priests thrown Into Jail and threat
ened to execute them if they did not
pay $5,000 ransom. They did not
have this sum, but compromised by
giving him all they had.

have been mistreated by the rebel
soldiers. Many of them were in
rags when they crossed the interna
tional bridge.
In Charge of Train.
Among the refugees who arrived
at Juarez is Frederico Moye, the
neutral Governor of Chihuahua. He
was in charge of the refugee train.
Among those executed at Chihua
hua was Jesus Molinar, a relative of
General Luis Terrazas, the multi
millionaire land baron of Chihuahua
luan Arellano and his 15-year-old
son were also shot to death, the refu
gees eay.
They declare Arello and his little
son stood shoulder to shoulder, the
boy with his eyes turned heavenward
and his father’s resting on him when
they were shot down.
“Viva Mexico!”
Both cried:
'Viva Mexico!” as the soldiers
ilrew their guns to shoot.
Pancho Francisco Molinar, broth
er-in-law of General Terranzas, has
been thrown into jail by General Vil
la and is being held for ransom and
will be put to death if the money is
not paid.

Pet of Children.
The dog was a shaggy brown mon
grel that had been made a great pet
by the four Parker children. It first
developed symptoms of rabies Friday
afternoon. A Tech High School stu
dent was passing the house when the
dog suddenly ran out of the yard
snapping and snarling and bit the
young man.
The student kicked the dog away
and walked on. In the evening Glenn
Parker, aged 15 years, and Tom
Rutherford, 12, who is rooming at the
Parker home with his sister. Miss
Ethel Rutherford, went to Sharp’s
Drug Store at Marietta and Walton
streets. The dog followed them and
on the way began to run at pedes
trians, snapping and growling at j
them.
When the animal bit a man and a
boy who were walking together, young I
Parker and Rutherford became !
alarmed and took the dog back home i
with them and locked him in the back
yard inclosure. Just as Mr*. Parker
was feeding the chickens Saturday '
morning the dog leaped the barrier |
and made for her.
Barricaded the House.
Terror-stricken, she rushed into vhe
house and, with Miss Rutherford, bar
ricaded the place against the mad- !
dened animal and warned her four j
children not to go out of doors. From .
the windows they could see the dog j
racing among the frightened chick- !
ens, chasing tiiem about the yard and j
biting them ui every opportunity, j
Seizing one of the larger hens, the
dog shook it until It was dead.
The police department was notified
and Call Officer Arnold hastened to
the Parker home on his motorcycle.
He found the house closed and barred.
As he was knocking on the door the
dog, noticing the visitor, ceased his
attack on the poultry and rushed for
Arnold.
Policeman Is Bitten.
Before the policeman could protect
himself, the dog had sunk his fangs
repeatedly in Arnold’s leg. Arnold
finally was able to kick the dog off
so that he could get a shot at him 1
with his revolver. Not until he had
fired five bullets into the animal’s
body did the dog give up.
Inside the house, the women and
the five children listened panic- ;
stricken to the fusilade of shots, and
the neighbors ran to their doors and
windows to see what was happen- j
ing.
The hospital authorities advise the
three unidentified persons who w*ere |
bitten to begin treatment at once in
order to avoid serious consequences.

Sunday to Mark Religious Epoch.
Whole State Stirred—Pastors
Expect Overflow Crowds.
“It will be one of the greatest day*
in the religious history of Atlanta!”
If a "composite” could be obtained
of the score* of optimistic predictions
on “Go-to-Church Day” which poured
into The Georgian office Saturday and
all day Friday, that is about the way
it would read.
One minister had sent out 5,000 in
vitations to hte Go-to-Church serv
ices on Sunday. Several others had
issued 1,000 or more, and all were cer
tain that practically every church in
the city would be filled to capacity
both morning and evening.
Three weeks ago December 14 was
set as Atlanta'* "^o-to-Church Day.”
Since then all of the ministers and *1)
of the ministerial organizations *’ t
havh met h&ve given It their indorse
ment.
“Fighting Strength” To Be Shown.
In consequence a specL cle will be
furnished of the entire ministry of
Atlanta joining in a great movement
to glorify and set forth for the vtew
of the world the maximum "fighting
strength” of the churches here.
"I am expei ting Sunday to be a

Mr McCann was unable to leave
his home on account of worry and
physical exhaustion, but other mem
bers of the family continued to search.

Prosecutor Calls Grounds Sub
mitted by Defense "Hodge
podge” and "Catch All."
That Leo Frank’s lawyers are
engaged in a “post-mortem” at
tempt to obtain a new trial for
their client is the charge repeat
edly made in the brief and ar
gument completed Saturday by
Solicitor General Hugh M. Dor
sey and served upon the attor-
; neys for the defense.
Some of the grounds for a new trial
j advanced by the defense Dorsey
1 characterizes as "hodgepodge and
catch all,” and ridicules the asser
tions that Frank was tried by a mob
rather than by a judge and Jury.
The opposing attorneys will begin
their verbal argument before the Su
preme Court on Monday at 9 o’clock.
The first request to be made of the
court will be for an extension of time.
Two hours customarily is given to
each side, but owing to the import
ance of the case, it is likely that two
days or more will be asked for the
arguments
“Catching at Technicality.”
The Solicitor, in referring to the
defense’s claims that demonstrations
on the part of the crowd were suffi
cient to influence and Intimidate the
jury. Implied that Frank’s lawyers
throughout the trial were laying the
groundwork for a plea on which tr>
ask for a new trial, catching at every
technicality that presented Itself. The
Solicitor said:
"The request of counsel to clear
the courtroom of spectators before
anything was done in the trial, show
ed. in the connections now being con
sidered. that they were anticipating
laying hold of all such little inconse
quentlal occurrences and technicali
ties that could be discovered.
"They can not complain, beoauaa
they failel to ask any affirmative re
lief. so far as this record shows. They
say in this ground that they called
attention of the court for the pur
pose of ‘obtaining some action.’ In
the next paragraph they show that
they got from the court some ac
tion. and the epurt never had any in
timation that tihe action he gave waa
not commensurate with the require
ments of the situation.
Too Late With Complaint.
' This is simply another ‘post-mor
tem attempt to get another trial,’ to
use an expression of Judge Russell.”
Continuing, Solicitor Dorsey ar
gued: #
"We submit that there wa* nothing
of sufficient importance or conse
quence requiring the court to take
any radical steps, and that the fail
ure of the defendant’s attorneys at
the time to request, or suggest, or
intimate to the court that something
or other should be done estops them
now from complaining.”
The Solicitor charged that Frank’s
lawyers had magnified these occur
rences far beyond their real impor
tance and argued that the fact that
Judge Roan overruled the motion for
a new trial showed conclusively from
a legal standpoint that he did not at
tach any importance to the demon
strations. Stress was laid on the af
fidavit* of the Jurors that they did
not hear the demonstrations refer***
to by the defense.
Upholds Conley Evidence.
Several pages of the brief are
over to a contention on the adml**^
bility of Jim Conlev’s testimony cm
the alleged perversion of Frank, Tb*
Solicitor remained firm in his staoo
that no error was committed tn *1
lowing this testimony in the record.
He insisted r hat the court* of Amer
ica are permitting much greater lat
itude in evidence of this sort thar
ever before, widening and extending
the rule in this respect, appreciating
that it is neccssarv in order V*
