May Get Life Term.

A life sentence does not seem i'm
probable, since the defense from the
outset has stressed the claim that
Wilburn was under the influence of
Mrs. Katherine King, his victims wife,
when he shot King down in the woods
near his home. This was the keynote
of the argument begun Friday aft
ernoon by John r. Cooper, chief
counsel for Wilburn, and concluded
this morning. Mr.. Cooper spoke until
o'clock Friday, when he was forced
to stop from utter exhaustion. Court
was then adjourned until this morn
ing, when he resumed his speech and
in a short time concluded
The case was given to the jury at
noon to-day, following lengthy
charge by Judge j. b, Park the pre-
siding jurist. The Jury is expected to
return a verdict late In the afternoon.
Womans Trial Monday.
Interest in the Wilburn verdict is
no greater than that in the outcome
of the trial of Mrs. King which be-
gins Monday morning, provided, Of
course, the Wilburn case is disposed
of this afternoon, and there now APP
pears nothing in prospect to prevent
this.
On the eve of her own trial, Mrs.
King, in the jail here, has broken
down, and with tears, made fresh ac-
Cusations against Wilburn, declaring
that he overpowered her by his
stronger will and forced her to do his
bidding. She emphatically denies
that she had any part in a plot to
take her husbands life, and endeav-
ored to save him from Wilburn's ven
geance by trying to persuade her hus-
band to move away from Jones
County.

Thirsting for Blood, Frank
Lawyer Tells Court. 90.

His language mounting in Bit
terness as he progressed, Reuben
r. Arnold took up again Satur-
day afternoon the argument in
behalf of a new trial for Leo M.
Frank. on which he had been en-
gage dsince the middle of the
afternoon Friday at the hearing
in the State Capitol.
His reasons and narration of
the facts of the case repeatedly
were iIlumined b ybEazes of
wrathful denunciation of the
manner in which the case against
Frank had been conducted by
Solicitor General Dorsey, and Of
the "scowling, vicious crodw"
which he represented as crying
like ravening wolves for the life
of the defendant.
"All the Solicitor had to do" he
shouted, was to pour blood down
their throats and they were satisfied"
He charged Dorsey with playing to
the grandstand: with corrupting and
warpIng the evidence so as TO draw
the most ridiculous and fantastic con-
illusions with which to gull the jurors
and with being a party to the gigan-
tic conspiracy to send an innocent
man to the gibbet.
THE jury" he observed, was per-
fectly willing TO swallow anything
the more Improbable and grotesque.

bauble before that scowling. vicious
mob. They were pack Of wolves

Says Dorsey Misrepresented.
The Solicitor, he asserted, had per
mitted himself to state &C facts things
which were not In the record and had
commented on them in his argument.

Did you ever hear Of a case" Ar
mold asked where so many outside
things entered to damn a man? The
Solicitor was willing to use any
means, no matter how unfair, to con-
vict this man. Russia isn't much
worse than this. The Solicitor was
a party to the inquisition which was
forced on Minola Mcknight. Illegal
methods were used to get this hys-
terical negro woman to agree to the
horrible story her husband had fixed
up And this was after the Solicitor
already had one affidavit from her in
which she denied every detail Of that
fabrication of her husbands.
"The Solicitor defantly admitted

bit inclined toward the chances of
the visitors. In fact. it is known thu /
some Of those sportively inclined have
evinced a desire to wager on the
chances of the Orange and Black with
few or no takers.
There are those however, who are
inclined to feel that the home talent
have a chance-yea, more than a bare
! chance, of saving the sanctity of their
hearthstones from the smudge of de-
feat. Stop a minute and listen to
the most rabid of these, and their con-
versation runs something like this:
How They Talk.
well, I don't know so much about
this cut and dried stuff of Virginia
winning There's always chance in
a game of football that something I'M
expected will happen to knock the
dope into a cooked hat, and that
something may favor Virginia, and
then, again, 1t may favor Georgia.
You know this forward pass can
cut lot of funny capers, and the
/ team that starts it doesn't always stop
it, or rather the player of the oppos-
| ing side who may happen to snag it
in midalr. and galIop up the field
for a touchdown. You remember that
| Tech Auburn game at Ponce DeLeon
when Arnold intercepted a pass on his
hve-yard line and sprinted los yards

Then there's a chance that Bob
