. Darley made the
same mistake. Why not hang Dar
ley?.
“Then do you remember what ne
said about the time being rubbed off
of that slip? Dorsey had to admit
that he erased it. I don’t mean that
Dorsey meant any harm.
Denounces Bloody
Shirt Evidence.
“Then the bloody shirt. Gentlemen,
that is the most unfair thing in this
whole case—to charge that that young
man had that shirt planted. Black
and Scott went out and found that
shirt in the bottom l! an old barrel
at Newt Lee’s house. They found it
Tuesday morning, brought it in and
Newt said it was his shirt.”
Dorsey jumped to his feet at this
moment and exclaimed that such was
Luther Rosser s Tribute to the Jury
“We walk the streets carelessly, absorbed in our own interests. We pass our friends, and do not recognize them. The
mind wanders in flights of fancy and fits of revelry. We mean no harm to ourselves nor harm to our friends, but we are careless.
“Men of the jury, you are set aside. You cease to be a part of that revelry of the streets. In old pagan Rome women
walked the streets, chatted gaylv and carelessly, but a few were set aside—the vestal virgins. They cared not for the gladiatorial
combats or the strife.
“So it is with you set apart. You care not for the chatter or the laughter of the rabble. You are unprejudiced. Yours-
is the sworn duty to pass on a matter of life and death. You are to decide on the evidence, with no fear, no favor, no affection.
“Others may take the brave task of standing up for the weak and oppressed, but it is not for you. You are a s'till, silent,
. consecrated band. You are to do your duty without one thought of the past or the future. You are here and now consecrated by
justice to do your duty.”
not the testimony. Rosser said:
“Newt Lee did. I got it out of one
of those boys on the stand.”
“No, he didn’t,” replied Dorsey. “Lee
said it looked like a shirt of lyls.”
“Well, we’ll admit it then,” Rosser
continued; “we will just put it that
way. We will suppose they went out
and got a bloody shirt just like the
one old Newt Lee wore and hid it in
that barrel.
“Frank didn’t even know where
old man Lee lived. He certainly didn’t
know he had a shirt that looked like
that one. I never heard of going to
such extremities to try to hang an
innocent man.
“But old man Lee—I don’t believe
he hadanything to do with the crime
itself I never will believe anything
but that he found that corpse earlier
than he said he did. I can't under
stand how he knew it was white when
it took the detectives so long to find
cut. 1 can’t understand how he saw
the body from where the detectives
themselves said It was Impossible to
see it.
“And he said the f^ce was turned
up and the police found it different.
I am mighty afraid the old man knew
it’ was a white girl, but I still don’t
believe he had anything to do with
the crime itself. If he did, he is the
most remarkable old negro that ©ver
lived.
“Shame the Way They
Treated Newt Lee. ”
“If I nad his endurance, I would
talk forever. It will be N a shame to
the dying day of every member of
that detective department the way
they treated that poor old man. They
talked to him until he got weary and
his head hung low, and then they
sent in a fresh relay, and when it
looked like he couldn’t endure it any
longer, they would come in with a
battery of pistols and poke them in
his face.
“I am afraid Newt Lee saw the
body before he said he did. But he
is a wonderful negro. Oh, the dirty
trick that you played on him will be
a shame to you as long as you live.
(Rosser looked at the detectives.) You
hammered away at that old negro all
hours of the night. But Newt wore
the detectives out in relays. They
fired pistols near him.
“I am afraid he know* more about
this than he ever has told. Let us
listen to the story that he told. He
told of coming to the factory that
night and that Gantt and he stood out
In front of the factory. He said that
Frank appeared alarmed when he
came out and ran into Gantt.
“But the explanation that the negro
gave was the very best that could be
given. He said, ’I knew they had had
some trouble, and I thought Gantt
wa§ there to do Mr. Frank dirt.’ Lee
and Gantt both say now that Frank
jumped back, but neither said it be-*
fore the Coroner’s inquest.
No Wonder Frank
Jumped at Seeing Gantt.
