Admission Of Court in Denying
New Trial That He Was Not
Convinced Either of Guilt or
Innocence Creates Sensation.
OIdPoIice Reporter Finds Lawyers
Who BeIieveAdmission Of Doubt
Was Attempt to Right judicial
Wrong by Only Possible Means.
By an Old Police Reporter.

The speech of Judge l.. 5. Hoan
delivered when he refused to grant
new trial to Leo NJ. Frank has
thrown the famous case wide open"
so to speak.
Incidentally it has served to deep
en- the mystery, which SO many be-
liayed was solved in August when
the jury returned a verdict against
Frank.
g1odly number of those who did
not make up their minds as to the
guilt or innocence of Frank until the
jury returned its verdict have had
,their minds unmade and are more
lettled than ever.
When the jury in August returned
q verdict Of guilty" against Leo
Frank 7 purpose'y refrained from
discussing that matter, either fav-
orably or unfavorably, for l consid-
cred that the matter then had ceased
to be a legitimate subject of news
paper comment, and l governed my
self accordingly.
In one Of the articles l wrote, as
the Frank case drew very near to its
close, there appeared this sentenced:
Similar View Held
Before Trial Ended.
After all has been said and
done, and after listening as close
ly and as intelligentIy as knew
how, to all the evidence and all
the arguments, ! still am unable
to say TO myself whether think
Frank innocent or guilty"
That was more or less interesting
70 number Of people. perhaps, but
Y PRONUNCIATION of remarkable i'm
'brtance, considering its source, and
so forth, it was not calculated to set
the woods a-fire-and it didn't!
Now, however, that Judge Roam, in
denying Leo Frank a new trial, has
seen fit to use PRACTICALLY THE
VERY SAME WORDS that I used in
my article, those words DO constitute
PRONUNCIATION Of the very highest
and most reaching significance
ana Importance and are the subject
Oh perfectly legitimate and direct
comment.
evidently enough, Judge Roam has
'een sadly and depressingly perplex-
"a oy the Frank trial. He is an up
I's"l jldge-there is in my mind not
,"s slightest doubt Of that-and he
mas sought to do and to say the
honest thing at every stage of the
trial.

MASTADON FOUND
IN FARMINGTON CT.
Pronounced Genuine by President Lu-
Their of Trinity and Prof. Schu-
ebert of Yale.

HARTFORD, Conn. Sept. S.-Work-
men employed on the Pennington es-
tate Of 4. 4. Pope in digging a trench
for a new water system have found,
four feet below the surface, the skel-
eton Of what is belived to have been
mastadon that evidently belonged to
the ages in the dim past. This skel-
eton is in standing posture and the
bones are well preserved. Measure
ments taken from the shoulder TO its
tail are 10 feet The ribs are in size
equal to the bones of a man S leg. Word
was sent to Yale university of the dis
covery and scientific men were sent to
Pennington to examine this prehis
toric skeleton and to learn, if possible,
to what age it belonged.
The soil in which the skeleton lies is
hardpan, a mixture of clay and gravel,
and the workmen are now using a trow-
el instead of a shovel in removing the
dirt that surrounds its bones. 1t is
/ expected that the skeleton VIII be re-
moved by today or tomorrow so that ii
can be photographed. 1t is stated that
| the mastadon has value of between
$4,000 and $4,000, if it proves to be
| the only perfect one ever found.
Allen B. Cook, general overseer on
the Pope estate, who has charge of re
moving the skeleton, does not permit
visitors on the premises on account Of
interfering with the workmen. The
finding Of the skeleton was over week
ago, but it has been kept quiet in or
der not to attract crowds. 1t has not
yet been fully decided what disposition
will be made Of this prehistoric skele-
ton.
The remains of the huge animal have
been examined by Prof. Charles Schuc-
hert, professor of paleontology in the
Sheffield scientific school of Yale uni
versity and by President Luther of
Trinity college. President Luther Wis
tied the Pope estate Thursday and
spent some time in examining the re-
mains Of the antediluvian monster.
Trinity college possesses in Boardman
hall a fine specimen of the mastadon.

WILD ELEPHANTS
LIVED IN VERMONT
Bones of Prehistoric Animals Found in
Muck Beds in Brattleboro and
Mount Holly.

The skeleton of mastadon is now
being dug up on a farm in Pennington,
Conn. The Hartford Courant says that
never before have bones of one of
these prehistoric animals been found
east Of the Hudson river.
In this connection it is of interest to
recall that the tusk of a fossil elephant
was found about 30 years ago i'm a
much bed, about five feet below the
surface, on the farm of d. ). Pratt in
Brattlcburo. One tusk which was taken
out in a good state of preservation was
.fs inches Pong. Is inches in circumfer-
euce at one end and II inches in cir
cumfereuce at the smaller end. Bones
Of one of these elephants were un-
carthcd in Mount Holly in lS4S by
workmeu engaged in building the rail
road from Bellows Falls to Rutlaud<
The Mount Holly skeleton was also in
a muck bed, u feet below the surface,
and at AN elevation of ILLS feet above
the sea. The workmen carried away
many of the bones, but the most perfect
tusk was secured by Prof Zadock
Thompson and is now i'm the collection
of curious specimens in the state house
in Montpelier. This tusk is 50 inches
long and four inches i'm diameter Prof.
Agassiz of Harvard secured molar
tooth Of the Mount Holly skeleton.
This tooth weighed eight pounds and
