STATEMENT ATTACKING

as the first business for its disposal.
The maximum sentence for this of
fense is three years, but it is thought
that Conley, as a self-confessed ac
cessory and a State’s witness, will
get off more lightly than the maxi
mum.
Frank told friends Wednesday that
he was planning to have a large part
in the conduct of the fight to obtain
a reversal of the verdict of last Mon
day afternoon. Frank rendered his
attorneys assistance during the prep
aration of his case for presentation at
the trial which has just ended, but
all of the decisions of any conse
quence were left to them.
The convicted man followed every
move of Rosser and Arnold, as well
as of Solicitor Dorsey, with an un
ceasing vigilance and w-ith a thor
ough comprehension of the purpose
involved. Friends say he feels that
he is competent to have a part in
the mapping out of the future cam
paign for his life and liberty, and ex
pects to have a considerable voice in
every plan that is proposed.
It is his life that is at stake, and
he is convinced that he has obtained
a sufficient knowledge of legal pro
cedure at least to advise and sug
gest and, at times, direct as to what
shall be done.
Rosser Lays Battle Plan.
Rosser Wednesday began active
preparation for the appeal for a new-
trial for Frank. In summing up the
evidence for the argument of the case
before Judge Roan on October 4.
Solicitor Dorsey will work in con
junction with Mr. Rosser.
Mr. Rosser emphasized the coloa-
sal task before him as he sat in his
office in the Grant Building by point
ing to the mass of evidence taken by
the court stenographer. It embraces
4,500 typew-ritten pages, far and away
the record for criminal cases in Geor
gia. This must be condensed to a
workable basis—some 200 pages—ac
cording to Mr. Rosser. It is supposed
to be just enough to make the points
clear on w-hich the arguments for a
new trial will be based. But attor
neys representing both sides must
agree on the evidence submitted. And
therefore to save time Solicitor Dor
sey will collaborate w-ith Mr. Ros
ser.
If Judge Roan refuses a new trial,
Attorney Rosser declared the case im
mediately would be taken to the Su
preme Court.
v Thus the sentence of Frank to be
hanged betw-een 10 and 2 o’clock on
October 10 will be stayed. It prob
ably will be after the first of the new
year before the Supreme Court w-lll
be able to take up the case, anu
Frank automatically will get a respite.
Mr. Rosser’s statements and acts
refuted the reports that he had suf
fered greatly from the long strain of
the trial.
Away from the color and excite
ment of the courtroom scenes he is
proceeding on his work with the me
thodical energy he w-ould proceed on
a civil case
Referring to Mr. Arnold’s trip to
Bedford Springs, Pa., and the report
that he himself had suffered a loss
of 25 pounds in weight. Mr. Ross°r
said:
“I don’t need a vacation, so I have
gone back to work. I weigh exactly
the same as I did the day I w-ent In
to the case. I haven't got time ti
worry about my physical well-being,
“I would greatly enjoy a good rest.
But Mr. Arnold or myself has got to
prepare this case for a new trial. He
is gone and I've got to do it. So you
see I am at it.”
Mr. Arnold will return in good time
to take part in the appeal for a ne.v
trial.
October 10 Jewish Sacred Day.
That he is not without tactical abil
ity in a law court was demonstrated
by his statement to the jury.
An impressive coincidence in the
sentencing of Leo Frank to hang or.
October 10 is that this is the most
deeply sacred day of al of Frank’s
religion—the Day of Atonement. It
is the day for confession of sins. It
probably is as universally observed
by members of this faith as Good
Friday, for example, is observed by
the Roman Catholics.
The setting of this date, however,
may be regarded as little more than a
formality, as it is certain that Frank
will not go-to his death on that day.
The arguments for a new- trial will be
heard on October 4, and if the motior
is denied an immediate appeal will be
made to the Supreme Court, and this
will necessitate a postponement in
the date set for the execution while
j the matter is being thrashed out in
j the higher courts.
While the beginning of the real
| battle w-ill not take place until Octo-
| ber 4, Frank’s law-yers entered at once
| into a new- plan of campaign for his
freedom. Reuben Arnold is taking a
few- days;’ vacation, but will return to
1 the city shortly to resume his w-ork
j on the case. In the meanw-hile w-it-
i nesses are being examined and data
obtained in reference to several of
! the points on which a new- trial win
be asked of Judge Roan.
Conley Says He Told Truth.
Frank arose at 7 o’clock Wednes-
J day morning and w-alked about his
I limited quarters for half an hour,
j and then sat down to read the pa-
i pers. He was reading when his fa
ther-in-law, Emil Selig, and Sig Mon-
: tag came with his breakfast. He
; was reported to be as cheerful as at
j any time during the months he w r as
| aw-aiting for his trial.
Jim Conley had for his breakfast
the usual jail fare. “I told the truth,
boss,” he remarked to J. L. Poindex
ter, one of the deputies.
“A lie w-ill wash away, and you can’t
keep it, but the truth, it will stay
by you,” w-as his sage observation
as he continued to comment on his
case.

