A Prize Baby.
In other letters from Mr. Black
wood we glean the following: "I am
going to Rend you a picture of my
baby that took the prize at the baby
show. I told the Judges her name
was Ruth Manalln Blackwood. Hhe
has token several bottles of your
remedy, Manalln, and Is the Anest
baby In this country. I believe your
medicine saved the life of my little
two-year-old hoy. The doctor* said
he had a bad stomach, but did not
help him. We gave him Manalln
and It cured him. He also took Pe
runa at the same time. Is now sound
arid well. He Is (he picture of health
and as Anc a looking boy as there Is
la this country.”

have the right man you do not pny
>ilin enough; If you have not the right
niun you pay him too much."
Terror to Wrongdoers.
A statement that struck terror to
the hearts of violators of the law wus
made when Judge Prince said;
"An Illegal liquor seller Is worse
than an assassin," and after flaying
unlawful liquor traffic he panned on
to another evlLnnd nald:
”If mtaeegenPHon in being practiced,
If I get a chance to pasa sentence upon
such, 1 will convince the man that it
will bo far cheaper to have a decent
wife and rear an honorable family."
Judge Prince Is positive In all of hla
statements, ami he believes In a prop
er observance of the Hahbath day. In
concluding his charge he nald:
‘Hod knew what He was doing when
He made the Hahbath He didn’t make
any mistake. Violation of the Hub
bath Is demoralizing society,”

NO NEW TRIAL
EOR LED FRANK
Motion Denied By Georgia
Supreme Court. Condemned
Man Has Only One Chance
Left.
Altants, Or.—ln a decision handed
down Wednesday afternoon the supremo
court of Georgia affirmed the decision
»>f Judge Benjamin H. Hill In denying
the extraordinary motion of Leo M.
Frank fog* a new trial on the grounds of
newly discovered evidence.
The decision of the state’s highest tri
bunal, denying Frank a new trial, leaves
the man convicted of the murder of
Mary I'hagun In the basement of the
National Pencil Factory on April 24th,
I*l3, with only one more chance In
the courts.
The motion to set aside the verdict on
the ground that Frank was not In the
court room when the verdict was ren.
dts-pd, which was denied by Judge Hill,
hss been appealed lo the supreme court.
*nd will be argued the latter part of
this month A decision will follow some
weeks later. Should the state supreme
court refuse the motion to set aside the
verdict Franks lawyers can appeal to
the T'nlted States supreme court. It Is
said, us a constitutional point is In
volved.
Court's Decision.
In affirming the lower court's decis
ion the supreme court held ss follows:
"1. After n person accused of crime
has been convicted und a new trial has
been dented and the Judgment has been
affirmed by this court, an extraordinary
motion for s new trial, on the grounds
of newly discovered evidence Is address
ed to the sound discretion of tbs trial
Judge (there being such general rules,
ss to evidence of psrtlculsr crime end
as to diligence, etc.) and the refusal to
grant a new trial, on such a motion,
will not be reverted, unless such discre
tion Is abused.
"S. In view of the nature of the al
leged newly discovered evidence, on the
basis of which sn extraordinary mo
tion for a new trial was made In the
present case, and of the strong counter
showing mad* by the state In regard to
It, there was no abuse of discretion on
th# pert of the trial Judge In refusing
to grant a new trial, or was there error
I noverrullng th# motion on any of the
grounds set out therein.”
After th* foregoing headnotee. the su
preme court briefly recite* the history
of the case up to and Including the fil
ing of the extraordinary motion for *
n*w trial. It mention* th* fact that In
the first trial Frank was convicted; that
appeal was taken to the supreme court,
that the supreme court afArmed th*
Judgment of the lower court; and an
application was then made by tbs de
fense for a re-hearing before the su
preme court, which was denied, and
that then the extraordinary motion for
a new trial was mad*
Discretion Not Abused.
Th* supreme court holds that “when
sn extraordinary motion for a new trial
la mad*, tvised on the ground of newly
dierovered evidence. It slioulu be made
to appear that such evidence Is so ma
terial that tt would probably produce a
different verdict.” Continuing the deci
sion says "On the bearing of such a
motion, tb* court may hear affidavits,
making a counter-showing on behalf of
th* state, so a* to go to the bottom of
the showing to discover. If posslh’e,
how much of real merit there Is in the
alleged new evidence ”
Finally, th* court holds a* follows:
• tV* dram It unnecessary lo lake up
each of the grounds of the motion and
discuss them separately In the light of
the evidence offered In support of them,
end of the counter showing made by the
slate It Is enough to soy that, offer
e consideration of them. It cannot be
held that th* discretion of the presiding
Judge In refusing to tfnnt the extra
ordinary motion was abused, or that a
csss Is made requiring a reversal ”
Th* decision then affirms the Judg
ment of Judge Hill in overruling the ex
traordinary motion. All six at th*
Judge* concur in this decision.
The extraordinary motion for a new
trial, shed by Franks attorneys, al
leged numerous grounds. principal of
which was th* contention that Hr. H. F.
Harris, state medical expert, had de
clared that hair found on th* turning
lathe In the pencil factory dlffiWed from
the lintr taken front Mary Phagsn after
her death; an affidavit by Rev J. H
Ragsdale, who alleged that he overheard
a negro confess to the murder of Mary
t'hagan. which was later repudiated by
Mr Ragsdale, the alleged confession ob
tained from James Conley In th# fSi’ton
coumy Jell by a nagress named Annl*
Maud Carter and numerous affidavits.
Is wbteh states witnesses were purport
ed to repudiate evidence given by them
at Frank's original trial, most of which
affidavit* were Ister recanted by their
maker*.

BUSINESS EFFICIENCY IN
METHODS OF FARMING
Wichita, Kas.—A plea for applica

to farming was made before the In

here today by Thomas Cooper, direc
tor of the South Dakota experiment
station.
'The difference between the success
ful and unsuccessful farm is largely a
question of applied efficiency in pro
duction and organization of the farm
business,” he said.
Estimates indicate that the average
farmer In this country receives 45 to
65 cents from aach dollar expended by
the consumer, while farmers In most
European countries receive 60 to 65
cents."
