fore Judge Roam Next We'd

The way was cleared Saturday for
the actual beginning of the fight over
the molten to give Leo NJ. Frank, con-
victed of the murder of Mary Pha-
gan, a new trial. The battle will
open before Judge Roam Wednesday
with both sides primed for vigorous
contest in which charges against ju-
rors accused of bias will play a large
part.
The defense, headed by Luther u.
Rosser. relies in large part on the
evidence showing that Juror A. H
Henslee expressed violent animus to
Frank before the trial opened, win
ming a new trial for the prisoner
Scores of affidavits will be introduced
to uphold the character Of the wit
nssses who swear that Henslee said
he was sure Frank was guilty and
would like to see him hanged.
On the other hand the State will be
prepared to assail a number Of these
witnesses and will try to show
through Henslee himself that the sen
timents against Frank were expressed
after the trial
Will Exchange All Papers.
Wednesday, as had been announced
in The Georgian, was formally fixed
for the opening of the arguments by
Judge Roam Saturday. At the same
time the defense and State agreed to
exchange all new papers in the case

In the discussion Of the case Mr..
Rosser made the offer to exchange all
new affidavits for the new papers in
possession of the State and Solicitor
Dorsey agreed.
While declaring that delay un-
doubtedly would benefit their client,
Luther Rosser, for the defense, urged
that the motion he brought to a
speedy hearing.
He pointed out that he had been
neglectilg his civil business for the
Frank case, and said that if the fight
over the new motion were not dis
posed of by Monday a week he would
have to ask that it be put over so
that he could take up some Of his
other work.
Roam Urges Haste.
II that was impossible, he wanted
the case to be put over until De

Judge Roam interrupted with the
remark that he was anxious to pass
on the case as quickly as possible
and would be against any delay until
December, and the same sentiments

ATKINSON IS
OUT Of ROAD
He Bull I
Judge Pardee Accepts Resigna-
ton of the A. B. and A. Re-
Ceiver, Effective October 81.

Don A. Pardee, judge of the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals for
the Northern District of Georgia, Sat
urday signed a court order accept
ing the resignation of H. NJ. Atkin-
son as receiver for the Atlanta, Bir-
mingham and Atlantic Railroad Com
pany. to take effect October 81.
Mr.. Atkinson submitted his resig-
nation in a letter to Judge Pardee
dated October IA, but action has been
delayed on it because, as the judge
stated, he wished to give Mr.. At
kinson time to reconsider his resig-
nation, and also that he might de-
termine what action to take in the
matter of appointing his successor"
Judge Pardee's order provides that
E. I. Lamb, who has been joint re-
ceiver with Mr.. Atkinson for more
than a year. will continue as sole re-
ceiver of the property after Novem~
ber l, and will have entire charge of
the operation of the road.
No Change in Policy Likely.
II is the consensus of opinion among
Atlanta railroad men that there will
be no change in the policy of the road
because of Mr.. Atkinsons resigna-
ton
In his letter TO Judge Pardee, Mr..
Atkinson offers as his reason for re-
signing the fact that to continue IN
the position would necessitate atten-
ton to detail that would hamper his
work with the Georgia Railway and
Power Company, in which he is a
leading figure. His letter follows:
81 herewith tender my resignation
as receiver Of the properties of the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
Railroad Company, the Georgia Ter
minal Company and the Alabama Ter
minal Railroad Company
"As the construction of the road
was completed some time ago and it's
entire mileage has been in operation
for several years, its future now de-
pends largely upon efficient operation.
This means attention to detail of op-
Grafton which l am not in a position
to give to the property, as 1t is nee
essary for me to give a large part, if
not all, of my time to the Georgia
Railway and Power Company and
ether business interests which / have.
Judge Praises Atkinson.
q appreciate highly the confidence
you have always shown in me, and
while I am anxious to be relieved Of
the duties and responsibilities of the
receivership, I personally regret the
termination of my official association
with you"
Shortly after signing the order ac-
cepting the resignation, Judge Pardee
wrote a letter to Mr.. Atkinson, ex-
pressing his regret that the latter had
terminated his connection with the
road.
Il feel called upon to say said the
letter. that during the long time you
have been receiver of the A, B. and A.
properties l always have found you
acting in and for the best interests
Of owners and creditors and with the
intent and purpose to make. If possi-
BILE, the A, b and A. Railroad the sue
cess originally contemplated by your
self and associates and / have no
hesitation in assuring you that your
services as receiver have been of great
value to the properties in question"

