SOLICITOR MAKES STRONG SUMMING UP AGAINST ACCUSED
We Want Frank Convicted According to Law Only, Declares Hugh Dorsey
PREJUDICE ISSUE BROUGHT
' ONLY, SAYS
IN FINAL SPEECH
Continued from Page 1.
his charfe His honor will say to
you not to convict this defendant un
less you are convinced of his guilt
beyond a reasonable doubt.
“And what is thi^*easonable doubt ?
The Jurors get an idea that there Is
something mysterious about this. But
it is as plain as the nose on your
face. It is a thing that speaks for it
self. It is not perceptible of any defi
nition. Anyone who attempts to de
fine it uses tautology; he uses the
same word over again. Its best defi
nition is contained in the eighty-third
Georgia Report, which says:
“ ‘A reasonable doubt is one op-
oposedt o an unreasonable doubt. It
is one for which a reason can be
given. And is one based on reason.
Such a doubt leaves the mind in an
uncertain and wavering condition. It
is impossible to say with reason and
moral certainty that a person is
guilty.
“If you have a doubt it must be
such a doubt as to control and decide
your conduct in the highest and most
important affairs of life. It was not
as was said in the case of John way
back in the Thirty-third Georgia that
possibility of the 'accused not being
guilty was sufficient. It must be stich
a doubt as a reasonable honest man
in an honest investigation would en
tertain as to the truth.
“That authority is from the Forty-
seventh Georgia. It must not be a
doubt that might be conjured up; It
must not be such a doubt as one
might claim to acquit a friend. It
must not bs a trivial doubt; a bare
possibility. It must not be the doubt
of a crank or an oversensitive person
Doubt, He Says,
Must Be Reasonable.
“The reasonable doubt must be
based on practical, common sense.
There must not be acquittal every
time there is doubt. In that case
there would be acquittal in all cases.
As Chief Justice White stays, every
bit of evidence dependent on human
morals is subject to some doubt. This
doubt is incapable of precise defini
tion. But a comprehension of its
meaning follows directly the words.
Some say circumstantial evidence is
not as good as direct evidence. That
is not so. according to these authori
ties. It is a popular fallacy that has
no place in a courthouse. And I am
coming to Mr. Arnold’s Durant case
in a minute.
“If circumstantial evidence satis
fies the mind, it fs as good as positive
evidence. The doctrine of reasonable
doubt, as shown by the defense, origi
nated back yonder at the time when
a man was not allowed counsel.
“As we progress with our improved
methods, that idea will be dropped al
together. The State has got all kinds
of burdens and difficulties to sur
mount. It never was better illus
trated than in this case.
“Don’t think this matter is a subtle,
illusive something. When you get
your ideas as a man, you have got
them as a juror, you can get up any
kind of an excuse for turning loose a
man, but that must be outside of a
j,ury box. You can not turn a man
loose here on any light, fanciful con
jecture. That would violate your
oath, and I know' you won’t do that.
Upholds Evidence
That Is Circumstantial.
“In the Ninety-second Georgia they
speak of it thus: reasonable doubt
dots not mean a vague conjectural
doubt; a doubt conjured up in the
minds of a juror, but a decision on the
evidence in the case. It means a
doubt which w'ould cause a juror to
hesitate to proceed in his common,
everyday business walk of life.’
“It is a moral certainty which you
are after, gentlemen. The certainty
brought to your mind by the facts in
the case. And now lete us pass from
the reasonable doubt proposition to
circumstantial evidence. There are
some people who say they will not
convict on circumstantial evidence.
Such talk as that is the merest bosh.
They say they should not convict a
man unless it is absolutely known
that he committed a crime. But, gen
tlemen of the jury, the authorities say
it is the best evidence. It is sad to
say the juries are reluctant to con
vict on circumstantial evidence.
“It is true that recently there have
been main failures to convict on cir
cumstantial evidence, but a man
should not be declared innocent by a
Jury on some trivial fancy. The evi
dence in the case should satisfy every
Juror. You are to judge by the com
mon sense evidsnce. Any other rule
will expose society to the ravages of
the most depraved mind—the most
atrocious crimes generally perpetrat
ed in a manner and time which pre
cludes positive evidence against the
person committing it.
Brings in Famous
Durant Case Again.
“To refuse to convict on circum
stantial evidence is consistent with
every other hypothesis of the laws of
our land.
