CHARGING J
Here is Judge Roan's complete charge to the jury verbatim:
“Gentlemen of the Jury—This bill of indictment charges Leo
M. Frank with the offense of murder. The charge is that Leo M. |
Frank, in this county, on the 26th day of April of this year, with
force and arms, did unlawfully and with malice aforethought kill
and murder one Mery Phagan
by then and there chokin'* her,
the said Mary Pliagan, with a
cord placed around her neck.
“To this charge made by the
bill of indictment found by the
Grand Jury of this county re
cently impaneled Leo M. Frank,
the defendant, files a plea of not
guilty. The charge as made by
the bill of indictment on the on 1
hand and his plea of not guilty filed
thereto form the issue, and you. gen
tlemen of the Jury, have been selected,
chosen and sworn to try the truth of
this ! ssue
"Leo M. Frank, the defendant, com
mences the trial rtf this issue with
th° presumption of innocence in his
favor, and this presumption of inno
cence remains with him. to shield him
and protect him. until the State shall
ovorcorm it and remove it by evidence

pr sence. sufficient in its strength and
character to satisfy your mind* be
yond a reasonable doubt of his guilt
of each and every material allegation

the allegations of this indictment are
material, and It 1. neresaary for the Qf Importance

this testimony as you* have heard it.
in connection with the defendant’s
statement, and arrive at what you
believe to be the truth,
"Gentlemen, the object of all legal
Investigation Is the discovery of truth.
That is the reason of you being se
lected, impanneled and sworn in this
case—to discover what is the truth o r
this Issue formed on this bill of In
dictment. Is Leo M. Frank guilty?
Are you satisfied of that beyond a
reasonable doubt from the evidence
In this case? Or Is his plea or not
guilty the truth? The rules of evi
dence are framed with a view to this
prominent end seeking always for
pure sources and the highest evidence.
"Direct evidence is that which im
mediately points to the question at
Issue. Indirect or circumstantial evi
dence Is that which only tends to es
tablish th** Issue hy proof of various
facts sustaining, by their consistency,
the hypothesis claimed. To warrant a
conviction on circumstantial evidence
th* proven facts must not only be
consistent with the hypothesis of
guilt, hut must exclude every other
reasonable doubt hypothesis save that
of the guilt of the accused.
Character Issue
State to satisfy you of their truth hj
evidence that convinces your minds
beyond a reasonable doubt of his guilt
before you would be authorized toflni
a verdict of guilty.
Must Be More Than
Beyond Mere Doubt.
"You are not compelled to tin I,
from the evidence, his guilt beyon 1
any doubt, hut beyond a reasonable
doubt, such a doubt as grows out of
the evidence in the case, or for the
want of evidence, such a doubt as a
reasonable and^ impartial man would
entertain about matters of the high
est importance to himself after FI
reasonable efforts to ascertain th?
truth This does not mean a fanciful
doubt, one conjured up by the Jurv.
but a reasonable doubt.
"Gentlemen. this defendant is
charged with murder. Murder is de
fined to be the unlawful killing of a
human being. In the peace of the
State, by a person of sound memory
and discretion, with malice afore
thought. either express or implied.
"Express malice is that deliberate
Intention unlawfully to take away
the life of a fellow-creature which Is
manifested by external circumstances
capable of proof.
"Malice shall be implied where no
considerable provocation appears, and
where all of the circumstances of the
killing show an abandoned and ma
lignant heart
"There is no difference between ex
press and implied malice except in
the mode of arriving at the fact of
it« existence. The legal sense of the
term ‘malice’ is not confined to par
ticular animosity to the deceased, hut
extends to an evil design in general
The popular idea of malice in its
sense of revenge, hatred, ill will, has
nothing to do with the subject It
is an Intent to kill a human being in
a case where the law would neither
Justify nor in any degree excuse the
intention if the killing should take
pla'-e intended. It is a deliberate
in»**nt unlawfully to take human life.
\yheth** it springs from hatred, ill
will or revenge, ambition, avarice or
other like passion. A man may form
le intent to kill, do the killing In
stantly and regret the deed as soon
as uom Malice must exist at the
time of the killing. It need not have
existed any length of time previously.
Law Presumes Malice
If Homicide si Proven.
"When a homicide is proven, if if
is proven to be the act of the de
fendant, the law presumes malice,
nd unless the evidence should relieve
e slayer he. may be found guilty
murder. The presumption of in-
•»nce is removed by proof of the
t r by the defendant. When the
h\ is shown to be the act of the
CO i nt. it is then on the defendant