Blacksmith Tells How Prisoners

"Torture Chamber"

Negro bosses over white convicts
is one Of the sensational charges
made against Warden William H.
Meyer, of the Federal prison, by B. b.
Rich, who for nine and one-half years
was employed as foreman of the
blacksmith shop there. He declares
that one tenth Of the abuse of con-
victs at the prison has never been
told, and that the charges OF Julian
Hawthorne and DR.. Morton, whose
arraignment Of the prison adminlstra-
ton created a sensation following
thei7 discharge from the penitentiary
three days ago. are true in every par
ticuIar.
Confinement in the hole is com

named, and was often called upon
to rivet the chains on the prisoners
confined there. They were chained
to the door hanging by their hands.
Sometimes they We're kept this way

nothing but bread and water. Some
times they were given two slices OF

out so pallid and weak they could

THE charges of starving the pris-
oners are absolutely true. l had 40
men in my squad and they were hun
CRY all the time. They would take
the scraps from my lunch and raven
ously eat them. The lack of food
made rogues of them. When the
guards backs We're turned I have
seen them ravenously eating pieces of
pie, ham and eggs and other food
which the cooks had stolen from the
kitchens of the warden and officers.
They begged me 10 bring them food.
and my lunch basket contained more
than l could have eaten.
"A peculiar system is that some Of
the work demands that number Of
the convicts continue at work during
the noon hour for lunch. They are
compelled to wait, and it was the
usual thing for the men who worked
through the noon hour to get a bet
ter meal than those who ate at the
regular time. The men in my squad
begged to be allowed to work during
this time in order that they might
obtain the better food.
There were many forms of punish
ment and if the men employed at the
penitentiary are assured that they
will not lose their positions they will
reveal a state of conditions that will
cause everyone to shudder"

fense Of Warden Meyer made by
Thomas c. Bram, who recently was
paroled.

Pierre, March IL. Another compli
cation has come to light in the demo
cratic ''pie" situation in South Dakota
through a claim in circulation that
G. l.. Candy. of Rapid City. has re-
ceived ASSURANCES that he will be the
grand high authority on this subject.
Mr.. Candy was the democratic candi.
date for congress in the Third district
last fall and is a close personal friend
of Thomas r. Marshall, present vice
president.
Vice President Marshall in a lengthy
letter to Mr.. Candy made this state
ment: "We will look to you for the
solution of the situation ia South Da.
kota." The only question at STAGE just
now seems TO be as to whether the vice
president was speaking with authority
and as to whether he can deliver the
goods, as indicated in his letter to
Mr.. Candy.
There has been a general impression
that Ed s. johnson and bis lieutenant,
James E. Coffey, would be the undi 3
puted dictators Of the situation in
this state, but the letter to Candy
leaves that question somewhat in
doubt. In the meantime Tom Ayres,
of Pierre, and Richard w. Clarke. OF
Huron, are preparing to go to Wash
ington to present the lease of the
many as against the few" to the new
president. They were given this as
sigrment at 3 recent meeting of insur-
gent democrats held ia Pierre.

material increase Of population in most
of the national forests of the west. Tue
sum of 1856, 600 was appropriated to
classify ell lands within national for
ests. for the purpose of determining
for what use the various lands found
within forests are most valuable. The
particular object in view is to deter.
mine the lands suitable for agricul-
tural purposes, in order that they
shall be open to entry by honest esd
settlers. TIE classification work will
be under the direction of the forest
super visor, assisted by the bureau of
soils, and only men who have had sci
enti6c training and experience in agri-
ulture will be employed in the work.
The direct advantage to this (Harney

sary for a person to wait, after apply
ing for a certain tract of land, until
after the land has been examined. The
new innovation also will allow some.
