i r 7 THE ATLANTA OEOHhIAN AND NEWS. rift f n A * l F * V % 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 Weak, Nervous and Diseased Men Permanently Cured DR.

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 Milton, Fla., w'lth whom he eloped on Thursday from Pensacola. When the girl’s absence from hotne was discovered, it was learned she met Lee at Pensacola and was coming 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 lanta. Killed as He Kisses His Baby Good-bye CHATTANOOGA. Aug. 22.—A. W.