“Now, gentlemen, Mr. Arnold spoke
to you about that Durant case—that
celebrated case in San Francisco. He
said that case was the greatest crime
of the century. I don’t know w'here
Mr. Arnold got all the authority for
his statemen. On April 15, 1913, C. M.
Picket, District Attorney of the city
of San Francisco, wrote a letter ’’
Attorney Arnold interrupted the
Solicitor at this point, making the ob
jection that he could not permit the
Solicitor to read any letter.
Dorsey said: “It is not a letter I
w’ant to read; it is a telegram I re
ceived yesterday.
“I telegraphed to San Francisco
.yesterday.” said Dorsey; “I ask your
honor if I can not quote that in my
address to the jury. I am permitted
to argue what is a matter of public
notoriety.”
“I do not object to my brother ar
guing what is a matter of public no
toriety.” said Arnold, “but I must ob
ject when he attempts to read some
thing from some letter a friend of his
in San Francisco has written him. I
want here and now' to record my ob
jection to the Solicitor getting any
information from such a source.”
“Can’t I state w'hat I know about
the case,” demanded Dorsey. “I an
ticipated that some such claim as
this would be made, and that is w’hy
I made thei nvestigation.”
Judge Roan allowed Dorsey to tell
w’hat he knew about the case, but
would not permit him to read the let
ter or the telegram. Dorsey con
tinued:
Mr. Arnold, in discussing the un
certainties of circumstantial evidence
said that Theodore Durant had been
hanged for the murder of Blanche
Lament and Minnie Williams, and
that the real murderer had made a
death-bed confession.
Dorsey said, in contradicting this:
“My information is that nobody has
ever confessed to the murder of
Blanche and Minnie Williams. There
can be no doubt that this man Durant
was guilty. The body of one girl
was found in the belfry, and the oth
er in the basement. The forty-eighth
Pacific Reporter shows that the body
of one girl was stripped stark naked,
and was found in the belfry of the
Emmanuel church, San Francisco, af
ter she had been two weeks missing.
It shows that Durant who was a
medical student as well as a minis
ter, had a character far better than
this man Frank. It show's that al
though he was convicted in 1895, he
did not go to the gallows until 1898.
It shows that his mother cremated
the remains. That’s all poppycock
that Arnold has been talking about.
There never was a guiltier man than
Durant, and never a more courageous
jury.”
Attorney Arnold called attention to
thefact that the letter from this man
C. • M. Pickett was dated April 15,
nearly two weeks before the murder
of Mary Phagan. He made this state
ment to throw doubt on Dorsey’s
statement that he had made the in
vestigation in anticipation of Just
i such a story as Arnold had told.
“There are lust murderers,” said Mr.
Dorsey. “There are people who are
in the heighth ofexultation when
choking a girl to death with their
hands or with a cord. This man
had stripped the body, strangulation
was the cause of death. At that
time Durant was a young man of 24
years of age, a student at the Cooper
Medical School, a member of the army
signal corps, an attendant of the Em-
! manuel Baptist Church, assistant su
perintendent of the Sunday school
and librarian of the church.
“He was said to be religious; that,
of course, included charity. Among
his associates his character was re
garded as excellent. At his trial the
defense was an alibi—the last resort
to which the guilty man can come.
He declared he had seen Blanche La
ment on her way to school, but never
afterward. Th e contention of the
prosecution was that he murdered her
in the church. Both were attend
ants of the church, and members of
the Christian Endeavor Association.
Durant had keys to the side door of
the church, and was familiar with the
ihterior.
Likens Durant
Case to Frank’s.
than this defendant here to move
Mary Phagan’s body from the office
floor to the basement. The girl’s body
was found two weeks later. The
books still tightly strapped, were
found by her. She had last been seen
there a few minutes before the de
fendant, Durant, was seen there.
These facts were sufficient to justify
the hypothesis of Durant’s guilt. The
evidence of the defendant’s good
character was introduced and was in
his favor.
“That, gentlemen, is the case in
which Arnold says the Jury went
wrong; in which the higher court, the
community and the civilized world
went wrong. Despite the defendant s
Christian character. they Judged
against him. I do not *think Mr. Ar
nold would mislead you, but it is not
true that any man confessed to the
killing of Blanche Lamont. for the
murder was committed by Theo Du
rant.
