IS SLAIN
FATAL TO
Washington Wildly Excited by
Rumor of Assassination of U. S.
Envoy in Mexico.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23—A ru-
mor from Mexico City that United
States Envoy John Lind, sent by
President Wilson to Mexico with
peace proposals, had been assassi
nated in the streets of Mexico City
this morning: was emphatically brand
ed as false by the White House.
The report came on a broker’s pri
vate wire and for a time created wild
excitement in the Capital. The State
Department immediately got in com
munication with Mexico City and two
hours later announced that there was
no truth in the rumor.
That the United States has adopted
a policy allowing the Federal troops
in Mexico to receive practically un
limited supplies of arms and ammu
nition, was indicated by Secretary of
State Bryan to-day, when he con
firmed the report that 40,000 rounds
of ammunition had been allowed to
cross the border at El Paso, Texas.
Undisturbed by reports that Huerta
may change the present status In
Mexic<r-^y retutliag hia note of re
Jection of the Lind proposals. Presi
dent Wilson to-day is assembling
material for the message he will de
liver In Congress next Tuesday.
The President is not inclined to en
courage the typical Huerta policy of
changing front overnight, and will
not change the tencr of his message
unless General Huerta formally and
officially withdraws his objection and
accepts the proposals sent to him.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23.—"Bull”
Young, heavyweight pugilist, died at
9:30 o’clock this morning. He was
knocked out last night at the Ver
non Arena by Jess Willard, "white
hope" prize fighter, with an uppercut
on the point of the chin.
He was removed to a hospital un
conscious, and surgeons to-day per
formed a trepanning operation In the
hope of saving his life. He did not
regain consciousness after the blow
was struck.
Willard was arrested shortly be
fore Young died.
Young was still unconscious from
the effect of Willard’s right uppercut
to the chin when the doctors opened
his skull, and no anesthetic was used
for the operation.
Young’3 bout with Willard was his
first appearance as a principal in a
boxing card. He came here from
Wyoming as sparring partner of Lu
ther McCarty, who was killed by a
blow from Arthur Pelky at Calgary
He was greatly devoted to McCarty,
and it was he who Insisted, after Mc
Carty’s death, that the latter had
been poisoned, and asked for an ex
amination of McCarty’s stomach.
His theory, however, was scouted
by those who had handled McCarty
and were at the ringside when he
met death.
Willard Was arraigned late to-day
on a charge of manslaughter. His
ball was fixed at $5,000.
Thomas J. McCarey and A1 Green-
wald, promoters; Charles F. Riley,
referee; Albert Harder, time-keeper
of the Pacific Athletic Club; Harry
Monahan, second for Young, and Har
ry Gilmore, Jr., Young's manager,
wore arrested on manslaughter
charges and bail was fixed at $1,500
each. Bail was given in all the
cases.
The police also sought Eddie Web
ster, James Cameron and Charles
Ansllnger, seconds of the dead fight
er. They were not found.
Mrs. Hattie Wright, of Venice, a
T'Oung; widow whom it was said
Yawing was to have married, col

APPLAUD D
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’*
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, mpther 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 was 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 since 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 G-uilt.
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
tion.
The crowd in the courtroom was plainly with the Solicitor, al
though for the most part it preserved absolute decorum. Onoe &
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 pages 2 and 3. —