oof to do that may come from
^side, either from the evidence

"The defendant has Introduced tes
timony as to his good character. On
this subject I charge you that evi
dence of good character when offered
by th** defendant in a criminal case
Is always relevant and material, and
should be considered by the jury,
along with all the other evidence in
troduced, as one of the facts of the
case. It should be* considered by the
Jury, not merely where the balance of
tlie testimony in the case makes it
doubtful whether the defendant is
guilty or not, but also where such evi
dence of good character may of itself
generate a doubt as to the defend
ant’s guilt Good character is a sub
stantial fact, like any other fact tend
ing to establish the defendant's inno
cence, and ought to be so regarded by j
the Jury.
"Like all other facts proved In the
rase, it should be weighed and esti
mated by the Jury, for it may render
that doubtful which otherwise would
he clear. However, If the guilt of the
accused is plainly proved to t»hc sat
isfaction of the Jury beyond a reason
able doubt, notwithstanding the proof
of good character. It is their duty to
convict. But the Jury may consider
the good character of the defendant,
whether the rest of the testimony
leaves the question of his guilt doubt
ful or not, and If a consideration of
the proof of his good character, con
sidered along with the evidence, cre
ates a reasonable doubt in the minds
of the Jury as to the defendant's guilt,
then it would be the duty of the Jury
to give the defendant the benefit if
the doubt thus raised by his good
character, and to acquit him.
"The word ‘character’ as used In
this connection means that general
reputation which he bore among the
people who knew him prior to the
time of the death of Mary Phagan.
Therefore, when the witnesses by
which a defendant seeks to prove his
good character are put upon ' the
stand, and testify that his character
is good, the effect of tlu testimony is
to say that the people who knew
him spoke well of him, and that his
general reputation was otherwise
good.
State Allowed to
Attack Character.
"When a defendant has put his
character in Issue, the State is al
lowed to attack it bv proving that his
general reputation Is not good, or oy
showing that the witnesses wno have
stated that his character Is good have
untruly reported it. Hence me so
licitor General has been allowed to
cross-examine the witnesses for the
defense who were introduced to tes
tify to his good character. In the
cross-examination of these witnesses
he was allowed to ask them if they
had not heard of various acts of mis
conduct on the defendant’s part.
"The Solicitor General had the
right to ask any questions along this
line he pleased, in order thoroughly to
sift the witnesses, and to see if any
thing derogatory to the defendant's
reputation could be proved bv them.
"The court now wishes to say :o
you that, although the Solicitor Gen

purpose of showing affirmatively that

guilty of the offense with which h<
stands charged, but is to be consider
ed by the Jury only In determining
the credibility and the degree of in
formation possessed by those wit

character.
“When the defendant has put his
character in issue, the State is allow
ed to bring witnesses to prove that
his general character is bad, and
thereby to disprove the testimony of
those who have stated that it is good.
The jury is allowed to take this tes

Good Character May
Create Reasonable Doubt.
"You will, therefore, observe that
this Is the rule you will be guided by
in determining the etYect to be given
to the evidence on the subject of the
defendant's character: If, after con

SENT TO GALLQll
MARY PHIS SLA
Refreshed by the week-end recess, Solicitor General Dorsey
returned Monday to the State’s closing argument. By the force of
logic and denunciation of his final words to the jury the Solicitor
hopes to obtain a verdict of guilty against Leo M. Frank, charged
with the murder of Mary Phagan.
The day and a half intermis-
son furnished a breathing spell
for the State’s prosecutor. He
came bac kto the battle with new
spirit and with an absence of the
fatigue that compelled him to
stop his stirring argument Sat
urday and ask Judge Roan for
a recess.
Solicitor Dorsey was vociferously
cheered as he entered the courthouse
by a crowd waiting for the trial to
open, and in the courtroom there was
applause he went- to the State’s
table within the railing.
Judge Roan entered the room as
the applause died down while the
deputies were rapping for order. He
announced that if there was any sem
blance of a repetition he would clear
the courtroom. The judge declared
that a similar occurrence might de
stroy the work of four long weeks
and warped the audience to keep
strict order.
Mr. Dorsey began his speech in a
low, hoarse voice.
"Your honor and gentlemen of the
Jury," he said, "I regret the necessity
for having to carry this case over into
another week and through another
Sunday. If a recess had been de
clared Saturday, 1 might have been
was discovered that Conley could
write Frank had said nothing. It was
only through the W’ork done by th?
detectives and the fact tha + Conley
knew they had learned he could
write that the negro finally was made
to submit specimens of his handwrit
ing.
"Why did Frank keep silent when
he knew' those notes were the key
which would unlock the mystery?”
Dorsey turned to Fra.*k at this
point and said:
"You did know that he could writ* 1 .
You knew' that if it was fopnd out
that the whole mystery would jo
solved. You had notes asking for
loans. You had seen his writing by
which he checked up th<» boxes of
pencils. W.hy did - ou keen silent?
"You saw him at the police station
and even then never mentioned that
he could write.”
"Frank says that after this visit * f