“All this has no direct bearing on
this case before you. But I wanted
to clear away the underbrush •before
I began. If you think this man is in
nocent, you turn him loose. If you
think he is guilty, you put a cord
around his neck. I know you will do
as your conscience dictates. Charac
ter has much to do with this case, so
let us first establish his good char
acter.
Declares Defense
Gave Character Deft.
“A woman saw the defendant walk
ing up and down in front of the
schoolhouse that afternoon as though
waiting for someone. She saw the
defendant board a street car with two
girls.”
Mr. Dorsey was reading the com
plete story.of this case and pointing
out from time to time analogies to
the Phagan case. He continued:
“George King, organist, went to the
church that afternoon and was play
ing. Durant came in to the Sunday
school where he was and stood look
ing at him. He was very pale; his
coat and his hat were off; there were
no scratches or blood stains ,on him;
the organist asked him what was the
trouble. He said he had been fixing
the gas, not making up a financial
sheet.
“He said he had to rest. Frank
called off a baseball engagement. He
gave King 50 cents and asked for
bromo seltzer. Frank wanted cof
fee. He was nervous and had to sit
down to rest when they went away
from the church. Frank trembled on
Darley’s knee as they rode to the po
lice station. You can always tell;
the signs betray. Later the mother
of Blanche Lamont received ap ack-
age through the mail, with rings the
girl had worn wrapped in a news
paper. On the paper were written
the names of George King, church
organist, and Professor Schernstein,
musfic teacher.
“A pawnbroker testified that a man
had offered him one of those rings
in pawn. The person offering the
ring for sale was the defendant. I
emphasize defendant to show how ac
curate Mr. Arnold was. Of course, he
is an honorable man; he wouldn’t
mislead you. I am just reading the
record.
"This defendant claimed to be at
a class lecture. I will show you how
the alibi has been worked in this
case.
"Durant went to his friends and
asked for notes on the lecture which
he was supposed to have attended
that afternoon. He said that he had
forgotten to take any notes, but with
his friends’ notes he could easily
bring his up. Why, even in jail
there, he could have fixed up his
notes. This summarization of the
evidence in the Durant case is not
exhaustive; if it were it would show
many more facts which fastened the
chain around Durant. But briefly,
Blanche Lamont and her friend were
at the church at 4:30.
Demands to Know
Motive for Conley.
“At 5 o’clock the defendant was
seen just outside of it in a wild
and excited condition. He explained
his condition by the accidental in
halation of gas. At 6 o’clock he left
there. Blanche Lamont was never
sieen again and two weeks later her
body was found in the belfry.
“Now, tell me, what motive could
Conley have had to have knocked
Mary Phagan down that.scuttle hole.
Compare this with the motive of the
defendant.
“What greater motive could Durant
have had to move Blanche Lamont’s
body from the library to the belfry
“If they had not put his character
in issue, we would have been abso
lutely helpless. But they put his char
acter in issue, and we accepted the
challenge. And we have met it fully,
we maintain.”
Solicitor Dorsey at this time cited
a passage of law in respect to the
value of character testimony. He
said:
'“’The proof of good character will
not hinder the convicition of the de
fendant if the guilt is plainly proved
to the satisfaction of the jury.’
"You first have got to have a good
character before it weighs a feather
in the balance, and then remember it
is the hardest thing in the world to
do to break down a man’s character
in court, if it is any character at
all.
“When w’e sought to introduce
testimony of this sore, Attorney Ar
nold in his dramatic manner said:
‘I will move for a mistrial if this con
tinue.’ I don’t know whether his at
titude is one of th e characteristics of
a great lawyer. If it is, I don’t want
to be a great lawyer.
"Time and again, 'throughout this
trial, he has branded testimony of
this sort as lies of crack-brained fa
natics. He w’ould have done this if
he hadn’t realized the weight of evi
dence banked up against this man
who on April 26 snuffed out the life
of this little girl, Mary Phagan, in
the pencil factory.
“If such attributes as Attorney Ar
nold has displayed are those of great
lawyers, I don’t want to attain to their
greatness. I will put it up to your
verdict to determine who has been
telling the lies, and I will be satisfied
with your decision, too.
"Now this book says that if a man
has a good character it shall not hin
der convicition if evidence of his
guilt is sufficient to satisfy the jury.
