Solicitor’s Plea Called Unfair By Frank
REGRETS HE
T
REPLY
Prisoner Prepares Statement to
Combat What He Terms Dis-
totion of Facts.
“Dorsey's speech was as full of
holes as a sieve! If I could have had
just one hour to reply to his eight-
hour address ] am confident I could
have «hown the jury that I was an
innocent man and that the Solicitor
was misrepresenting the facts in or
der to obtain a conviction.'
Thie was a statement made by Leo
M. Frank \o friends who visited him
in the Jail Wednesday.
"Dors^v twisted'and contorted the
real circumstances of the case until
‘hey \ve r e unrecoverable,” he con
tinued. “He altered everything that
was said and everything that w« =
done until it seemed to point to my
cuilt. If I could have spoken only
briefly after he finished his eight -
hour speech I could have shown. I am
wire. that he departed from the facta
ol .i,fag w here vtf U sui^r d Jt> 1 fli-
“I am preparing a statement In re
ply to his argument to the jury which
I propose to make public, if my law
yers think it advisable. In it I will
point out exactly how the Solicitor
warped the testimony and the facts
to 9uit his own convenience. I know
that these misstatements of his had
t irir influence with the jury and that
is why l am rebelling again?»t the un
fairness of the situation.”
Frank Still Optimistic.
''rank, according to his ffiends. was
as optimistic, as ever Wednesday in
regard to the ultimate outcome of his
r*n«e. but was somewhat downcast
over the wave of i-'entiment again*-
him. He said he 'ould not under
stand how people could be so certain
of his guilt when the testimony was
ircumstantial in the extreme, excep*
for Mint of Conley, who was an ad-
mi fed liar and perjurer.
Rabbi Marx. Emil Selig. Prince
Myers, Montag. Milton Kline and
>l rbert Schiff were among Frank’s
visitors Wednesday. Mr. Selig.
Frank's father-in-law. remained at
the Tower from 8:4j until about
11: SO.
Schiff brought with him c stenog
rapher from the pencil factory and
Frank dictated a number of letters
and also acme matter in connection
with his own case. The former su
perintendent is compiling in compact
form all of the important testimony
at the trial so that he more readily
may refer to it when he comes to
make his reply to Dorsey.
He sent for his diary and for a
quantity of paper while Schiff was
with him and the two worked to
gether for more fhan an hour.
An indictment of dim Conley,
charging him with being accessory
after the fact in the murder of Mary
J’hagan will tie asked at the first ses
sion of the next Grand Jury, accord
ing to the present plans of Solicitor
General Dorsey.
The new Grand Jury w r ill meet the
first week in September, and prob
ably will have the request of th^ So
licitor for the indictment of Conley
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 presentat’on at

WASHINGTON. Aug 27.—After
Chairman Clayton, of the Judiciary
Committee, had made public a sy
nopsis of the charges against United
States Judge Emory Speer, of the
Southern District of Georgia, the
House to-day passed the resolution
he had introduced yesterday, author
izing the Judiciary Committee to
proceed with an investigation to de
termine whether impeachment pro
ceedings should or should not be in
stituted against the judg»*.
The resolution was passed just a
fey minutes before President Wii-
son appeared before the joint ses
sion to read his mespage on Mexico.
Just as soon a* the House convened
Chairman Clayton asked unanimous
consent for the immediate considera
tion of the resolution and it was at
oflee taken up af t-ht* point U was
left off yesterday.
Representative Nelson, of Wiscon
sin, Republican, made a short speech
pointing out principally that Judge
Speer had written to the Judiciary
Committee that he was Innocent of
the charges and demanding that an
investigation be made. The galleries
were rapidly Ailing with visitors who
wanted to see and hear President
Wilson, and the noise and confusion
were so great that few could hear
Mr. Nelson When he concluded ho
received scattering applause.
Clayton Roads Charges,
chairman Clayton then arose
"Mr. Speaker," he said, “in view of
the publicity given these charges and
the further fact that a request
amounting to a demand has been
made by members of this House for
information, 1 shall now proceed to
read a synopsis of the rharges made
against Judge Speer, which have been
under consideration by the Judiciary
Com mittee.”
chairman f’layton proceeded to
read the charges.
“In addition.” he said. 1 vre have
many affidavits and photographs of
documents. Altogether the record is
very bulky. I hold it Irt rrty hand
now. that the members of the House
may see it."
Chairman Clayton held up a large
package, containing apparently hun
dreds-of pages of record. 9
"The committee has decided that,
beyond the statement already given
to the House nothing further shall
he disclosed in the case until the in
vestigation is taken tip,” he said.

The twenty i harges read by Chair
man Clayton were as follows:

sizing the fact that the United Staf*-
must remain the firm friend of the
people of Mexico in their present
stress and trouble, President Wilson
to-dav read his long awaited mes
sage on Mexican affairs to Congrew-
The message was distinctly padth
in tone and contains little in the
way of recommendation for future
policy except the single one that this
Government must urge earnestly that
a'd Americans should leave Mexico hi
once and that the United State-
should assist them to g»>t out of Mex
ico In every way possible
The Present counsels delay be
fore further action is taken and says
' Impatience on our part would be
childish and would be fraught with
every risk of wrong and folly. Th 5
door is not closed agafnSt the re
sumption, either upon the initiative of
Mexico or upon ojttr own. of the ef
fort to bring order out of the confu
sion by friendly co-operative action,
should fortunate occasion offer.
Muit Await Understanding.
“Bo long as the misunderstanding
continues we can duly await the time
of their awakening to a realization
to the actual facts. We can n >t
thrust our good offices upon them.
The situation must be given a little
more tlrhe to work itself out in the
new circumstances. at*d 1 believe that
only a little while will be necessary.
The circumstances are new*. The re
jection of our friendship makes them
new and w’ill inevitably bring Its own
alterations in the whole aspect of if-
fairs. The actual situation of the au
thorities at Mexico City will presently
be revealed."
President Wilson's message is un
expectedly brief and closes with the
statement that several of the gre^ t
Governments of the world have given
the l’nited States their ~enerous mor
al support In urging on the provision
al authorities at Mexico City the ac
ceptance of our proffered go Ad of
fices in the spirit in which they were
made. The President relates the cir-
cumstances leading up to the Lin I
mission and all the facts in connec
tion with It.
His recommendations are less dra*
tic and less roncltisive than was ex
pected.

not describe, but I deem it my duty
to speak very frankly of what thia
Government has done and should seek
to do in fulfillment of its obligation
to Mexico herself, as a friend anl
neighbor, and to American citizen#
whose lives and vital interests art
daily affected by the distressing con«
ditlofts which now obtain beyond oil#

“Those conditions touch us verv
nearly. Not met ly because they lie
at our very doors. That, of cours°.
