THE ATLANTA UKUUU1AN AND NEWS. FRANK CALMLY Defense Confident It Will Get * New Trial on Ground Demon stration Influenced Jury, The lawyers for Leo M. Frank Fri day were engaged in getting together every scrap of evidence possible to sustain them in their contention that the jurors who convicted their client were intimidated or unduly influenced by the series of demonstrations out side the courthouse and Inside during the latter part of the trial. The newspaper accounts of the ova tions that were given Solicitor Dor sey and the popular acclaim which met every victory of his will form a large part in the showing which the defense proposes to make on this par ticular phase of its movement for a new trial. Witnesses have been found who will testify in regard to the applause that broke out in the courtroom Sat urday morning when the Solicitor en tered to resume his argument to the jury. There was a spontaneous wave of hand-clapping. The defense will represent that it was impossible for Frank to receive an impartial trial when the jurors could so readily ohsarve the temper of the people. Frank “Man With Iron Nerve.” Assisting the lawyers with every means at his command is Frank him self. His coolness and confidence witn the sentence of death hanging over him have won him a reputation at the Tower for a man with an lror» nerve. He greets his friends with the cheery manner and hearty handshake that he would empldy in his office or in his home. There is no suggestion of the dejected and broken man condemned to be hanged. II;' discusses his case more freely than he did before the trial, but only to his friends. He is observing his lawyers’ admonition as to interviews with the newspaper reporters. He has nothing to say to them. He even has changed his mind, it is under stood. in regard to the statement he planned to make in reply to the argu ment of Solicitor Dorsey. He was in tending to make it public if his at torneys Approved, but they have in- strut ted him to have nothing to say at present. il is continuing his work along this lirte, however, in preparation for the new trial which he is entirely confident of getting. When he is not chatting with his friends he is looking over testimony that was given at his trial and is picking out the points in the address of the Solicitor wtoch he maintains were based on false as sumptions and misrepresentations. He has every appearance of a man engaged in ordinary business or pro fessional routine. In reality he is taking a remarkable role in the des perate fight to save himself from the gallows. That so much is at stake seems not to affect him in the least. He goes calmly and unhurriedly about his work in his quarters at the Tower. Declares He Is Innocent. He makes notations here and there on the testimony and on the address of the Solicitor. Occasionally he de sires to put something into writing, and he calls for the stenographer from the pencil factory. The stenographer comes and the prisoner dictates page after page of matter in much the same businesslike tones that he would acknowledge orders for the pencils which his concern manufactures. “I am innocent,” he has told hla friends, “and sooner or later the world will know it. I am confident that my innocence will be proved, so there is no need for me to woiry.” His wife and his mother have visit ed him. To them he has been as cheerful and optimistic as to his friends. He was the comforter when Solicitor Dorsey was bitterly excoriat ing Mm at the trial. He quieted his hysterical wife when the news of the Jury’s verdict reached the Tower. His attitude has been the same all through the week. Humorists Appalled By Mexican Names PEORIA, ILL., Aug. 29.—Resolu tions demanding an investigation of the spelling ot Mexican names and recommending a change in case of war were adopted at the business Be.-a'on of the American Preas Hu morists here.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 29.