WESTER MUSIC COMPANY,
No. 64 Peachtree Street,
Atlanta, Ga. (Adv.)
convicted man, was told Tuesday at
his home in Brooklyn of the verdict
that had been returned against his
son. An elderly man and an invalid
much of the time. Dr. Frank was
prostrated by the news.
"I know Leo is innocent. He never
would be capable of committing a
terrible deed of that sort,” the old man
told Harry Lewis, the family lawyer,
who spoke to the reporters. Lewis
was one of the character witnesses
who came to Atlanta to testify at
the trial.
In making their motion for a new-
trial Tuesday, Frank’s lawyers set
forth statutory grounds, and lateV will
file an amended motion. The first
motion represents that the verdict of
guilty was contrary to the evidence,
contrary to law and contrary to the
weight of the law, and that the court,
after overruling a motion of the de
fense, allowed certain testimony which
w-as relative to other crimes than the
one specified in the bill of indict
ment.
T his last reference is in regard to
Jim Conley’s testimony, in which the
negro told of the alleged conduct of
Frank w-ith women in his office.
Frank’s Fight Likely
To Extend Over Months.
That the Leo Frank case can n^t
reach the State Supreme Court, where
it seems destined to go, before the
third Monday in December, was the
opinion expressed Wednesday morn
ing by a court official w-ho has figured
out all the “possibilities.”
Should the famous case reach the
Supreme Court even at this earlv
date it probably would be several
weeks before a decision could be ren
dered, as a mass of testimony would
have to be considered by the court.
According to this official, should
Frank’s attorneys be overruled by
Judge Roan on October 4 in their re
quest for a new trial, they may then
file a bill of exceptions any time with
in the following tweyy days. At the
time of the filing of the bill of ex
ceptions, which in this case probably
will be immediately after the decision
of Judge Roan and before October 10.
the date of the hanging, the ju^g?
“shall,” according to the law, orde T
a supersedeas, which stays the exe
cution.
After the bill of exceptions has been
filed and the supersedeas ordered, the
attornevs for the defense will have
ten days :d which to present the mat
ter to the attorneys for the Stats.
Following the notification to the State
the defense then has fifteen days to
file it with the Clerk of the Superior
Court, who then has ten days to for-
w-ard tile record to the Clerk of tht
Supreme Court.
Should the defense take full advan
tage of the time granted in each
case there is a possibility that the
case w-ill not reach the Supreme
Court until January, or perhaps Feb
ruary.

