EXTRA 1 The Atlanta Georgian Read for Profit---GEORGIAN WANT ADS---Use for Results VOL. XH. NO. 19. ATLANTA, GA., MONDAY, AUGUST 25, 1913. Copyright 1906, By The Georgian Co. 2 CENTS. EXTRA AS INNOCENT A YEAR AGO, Atlanta Gets $800,000 of United States Deposits—Asked for Larger Amount. WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—Georgia has been allotted $1,700,000 of the $50,000,000 which Secretary McAdoe will deposit in the banks of the South and West to assist in moving the crops. Atlanta national banks will receive $800,000 deposits. The remaining $900,000 will be divided among Savan nah banks and those of other cities, probably including Macon. Six Atlanta banks are eligible to receive these deposits under the rule laid down by the Secretary that any bank so favored must have a circula tion equal to 40 per bent of its capital stock. It is expected that the money will be deposited within the next few days. It will be withdrawn gradually, one- quarter at a time, over a period ex tending through February, 1914, so as not to create any disturbance of credits. These funds are not loans in any sense of the word. They are depos its. The only difference between them and tfie deposits of any pri vate concern is that the banks are required to give collateral of 10 per cent in Government bonds and 90 per cent in commercial paper at 65 per cent valuation, or municipal or State bonds at 75 per cent valuation. The banks must pay 2 per cent interest. Eanks Here Regret Amount Is Pared. Disappointment is expressed by At lanta bankers that Secretary Mc- Adoo has seen fit to reduce the Atlan ta appropriation from $1,000,000 to $800,000. The Clearing House Asso ciation had been advised of that fact, however, on Friday, three days before Monday's public announcement. The committee necessary to pass on the local commercial paper offered as collateral for the deposits has been appointed and consists of C. E. Currier, president of the Atlanta Na tional Bank, chairman; T.: D. Mead or, vice president of the Lowry Na tional Bank; W. L. Peel, president of the American National Bank; Frank Hawkins, president of the Third National Bank, and Charles I. Ryan, cashier of the Fourth National Bank. All six of the Atlanta national banks now are eligible to receive an allottment of this $800,000, the one large bank which had a circulation of less than 40 per cent of Its capital stock having recently increased Its outstanding hank notes to the re quired amount. B. H. Jones Is Named Atlanta Postmaster Bolling H. Jones was appointed Monday to the Atlanta Postmaster ship, succeeding Hugh McKee. Pres ident Wilson sent the nomination to the Senate. It probably will be con firmed immediately. The appointment of Mr. Jones caused no surprise in Atlanta, where rumors that he would be named have been going the rounds several weeks. The many friends and admirers of Mr Jones have predicted all along that he would be the appointee of the President. . , Mr. Jones is one of Atlanta 9 en thusiastic boosters and has taken an active part in civic a “fairs for many years. He is a joint owner of the Atlanta Stove Works. Conzleman and Leibhardt Hurl First Game of Series at Poncy. No Scoring at Start. Score by Innings: R. H. E.

He would not see newspapermen and his friends would tell little of what he said except that one of them vouched the information that he had asserted: “I am just as innocent now as I was a year ago.” AT NEW YORK— CINCINNATI 001 000 000 - 1 6 0 NEW YORK 000 000 002 - 2 8 2 Ames and Kllng; Demaree and McLean.

She was attended to by her fam ily physician. Frank said he would issue a written statement later, but only with the permission of his attorneys. Leo M. Frank was found guilty of the murder of Mary Phagan by a jury in Judge Roan’s court at 4:56 Monday afternoon and a minute later a howling crowd was cheering its approval. According to what appears to be reliable authority, the jury was unanimous in its verdict on the first ballot formally taken one hour and a half after the jury re turned from its dinner. All doors to the courtroom were locked as the ver dict came in. No recommendation for mercy was made by the twelve men who listened to four long weeks of exhaustive evidence. Thirty-five hundred people outside the courthouse yelled themselves hoarse as the verdict was announced. Juror Winburn, the foreman, escorted by a deputy, led the jury into the room. All twelve men seemed pale and nervous, oppressed by weight of their momentous task. Frank’s presence in the courtroom has been waived, according to an announcement made at 4:15, when it was reported that the jury had reached a verdict. The courtroom was to be cleared for the jury to make itj SOUTH ATLANTIC LEAGUE. EMPIRE LEAGUE.