—President Wilson to-day sent to the Senate the nomination of George W. Buchner, of Indiana, to be Minister to Liberia. Virginia Reel, Spanish Whirl and Tango Combined in Delight ful New Step. The fox—the common red fox—has reached the acme of fame and re nown; he has been immortalized by having a dance named for him. and sits happily and serenely alongside the turkey, the rabbit and the bear. The latest is the Fox Fandango. It is the outcome of a tour of ex ploration by some of the younger so ciety set. who, in their everlasting search for something new. wound up one day at Grant Park. Struck with the beauty and grace of the red fox as he dragged his frightened little body into his hole, one of the Visitors suggested that, in asmuch as the movements of the tur key. the rabbit and all the other ani mals had been utilized by the danc ing master, it would be a novelty to introduce something based on the graceful movements of the fox. So last Friday night at a Tech dance at the Crystal Palace, the Fox Fandango was originated. It is a graceful dance, without having the taint of suggestiveness that has marred the trots, the hugs and th^ tangos, and it promises to become all the rage in Atlanta social circles. The dance Is a combination of the Virginia reel, the Spanish fandango and the tango. This is about how you do it: First you bow gracefully—If you can—as In the Virginia reel; then you take the walking steps of the tango and waltz them slowly, very slowly; then you tear the fast-going right out of the heart of the Spanish dances and waltz rapidly, although it is not necessary that you place the tip of the fingers on the head, or hong on to your belt with the other hand. You are allowed the liberty of interpolating any elaborations you may desire. Mins Caroline Briggs, a Tech favor ite, and Perry Burrus, a sophisticated sophomore, were among the crowd who originated the new dance, and their interpretation of the Fox Fan dango was one of the best shown at the Cry»itai Palace. bail. Lawyers for Thaw tried to get the healing adjourned until next Wednesday. The bail is exactlv the amount >f the fine that would be imposed on Thompson If he had been found guilty, and it is admitted by lawyers that the depositing of this sum virtually ends Thompson’s case. It is believed that Thompson will get out of Can ada and forfeit his bail. When the case was called, the crown attorneys announced they were ready to try Thompson on the charge of “entering the country by stealth.” Thaw's lawyers, who also represent Thompson, said that they expected the hearing to be on the charge that Thompson had “aided an insane man to enter Canada.” Assistant Superintendent of Immi gration Blake Robertson stated that the crown was not ready to take up this charge until next Monday. Thaw has v\ono another victory in his fight against going back' to the Matteawan, although the result Iri this case may prove only temporary. Ex-District Attorney Jerome, who is here in the capacity of a deputy at torney general of the State of New York, returned to-day from Quebec after having failed to see Sir Lomar Oouin. Governor for this province. Jerome had planned to petition Sir Lomar to quash all proceedings the courts here have instituted so that the representatives of the Canadian Department of Immigration might act at once. Thaw to Shift Fight To Pittsburg Soon. PITTSRURG, PA.. Aug. 29.—Harry Thaw's fight for freedom will be shifted to Pittsburg soon. Plans for a battle in the courts are being laid. Thaw will petition for $10,000 from the fund held in trust for him by the Fidelity Title and Trust Company, which amounts to $30,00(1. If the courts recognize Thaw’s plea for funds with which to fight his battle against the State of New York and his sanity is thereby established by such act of the court, the Canadian authorities will be placed in a pe culiar position inasmuch as Thaw will be held insane by New York and sane by his resident State of Penn sylvania ELI H U ROOT HAS COAT OF TAN.

Because he became imbued with the Idea that one Mexican is the equal of a great many American policemen, C. E. Ellison, No. 163 Walton street, who sayg he is a Mexican employed by the Atlanta Gas Company, occu pied a cell at police headquarters Fri day, nursing several large and painful bumps on the head, inflicted by Offi cer Thompson and Officer Lynan dur ing the process of relieving his mind of his hallucination. Ellinon had a day off Thursday, and In the absence of anything else to do he drank copiousty of mescal and de voured the newspaper stories of the Mexican trouble. The more he drank and the more he read the more indig nant he became that President Wil son should tell President Huerta where to “head In.” Indignation filled his soul. He thirsted for the gore of ■ an American, and forthwith started I out to find a fresh, untainted Ameri- j can on whom he might wreak ven- i geance. Girls Kick His Shins. By some strange freak of chance Ellison wound up in the Syrian quar ter on Marietta street, in Brooklyn, and informed twm passing Syrian girls that Mexican courage and Mexi can mescal make a winning combi nation. The Syrian girls didn’t be lieve it. One of them kicked Ellison in the nhlns, and the other slapped his