Prank Fri day were engaged in getting together every wrap of evidence possible to sustain them in their contention that the jurors who convicted their client werO 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 wag impossible for Frank to receiv? an impartial trial when the jurors could so readily observe the temper { of the people. Frank "Man With Iron Nerve.” Assisting; the lawyers with every j rjieans at his command is Frank him self. His coolness and confidence witn j 1 he sentence of death hanging over j him have won him a reputation at the j Tower for a man with an iron nerve. He greets his friends with the cheery j manner and hearty handshake that hr would employ in his office or in hiej |l home There is no suggestion of the dejected and broken man condemned to be hanged. Me discusses his case more freely than he did before the trial, but only 1 o his friends. He is observing his lawyers' admonition as to interviews with Hie 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 structed him to have nothing to say ei presen I. He is continuing his work along this line, however, in preparation for th» new trial which he is entirely confident of getting. When he is not chatting with his friends he is looking over testimony thRt was given at his trial and is picking out the points in vie address of the Solicitor which he maintains were based on false as sumptions and misrepresentations. He lias every appearance of a man engaged in ordinary business or pro fessional routine In reality ( he ts taking a remarkable role in the des perate fight to save himself from the gallows. That so much is at staae 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 the. e on the testimony and on the address of the solicitor occasionally he de sires to put something into writing, "nd he calls for the stenographer from the pencil factor? The stenographer comes and the prisoner dictates page after page of matter in much the same businesslike tones that he wou.d acknowledge ol-ders tor the pencils w Mch hi? Concern manufactures. •I am innocent, he has told hie friends, "and sooner or later the world will know it I am confident thlt rm innocence, will be proved., „o there is no need for me to worry. His wife and his mother have visit ed him. To them he has been as cheerful and optimistic as to nit friends He was the comforter when Solicitor Dorsey was bitterly excoriat ing hm at the trial. He quieted his hysterical wife wl, cn the news of the K verdict reached the Tower. His attitude has been the same all through the week. ‘‘“t will come out all right, never fear" he said to his wife when she was’ weeping in hi- cell at the jail, ms mother left him Thursday to re- Iiirn in Brooklyn Friday was the firei dav she had not been with him since the font weeks’ trial began July os exosefed that she will CAIIIA hack to Atlanta when the argument* for a new trial are heard October l.

STRIP President Huerta Now Inclined to Look With More Favor on Peace Proposals. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. VERA CRUZ. MEXICO. Aug. 29 Closest secrecy to-day surrounded the movement* of John Lind, the specie' envoy of President Wilson, who came heie with pacification proposals. Mr Lind was still here this morn ing. but refused to soy whether or not he would go to Mexico City during the day to attempt to reopen negotiation-’ with the Mexican Government. I am under obligations to kee*. silent.” said Mr. Lind. I would be a poor diplomatic agent If I gave no tice of intentions before I formed my own mind on them.” Coded diplomatic messages were exchanged between this city and Washington, and als.» between Mr. Lind and Charge d Affaires Nelson O'Shaughnepsy of the United State* Embassy in Mexico City. At the United States Consulate here ii was said that Mr. Lind had not revealed hi* intentions there. !t was not even known whether orders had been received by the Special En- vo> from Washington to return to the Mexican Capital It wa* pointed out. however, that Mr. Lind's instructions were so com prehensive that he might return tn Mexico City within ids own discre tion if h*' thought that good wnuid result from such a move.

William B Hale, special investi gator for fhe Stare Department, who came here from Mexico City to tak* passage to-dav on the Ward liner Moio Castle for New York, wa - equally silent. Press dispatches from Mexico City stated that the streets were full -*1 rumors and that even the press no tices were contradictory and mislead- ing From the mass of rumors, however, it was gathered that President Huerta is now disposed to accept the pro posals of President Wilson and prob ably will soon give notice of his ,n- tentions. In spite of the aggressive asser tion- of Foreign Minister Gamboa in his rejoinder to Mr. Lind's second note, it is known that the Government has been influenced by President Wil son's announcement that the United States Government will influence bankers to make a big loan to th* Mexican Government. It is believed that the United Slate* will do as it has done in Cent < America that is. to guarantee t!i. payment of the loan If negotiation are opened under such circumstances. Mexico probably will ask for about 130,000,000. Mexico Is Bluffing, Says Col. Van Orsdale.
