3 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. PASTOR SAYS THESE STYLES BAR WOMEN FROM HEAVEN THESE ARE THE FASHIONS CONDEMNED I?Y DR. CHARLES O. JONES AND DR. LEN G. BROUGHTON. Young Woman a Daily Visitor to Condemned Husband's Cell in Fulton County Tower. The Slit Skirt. The Pantaloon Skirt. Abbreviated Bathing Costumes. Tho Transparent Skirt. The Slit Skirt, With Kneelet. P Columbus Court Officer, Held as Slayer, Condemned for Fatal Gun Play. Never abaiting in her loyalty even after her husband had been convict ed of one of the mopt shocking crimes in the history of Georgia, Mrs. Leo M. Frank has been a daily visitor at the Fulton County Tower since th* Pnd of the trial and has assisted Frank materially in going over the mountain of testimony that piled uf. during the four weeks. Her intense interest in each de velopment of the case that was man ifested throughout the trial now is receiving a most practical application. While the battle for her husband’s life was in progress she could only suggest now and then to Frank, by whom she sat, or to one of his law yers, who sat just in front of her. Sees Frank Each Day. When ii.-itor Dorsey declared that she never had gone to the po lice station to see her husband and laid great stress on this poftit as an indication that she knew Frank was guilty, she leaned forward in an excited protest, but as no w'ife is permitted to testify for or agains* her husband in a cfcse of this sort, she was forced to k£ep het silence. When the new trial comes—and she is confident that one is coming— she proposes to see that there shall be some way to show that she never for a moment eflteftained the shadow of a doubt of her husband’s innocence and that her demeanor at no time could be construed as one of sus picion. Every afternoon from about 2 o’clock uniil 5 she is with Frank in his quarters at the Totver. She nev er is quite able to escape from the consciousness that her husband of on ly a few years is in the shadow of the gallows and that, if the judge’s S p n tence were to be carried out with out uppeal, he would be hanged as the >rutal murderer of Mary Phagan on October 10. Reassured by Husband. Fhe is, However, reassured by her husband’s cheerful optimism and she enters eagerly with him into the preparation of certain phases of the case, in which Frank is assisting his lawyers. With Frank, she is sifting out all in the testimony of the State and all in the argument of the Solici tor that is declared by the defense to be false or without foundation. On these points the attack of Frank’s lawyers will be centered if the netv trial is granted by Judge Roan or by the Supreme Court of the State. She talks with her husband about the every-day events at home part of the time she is With him, but the greater share of the time is spent in a discussion of his case and the best way in which to attack the barrier of evidence that the State has erected about him. Mother Leaves City. Mrs. Rea Frank, mother of the con victed man, joined in these confer ences for a while, but it became im perative for her to return to Brook lyn, where her aged husband is crit ically ill. She is expected to be in Atlanta at the time the arguments for a new trial take place before Judge Roan October 4. Frank’s father, because of his in validism, was unable to be present at any time during the rtial. The news of his son’s conviction was a great blow to him, and for a time the phy sicians feared for his life. Reuben Arnold, who has been rest ing for a few days since the trial, is expected to be back at work at the case next week. A long fight in the courts is anticipated before Frank’s fate finally is decided. A refusal by ' Judge Roan to grant a new trial will mean an appeal to the Supreme Court, and this undoubtedly will entail months of litigation. Safety Razor Fails to Kill Despondent Man William Abraham, of Montgomery, Ala., who attempted suicide at a pri vate sanitarium with a safety razor blade, is being attended at a private hospital. His recovery is expected. His brother has arrived from Mont gomery to aid him. Abraham has been in bad health for several months, and recently became despondent. Just after lunch Friday he slipped into his room. A little later he was found by an attendant lying on the floor in a pool of blood, his throat lacerated with ugly wounds.

I)r. Charles O. Jones Declares Devil Would Enjoy Stroll Up Peachtree. Atlanta Girl Says She Will Face Accused Husband in Court. Love Dream Shattered. "How does it feel being the wife of a bigamist? Well, I'm awfully glad I escaped when I did, for he said he was going to taka me to the moun tains, where there wouldn’t be any rumors.” With the love light fast dying in her dark brown eyes and more or less resigned, Mrs. Charles L. Smith, wife No 3 of the man who was brought to Atlanta from Seale. Ala., Friday and locked up on a charge of bigamy, bared the story of her first love and her disappointment. Mrs. Smith is a daughter of S. M. Wilson, of No. 331 Courtland street. Since her misfor tune she has resided with her father and mother at this address. Grieved at the sudden turn of af fairs which has put her husband in jail, Mrs. Smith is bearing up brave ly. She admits she has worried— “worried lots at times”—but declares that at the same time she was so glad it was not any worse. “He came to see me about four weeks before we were married,” she said, “but never an inkling did I get of the other wife. He did tell me he was a preacher and that his first wife had died. That was all. Then we were married. “Not many weeks after that I learned from a friend that Smith had a wife in Opelika. I told him what I had heard, and showed him tire let ter. He answered me by tearing up the letter and denying the charge. He said he would take me to the moun tains, where I couldn’t hear rumors. That was at West Point. “Finally he bought me a ticket to Opelika and said I could see for my self. In some strange manner he happened to get there on the same train, so we arrived in Opelika to gether. There we met tne other Mrs. Smith at the station. Of course he was confused and I left them talking together. “I heard he tried to escape through a coal chute.” Mrs. Smith declared she was ready to face her husband in court and that she longed for the time when she will be free following his con viction of bigamy, which she pre dicts. The assertion made in New York recently by Dr. Len G. Broughton, of London, formerly pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle of Atlanta, that the devil would enjoy nothing more than a walk up Broadway or Fifth avenue, looking at the slit skirts.