“Is it to be wondered at that Frank
jumped, if he actually did Jump, which
I doubt? Why, you could take him
and put him on the top floor of the
factory with a girl the size of Mary
Phagan and she could make him jump
out of the window. He is not a
strong man. He is a physical weak
ling, comparatively. I am not say
ing this unkindly, but the Jewish peo
ple, once the bravest pn earth, are
not the fighters now that they used
to be.
“As he came out of th© factory he
was confronted by this giant, Gantt.
He might have jumped back. If lit
tle Dorsey had come out suddenly
like that in the night he would have
bent his back into a bow Jumping
back. It Is little groveling, spake-
like suspicions like this that have
marked Dorsey’s whole case against
the defendant.
“They said also that Frank had
thrown suspicion on Gantt. Scott
gets up now and says that Frank told
him Gantt was familiar with the lit
tle Phagan girl, not in a bad way, as
there has been no reflection upon this
little girl’s character, but that they
were friends in a good way. But,
gentlemen of the jury, Scott didn’t
say that in his reports to us. He
didn’t say that in his reports to the
police. He didn’t say that in his re
ports to his agency, and now, in this
connection, the understanding was
that the Pinkertons were to furnish
the police their reports 24 hours be
fore they gave them to us. And this
was done all the way through.
“Now for old Newt Lee, and then I
am through with the suspicious cir-
cumstancese. Frank had told old
Newt to come early Saturday, as that
was a holiday, and having in his jnind
at the time that he was going to the
ball game.
“The suspicion has been cast be
cause he was afraid that he might
discover something, that he might
make the grewsome find uf that cruel
ly mutilated body In the basement.
“Is it conceivable that by a trick he
would get oid Newt away for two
hours and then leave him the whole
night alone in the building where he
was sure to discover the body? Then
we know that Frank went home and
calmly ate his supper; that he read,
that he was light-hearted and told a
joke. And my brother gets up and
charges that Frank was so callous
that he laughed.
“Oh, gentlemen of the Jury, can
you imagine that laugh? If Frank
had been guilty of murder it would
have been the laugh of a maniac.
Now, Frank Ls smart. Is there a
man here who Is such a fool that he
believes that Frank would have sent
the watchman away by a trick for
two hours and would have then left
the body with no one but Newt in
the building? And Newt there all
night?
“Gentlemen, that would have
weighed on his mind. He would have
been raving like a maniac, waiting to
be called by old Newt to be told of
the grewsome find. Can you believe
it? Oh, such a stigma; oh, such a
hideous plot.
No Chnce for Him
To Commit Crime. ,
“There is one other suspicion. They
say he was in the factory the time
Mary Phagan was. But, "•entlemen,
you know this only because Frank
says it. You didn’t have to fish it
out. He was not the only man there.
If the corpse had been found there
and he was the only man in the build
ing, it might have been some proof;
but there were others. He was In an
opqn room. He had company every
hour. Unless he was some magician
there was no chance for him to com
mit the crime. Up on the fourth
floor were two young men.
“If there is one thing indelibly fixed
in this case, it is that this young boy
could not see ingoers and outgoer*
of that factory. 'Conley or some other
negro was seen In the hall on the
first floor. Yesterday there came out
like a ray of sunlight on a wicked j
world another negro, a lighter one.
They had the same opportunity to
commit this murder that Frank had.
Who knows what white-faced scoun
drel might have lurked around among
those machine^.
“Gentlemen, these facts drive out
any suspicion that he did the deed
simply because he was there. Father
of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, father
of us all, may no such mean prejudice
rankle in the hearts of this conse
crated jury, to the undoing of this
unfortunate young boyl
“I know you will not blame me if
I fail in my feeble steps to walk over
this same ground that this legal giant
(referring to Arnold) did yesterday.
So I will touch briefly on some of
these points.
“I come to Conley. That part of
the case fatigues my indignation.
That white men should believe this
infamous character is a shame on
this great city and this great State,
and will be to the end of time. .Who
is this Conley? Let’s see who he
used to be. A plain, dirty, filthy,
drunken, lying, and I expect, lousy,
negro.
Scores Scott,
Pinkerton Detective.
