Life Plea Goes to State’s Su
preme Tribunal After Stir
ring Arguments.
A third time w’ithin less than four
months the fate of Leo M. Frank
hangs in the balance. Arguments in
the appeal for a new’ trial were con
cluded Tuesday before the Supreme
Court by an eloquent and scathing ad
dress by Luther Z. Rosser, chief of
counsel for the convicted inan. When
adjournment w-as taken at 1 o’clock
by Justices Atkinson, Evans and Hill
the case was in their hands for con
sideration.
Frank and his friends first awaited
the outcome of the charges of murder
against him on August 25 after Judge
Roan had charged the twelve jurors
in the case.
A decision was longer in coming
after the arguments for a new trial
had been presented before Judge Roan
in the week between October 22 and
29. His unfavorable ruling Octobei
31 put the case up to the Supreme
Court.
Virtually Last Stand,
The fight which was concluded
Tuesday Is regarded as virtually the
last stand of the defense, as the seal
of the Supreme Court’s unanimous
approval on the verdict of the jury
and the subsequent decision of Judge
Roan will make it most difficult to ob
tain anything beyond a temporary
respite from the Federal courts or the
Governor of the State.
Tuesday was occupied in the con
clusion of Solicitor Dorsey’s argu
ment and by arguments by Attorney
Rosser and Attorney General Felder.
Rosser attacked savagely the attitude
of the Attorney General and the So
licitor in their persistence in the ad
missibility of all the evidence that
went before the jury that convicted
Frank and in their contention that
nothing improper was done by the
State in obtaining evidence.
Frank’s lawyers charged that the
entire bulk of the testimony bearing
on Frank’s alleged immorality and
perversion w’as introduced for the sole
purpose of obtaining Frank’s convic
tion on the charge of murder and not
because it had any actual relevancy
to the crime of which Frank w’as ac
cused.
“That jury may have thought they
were writing ‘guilty of murder,’ your
honors,’’ he said, “but what they wrote
in reality was ‘guilty of perversion,
guilty of immorality’, guilty of the
thousand and one suspicions that the
Solicitor directed against the defend
ant.’
“As soon as all that filth was al
lowed to come from the lying lips of
Conley and Dalton, the Jury, of course,
said right away that if he was guilty
of these terrible things, he must be
guilty of murder, and so they rendered
their verdict."
Attacks Felder’s Argument.
Attacking Attorney General Fel
ders support of the Solicitor's argu
ment that Mrs. Frank’s failure to
visit her husband at the jail was an
indication of her consciousness of his
guilt, Rosser said:
“The Attorney General ventures the
assertion that this was entirely prop
er and legal argument. I suspect that
no Attorney General ever made such
a statement before in the court of
last resort.
“Let us see if it is proper. The
Solicitor by his argument virtually
makes the wife take the stand and
testify as to her consciousness of her
husband’s guilt or innocence. Now,
we are proscribed by the law from
placing her on the stand. If w e could
place her on the stand, she would not
be permitted to tell whether she re
garded her husband as e’uilty or in
nocent; that would be a mere con
clusion.
“Yet the Solicitor by his argument
virtually places her on the stand and
makes her say; I have a conscious
ness that my husband is euilty of the
murder of Mary Phagan.’

State comes here and say’s that it is

Platonic Marriage
Agreement Fails;
Divorce Is Sought

platonic basis, J. W, Dunford Tues
day filed a second petition for di
vorce In the Superior Court against

The petition states that Dunford
tiled suit several years ago, but that

Society Girl Works
Day as Hotel Maid
For Stage Training
Pretty Marie Freeman, an amateur
actress of no mean ability, has solved
the problem of how to act.
Miss Freeman, who lives at No. 148
West Tenth street, will play the part
of the maid in the S. V. D. society
vaudeville entertainment for the
benefit of the Home for the Blind at
the Atlanta Theater Wednesday
night.
The problem then with Miss Free
man was “how to act like a maid.”
The answer was easy:
“Why, I will just go and be one
a while,” she said, and she did.
Tuesday morning Manager FrA,
Harrell, of the Hotel Winecoff, r>
ceived the surprise of his life. It
was in the form of a telephone in
quiry from Miss Freeman to know if
he desired the services of a maid for
a day.
When the object of this Inquiry
was explained to him, how’ever, Mr.
Harrell was delighted to give his
assent.
Immediately Miss Freeman donned
the costume which she will use in the
play Wednesday night and repaired to
the Winecoff, where throughout the
greater part of the day she pursued
the duties of a regular maid.
Hearst Papers Exposing Condi
tions Barred at Federal Prison.
New Horrors Bared.
William H. Moyer, warden of the
Atlanta Federal Penitentiary, has
barred from that institution all news
papers containing articles written by
Julian Hawthorne, who begins the
story of his life in the local peniten
tiary in next Sunday’s American, ac
cording to a story told The Georgian
and United States District Attorney
Hooper Alexander Tuesday morning
by John C. Roberts, who was released
from the prison Monday afternoon,
pardoned after serving five years.
“The order was issued some time
yesterday,” said Roberts. "I learned
of it through one of the convicts who
works In the office. He came to me
and asked me if I wouldn’t try’ to get
someone to make the warden let the
papers come in, because every man of
the 900 confined there wants to read
0 f^tfaw t h c rne has written. And
Warden Moyer is afraid to let them
do it. because he knows ns w r ell as
they do that Hawthorne will w ? rite
the truth, and that the truth would
not be very flattering to him.”
Trying to Bar Hearst Fapers.
Roberts declared also that it Is well
understood among the prisoners that
Warden Moyer Is seeking to bar all
Hearst papers from the prison be
cause of the stand they have taken in
the fight for reform and for an in
vestigation of the prison.
“He did bar The Georgian and The
Sunday American once," said Rob
erts, “but the superintendent of pris
ons came down the same day and
made him rescind the order. He told
the warden that he must not attempt
to bar any papers from the prison.
We have noticed, however, that copies
of The Georgian are awfully hard to
get, and especially’ when they con
tain a story of the ill treatment the
men are forced to undergo.”
Roberta spent more than an hour
in the office of the United States Dis
trict Attorney with Mr. Alexander
Tuesday morning, and made formal
complaint against Warden Moyer’s
conduct of the prison. He told sto
ries of the hardships the men are
forced to undergo, and charged that
Warden Moyer each evening sells to
the surrounding neighborhood bread
baked in the prison bakesliope by the
prisoners, underselling the union
bakeshops and bread dealers of At
lanta and disposing of extra large
loaves for 4 cents each.
Lye in His Milk.
Roberts also told Mr. Alexander of
finding concentrated lye In the milk
that was served to him in his cell,
and of another man who drank a cup
of coffee that contained the lye and
had to be operated upon, narrowly es
caping death. He told of a man
named Kennedy, who has fits and of
whom Julian Hawthorne has told,
being put in the “hole” and shackled
to the wall, the guards not even
taking him down when a fit came
upon him.
“Kennedy has been in the hole off
and on for more than three w’eeks,”
said Roberts. “He told me they
chained him up like a wild beast, and
he w’as forced to writhe In the ago
nies of his fits while shackled to the
walls. Kennedy is the man who was
beaten over the head by guards until
the doctors told them to quit, and
after the heating his fits grew worse.