gone to the factory and gone through
his pantomime at the time almost ex
actly to the minute that he said it

said, ‘1 told them if they would get
the permission of Rosser that I would

jury, Mr. Rosser was at Tallulah

no chance to get his permission that
day. But Mr. Rosser was . t Tallulah

convict him.
"If you believe beyond a reason-
aide doubt from the evidence in this
ease that this defendant is guilty of
murder, then you would be authorized
in that event to say We. the Jury,
find the defendant guilty.’
"Should you g>» no further, gentle
men, and, say nothing else in your
verdict, the court would have to sen
tence the defendant to the extreme
penalty for murder, to wit: to be
banged by the neek until he is dead.
But should you see fit to do so. in
the event you arrive at the conclusion
and belief beyond a reasonable doubt
from the evidence that this defendant
is guilty, then, gentlemen, you would
be authorized in that event, if you
saw fit to do so, to say: ‘We, the
Jury, find the defendant guilty, and
we recommend that he be imprisoned
in the penitentiary for life.’
"In the eVcnt you should make such
a verdict as that, then the Court,
under the law. would have to sen
tence the defendant to the peniten
tiary for life.
"You have heard the defendant
make his statement. He had the
right to make it under the law. It
is not made under oath and he is not
subject to examination or cross-ex
amination. It is with you as to how
much of it you will believe, or how
little of it. You may go to the ex
tent. if you see fit. of believing it in
preference to the sworn testimony in
the ea>c.
"In the event, gentlemen, you have
a reasonable doubt from the evidence,
or the evidence and the statement
together, or either, as to the de
fendant's guilt as charged, then give
the prisoner the benefit of that doubt
and acquit him; and in the event you
do acquit him the form of vour ver
dict would be; ‘We. the Jury, find
♦ defendant not guilty.’ As honest
rs do yoflr utmost to reach the
tr. n from the evidence and state
ment as you have heard it here, then
let your verdict speak it.”
urday, I was giving you a brief analy
sis of the statement of the defendant,
i am not going into an exhaustive
study of that statement. It is un-
necssary to further burden you with
it. But there are certain language
and statements w'hich merit some
consideration.
"The defendant stated, after his
honor had excluded our evidence, an*i
excluded It properly, that his wife
visited him at the police station. H* 1 0
stated that she was there with his fvOSSer UujectS
father-in-law and his two brothers-
in-law. He said Rabbi David Marx
was with him and that he consulted
Dr. Marx on the advisability of hav
ing her to come up to the top flooi
and see him surrounded by policerqen,
reporters and sflapshotters. He
doesn't prove by a living soul that
this statement is true. You mu3t
rely on his own lips for its value,.
"If they cou 1 ^ have proved it by Dr.
Marx, why didn’t they do it? You
tell me a loving wife lives who, con
scious of a husband's innocence amid
such circumstances, wouldn’t have
braved policemen, snapshotters o
have seen him?
Arnold jumped up.
'I object,” he said, “to those out
rageous references to his wife. I
have sat here in silence during many
of his unfair remarks, but to bring
in the wife of this man who is on trial
for his life is an outrage on law and
decency and fairness."
"Let mo see," said Judge Roan,
"the evidence on which you are
speaking, Mr. Dorsey.”

face the negro. There never 'ived in
Georgia a lawyer who possessed half
the ability of Rosser who sincerely
believed in the innocence of his cl -
ent who would not have said to this
negro, ‘Face my client.’ You may say
here that you did not know what Con
ley’s statement was going to be. but
you could have found out. You could
have known."
‘‘Let the galled jade wince,” said
Dorsey, sarcastically.
"He has no right to make any such
statement," said Arnold. “It is whol
ly uncalled for.”
"I submit the remark,” retorted
Dorsey, “of Mr. Rosser that this is an
unfair speech (referring to an aside)
is uncalled for. Frank said that his
wife would not come to see him be

shotters and the reporters and that
she did not want to go through this
line of newspaper men every time she

men, there never lived a true wife
who would not have gone through a
line of snapshotters and reporters in