It was in the Durant case, and I sub
mit there is sufficient proof in this
case, character or no character, to
demand conviction. It is not on pre
judice. I am coming to perjury after
awhile.
"Have I so far forgot myself that
I would ask you to convict that man
(pointing to Frank) if I thought
Conley was guilty? I am going to
talk to you a little about those con
scientious letters to the grand Jury,
asking Conley’s indictment.
“Dr. Billy Owens, who w r ent over
to that factory with a man named
Brent, afterwards called as a wit
ness, went over to that factory to
pull off that little farce. He is the
man whose conscience hurt him so
that he wrote to the grand jury, in
structing them what to do. And then
there was a man named Fleming with
them who wrote a letter to the grand
Jury.”
Rosser: “I object. There was no
evidence to any such a fact.”
Declares He Never
Will Indict Conley.
“Well, a man with the same name
and the same initials is the same
man who wrote a letter to the grand
Jury and who went to the factory.”
replied Dorsey. “Mr. Arnold, in his
argument, mentioned that Conley had
never been indicted. No, and he will
never be for this crime. The evi
dence shows him to be onlv an ac
cessory after the fact. Dr. Billy
Owens’ conscience may be smiting
him. as he sits in his office building
houses and shooting something into
people’s noses, but unless something
comes out, something that has not
bem developed during this trial, T
will tell you that you have got to
get another solicitor general before I
will m ike any effort to hang that ne
gro Conley, lousy negro that he is.
If that Is treason, make the most of
it. I have my own conscience to
keep.
“Knowing we could not put in spe
cific instances of the real charges
against his character unless they
brought it in. and not wanting to do
it in the presence of his mother, who
has charged, ‘You dog. you do not
know it either,’ we refrained from It.
“But the defense could have
brought it in, yet they dared not. The
witnesses were there who could have
told much on cross-examination, but
they dared not cross-examine him.
W-' gave them the opportunity, but
they didn’t dare take it. We could
not go beyond the formal genera!
character questions but we put these
girls upon the stand and they could
nave told. These girls are poor, but
pure and truthful, but the defense
dared not bring it up once.
“Do you mean to tell me that the?ie
good people who live out on Washing
ton street, these reputable Hebrew
citizens, officials of the Orphans’
Home and Dr. Marx knew' the real
character of Leo M. Frank as dti
these girls w r ho had worked with him
at the pencil factory and who are
not working there now because they
learned his true character.
“I tell you that it is a dastardly
suggestion that this evidence was
framed up. Do you think that Starnes
and Campbell and Rosser would go
out and get a girl to come in her'?
and swear that Frank’s character w’as
bad if it were not true. Gejitlemen,
thia can not be done. ’T'he trouble
with this world is hat there is too
nyuch shinannigin. There is not
enough of the truth and sticking to
facts. People who associated with
Dr. Jekvll don’t know Mr. Hyde. And
Leo Frank and his friends did not
call Dr. Marx to the pencil factory on
Saturdays.
"But the girls there knew' his char
acter; they knew it was bad. and
they left there. If old Jim Conley
didn’t get every bird in the covey, be
got in amongst them. He flushed
Daisy and he flushed Dalton. He said
that he saw’ Frank, and we have the
w<trd of a reputable man that he saw
Dalton enter the factory.”
“If you are a man of good char
acter and you are haled into court
and your character is attacked, yo l
have recourse. Your counsel has the
right of cross-examination; your
counsel has the right to find out what
the witnesses know' and where they
got their information.
“If your counsel had this right, you
wouldn’t let them remain in silence,
would you? Not if you w'ere a man
of good character a d wanted to de
fend it.
"You would w’ant to investigate
what had been published to the worl i
and nail it as a lie. It was allowable
for the defense to cross-examine and
to inquire about the facts concerning
this man.
"This situation has a Very vital
bearing on the guilt or Innocence of
this defendant. This silence does not
comport with innocence. This man
was overcome by his passion. It
ruled him and made him a beast. It
made him do this poor little girl to
death.
“Even with their own witnesses
there appears to have been a leak.
Little Miss Jackson failed them, not
Intentionally, but she failed them.^ It
dropped out just as easily. What
business did Frank have going into
that dressing room op the fourth
floor? What business did he have
going in there when he had foreladles
to see if there was any flirting going
on—the excuse that Arnold for the
defendant pushing open the doors.
“This man has been in there with
one of the women on the fourth floor.
