HIE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SOLICITOR MAKES STRONG SUMMING UP AGAINST ACCUSED We Want Frank Convicted According to Law Only, Declares Hugh Dorsey I i BY DEFENSE ONLY, SMS FINAL SPEECH Continued from Page 1. importarft 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 such 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 be a trivial doubt; a bare possibility. It must riot 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 is 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 impfoved 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 jury 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 f That Is Circumstantial. "In the Ninety-second Georgia they speak ot it thus: reasonable doubt does 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 would 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 evidence. 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 where Weak, Nervous and Diseased Men Permanently Cured DR. HUGHES is an experienced specialist.

Consul tation and advice Free. Call er writ*, DR. HUGHES, Opposite Third National Bank; 191/2 N. Broad SL, Atlanta, Ga. Hours: 9 a. m. to 7 p. m.; Sunday*, 9 to 1. 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 want to read; it is a telegram I re ceived yesterday. ‘1 telegraphed to San Francisco yesterday,” said Dorsey; *T ask your honor if I can not quote that in my addres* 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 what I know about the case,” demanded Dorsey. “I an ticipated that some such claim as this would be made, and that is why I made thei nvestigatlon.” Judge Roan allowed Dorsey to tell what he knew about the case, but would not permit him to read the let ter or the telegram. Dorsey don- tinued: Mr. Arnold, in discussing the un certainties of circumstantial evidence said that Theodore Durant had been hanged for the murder of Blanche Lamont 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 srtudent as well as a minis ter, had a character far better than this man Frank. It shows 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.” Letter Dated Before The Phagan Slaying. Attorney Arnold called attention to thefact that the letter from this man C. M. Pickett was dated April 15, nearly two weeks b»fore the murder J 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 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 I ,a - mont 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 interior. Likens Durant Case to Frank’s. "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 yvas 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 engagemenL 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 tex 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, music 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 wks 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 fieen 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. DIE TO CITY TO T P Actor, Arrested for Staring at Women, Says He Was Looking for His Sweetheart. A wonderful tale of having come to Atlanta to get married and for getting the address of his bride was told at police headquarters Friday by Edward Hogan, an actor from New Orleans, who was arrested at Five Points by Detective Harper late Thursday. Harper arrested Hogan because, he says, the actor was staring rudely and offensively at women. Hogan in sists he was looking for his sweet heart, hoping to see her in the pass ing throng. “I came to Atlanta to marry MisS Marie Byrd,” Hogan declared, "and when I got here I could not remem ber her address. I haven’t seen her in some time, but I’d know her in a minute. I was standing there wait ing to see if she wouldn’t pass.” Hogan insists also that he was lock ed up five days ago instead of yes terday. The actor’s arrest was the climax of a number of sensational incidents. After he had stared at women passing Five Points for more thin an hour, citizens* who noticed him told Detec tive Harper, and the officer watched him. Hogan went into a soda foun tain and asked the soda clerk for the loan of a nickel. The clerk said he didn’t have a nickel. Hogan gazed at him sadly. “Poor fellow,” he said. “If you haven’t any money, I’ll give you some! ” He took 90 cents from his pocket and threw it on the counter. Then he began pulling greenbacks from his pockets. He had placed several dol lars on the counter when he was arrested. The police hs^e wired to Hogan’s relatives and th* police in New Or leans, and are awaiting an answer.

LEADS HEDGED CAEFACDOSS New York Man, Now in Atlanta, Threatens to Publish a Book About Tour With Freak. 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 Francisco. 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 weighs 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 th6 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 will publish shortly after he reaches the Pacific Coast. Trophy Rifle Match At Savannah Off SAVANNAH.