“Have 1 overstated that? Starnes
knows I have not. Black knows I
have hot. I don’t know whether Chief
Reavers’ dignity has ever got down
low enough for him to see him. but
if it has, he knows it. Now Black,
he of the doubtful memory, he would
remember one thing one time and the
next time he wouldn’t—there was a
good deal of fun made over Black,
but I say he was trying to tell the
truth and got mixed. But he is in a
heap better fix than Scott. Scott—
well. I’ve seen a heap of men heavier
up here (pointing to his forehead). He
might detect a louse with a spy
glass; I don’t think he could do more.
‘‘I said, ‘Scott, what about that
negro? Does he look like he did when
you got him here?’ He said ‘No!’ I
said. They have slicked him up a
little bit, haven’t they?’ And he had
to admit it. And shame to them.
Who was it that took this dirty, filthy
negro, gave him warm baths and good
clothes, and brought him out here to
make his dirty, lying testimony be
fore detectives? I don’t charge that
to anybody, because I don’t know who
it was, but it is as dirty and con
temptible a piece of work as was
ever done. They shaved that dirty
wool and his bestial face; and if I
knew who was responsible for It I’d
call his name.
“I’ve had that Joke played on me.
nearly, once before. Some railroad
lawyer dressed up a brakeman who
was suing the railroad and brought
him into court, but I never heard of
it being done in a case of life and
death.
It is very hard to find a man that
somebody won’t believe. There’s
Dalton; some few believed him. But
who was there, in all that crowd, who
would say they would believe Jim
Conley?
Black Hypocrisy
Charged to Dalton.
"What a contempt Black has for
this man Dalton. What a contempt
that son of Erin (pointing; out Pat
Campbell) has for him.
“Yet they found people who would
testify io his good character and to
his reputation for truth and veracity.
One man said that Dalton had joined
the church and, so far as he knew, he
was a good church member now.
Thus was the blackest hypocrisy add
ed to his other evil characteristics
But they found sponsors for him.
“But who was Conley? Who would
stand up and say his character was
good? Who would be sponsor for
him ?
“Do you, Starnes? Stand up if you
do.
“Do you, Black? Stand up.
“Do you, Campbell?
“Do you, Rosser? Rosser is one
whose ancestors trod the earth in the
same places as mine, and I know he
wouldn’t hang a suck-egg dog on the
testimony of this lying nigger Con
ley. /
“They have swept every back al
ley in Atlanta to get someone who
would stand up and say that he was
an honest nigger. But they found not
a soul. Who is there that will stand
up and marry the nigger Conley to
the truth? Not a person.
Failed to Prove
Frank a Pervert.
“My friends on the other side have
attempted to make this young man
before you a pervert. They tried to
do it on the lying testimony of this
nigger, unsupported by a single other
person. But they didn’t do it.
“But even if they had proved it be
yond doubt, it could not enter into
this case. This boy is being tried for
murder, and if he is a thousand times
a pervert, that can not be allowed to
sway your verdict.
“The vilest thing in this case is
the dragging of this issue into the
trial on the unsupported word of the
lying nigger who is trying to save his
own neck by any foul lies which he
can shape.
“Yet the Solicitor made the charges
here in open court. He made them
before the Jury, before everyone in
the courtroom. He made them be
fore the young wife of the defendant.
He made them uselessly and pur
poselessly. They could serve only one
purpose. The sole explanation is that
the Solicitor made them to add a lit
tle strength to his case, to serve his
leaping ambition to win his case and
send a man to the gallows. It is im
possible that it was done in the in
terests of Justice.
“A dirty thief and liar was brought
into the courtroom to destroy a man’s
character. My indignation can not be
put in words.”
Court adjourned at this point for
the noon recess. Attorney Rosser say
ing that as it waa near the recess
hour he would prefer to stop his ad
dress at that time, as h© did not want
to be interrupted In his closing at the
afternoon session.
Women Early
To Get Seats.
Attorney oRs/er resumed his ad
dress at 2 o'clock. He said that he
would probably consume about half
or three-quarters of an hour longer
Many women were in the courtroom
during the afternoon, having been al
lowed to come In early and get seals.
Several hundred men were on the
outside trying to get admission when
the court opened.
