ATTACK FRANK
TRIAL JUROR
Declare HensIee's Statement That
He Made Alleged RemarksAfter
Trial Is Wrong,

Another shot was fred Friday at A.
H. Henslee, one Of the Frank jurors
accused of bias and prejudice.
The fresh attack came from Sparta
residents who were aroused to indig-
nation by the statement Of Henslee
that he made the remarks they cred
tied to him since and not before the
trial They denied Henslees deClara-
ton in a comm .miCation forwarded
Wednesday 20 ranks attorneys, and
asserted they Lad not seen Henslee
since the trial
Their reply to Henslees defense
was much to the same effect as that
of Nunrally and Kicker, Of Monroe,
who said Henslee had not been in
town since the trial. so far as they
knew and that Henslee's remarks de-
nouncing Frank therefore must have
been made to them before Henslee
became one Of the jurymen.
Movements Traced.
The accused jurors movements
have been carefully traced before and
after the trial. Agents acting for the
defense have been assisted in this
materially by the recovery Of carbon
copies Of orders taken by Henslee,
who is a travelling salesman.
MarCellus Johenning, another juror
charged with bias, was in a brief
conference Friday with Solicitor Dor
sey. He Signed a deposition denying
all prejudice He reiterated his dec
laration of several weeks ago that he
never had expressed any opinion of
Franks innocence or guilt before the
trial, and that the lawyers for the
defense would not be able to substan-
tiate their charges
The Solicitor said he rapidly was
completing his work in preparation
to argue against the motion for a new
trial.
Frank Spends Time Reading.
He will be ready to present his
objections Wednesday. He made ar
rangements to confer with represen-
tatives OF the defense at O'clock
Friday afternoon for the purpose Of
checking up on the brief of evidence.

head OF the Mcclure five and ten cent
enterprises, and a leader in the Pro-
gressive party in the South, told a
graphic story of the Volturno sec
disaster on his arrival In New York
aboard the Kroonland, which saved
SO from the ill-fated vessel.
when / took passage on the
Kroonland," said Mr.. Mcclure, moth
ing was further from my thoughts
than that for my passage money /
would see the greatest spectacle ever
staged on the sea. And the horror
of being present while scores were
burned and drowned was almost
made up for by the gallantry of the
men who saved the hundreds of sur
vlvors of the volturno.
The heroic work of the Kroon-
lands men in bringing the desperate
passengers from the burning liner is
something that time can never era Sc
from my mind.
No Praise for Cunarder.
But there is one thought almost
as disturbing as the loss of those that
perished, and that is that the Car
mania, the first vessel to the scene
of the disaster failed to lower a life
boat, failed to rescue one single pas
senger from the burning ship None
Of us could understand why
Had the commander Of the Cunar-
der acted with the dispatch of the
master of the other rescuing vessels
1t is entirely likely that the death
toll would have been diminished by
scores

We received the call for help
while 1900 miles west of Dover, at 3
a. m. on Thursday morning, saying
that the Volturno was afre 100 miles

changed her course, and under fun
steam headed directly for the burn
ing steamer. At p. IN. the Volturno
was sighted. Two other steamships
we're standing by, but owing 10 the
heavy sea they were unable to take
off passengers.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon
wireless was received announcing
that all the lifeboats Of the Volturno
had been lost The Carmania asked

our question whether it was worth
