Automobile Collides A white-hot phillippic, the masterpiece of his career and one of the greatest ever heard in a criminal court in the South, was hurled by Solicitor Hugh M. Dorsey di rectly at Leo M. Frank Saturday in the final plea of the State and held a packed courtroom tense and thrilled as the grim tragedy of Memorial Day was unfolded. The Solicitor was at the height of his eloquence at 1:30 o’clock when court adjourned until Monday. He had been speaking over six hours. The case will proba bly go to the jury before Monday noon. The Solicitor was cheered again as he left the courthouse. The Solicitor had been talking about six hours, including the time on Friday, when he turned to the Judge and asked for a re cess, saying he was exhausted. Arnold conferred with Judge Roan and it was finally decided that the trial should be adjourned until Monday. Mr. Dorsey analytically dissected the alibi the defense had put forward for Frank and cited from the prisoner’s own statements to upset it. He pointed to similarities of expression in Conley 'i and Frank's assertions in upholding the truth of the negro’s state ments. In an impassioned reference to the slain girl the Solicitor had many in the courtroom in tears. Mrs. Coleman, mother of Mary Phagan broke down completely, and Frank’s wife wept silently. Says Frank Breaks Own Alibi. Mr. Dorsey declared Frank’s alibi was shattered at once by the fact that Frank told the police on April 28 he wqf at the fac tory at 1:10, while Helen Curran said she saw him at 1:10 at White hall and Alabama streets, and that Frank later changed his story to bolster up an alibi. The Solicitor denounced Frank in the most violent terms as a “red-handed murderer” and a pervert who had plotted to lay the crime upon Conley. He charged that Frank planned to have Conley return to the factory and burn the body and would have had the detectives arrest Conley in the act. He asserted, further more: That the expression ‘ ‘ nothing startling has happened, it is too short sinoe you left for anything startling to have happened” in Frank's letter to his uncle tended to show Frank's guilt; That the prisoner had been trying for weeks to get Mary Phagan’s favorable attention and the tragedy was the result of her refusal; That the reference to the toilet in the death notes proved Frank dictated them because Conley always used the word “done;” the State says the crime was committed; Charges Notes Prove Frank’s Guilt. That the use of the word “did” in the death notes proved Frank dictated them because Conley always used the word “done.” That wholesale perjury had been used by the defense in the effort to build a protecting wall around the prisoner. Frank never flinched under the Solicitor’s fiery attack. He seemed to be following his words closely but gave no sign of emo- NEW YORK, Auk. 23.—An auto- mobile collided with a steamboat here last night.* The auto wag wrecked Its several occupants were slightly injured. The accident, it may be explained, did not occur at sea. The boat was in dry dock, the driver of the auto lost control of his machine, and it plunged down a hill and crashed into the moored boat. With a Steamboat tlon _. .. .. . $ , The crowd in the courtroom was plainly with the Solicitor, al though for the most part it preserved absolute decorum. Once a titter ran around when Dorsey made a sally in a tilt with Arnold and Judge Roan threatened to have the courtroom cleared. The greatest crowd of the trial was attracted for the final affray and a thousand men and women begged in vain for ad mittance to the courtroom. Occasionally Dorsey’s voice could be heard in the street and there would be a murmur of applause. Dorsey’s speech appears on page 2 and 3.
