Moral Decline Laid
to Equal Suffrage

HARTFORD, June 21.-"The rea-
son why so many happy courtships
are followed by unhappy marriages is
because the young lady hunters give
too much time to weaving nets and
not enough to building cakes for
men," said Manager James Joseph
Fox, S. T. D., associate professor Of
ethics in the Catholic University of
America, to graduates of Mount St.
Joseph Seminary, an ultra fashion
able school for girls.
THE spirit of woman suffrage is
largely responsible for the widespread
decline in morals that shows we are
reverting to paganism."

CHALKHOLDS
CHILD IN
POISON
GRIP
7-Year-0Id Mary TribbIe Dying
After 2 Weeks Paralysis
From Eating Crayon,

Seven-year-old Mary Tribble,
daughter Of Policeman w. c. Tribble,
lies entirely paralyzed and speech
less at her home, Porter Street,
East Atlanta, where her strange case
has baffled physicians for the two
weeks.
Two doctors have worked over her
almost constantly since she came
from school two weeks ago Friday
and told OF eating some pieces of
brightly colored crayon. A few min
utes after she complained Of being
i'll. her little body was rigid in the
mysterious paralysis and she has not
been able tou tier a word since.
The physicians say that the color
ing matter in the crayons IL one of
the deadly poisons when taken into
the human system.
Physicians Are Powerlsss.
The case Is so unusual they are
powerless to combat It. Only flick
er OF life apparently remains in the
tense body Of the stricken child.
The doctors fear this bit of life
will go out at any moment.
Mary Tribble's uncle, Policeman
Charles H. Brannon, still has in his
possession the remnants of the chalk
which the girl ate. The imprints OF
her little teeth plainly are discern
able upon H.
The girl was a pupil in the first
grade at the Faith School in East At
lanta Several days before the close
of school her parents bought her some
Of the attractively colored crayons.
She had pleaded for them for weeks,
saying that she wanted to draw pref
ty pictures on the blackboard like the,
other children.
On the last day Of school she went
home sick She was questioned by
her mother, but was only able to tell
that she had eaten some Of the chalk.
A little later she was unconscious.
In Rigor of Death.
Drs. p. e. Pearce and r. E. Stone
were called. They were told of the
circumstances and came to fhe con-
clusion that aniline coloring, a deadly
poison, had been used in the crayons.
They used every method known to
the medical profession to bring the
girl out of her strange state, but were
unsuccessful.
From that time she has remained
as iE the rigor of death. Not a mus
Gle has moved or witched Not
sound has come from her lips. The
physicians can not hold out much
hope They say that II the condition
lasts much longer the girl must surely
die. Her quick release from the para
lytic state they believe to be the only
thing that will save the young life.
The parents are heartbroken. Mary
was a bright, happy little child and
was one Of the bright spots of sun
shine in the little home. She was
popular with her playmates, and they
cali every day at the Tribble house to
see if there is any sign Of improve
ment

but to help find and convict the
murderer of Mary Phagan. If the
trial proves we are wrong, we
will begin work on another angle.
We have but one object and idea.
1t is that justice and the law be
indicated. We are, however, con-
WINGED we have a strong case

FRANK A. HOOPER,
Attorney.
Mrs. Nina Formby and her sensa-
tional affidavit will not be used by
the State in the trial of Leo NJ
Frank, according to a statement Sat
urday from Attorney Frank A. Hoop
er, assisting the prosecution.
Mr., Hooper said the State had new
er attached any Importance to the
affidavit except for the first few days,
and that when Mrs. Formby mystic
riously disappeared from the city, the
State eliminated her from the case
entirely and made no effort to To-
cate her He said time set forth in
the affidavit and the alleged facts
were at too wide a variance with
anything the State expected to prove,
and there had been no trouble in max
ing the case without her
Affidavit Did Not Fit.
THE woman's affidavit did not fit
in anywhere in our case" said Mr..
Hooper. IF it had we would have
looked around a long time for wit
nesses to substantiate it before we
put her on the stand. When she left
Atlanta we considered her gone for
good, and built without her. Mr.. Dor
sey and myself discussed her state
ment several times, and we decided
she could not be used to any advan-
tage"
Mr. Hooper said It had been de-
cided to put the Frank case on the
calendar for the week of June 80 and
the State would be ready for trial on
that day.
When Mr.. Dorsey returns from
New York tonight or Sunday. we will
go into a conference and definitely
outline the case to be presented by
the State" said Mr.. oHoper. I'VE had
decided TO have 1t called Monday
morning, June 30. Unless the defense
asks for continuance, the case will
probably be tried then"
Not Weak Points Remain.
He said that he had been acqualnt-
ed with every bit of evidence that was
in the hands of the State and had
studied 1t carefully with the Solicitor.
For one week, he SAID ne and Mr..
Dorsey worked necessarily on the
sworn statements secured from the
probable witnesses.
Where there was a weak point we
either strengthened 1t or eliminated
1t entirely. We have not depended on
the evidence of any one person alone
to build our cas- or make IT stand up.
We are prepared for almost any
emergency, and feel that we have left
no stone unturned in our investiga-
ton. We are confident mere are no
more mysterious witnesses to be
heard from, for we feel that we have
questioned everyone who could pos
sibly know anything Of importance.
Mr. Hooper would not discuss the
many conflicting statements OF the
negro Jim Conley and the part he
was expected to play in the States
case.