To Being Criticised. -
Mr. Rosser was on his feet with an
objection to commenting on counsel.'
After a moment's wrangling, Mr. Dor
sey insisting that he had a right tc
comment on the action of the de
fendant’s counsel charging the facts
in the record justified him, Judga
Roan sustained the objection.
"But they see the force of it,” con
tinued Dorsey.
“Now, I don’t think that's fair, your
honor,” said Rosser, Interrupting
again. There was another minute * t
wrangling, both Dorsey and Rosser
speaking at the same time. Judge
Roan again sustained 'Rosser.
Dorsey turned to the jury, and
slapping his hand viciously on ‘he
railing, shouted:
"If they don’t see the force of it
you do.”
Rosser objected again.
"I insist, your honor that that \a
entirely proper comment. 1 ask you,
am I outside the record? I have i
right to comment upon their conduct
in declining to cross-examine wit
nesses.’
“You may comment upon the a t
of Frank,” interrupted Judge Roan,
"in not facing Conley and upon his
counsel not having given the permis
sion, but it is not proper for you t<5
comment upon why counsel for the
defense did not do certain things.
Dorsey turned to the jury:
"This man Frank, with Anglo-
Saxon blood in his veins, a graduate
of Cornell, a man of sense and intelli
gence and spirit, refused to see
Conley because his counsel was not
in town. But when his counsel re
turned and he still had .the oppor
tunity he dared not let Conley meet
him. It is not necessary to take up
this discussion. Would the weakest
of you when innocent and wrongfully
accused by a man with a black skin
on the charge of murder let Rosser
or any lawyer in the world keep you
from confronting him and nailing th -
lie. No lawyer of any age or clime
could prevent me from inerting a
man. be he white or black, who had
wrongfully accused me."
“ Pointing his finger at Frank he con
tinued:
"You went in a room and inter
viewed old Newt Lee down at the po
lice station pt 12 o’clock at night.
What did you do? Did you act like
an innocent man who was trying to
get at the truth? Oh, no!
Instead of going after him and tr;
the 13’Nai Brith—according to Lee,
you hung your head and quizzed him
not, but said: ’If you don’t tell more
about this we’ll both go to hell.’ Then
In your statement to the jury you
tried to make it appear that your own
detective, Scott, had concocted a
scheme against you and lied about
what happened.
"The reason Frank didn’t put it up
to Newt Lee was because he knew
Newt Lee was innocent. He knew
he was guilty and he was only adding
to the dastardly crime of assault on
the virtue of this little girl by trying
to break the neck of this old negro
to save his,own reputation and neck.
"Listen to his statement. He is
Smart. Listen how he qualifies and
fixes so that when we come back with
rebuttal the technical law will pro
tect him. Old Newt Lee had been
night watchman at that factory only
a few weeks. There had been other
night watchmen before, and the
charges of going into the place for
immoral purposes were during the
time before Newt Lee came. Ho knew*
the detectives had charged that peo
ple had gone In there for immoral pur
poses but in his statement on the
stand he confined his denial to the
time Newt Lee was there as nigh’
watchman.
"No, during the time old Newt Lee
was there thqge was but one person
for whom your passion burned.” the
Solicitor continued, turning to Frank,
"little Mary Phagan. She never would
go there with you. But if you were
telling the truth, why didn't you make
a bold and emphatic statement that
none had ever been there. It was
during the summer previous that
Dalton and the others testified of the
immorality there. There was the
chance for impeachment of his state
ment. and yet you tell me that that's
a good, fair, frank statement.
“Now, another thing, listen to this.
I read from the defendant’s state
ment, ‘Now, in reference to those
spot* claimed to b e blood spots found
by Barrett, I don't say they are not
I blood. They are near the ladies’
dressing room, and we also have
many accidents near there. Let me
say in connection with those accfi-
dents that not all accidents are re
ported. Only those which incapaci
tate an employee are reported. But
1 say it might have been blood. It
also might have been aniline dye\or
paint. I have seen girls drop bottles
of this colored matter, but if it had
been fresh blood or fresh paint the
haskoline which was spread ov.er It
would have become pink or red in
stead of remaining white.’
“Why Didn’t They
Bring in a Chemist?”
"But I ask you if the haskoline
would not have produced the identi
cal result which the witnesses say
was produced? Why didn’t yru bring
