There was a sort of lull before a tempest of effort in the Oglethorpe campaign Monday, and at the noon day luncheon the reports of all the committees but four fell below the Jt.OOO mark for the first time in the campaign, $3,005 being reported. “This is nothing to grieve about,” Ivan K. Allen, chairman, asserted. "Only half a day's work to-day, you see, and you’ll find the rest of the day will show up in grand style :r. the subscriptions reported Tuesday. Besides, we’ve got a new plan.” Scramble for Prospects. This was the plan. The names uf a couple of hundred big firms and wealthy individuals were lead out from cards, and as each name was called one or more of the 50 workers present got up and said: I'll take it.” It was almost like an auction. Some of the firms and some of the men were contested for as> eagerly as if the workers expected to land something big on their own hook. "Just hear ’em bidding.” whispered one, as some popular firm was an nounced. And that was what i sound ed like. "These people haven’t subscribes yet,” Mr. Allen announced. "Most of idem haven't been approached. Here's where we clean up." And that was the general impres sion. How Committees Resorted. Central Committee: George R. Rus- Bcy $20. 11. M.

You may say someone told him. but who told him? Meeting Prearranged. He save. "His meeting with Mary Phagan on Saturday was alj prearranged by bi n. Mary did not know that signs had been posted telling the employee* to draw their pay on Friday nigh". Frank knew that she would come al the usual time—noon Saturday. "When Helen Ferguson, a friend of Mary's, went to get Mary's pay Fri day night. Frank would not let Iter have it. He knew if he did Mary would not be at the factory on the morrow. Every step leading up to the tragedy was planned. Even Jim Con ley was asked bv Frank to com? around on Saturday so as to be on watch while the Phagan girl was th, re. "The State roved without ques tion that Frank was of bad charac ter. We established it b ,p the best witnesses obtains*ble — by girls, young girls, who had worked at the facto v and who at the tin e of their testifying had been removed from the influenc. s I of ‘he factory. ‘‘The defense sought to establish Frank's good character. They did it by friends of the defendant who knew nothing about the factory or Frank’s conduct there. But it was at the factory that the murder was com mitted. and it was there that his im moralities took place.” Advances Time Argument. Dorsey called the attention of the court to the testimony of a conductor who said that the car on which Mary Phagan rode reached the city at 12:03. a fact which tAe Solicitor said ef fectively set at rest all the quibble over the time element. Mary could have entered the factory and gone to the metal room with Frank before Monteen Stover entered, lie declared. Dorsey and Attorney Arnold were the only speakers of the forenoon. Attorney Arnold spoke two hours and 40 minutes, leaving but an hour and twenty minutes under the four- hour argument granted each side by the court. The Solicitor said that Attorney General Felder would oc cupy part of the time for the State. Arnold, in closing his address, charged that Frank was convicted solely on insinuation, innuendo and trumped-up charges, and that the So licitor had gone outside his functions as a prosecuting officer in order to hang the defendant. Says Dorsey Twisted Facts. "Your honors would not believe thit such inconsequential and irrelevant evidence could be used to damn a de fendant, but here it is, right here in the record!” he exclaimed. "It is al most unbelievable that su<h met hols could be used in convicting a man, and that they could be successful in a Georgia court of justice.” Arnold accused Solicitor Dorsey of ; laying hold of every insignificant clr- | cumstance and twisting it into .1 ; most suspicious Incident in order to | realize his ambition for Frank’s con- I viction. lie cited the letter Frank wrote to his uncle. M, Frank, as an example of the manner in which Dorsey had distorted every particle of evidence Into a mountain of suspicion. The letter. Arnold said, was *he most natural message in the world, and yet the Solicitor had made it out . as a subterfuge and as a most positive Indication of Frank’s guilt. Calls Dorsey Unfair. Dorsey Improperly and unfairly had argued that Frank’s wife had a von- 1 sciousness of his guilt, Arnold de- | dared, because she had not visit 'd i him at the Jail for several days after | his arrest. He hud branded Frank as a red- handed murderer merely because Frank had been in the factory at the time. The Solicitor had declared the de fendant guilty, first because he was nervous, and later because he was calm and collected. “lie was guilty because he had hired counsel.” said Arnold. "He was guilty because he had told Newt Lee he-could have a holiday Saturday afternoon, the day Mary Phagan wa* murdered lie was guilty because big John Gantt scared him Saturday night. “Why, your honor they haven’t a shadow of a case against Frank, ex cept on thf testimony of the lying Jim Conley. "It Is built upon just such flimsy j circumstances as I have cited. It is, evidence which a Judge should not I even submit it to a jury. The early part of Arnold's address to the court was given over to a de scription of the National pencil fac tory. where Mary Phagan was mur dered, and to a review of the entire case, which he characterized one of the deepest murder mysteries that ever had perplexed a community. His first direct argument had ref erence to the time element which played a large part in the testimony and arguments throughout Frank's trial and later In the arguments in behalf of a new trial before Judge Roan. He contended that the testimony of the State’s own witnesses made it palpably impossible that Mary Pha gan could have been attacked or murdered at the time the State con tended the crime was done. George Epps, a State’s witness, testified that he rode to town with Mary Phagan the day she was slain and that she arrived at Forsyth and Marietta streets at 12:07 o’clock. Allowing four minutes to walk to the pencil fac tory, Arnold argued that the fac tory girl could not have reached there before 12:11 o’clock. But the State, he said, maintained that the Phagan girl had arrived there be fore 12:05 o’clock, or actually before the car on which she rode arrived in the city. Dorsey had to do this, ac cording to the attorney, in order to make it fit in with his theory that Monleen Stover, who entered the fac tory at 12:05. was unable to find Frank in his office because it was at this moment that the young superin tendent was in the rear of the fac tory in the act of strangling the Pha gan girl to death. Gets More Time. Arnold in-asking for an extension of time before lie began his argu ment. represented that the trial had been so long and the testimony so voluminous that it could not be prop erly discussed in the usual two hours allotted to each side. He asked for an extension of at least three hours Presiding Justice Beverly D. Evans announced that each side would be given an additional two hours, which will complete the case Tuesday after noon. Always the exemplification of sar torial perfection, Mr. Arnold was dressed in a light brown striped suit that had Hie appearance of being fresh from hi® tailor. A pair of thick- soled tan shoes, a neglige shirt with blue stripes and a carefully tied brown cravat completed his visible attire. A number of Frank’s friends list ened Interestedly to the arguments of the opposing attorneys. Detect ive** John N. Starnes and Patrick Campbell, who were detailed to aid tlie Solicitor in the inveatigation of the mystery, arrived soon ajter the hearing began. The arguments were heard by Su preme Court Justices Beverly D. Evans. S. C, Atkinson and H. Warner Hill. II was expected Monday when the hearing began that the arguments would be practically in the same or der as before Judge Roan in the hearing for a new trial. Attorney Ar nold making the opening argument in behalf of a new trial and being followed by Attorney General Felder and Solicitor Dorsey, represent ir>g the State, and finally by Attorney Rosser, who will close for the de fense.

Tlie court dismissed an appeal of H. C. H. Ilerold. internal revenue collector of Newark. N. J., from a decision of a lower court holding in favor of the Mu tual Benefit Life Insurance Company of Newark.
