stories of police corruption and the
employment of methods for framing
up" cases, rivaling the exposures in
the Becker case in New York, will
play prominent part in the trial.
Developments have come thick and
fast since the mutilated body of Mary
Phagan was found on Sunday morn

the basement of the pencil factory
building where she was employed.
Within a few days after the discovery
of the crime Leo NJ Frank, the SUPER
intendent of the pencil factory, togeth-
er with two negroes, Newt Lee and
James Connally, were taken into GUS
tody on suspicion of having some
knowledge of the case Lee was the
night Waterman at the factory and
Connally was an employee.
The first big sensation in the case
came when Frank was indicted by the
Fulton county grand jury on a charge
of having murdered the girl. 1t is I'M
derstood that the indictment was
based principally upon the testimony
of the negro Connally. The latter, it
is said made affidavit, that on the day
preceding the girls murder, Frank

EVERY CITIZEN
INCOME TAX SHOULD BE DlSTRIB-
uTED OVER SMALL INCOMES,
DECLARES BORAH.

Washington, July 24.-Public discus
sion of the proposed new income tax
came for the first time in the Senate
Monday when Senator Borah began an
analysis of the income tax provision
of the bill and comparison of con.
ditions in this country with those in
England, France and other nations
where immense revenues are obtained
by direct taxation.
This was the FIRST break in the pro.
gram of tariff rate discussion which be
gan Saturday. 1t followed the con.
Guiding address by Senator Smoot, who
for two days had analysed the new
rates and duties of the Simmons I'm.
derwood bill and had criticised the
measure because of its departure from
the protective. policy and because OF
its alleged inequalities.
Senator Borahs address held the
close attention Of Republicans and
Democrats throughout the hour he had
the floor. He declared an income tax
to be an effective restraint upon the
extravagances of nation, should be
distributed over the small incomes. SO
every citizen would feel its effects. Be.
cause of the great burden Of indirect
taxation borne by American citizens
however, Senator Borah said this prin.
ciple could not be applied in the Unit.
ed States. On the contrary. he urged
that the $4,000 exemption fixed by the
Senate committee, be reased to the
$4,000 figure by the House under the
leadership of Chairman Underwood.
Under this income tax provision
there will be no relief for those who
ought to have relief said the Sena.
tor. ut will be a new source of reve.

at all unequal, was favorable to the
boys in grey.
On the morning of July 1 the vet
Grams from Mississippi united in trip
to scene of General Pickett's famous
charge which was made July 4, 1868,
over the valley of Death" to Devils
reu", a rocky space covering consid
cradle area. Mr.. WesteI field sale that

enemies with unerring aim as the lat
ter swarmed around Little Round
Top" a performance that continued
until they were shelled out with can
non.
The trip through the 'old peach Or
chard" was interesting, recalling as it
did the death trap set by General
Meade for Pickett's men who, in their
wild charge, rushed into it.
In speaking of his personal expert
ence at the Peach orchard during the
reunion, Mr.. Westerfield said that hav-
ing been overcome with heat he was
kindly ministered to by an old veteran
in blue from New Jersey, named Shat
fer, who was a participant in the
battle of Gettysburg. This man from
the other side stayed by him until the

a 15-year-old newsboy who was a friend
of the murdered girl, testified that
she had requested him to call by the
pencil factory on several occasions
because, she told him, Mr.. Frank had
sometimes rushed out of his factory
ahead of her and winked at her as
she went past.
That the best legal talent in Geor-
gia, which is represented in the op-
posing forces of lawyers, will be on
its mettle in the coming trial there
is not the slightest question. Neither
side has considered expense in the
collection of evidence. The prosecu-
ton claims to have secured circum-
stantial evidence so convincing that
it regards the accused safely en-
meshed. On the other hand the de-
tense let's fall inklings that it can
show that negro is responsible for
strangling the child.
Frank acknowledges that he was in
the factory when the girl came for her
pay, when the plant was closed for a
holiday, but that he had no reason to
think that the child had not left the
building Immediately on receiving her
envelope.
So far as is known Frank and the
two negroes were the only ones in the
building during the afternoon and eve
ming Of the day on which the crime
was committed. The negro Waterman,
who found the body, declares that he
had seen nothing suspicious about the
place until he ran into the body on a
trash pile in the cellar. The negro
Connally, after various tales, declared
he was telling the truth when he con-
fessed to having helped Frank dispose
of the body
While there are many things which
Frank has not explained satisfactorily
his family and many friends are stand
ing squarely by him. He also has a
large measure of public sympathy. A
majority Of the people look upon the
crime as typical of the lower negro
element and many express the belief
that it will be fastened on a member
of the black race when all the evidence
is brought out
The political end of the case is ex-
tremely interesting, though the effect
it will have on the acquittal or con-
viction Of the accused man is altogeth-
er problematical. At the bottom of
this phase of the case is the political
feud between Mayor Jim" Woodward
and the police department. Leaders
of the political element seeking to
GUST the present chief of police and
chief of detectives have seized puon
the Phagan case as an opportunity to
make charges of corrupt methods
against the police. The ditagraph has
been brought into play and charges
OF bribery, manufacturing evidence
and attempts to shield the slayer or
slayers of the Phagan girl have been
freely INDUCED In by those on both
sides of the political feud.
