date corresponding to the time in
question
| AS another proof that the juror
was disappearing the facts of the
case the lawyer promised also to
submit affidavits from three persons
who had sworn that they saw Hens
lee in Albany at this time.
The forenoon session was practi-
cally divided between a determined
and uniformly successful struggle by
the defense to incorporate the ad-
mission of every fragment of char
acter testimony against Frank as a.
reason upon which to argue for q
new trial, and a squabbe over the
testimony of f. n. Pickett, who de-
clared that Minola Mcknight had
told him that her salary in the
Frank home was raised Immediately
after the crime, that she was given
a new hat by Mrs. Frank, and that
she was instructed by Mrs. Emil Sc
Zig, Mrs. Franks mother, to say MOTH
ing to anyone about the murder.
A long debate also arose over the
contention OF the defense that the
judge erred in letting In the testi-
mony OF Harlee Branch, a news
paper man, who made an estimate of
the time that 1t required Jim Con-
ley TO re-enact in the factory the
part he asserted he had in the Pha-
gan tragedy.
Objection to Testimony.
The objection to this testimony was
on the ground that it was pure con-
clusion; that 1t was impossible to
take a witness to the factory and
have him indicate accurately how
long It required for him to do one
thing or another; that Branch did not
pretend to have timed the perform
ance. and that his testimony would
not have been admissible even IL he
had; that Conley's performance at the
factory was not the same as he de-
scribed It on the stand at the trial;
that the negro described 1t entirely
differently on the stand. at least, diff
ferently in many particulars; that 1t
could not help the jury for Conley TO
illustrate his last affidavit when he
said on the stand that much of it was
lie and didn't happen at ALL and
that this evidence was of another
transaction and not binding on the
defendant. The reason was approved
by Judge Roam.
Attorneys Rosser and Arnold main
tanned that Pickett's testimony should
be allowed to stand as reason to be
argued for a new trial. in that Il was
palpably immaterial evidence en-
ployed to impeach the testimony of
the Mcknight woman. This ground
was approved after slight revision by
Judge Roam.

applause during one OF the outbreaks

not one redeeming thing in all its
history to commend it to good men.
1t breaks the law of God. and man.
1t desecrats the Sabbath; it profanes

tenderest feeling of humanity; it is
a moral pestilence that blights the
very atmosphere of town and
country; it is stain upon honesty;
a blur upon purity; clog upon

A Gold Medal

A gold metal to the school boy
or girl between the ages of lC
and IS who writes the best COM
position, not to exceed 800 words,
on the repair and maintenance
of earth roads, it is to be award
ed by Logan Waller Page,
Director, Office of Public Roads,
United States Department ST
Agriculture, WASHINGTON, D. c..
All compositions must be sub
mited to Mr.. Page before May
IS, 1913. and the medal will be
awarded as soon thereafthr as
the composition can be graded.
The composition may be based
on knowledge gained from books
or other sources, but no quotati-
ons should be made.
After many years, experience
in dealing with the public road
situation of the country, 1t is
Mr.. Pages belief that ignorance
on the subject of repair and
maintenance of roads is as much
the case of their bad condition
as any other other one factor.
1t is expected that they cometti-
on will bring about a better I'M
derstanding of the subject of
repair and maintenance in the
rural district.
Many children living in the ru-
raj districts have experienced
the disadvantages of roads made
impossible through a lack of
proper maintenance and it is ex-
pected that their interest in the
competition will stimulate great
er interest among the parents.
Bad roads have prevented many
children from obtaining proper
education and have even pre-
vented doctors from reaching
the side of rural patients in time
to save their lives.
Any child between the ages
mentioned attending a country
school, may compete. Only one
side of the paper must be written
on, each page should be mum ber-
ed, the name, age, and address
of the writer, and the name and
location of the school which he
or she is attending must be
plainly written at the top of the
first page. The announcement
of the competition has been sent
to the superintendent of schools
in the rural districts. No
further information can be OBJ
tanned from the Office of Public
Roads. This announcement
should be plain to everyone, and
all children will TINS start on a
basis of equality.
