Frank guilty of the murder of Mary Phagan, the little factory girl, for which crime the young factory su perintendent now is under sentence of death, was expected to open before Judge Ben H.

The motion is based on the claim that Frank’s constitutional rights were violated when the verdict was returned during his absence from the Court room. Judge L. S.

Referring to public opinion in connec tion with the case, Mr. Dorsey said that at no time was there any well grounded basis on reason for the suspicion that niott violence would be done the defend ant or his counsel had they been pres ent.

Have men not fought ever since the world began? Is there anything new in using force? The new things in the world are the things that are divorced from force. The things show the moral compul sions of the human conscience, those are the things by which we have been building up civilization, not by force, and the lasting impression that those boys are to leave will be that they ex ercised self-control. “You must bear in mind thp.t you are the champions of what is right and fair all around, no matter where you are, and that it is for what is right and fair for public welfare that you are ready to fight and not merely on the drop of a hot or upon some slight punc tilio." , The President praised Admiral Fletcher, saying he had been on duty longer at Vera Cruz than the other commanders and that he had the qualities of a statesman.
