Comment on Frank Case

been said touching Leo
Franks nationality, and be-
cause he was a Jew there
was a prejudice existing
against him. | feel sure that
such a statement is utterly
untrue, and many who have
made such a charge know il
to be untrue.
Again, Mr.. Simon Wolf
makes this remarkable state
ment: And in the case of
Frank there can no longer be
any question but that rea-
Sonable doubt was denied
him, and that the spirit that
perYaded the courtroom dur
ing the trial was anything
but orderly or civilized" Upon
what assumption, we would
like to ask. does MIR. Wolf reach
the remarkable conclusion
that Frank was denied the
reasonable doubt?" The fact
is. Frank was given the bene-
fit Of the reasonable doubt
if we are disposed TO believe
what the twelve jurors say.
He not only misstates the
facts in this regard, but he
reflects upon every one of
those twelve Jurors. They
swore they would give the
prisoner the benefit of any
reasonable doubt and log
ically they did SO. for each
Juror had to pass that dead
line, so to speak, before they
could write a unanimous YER
dict of guilty.
Then, again, this sage Of
Washington u. c., makes the
further reflection that the
spirit that pervaded the
courtroom during the trial
Nas anything but orderly or
civilized. Does he suppose
the people of Georgia and
elsewhere viii swallow any
such statement The writer
happened TO be in Atlanta
during most of the trial and
was in the courtroom, and
we assert that we have never
witnessed a more orderly
trial Il seems that some
newspapers have just thrown
down the fences, and allowed
almost l.belous articles to he

Georgia as touching this