in my milk on September 7. 1912, to

HOT TILT
Bitter Personal Attacks Viewed by
Politicians as Indications of
Mayoralty Fight.
Ritter personal attacks on each
other over policies of municipal ad
ministration were made by Alderman
John S. Candler and Mayor Wood
ward Tuesday which are interpreted
by many as probable issues of the
coming mayoralty election.
The fact that political experts pick
these tw’o to he the final contenders
for the office of Mayor of Atlanta
next year Intensifies the color of
their lucid diction and sharp re
joinders. Of their numerous and
feeling “respects’’ the exchanges on
Tuesday carry the weightiest sig
nificance.
It is unusual that such an ordinary
procedure should have suddenly de
veloped such a tempest. A delegation
of women and men called on Mayor
Woodward Monday and urged an ap
propriation of $500 lo open the doors
of the Child's Welfare Exhibit this
week without admission.
Ashley Introduces Ordinance.
At Mayor Woodward’s request
Councilman Claude L. Ashley intro
duced a resolution providing for the
money at the meeting of General
Council and it passed the lower
branch. When it reached the Alder-
manic Board, Aldermen F. J. Sprat-
ling and J. W. Maddox objected to It.
While they were arguing Alderman
Candler called on City Attorney James
L. Mayson for a ruling as to whether
the appropriation could he made le
gally.
When he said it could not Mayor
Pro Tern Warren ruled the motion to
pass the appropriation out of order,
and no vote was taken.
Reports were circulated that the
action of the Aidermanic Roard was a
personal thrust at Mayor Woodward.
Anyway, Mayor Woodward made it
personal. He said:
“If Alderman Handler had been so
particular about conforming to the
law' when, as Acting Mayor last year,
he approved the crematory contract
for $376,000 and the fire alarm con
tract for $106,000, he would have
saved the city thousands of dollars.
“The Supreme Court knocked the
spots off the crematory contract and
it would do the same to the fire alarm
contract if it should ever have occa
sion to pass on It.
“In view of this, he and Attorney
Mayson are a fine pair to stop an
appropriation of $500 for the children
and mothers of Atlanta, aren’t they?
Scores Spratling, Too.
"As for Alderman Spratling, he’s
another fine specimen. The public
will remember that he Is the Aider-
man who borrowed hundreds of dol
lars from near-beer dealers and
brewers’ agents when he was slated
to be chairman of the Police Com
mittee under Mayor Winn. The Po
lice Committee controls the beer sa
loons of the city and the beer people
were glad to lend him the money, of
course.
“This thing is a sample of w hat the
people may expect from that bunch.”
If Mayor Woodward was displeased
Alderman Candler was more so.
"Mayor Woodward’s statement
speaks for itself In more ways than
one. He is always ready to violate
the law when It suits his purpose.
“The Child’s Welfare Exhibit is a
fine thing Ho are the churches of
Atlanta and the private hospitals fine
things, but we can’t legally appro
priate money to them
He's Ready to Compare Records.
"We were about to establish a prec
edent yesterday that might have
caused much trouble In the future. I
would have liked to have helped the
Child’s Welfare Exhibit, but I had to
he opposed to establishing a prece
dent for appropriating money illegal
ly, no matter how good the cause.
“As to former conduct. I’ll compare
records with Jim Woodward any
time.
“If there has ever been an issue
w’hen he did not stand for the worst
interests of this city I don’t know
when It wag"

That Recorder Broyles Is working

dressed, and, leaving his clothing in
the building, proceeded to his home
at No 151 Capitol avenue, clad only
in a blanket
Letters found afterward in the
clothing identified its owner and Dur
den was arrested Before Recorder
Broyles he pleaded Intoxication and
declared that he had purchased th®
liquor in a locker club of which he
was not a memLyr.
“They must have served some aw*-
ful stuff up there.” said the Recorder,
"to have had such an effect on you.
These miserable locker clubs that dish
out poison to young men should b*
severely deal* with.”
W. M. Slaton. Superintendent of
Schools, appeared in court to make *
plea of clemency for Durden. On th!.*
plea, the student was fined only $15.7^