Two witnesses have testified that
they saw him go in there on differ
ent occasions. It might have been
JuMt at the time he was looking in
there on these times of which Miss
Jackson told that he was looking to
see of the coast were clear for him
and this woman was on the fourth
floor.
“It may be that this negro Conley
isn’t so far wrong after all.
"Frank went into the dressing room
with Miss Carson. The Judge would
not allow me to ask how long they
stayed in there. I don’t know why

New York Man, Now in Atlanta
Threatens to Publish a Book
About Tour With Freak.
Police Arrange for
Elopers to Marry
With a six-legged, four-shouldered,
Holstein calf following him at the end
of a stout rope, E. J. Seymour, 57
years old, of New York, arrived in
Atlanta Friday morning, on a walk
ing tour across the' continent from
Florida to San FTancisco. He ex
pects to make the trip by easy stages,
arriving in the California metropolis
in time for the opening of the Pana
ma Exposition.
Seymour says he left Fernandina,
on the Florida coast, April 1. At
the outset of his trip he intended only
to walk to Atlanta, but having gotten
safely this far, and his calf having
developed pedestrian proclivities, he
has decided to take the freak animal
on to the exposition and exhibit him.
“I am not trying to make a record
for the trip across the continent." Sey
mour said to-day. "I stop at all the
small towns and villages and exhibit
the calf. I make expenses and some
times a little more. I ship my tent
and other baggage ahead of me by
rail, and the calf and I hike it to the
next stop. So far as I know' I am
the first man who has ever attempted
to lead an animal across the United
States.”
Seymour’s calf,is one of the strang
est freaks that ever got away from
old P T. Barnum. Besides its six
legs and four shoulders, it has two
backbones and is as strong and vig
orous as three ordinary yearling
calves. The animal w'eighs 425
pounds, and is getting heavier every
day.
Seymour expects to stay In At
lanta about a week, and will exhibit
his calf while here. He expects then
to go to Chattanooga, following the
line of a railroad. From there he will
go to Memphis, Kansas City and on
to the West.
Seymour says he is writing a book,
"Touring With a Six-Legged Calf."
which he wdll publish shortly aft£r he
reaches the Pacific Coast.
this ruling was made, but w’hat the
Judge says goes. But Frank was in
there with Miss Carson and he cam°
out w'lth her. Did the two of £hem
go in there to stop the girls flirting.
“Attorney Arnold, with that affi
davit face of his, said that you had
seen all of the girls on the fourth
floor and that they all had testified
to Frank’s good characte. But up
comes Miss Kitchen and testifies of
Frank entering the dressing room.
She told of at least one other w ho had
not been called as a witness who
w'orked on the fourth floor. You do
not know’ to this clay how many there
are up there that have not been call
ed. If Attorney Arnold is no more
accurate in this than he was in the
Durant case, he is pretty far off.”
Judge Roan Interrupted the solic
itor at this point and asked him how
much more time he would need.
“I have Just started, your honor,’’
Dorsey replied.
The Judge thereupon adjourned
court until Saturday morning at 9
o’clock.
MOBILE, Aug 22.—Through the
persistent efforts of Chief of Police
F. W. Crenshaw, Augustus F. Lee,
aged 34, an attorney, who practiced
at Gainesville, Ga., and who says he
is w'ell known in Atlanta, married
20-year-old Sadie Dove Smith, of

Thursday from Pensacola.
When the girl’s absence from hotne

to Mobile. Detectives met the couple
at the depot and took them to the
police station. Later the consent of
the girl's mother to the marriage was
obtained.
Lee said they would live In At

"Gentlemen: About September 10, 1908. my
| mother-in-law was taken sick with Catarrhal
Pneumonia, which developed Into Lung Trouble.
In January, when Rev. W’m. Berg, of Rt. Mi-
1 chael's Church, at Schererville, Ind., prepared
i for her death, he recommended that I get Eck-
man's Alterative, and see if It would not give
i her some relief. The attending physician de-
| dared she had Consumption and was beyond all
medical aid. So I immediately had Rev. Wm.
Berg to send for a bottle. Practically without
hope for recovery, I insisted that she try the
, Alterative, which she did. 1 am glad to say
that she soon began to improve. Now, she (
works as hard as ever, weighs twenty pounds i
heavier than she ever did before she took sick, l
and la In good health.”