Attorney Rosser said:
“Gentlemen of the Jury, when re
cess came I was Just saying how hor
rible it was that this charge of per
version had been made against the
defendant. Dorsey made the charge
through his lying witness Conley. No
other witness in this case has made
such a suggestion as that mad^ by the
negro.
‘‘It was a horrible thing—a thing
inconceivable that such an accusation
should be brought in here. Conley
had no one to support him except
Dalton, and palton did not say that
he ever had seen Frank in any wrong
conduct. Dalton merely said that h«>
had seen women in Frank’s office.
When questioned, he was unable to
say that he ever saw’ Frank do a
wrong act.
“Dalton in his story said that he
was with Daisy Hopkins in the fac
tory.
“But Conley says that It wa» Frank
who had Daisy Hopkins. This is the
Important point on which these two
liars differ. Conley said that Dalton
was with some ‘peach,’ some lesser
beauty, living between Haines and
Hunter streets. *
Says Conley Has
“Butted In” for Life.
“He went to that Butt Inn saloon
and Lord bless my soul, he has butted
in for life. He gave a detailed state
ment of seeing those negroes and
taking drinks with them. Did any
one of them come here to say he did?
Did that negro come here that Con
ley said he shot dice with—the negro
with the w'hip around his neck? Did
that bartender come here w’ho mixed
his wine and beer?
“Now, these police know those ne
groes on Peters street lots better than
they do you and I. It is their busl-
nesss to know them. They know
those dicemen around there like a
book. If Conley had given a single
correct name, time, place or inci
dent, they would have had that whole
horde of negroes lined up here.
“Another thing, he said dice: He
would have said craps, until those po
licemen got him and talked to him.
He said his name was James Conley;
he certainly would have said Jim^ if
they hadn’t have been after him
said ‘Snowball’ heard Frank tell hi
to come back and watch for him, bu 1
Snowball said he didn’t. Snow’ball is
just a plain, ordinary, African negro.
He didn’t know how to tell a lie.
“And then they talk about Frank
trying to mak e the police suspect
somebody if he could. Why, it is
Just like an English sparrow sus
pecting a horse and then following
him a mile.”
An eloquent four-and-a-half ad
dress by Reuben Arnold for the de
fense marke dthe first day of the
arguments in the Frank trial. Only
two addresses were made to the Jury,
that by Arnold and the opening argu
ment of the State by Attorney Frank
A. Hooper, who has been associated
with Solicitor Dorsey in the prosecu
tion df the case.
Hooper spoke in th© forenoon from
9 o’clock until 11:30. Arnold began
his remarkable speech at 11:50 and
was interrupted by recess at 12:30
o’clock. He resumed at 2 and con
tinued until 5:50 in the evening.
Arnold a speech was remarkable for
the minute detail with which it cov
ered practically every important
phase of the great murder mystery,
for Its satire, for its flashes of humor
and sarcasm, for its impassioned ap
peal for the life and liberty of a man
who was described as the innocent
victim of one of the most nefarious
plots ever hatched against a man’s
character.
The lawyer in bitter words charged
that if it had not been for Frank’s
race he never would have been on
trial for his life. He charged that the
State had been compelled to bring Us
witnesses from the dregs of human
ity, from the Jails and from the con
vict camps, to perfect the terrible I
conspiracy against Frank.
He asserted that the Solicitor had
been forced to warp and stretch the
probabilities to the breaking point jn
order to bring about a suppositious
situation in which it would have been
possible for* Frank to have commit
ted the crime and gone through the
disposal of Mary Phagan’s body as
described by Jim Conley. They built
up a structure of testimony against
Frank by their own witnesses, he
charged, and then proceeded to de
molish It because it would not fit in
with their theories or with the prob
abilities of the case.
Laughs at State's
Chain of Circumstances.
He held up to ridicule the theory of
the State that the attack could have
been premeditated on the part of
Frank. He laughed at the chain of
antecedent circumstances which the
Solicitor and Attorney Hooper had
endeavored to link together to show
that Frank on Friday was contem
plating the attack Saturday on the
little factory girl.
He did not believe that Frank on
Friday at 3 o’clock asked Jim Con-
