the trial which has just ended, but
fill 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 with 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
6hall be done.
Rosser Lays Battle Plan.
Rosser Wednesday began active
preparation for the appeal for a new
trial for Frank. Ip 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 colos
sal task before him as he sat in his
office in the Grant Building by noint-
ing to the mass of evidence tafen by
the court stenographer. It embraces
4.500 typewritten 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 which 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 with 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.
Thus the sentence*of Frank to be
hanged between 10 and 2 o'clock on
October 10 will be stayed. It prob
ably will be after the first of the hew
year before the Supreme Court will
be able to take up the case, and
Frank automatically will get a respite.
Mr. Rosser’s statements and acta
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 would proceed on
f 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. Rosser
said:
"I don’t need a vacation, so I have
gonp back to work. 1 weigh exactly
tne- same as I did the day I went in
to the case. I haven’t got time ti
worry about my physical wcll-beinj.
"I would greatly enjoy a good resL
But Mr. Arnold or myself has got to
J prepare this case for a new trial. He
i is gone and I’ve got to do it. So you
I 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 >f 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
the matter is being thrashed out in
the higher courts.
While the beginning of the real
battle will not take place until Octo
ber 4. Frank s lawyers entered at once
into a new plan of campaign for his
freedom. Reuben Arnold is taking a
few days' vacation, but will return to
the city shortly t*o resume his work
on the case. In the meanwhile wit
nesses are being examined and data
obtained in reference to several of
the points on which a new trial will
be asked of Judge Roan.
Conley Says He Told Truth.
Frank arose at 7 o’clock Wednes
day morning and walked about his
limited quarters for half an hour,
and then sat down to read the pa
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
any time during the months he was
awaiting 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 deputiel.
‘‘A lie wdll wash away, and you can’t
keep it, but the truth, it will stay
by you,” was his sage observation
as he continued to comment on his
case.
Rudolph M. Frank, father of the
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

Power To Be Cut
trial Tuesday, Frank's lawyers set
forth statutory grounds, and later 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
was relative to other crimes than the
one specified in the bill of indict
ment.
This last reference Is in regard to
Jim Conley’s testimony, in which the
negro told of the alleged conduct of
Frank with women in his office.
Frank’s Fight Likely
To Extend Over Months.
That the Leo Frank case can not
reach the State Supreme Court, wher°
it seems destined to go, before the
third Monday in December, was the
opinion expressed Wednesday morn
ing by a court official who has figured
out all the “possibilities.”
Should the famous case reach the
Supreme Court even at this early
date it probably would be seven'
weeks before a decision could be ren
dered, as a mass of testimony would
have to be considered by the coun.
According to this official, should
Frank's attorneys be overruled oy
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 twenty 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 jugg^
“shall,” according to the law, ord-'
a supersedeas, which stays the exe
cution.
After the bill of exceptions has beex
filed and the supersedeas ordered, the
attorneys for the defense will have
ten days *.:< vvhicti to present the mat
ter to ‘ho attorneys for the Stats.
Following the notification to the State
the defense then has fifteen days to
file it tv2til the Clerk of the Superior
Court, who then has ten days to for
ward tne 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 th°
case will noi reach the Supreme
Court urjtil January, or perhanf, 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 was taken
until 3 p m.
The judge said he wanted 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 while Thaw was being
taken 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 writ.
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 were about 200 women pres
ent, and ail 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.
Gov. Craig Takes Up
Charlotte Lynching
Another step In the differences be
tween the Park 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 for'-'
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.”
5?aid 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 we ’e adopted. A touch of the
pathetic is Included in one rule which
would prevent anyone connected with
the park department from drinking
even Mmall glass of beer at a barbe
cue or anywhere else, this rule sav
ing that an employee or officer shall
not drink anything calculated to pro
duce intoxication.
“I suppose the commission meant Lo
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 tne
lovs of a few good men. For instance,
we have a splendid florist who hap
pens to be a German "h-nd who is quite
fond of his beer but who never gets
drynk. He probably would quit his
job before he would his beer.”

fest considerations of practical ex

cumstances be partisans of either
party to the contest that now dis
tracts Mexico, or constitute ourselves
the virtual umpire between them.
“I am happy to say that several of
the great governments of the world

generous moral support In urging
upon the > provisional authorities at

our proffered good offices in the spirit
in which they were made. We have
not acted in this matter under the
ordinary principles of International
obligations. All the world expects us
in such circumstances to act in fact
as Mexico’s nearest friend and inti

any serious question that we have
the moral right In the case or that we

“If further motive were necessary

mankind to what we are attempting,
this attitude of the great nations of
the world tow’ard what we may at

feel the more solemnL oound to go
to the utmost lengths of patience and
forbearance in this painful and anx

of moral force will before many days

dice down, and we shab triumph as
Mexico’s friend sooner than we could
triumph as her enemy—and how
much more handsomely, with how
much higher and finer satisfaction