Cfiurch and one of At lanta’s best-known ministers, con cedes the point that .His Satanic Majesty might find pleasure in view ing New York women as they parade the streets almost in the altogether, but— He declares, that for real, simon pure enjoyment—to reach the acme of devilish glee—His Satanic Majes ty must come to Atlanta and stroll along Peachtree street, when the belles are out—almost literally out, too—in force with the latest thing fashion has thrown about them. “In proportion to population, and other things taken into considera tion,” said Dr. Jones, “conditions in Atlanta are as bad or even worse, than they are in New York. While the devil undoubtedly would find en joyment in the metropolis, he would find it in a greater measure, perhaps in Atlanta. ‘‘Curse of Generation.” “The enjoyment that a walk up Peachtree street would afford the devil would depend solely on the devil’s capacity for enjoyment. “The enjoyment would be there, for the dresses seen on Atlanta streets, especially on • Peachtree street, are shocking enough to keep the devil Man and Wife Blame Each Other for Woe Grover Carr, of No. 7 Gaskill street, and his young wife each protested Friday to Councilman Charles W. Smith, Acting Recorder, that the other is to blame for their marital troubles, which came to a climax last Tuesday when the husband struck his wife and they separated. Mrs. Carr said her husband became angered because his dinner was not ready. Carr denied this, declaring it was all due to his wife’s careless ness in her house work and neglect of the three small children. Carr was placed on probation un der Policeman Coogler. It is expect ed the children will be placed in the Home for the Friendless. Woman Held Guilty By Broyles Appeals Attorneys for -Lula Evans, who was fined $25.75 on July 28 for alleged violation of the liquor law, filed a writ of certiorari in the Superior Court with a request for a rehearing of the case. The petitioners assert the verdict against the plaintiff, rendered by Re corder Broyles, was “contrary to law. contrary to the evidence in the care, contrary to the principles of justice and equity, and strongly and greatly against the weight of evidence in the case.’* Fund Asked forU.S. Armor Plate Plant WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—Declar ing’ that the recent bids on armor plate submitted to the Navy Depart ment demonstrated that the Govern ment was at the mercy of the armor plate trust, Representative Britten, Of Illinois, to-day introduced a bill 'n the House to appropriate $7,000,000 for a Government armor plate manu facturing plant. He Wanted to See if It'd Explode; It Did SABINE. TEX., Aug. 30.—Just to see what would happen E. Vade Ball fired a bullet into two tons of dyna mite to-day. He was blown to bits. The explosive had been stored in Fort Dowling since the Civil War. The fort was wrecked. Timbers wefe hurled hundreds of yards from the scene of the explosion. in a good humor till the end of time. The only question is whether they are too shocking even for the ruler of the lower regions. “Modern fashions, that have pro duced the filit skirt, the shadow gown and the other monstrosities of dress that cause women to traverse the streets with their bodies exposed, are the curse of the generation. The prevailing fashion seems to be to wear as few clothes as possible—and to make these few as suggestive as pos sible. Modern woman's clothing leads only to the devil. It tempts men—rthough I believe firmly that few women wear thees clothes for that purpose—and no woman ever fell without the aid of a man. “The wave of immorality that reems to be sweeping the country is due ’h a large measure to the clothe3 that women wear nowadays, and these clothes—and the lack of them— is one of the tendencies that lead to the social evil in high and low society.’ Says Remedy Lies in Parents. Dr. Jones declares that the remedy for the present craze for immodest dress lies in the hands of the moth ers of the country. “Let the mothers take a hand in this matter,” he said, “and teacn their daughters that they are doing wrong, and then there will be some chance of stopping the craze. It seems that there is no hope until this Is done. Conditions appear to b5 getting worse instead of better and it seems to be up to the mothers ” Dr. Broughton, who probably wiil preach in Atlanta before he returns to England, created a sensation when he denounced the styles worn in New York. He took foi his text “Shall we know our loved ones in Heaven,” and declared that the answer, for the silhouette and slit skirt devotees, is this: “We shall not recognize them in Heaven, for they will not be there.” Would End Summer Terms of Congress WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. — The tedious grind of a summer ression of Congress in Washington heat has had its effect on the new members of the House.