Women Join in Demonstration and
Fugitive Bows His Apprecia
tion for Their Sympathy,
SHERBROOKE, QUE., Aug. 27.—
The habeas corpus proceedings in the
Thaw case were abruptly stopped
after they began before Judge Globen-
sky in the Superior Court at 10
o’clock, and adjournment w-as taken
until 3 p. m.
The judge said he w-anted more
time to consult the authorities on
Thaw’s move to withdraw- his appli
cation far a habeas corpus writ.
There was a tremendous demon
stration in the courtroom in Thaw’s
favor when Counsellor Samuel Jacobs,
on behalf of the Canadian Govern
ment and the State of New York, be
gan his opening arguments opposing
the withdrawal of Thaw’s petition.
“Let Him Go," Cry Spectators.
“Let him go,” cried the spectators.
“Give him justice,” screamed others.
The like demonstration had been
made earlier w-hile Thaw was being
take/i from the jail to the courthouse.
Men and women followed the auto
mobile and blocked the streets which
it traveled. “They can’t get you, Har
ry,” cried some. Women joined en
thusiastically in the demonstration.
Thaw was delighted beyond measure.
The court attaches had difficulty in
keeping order. Thaw- sat at the law
yers’ table while his attorneys, in re
ply to Jacobs, pleaded that under the
civil code of the Dominion they had
a perfect right to withdraw- their ap
plication for a habeas corpus w-rlt.
Women in Demonstration.
Judge Globensky finally halted the
proceedings, announcing he would
take the case under advisement until
3 o’clock in order to consult the au
thorities.
When this announcement was made
one spectator cried out: “Good, good.
Let us have fair play, and three
cheers for Harry Thaw.”.
There w-ere about 200 women pres
ent, and all joined in the demonstra
tion. With his face beaming, Thaw
arose, placed his hand over his heart
and bowed.
Dr. Raymond F. C. Kieb, superin
tendent of the Matteawan, N. Y., asy
lum for the criminal insane, from
which Thaw escaped, has Joined the
forces which are fighting to get the
fugitive back into that institution.
Thaw’s counsel is confronted by a
formidable array.
Mr. Jerome, Deputy Attorney Gen
eral Franklin Kennedy, of New- York
State; Samuel Jacobs, of Montreal,
representing New York State; Dis
trict Attorney E. A. Conger, of Dutch
ess County, New York (in which Mat
teawan is situated), and others are
co-operating with the Canadian legal
representatives.
Park Manager’s
Power To Be Cut
Another* step in the differences be
tween the Pork Commission and Gen
eral Manager Dan Carey will be taken
at the next meeting of the commis
sion when a new set of by-laws*ma
terially curbing the authority of the
general manager will be adopted. The
new- rules practically put the entire
operation of the department under
the direct control of the commission.
The proposed adoption of the rules
is regarded as another step in the ef
fort of members of the board to force
the resignation of Carey, but this he
states he will not do.
“It is nothing more nor less than
an effort to make me resign, but even
the adoption of the new rules and
making my position practically noth
ing but a little clerkship, will not
have the effect of making me resign,”
said Carey.
“Briefly, the new- rules place the
operation of the department back un
der the same method prevailing until
three years ago, when the presen*
rules w-e*e adopted. A touch of the
pathetic is included in one rule which
would prevent anyone connected with
the park department from drinking
even .small glass of beer at a barbe
cue or anywhere else, this rule say
ing that an employee or officer shall
not drink anything calculated to pro
duce Intoxication.
“I suppose the commission meant to
hit at drunkenness In this rule, which
has always been enforced by me, but
If It is rigidly enforced under this
interpretation it would result in the
lo^s of a few good men. For instance,
we have a splendid florist who hap
pens to be a german and who is quite
fond of his beer, but who never gets
drunk. He probably would quit his
Job before he w-ould his beer.”

Ling To Return to
U. S. Immediately.
VERA CRUZ. MEXICO. Aug. 27.—
It Is now likely that Special Envoy
John Lind will Immediately return to
the United States on the battleship
Michigan. It was suggested that he
await the Morro Castle, w-hich will sail
to-morrow, but fears were expressed
that developments needing his atten
tion might arise during the five days
which it takes the Morro Castle to get
to New York.
Hope that Mr. Lind would reopen
negotiations with President Huerta is
practically abandoned in all circles.
Gamboa Hints at Return.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 27.—Foreign
Minister Gamboa intima^d to-day
that Special Envoy Lind may return
here from Vera Cruz and reopen ne
gotiations w-Ith the Mexican Govern

President Huerta to Lind Mr. Gam
boa maintains the optimism w-hich
has marked him since the break with

On the other hand, there ^s an omi
nous complexion on the action of War
Minister Blanquet. The War Minister
to-day sent circulars to Governors of
iill of the States ordering them to
parade all the able-bodied men in
their dominions on September 16 a

is evidently to show the United States
the w-ar strength of Mexico and
arouse patriotism.
