ROBBERS LIKE
HARDWARE STORES

Washington, Nov. 25.-Sherif NC
Cartv was summoned to Riverside to
look into the robbery Of the two hard
ware stores at that place. Before leav-
ing here the sheriff sent to Des Moines
for a pair of bloodhounds.
Robbers seem to have a particular
liking for hardware stores, as the only
places entered were houses handling
that class Of goods. The sum Of $50 was
taken from the Lear & Jordan store
and three or four dollars from the
Knittle g. Heitzman place Of business.
Entrance to the stores was gained by
breaking open the doors. The burglar
les were committed some time during
the night and the men made their
getaway undiscovered. The fact of the
thefts was not made known until the
owners Of the stores opened them for
business.

Both Prosecution and

Statements gathered Thursday
morning from attorneys interested IN
each side Of the case in the approach
ing trial of Leo NJ. Frank for the
strangling Of Mary Phagan indicate
that in one respect, at least, It viii
be one Of the most remarkable cases
ever brought before a Fulton County
court
Its almost unprecedented feature
viii consist in the absolute confidence
in the fnvulnerability of their evil
dence that is entertained both by the
prosecution and the defense.
It is not unusual for both sides
to anticipate victory but it is rare
for both to go into a trial. as they
win June 80, upheld by feeling of
unshakable certainty that the evil
dence they viii submit viii be unas-
sailable and that the case of the op-
posite side must. of necessity, be
weak and hopelessly circumstantial.
Prosecuting officials and detectives
nave said repeatedly there is not a
weak link In their whole chain of
evidence. They admit 1t is circum-
stantial from beginning to end. but
assert that the chain is so strong that

Another witness, a man in the
house at the time, told a Georgian
reporter that he was at the house the
night Of April rs, and that he is posi-
tive that Frank did not call up. Mrs.
Formby said in her affidavit that they
we're playing bridge when the tele-
phone rang. This witness declared
they did not play bridge during the
whole evening, and that the telephone
did not ring He said that he is GER