For a time it hesitated before the twelve men entered the jury box. Only the order of Judge Roan of: “Gentlemen, take your accustomed seats,’’ caused the mto file in. “Gentlemen, have you reached a verdict?” said Judge Roan, when the jury had become seated. Foreman Winburne arose and said: “We have, your honor.” The foreman then opened the piece of paper upon which the verdict was written and read: “We have found the defendant guilty,” the verdict read. As the verdict was read the silence within the courtroom was broken only by the loud cheering outside. When the foreman had resumed his seat, Solicitor Dorsey arose and asked each juror: Each Man Answers “Yes.” “Is that your verdict?” and in each case the response was “Yes.” Judge Roan then announced to the Sheriff that he would pass sentence upon Frank to-morrow. Judge Roan then thanked the jury, saying: “Gentlemen, I want to thank you for your services. This is the longest criminal case I have ever known of in my life.” The jury arose as if to leave the courtroom then, but resumed their seats.. Dorsey was the first to leave the courtroom. He received an ovation from the throngs which packed the streets. He was lifted fro mhis feet upon the shoulders of the enthusiasts and carried sev eral hundred feet. Dorsey took his hat from his head and bowed to the acclamations of the crowd. Cheers for Hooper, Too. Hunter street was blocked clear to Whitehall street, and Pryor was blocked for two blocks on either side. As Frank G. Hooper left the courtroom at 5 o’clock, a lan a was made for him across to the Kiser building, directly opposite the courtroom and the cheers which went up rent the air. J. W. Coleman, stepfather of Mayr Phagan, rushed up to the jury and shook hands with each member, tears standing in his eyes. Rosser Suffers Physical Collapse. Neither Luther Rosser nor Reuben Arnold were present in the courtroom. They were represented by Stiles Hopkins, a member I of Mr. Rosser 's law firm. Mr. Rossed had collapsed, it was an- “Mr. Dorsey, I understand that you have waived the pres ence of the accused.” The Solicitor General nodded his head. “I do,” he answered. The the verdict was read. The jury had deliberated for four hours and seven minutes. After posing for several flashlight photographs, the jury left the box and was swarmed by newspaper men. Questions as to how the verdict was reached remained unanswered. To each inquiry, the jurymen stated that they had taken an oath not to reveal the details under which the decision was arrived at. Cheers for the Jury. The grim-visage of each man, however, told of the hard battle through which they had gone. After a short time the jurymen left the courtroom. As they were recognised by the crowds out side, the courthouse, they were wildly cheered. Probably no de monstration of this magnitude has ever been seen before in Geor gia at a criminal trial. Judge Roan left the courtroom at 6:15. He also was applaud ed. The jurist made no response, but slipped quietly into an au tomobile and was whisked away. The jury proceeded to the Thrower building to draw its pay, each man receiving $58.00. Friend Tells Frank News. First reports that Frank had been told of the verdict imme diately after its receipt at the jail proved false. It was nearly 6 o’clock when his family physician, Dr. Rosenberg, and Dr. David Marx went up to the prisoner’s cell to convey the tragic news. Frank’s wife was with him at the time and the physician was called in case she collapsed. Attendants at the jail said Frank received the news of the verdict wihtout a tremor. His wife fainted away, but was soon brought to by her physician and left the jail for the Selig home about 6 o’clock. Frank’s mother at the Selig home on Georgia avenue showed the most remarkable fortitude when the news was given to her. She wept bitterly for a few moments, then dried her eyes and an nounced that she would fight her boy’s cause to the highest court. Outburst of Applause for Dorsey. After leaving the courthouse, Attorney Dorsey retired to the Kiser Building, where he remained in conference for 20 minutes. He left the building in company with Attorney Stephens and was again greeted with a tremendous outburst of applause. A double row of policemen forced a passageway t othe Solicitor’s auto mobile. As Dorsey took his seat the crowd gathered around the ma chine and hundreds of congratulatory hands were thrust toward him. Mounted policemen had to go in front of the car to open up the streets. From buildings on either side of the streets hand kerchiefs waved, and veen women in the windows cheered. The cheering continued until the automobile was out of sight. At the Kimball House, to which the jurymen went to gather up the clothing and personal effects which they had used during their long stay, another large crowd had gathered and greeted the men with another ovation until the corridors resounded. Each man was swamped with persons, known and unknown to him, who wrung his hand vigorously. Solicitor Dorsey finished his speech at twelve o’clock and Judge Roan prepared to charge the jury. A brief recess was taken. Courthouse officials, the attorneys in the case and newspaper men were the only one3 present when the jury brought in its ver dict. The dramatic scene that had been expected when the factory superintendent faced the men who^held his life in their hands was, of course, averted by the waiving of the prisoner’s presence. There was a thrill of tense anticipation when word came from the fourth floor that the jury was ready to report. The rumor had been gaining ground that the jury had arrived at a decision about 3:20 and had been merely holding off for the arrival of the attor neys. Rosser and Arnold and Dorsey, all of whom had gone home for a brief nap, were summoned. Attorney Hooper was at the courthouse before the clearing of the scene of the great trial be gan and said he had no doubt of the jury's decision. When the jury sent down word that it had arrived a ta ver dict, Sheriff Mangum mounted the Judge’s bench and rapped for order in the crowded courtroom. “Gentlemen, I will have to clear this room of all but those directly interested in the case,” hte Sheriff said. “My orders are that ail spectators must clear out.” A murmur o fprotest greeted the Sheriff’s orders, but bailiffs going down the aisles directed the crowds to the door and they filed slowly out. When the last spectator had left the room there remained about 50 persons in all. These consisted of the attorneys for the State and defense, Chief Beavers, Chief Lanford, a half score of detectives and as many newspaper men. A stir was created when the explosion of flashlight powder went up as a photograph was taken of the courtroom. Then Sher iff Mangum mounted the judge's platform again and addressed the small crowd. . - —— —