face. Ellison began to explain volubly that he had no fuss with Syria, but before he got through Officer Lynan. a large and Imposing figure of a man, came up. “Ha!” said'Ellison. “An American! Curses on them!” Officer Lynan reached out a large hand and grasped Ellison firmly by the collnr. “Comp with me!” he fritted firmly. “Leggo!” shouted the brave Mexi can. “I’m a Mexican and I won’t stand for no interference from an American. I can whip any American that ever worse shoes. I’ll bite you if you don’t leggoi - He made as if to chew the officer’s club. Lynan grinned and tapped him on the head. Ellison grunted, but subsided. Lynan called the wagon and the brave Mexican was loaded into It, fighting and protesting. Finally Admits Defeat. En route to the station house Elli son felt hie courage rising up in him again, and he turned on Officer Thompson, who guards the prisoners until Judge Broyles gets hold of them. “You’re an American, too.” Ellison said. "I guess I can lick you. too.” Officer Thompson grinned and said nothing. Ellison made a pass at Thompson. The officer sighed, be cause it was a shame to do It, and tapped Ellison on the head. The Mex ican subsided with a low, despairing gurgle, and as the waters closed over his head, he murmured: “Let Huerta fight ’em; I got enough.” The Mexican was arraigned before Councilman Charles W. Smith, Act ing Recorder at the morning session of Police court and fined $100.76 or 30 days. Unable to pay the fine, he went out In the big “redbird ' wagon, pro testing that “Americano Justice is en tirely too swift.” RETURN FROM ABROAD. GREENSBORO—The Rev W. R.

Sold Cow in Advance, Spent Night Catching One; Now He Is in Jail After he had spent almost the en tire night running down and lassoing a cow' in a pasture near the Federal prison, Ellis Gresham, a negro living at No. 15 Moseley street, wai arrested Friday morning at 4 o’clock when he offered the animal for sale to Sam Mauldin, a butcher at No. 580 Deca tur street. Gresham asked Mauldin late Thurs- dar if he would buy a cow. Mauldin said he would, and Gresham said he would bring the animal Friday morn ing. Mauldin notified the police, and when Gresham, panting and almost exhausted from his hard work in catching the cow, appeared, he was arrested by Patrolman Hannah. Gresham says he doesn't know whose cow it is, but admitted he took the animal out of a pasture. “Lftwdy. boss,” he said, “I done think I earned dat cow. Dat’s the liveliest cow I ever seed. I chased dat cow all over de pasture all night be fore I cotched her.”* McDermott on Stand To Refute Mulhall WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.—Represen tative McDermott, of Illinois, who has been under fire continuously since the Lobby Committees of the House and Senate have been delving into the Mul hall charges, took the stand to-day be fore the House Lobby Inquiry Commit tee In his own defense.

Priceless Manet Art Found in Henhouse Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. PARIS, Aug. 29—Caesar's ashes stopping a bunghole is a phrase forcibly recalled by the remarkable announcement just made that a price less painting by Manet has been found to have patched a hole in the roof of a henhouse in the back gar den of Ziem, the well-known painter, who died recently. As the picture must have been nailed to the shed before Manet be came famous, the inference is that it served to keep the rain off chick ens for something like 50 years.

Folsom, for twenty years proprietor of Folsom’s restaurant and hotel in Marietta street, was begun Friday morning, when the heirs of Jacob V. Johnson, Folsom's cashier, filed a petition in the Superior Court seeking to obtain $2,509 alleged to have been willed to Johnson. The complaint is made against Henry L. Folsom, of California, nephew and executor of the estate. The airing of the issue in the courts is the climax of a long and interest ing story. Johnson, “the fal hful and trusted cashier” in Folmm’s employ, tlie petitioners asaert was rewarded by his employer by the promise of a bequest of $2,500 upon the death of the latter, with the provision that he. Johnson, was still in the employ of Folsom. In the meantime Folsom went out of business, but Johnson continued to act as cashier at the Folsom restau rant. Soon after this Johnson died, and later Folsom died. The Johnson heirs now assert that th« disposition of Folsom’s business discharged the condition of the pay ment to Johnson, and as lawful heirs they claim the $2,500 share of the Folsom estate. The petition is signed by s half dozen members of the John son family.
