Ivan E. 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 in the subscriptions reported Tuesday. Besides, we’ve got a new plan.” Scramble for Prospects. This was the plan. The names of a couple of hundred big firms and wealthy individuals were read 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 Uiu 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 subscribed vet,” Mr. Allen announced. “Most of them haven’t been approached. Here’s where we clean up.” And that was the general impres sion.

The court dismissed an. appeal of H. C. II. Herold, 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. It is expected that the Government will drop this fight and permit the in surance companies to get back the overcharged tax without any further lit igation.

You may say someone told him. but who told him? Meeting Prearranged, He savs. “His meeting with Mary Phagan n Saturday was all prearranged by him. Mary did not know that sens had been posted telling the employees to draw their pay on Friday night. Frank knew that she would come at the usual time noon Saturday. “When Helen Ferguson, ;i friend >f Mary’s, went to get Mary's pay Fri day night, Frank would not let <;*'r have it. He knew if he did Mar- would not be at the factory on h morrow. Every step leading up to th tragedy was planned Even Jim Con ley was asked bv Frank to coin around on Saturday so as to be m watch while the Phagan girl was th. re. “The Stale -roved without ques tion that Frank was of bad charac ter. We established it bv the best witnesses obtainable—by‘girls, young girls who had worked at the facto v and who at the tin e of their testifying had been rmoved from the influc facioi \ “The defense sought t<» establish I I tank’s good charaeter They did it b> friends of the defendant who knew j nothing about the factory or Frank's j conduct there. But it was at the factory that the murder was com mit ted. and it was there that his Im moralities took place." i Advances Time Argument. Dorsey railed the attention of the court to the testimony of a conductor who said that the ear on which Mars Phagan rode reached the city at 12:03, a fact which the Solicitor said ef fectively set at rest all the quibble over the time element. Mary could have entered the factnr.\ and gone to the metal room with Frank before Monteen Stover entered, ho declared. Dorsey and Attorney Arnold were the only speakers of the forenoon, j Attorney Arnold spoke two hours and 40 minutes, leaving but an hour i and twenty minutes under the four- hour argument granted ea< h 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 noi believe th\t su»h inconsequential and irrelevant evidence could be used to damn a de fendant, but lure it is, right Ik :n the record!” lie < \i laimed. "It al most unbelievable that such methods could be used in * ortvictJng a man, and that they could be successful in a Georgia court of justice,” Arnold accused Solicitor Dorsey <»f l laying hold of every insignificant cir cumstance and twin ing a into i most suspicious incident in older to rralize his ambition for I uk'a coil- vi« tIon. lie cind the letter Frank wrote to his uncle, M, Frank, as an examp.•’ of the manner in which Dors, \ bad distorted every particle of evidence into a mountain of su'-plelon. The letter, Arnold aid. was the most natural message in the world, and yet the Solicitor had made it • * . ns a subterfuge and as a most positive indication of Frank s guilt. Calls Dorsey Unfair. Dorsey improperly arid unfairly had argued that Frank’s wife had a con sciousness of his- guilt, Arnold de i hired, because she had not visit, d him at the Jail fur several days after hi- arrest. He had branded Frank as a red- handed inur< i‘rrr merely because Frank had been in the factory at the time. The Solicitor had declared the de fendant guilty, first because he wa nervous, and la ft because he was calm and collected "He was guilt.x because he had hired counsel." said Arnold. "Hr was guilty because he had told Newt Lee lie could have a holiday Saturday afternoon. iiie da\ Mary Phagan was murdered. He win guilty because big John Gantt scaled him Saturday night “Why. your honor, they haven’t a shadow of a case against Frank, ex cept on the testimony <<f the lying Jim Conlex “It is built upon juit such flimsy circumstances aa 1 have cited. It is evidence which a Judge should not even submit it to a jury. The early part of Arnold s address tor> the Hi e court was given over to a de- lion of the National pencil fac- whero Mary Phagan was niur- i, and to a review of the entire which he characterized one of deepest murder mysteries that had perplexed a community. < first direct argument had ref- errnce t.. the time element which played ;i large part in the testimony and arguments throughout Frank’s trial uid later in the arguments in behalf of i new trial before Judge Huh n. He contended (hat the testimony of the State's own witnesses made it palpably impossible that Mary Pha gan could have been attacked or murdered hi the time the State con tended the crime was done George Epps, n Siate*? 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 fae- t.<*ry girl could not have reached there before 12:11 o’clock. But the State, he said, maintained that the •Miagan 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, ao- | cording to the attorney, in order to t make it fit in with his theory that j Monteen Stover, who entered the fac tory. at 12:05, was unable to find Frank in his office been use it was at : this moment that the young snperin- ! tundent was in the rear of the fac- ' :or\ in the act* of strangling the Pha- i gan girl to death. Gets More Time. Arnold, in asking for an extension f time before he began his argu- meiii. 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 t>. Frans announced that each side would be River: an additional two hours, which will complete the case Tuesday after noon. Always tii“ exemplification of sar torial perfection, Mr Arnold wa. dressed in a ligVit brown striped suit that had the appearance of being fresh from hi® tailor. A pair of thick- soled tan shoes, a. neglige shirt with blue stripes ajid a carefully lied brown cravat completed his vislbb< attire. A number of Frank’s friends list ened interestedly to thje ^rgumenlK of the opposing attorneys. Detect Ives John N. Starnes and Patriot Campbell, who were detailed to awl the Solicitor in the investigation of the mystery, arrived soon after the hearing began. The arguments were heard by .Su preme Court Justices Beverly D. Evans, S. C. Atkinson and H. Warner Hill. It was expected Monday when the hearing began that fb« 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, representing the State, and finally by Attorney Rosser, who will close for the de fense.
