FRANK’S TRIAL NOT
FAIR, SAYS PASTOR
The Rev. A. R. Holderby Blames
Popular Prejudice and Clamor
for Vengeance.
The Rev. A. R Holderby. r>astor of
the Moore Memorial Church, declar
ed from ihe pulpit in his Sunday ser
mon that Leo M Frank, convicted
of the murder of Mary Phagan n
the South's most notable criminal
< .Lae, was the victim of an unfa'r
trial
The minister described the popular
prejudice and the clamor for ven
geance following the crime and as
serted that the conditions forbade a
fair trial of the acused man.
He did not attempt to pass on
Frank's guilt or Innoncence, nor did
he go into the merits of the case it
self, contenting himself with the
declaration that, regardless of Prank's
Innocence or guilt, he was entitled to
a fair and impartial trial and failed
to get It.
Public Mind Was Influenced.
“If the trial were conducted with
out vindictiveness and prejudice and
the testimony wsre sufficient to con
vict, then the verdict was just,” he
said. "But if, on the other hand
there were prejudice and a clamor
for vengeance, then the trial was no
lair and impartial.
“No one can deny that the public
mind was inflamed at the perpetra
tion of the crime, and justly so, anu
»hat prejudice ran high. Then, under
these conditions the trial was not
fair and impartial.
"If Leo Frank has had a fair trial
and has been round guilty upon the
most reliable testimony ana there is
no reasonable doubt as to his guilt
he should suffer the penalty of the
law.
“When Prejudice Run* High.”
"But it is a dangerous experiment
to convict any man of a crime at a
time when the public mind is unduly
excited and when prejudice is at Its
height. Far better wait until sober
judgment can prevail and better by
far to let a dozen guilty men go un-
punished than to take the life of
one innocent man.
“When the State hangs a man in
nocent of a crime it is guilty of Judi
cial murder. No man’s life or liberty
are safe when either can be taker. |
away merely upon circumstantial
evidence or because public sentiment
demands vengeance. Jesus Christ
was crucified under Just such con-
dltidns ”
