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 ” Man With Hiccough Attack Slowly Dying MPJCHAN1CSVILLE. N. .7.. Sept 16.— M S.