before the jury a reputa' ’« chemist
and a man who would haw sustained
you in this contention. If you had
time to bring in experts to attack the
overwhelming evidence of Dr. Roy
Harris, why, in the name of truth and
justice, didn’t you bring in just one
chemist to support your theory of
the blood spots?
"You know the reason. You know
they were blood spots. You know'
that you didn’t bring in a chemist be
cause the result of spreading the has
koline over blood would have been
exactly the result that was produced
in the dressing room on the second
floor.”
Dorsey turned toward the jury at
this point and asked:
"Are you going to take this man’s
unsupported word w'hen his lawyers
are unable to get any reputable chem
ist to come in and stultify himself
by declaring that those spots were
not blood or that the result produced
Was not that of spreading haskoline
over fresh blood?
"This defense can not—they haven’t
got any defense. They circle and flut
ter., but never light. They grab at
varnish, rat blood and Duffy’s blood,
but they never knuckle down to show
that it was not blood. In view of the
statement of Mell Stanford, who
swept that floor and w'ho says it was
not there Friday: In view of the
statements of Christopher Columbus
Barrett, who, despite what they say,
continues to draw his livelihood from
the coffers of the National Pencil
Company; in view of the statements
of a great many others who went
there to see the blood spots, can we
get but one solution of the matter? I
say you can not.
Contends Fallacy in
Defense’s Theory.
"Then they fly onto another sub
ject? It is the way they claim Jim
Conley took that body into the base
ment. But, gentlemen of the Jury,
you know', and they know', that th’a
body wasn’t taken down that scuttle-
hole. It did not show there where
the dust was thick. And then did he
shoot her down the chute of the
(’lark Woodenware’s p>lace, w'here th**
body would have been concealed bet
ter and longer than where the bodv
was found? Did this negho, who,
they say, robbed this girl—even if he
had taken time to w'rite the notes,
even if he had hit her with a bludgeon
—do you think, gentlemen of the jury,
that he would have taken the time
to tie a cord around her neck—a cord
seldom found in the basement except
when it was swept there with the .
trash, hut the nroper place for which
w r as in that metal room on the second
floor, where little Mary Phagan met
her death? If he had done all that—
after he had sent her body down the
chute—why w r ould he have gone down
into the basement and have removed
the body from its safest hiding place
down there at the bottom of the
chute, where the dust, trash and boxes
would have kept it concealed for i
weeks at least? Why would he have
removed it out there near the boiler,
where the firemen and everyone else
would have been sure to find it?
"I tell you, gentlemen of the jury,
that body was never sent down that
chute; that body was never sent down
that scuttlehole. It was taken down
into the basement just as Jim Con
ley says It was.
"They fiv off onto other things.
Why, on May 1, when Holloway
caught Jim Conley washing his shirt,
he said, ‘This is my negro.’ Fifteen
days later, when the second squad
of Pinkertons came in, can you te’l
me. will you £ell me. why, if he
shoved her down that hole, that not
until the 15th of May was this bloody
bludgeon found, and more blood than
this girl has ever been shown to
have lost was there?
"Another thine. Frank said in his
statement that this man Quinn came
to him and told him he would like tr-
take him back to the metal room,
where, the newspapers said, and where
everybody else said, and knew that
morning, that some blood and somJ
hair had been found.
Stresses Fact Frank
Hadn’t Examined Spots.
"Although he had seen this in tho
papers, although he had heard from
others in the factory that the spots
and hair had been found, although he
had been all around there, although
the knowledge of the finding of these
spots and hair had torn him to pieces,
although he was so anxious to get
detectives to work on the case that
he had phoned Schiff three times, ye* (
Quinn had to come and ask him 'o
come back there to see the spots
"Tell me, was that the conduct of
an innocent man anxious to help the
police? But, strange to say, not even
Lemmie Quinn comes to support you
in this statement. No one ever saw
Leo M. Frank go back there to exam-
ine those spots.
•*lf there was ever a spot on this
earth that Farnk did not want to
see it was the blood spot back there
in the metal room, the spot whore
this little girl met her death. If
Frank went down there to the morgue
and the sight of that little girl tore
