SIDES
CONFIDENT
IN FRANK
CASE
Men Who Accuse HensIee Of
Prejudice of Highest Type,
Says Stiles Hopkins.

Attorneys for Leo NJ. Frank an
nounced "Wednesday that they invit-
ed an attack upon the truth and We
racity of the men who made deposit
tions against Juror A. II. Henslee,
charging bias and prejudice, just for
the purpose of demonstrating conclu
sively that every person who has
made an affidavit is unimpeacnable
and a man Of recognized character
and honesty.
The State and the defense both are
confident over the probable outcome
OF the motion for a new trial which
will be heard Saturday
Stiles Hopkins, one OF the firm of
Rosser, Brandon, SlatOn q Phillips,
obtained a number Of the dispositions
for the defense and Investigated care
fully the reputation and standing Of
every man from whom he took an
affidavit. He was authority Wednes-
day for the statement that they are
men of prominence and excellent re-
pute in their communities.
Absurd, Says Hopkins.
They have filed dispositions charg-
ing that they overheard Henslee, be-
fore the trial of Frank, utter violent
ly denunciatory remarks in regard to
the defendant and declare his belief
in Franks guilt.
some Of the statements credited to
him, but that he made them after the
trisl and not before.
That sort of a defense by Henslee
is most absurd" is the only comment
that Mr.. Hopkins would make on this
statement of the juror. Dispositions
which are on file show that one OF
the remarks of Hensee was that If
the jury ever turns Frank loose he
never will get out of Atlanta alive
This could not have been made after
the trial He also is alleged to have
said that he had been summoned as a
talesman and might be a juror in the
case. in which event he would like to
have part in breaking Franks neck.
He could not have said this after the
trial"
Prominent Men.
Mr. Hopkins said that J. j. Nun
nalIy. one of those who had made
dispositions, is vice president of the
w. H Nunnally Company, Of Monroe,
and is identified with the Nunnally &
Harris Supply Company, in which ca
pacity he met Henslee. who is an
agent for buggies, whips and sup
plies. None of the affiants, said the
lawyer, would have any occasion to
make deposition harmful to Hens
lee unless it was the truth. All, in
fact, he declared had been most re-
luctant to have anything to say about
the matter until they were forced to
make their statements by being sum
moned into court
John NJ Holmes, another who
swears he overheard Henslee make
violent remarks against Frank, is the
partner of John D. Walker. a promi-
nent banker. The others occupy sim
liar positions of prominence.

ASA CANOlER, Capitalist BANKER
Manufacturer, Real Estate
Owner;
ann glad that THE SUNDAY
AMERICAN and THE GEOR-
GItN are here to have a part in
the glorious future Of Atlanta and
the South and to assist in the
urhgt'ding of this section of the
country 1t is indisputable that
they are in a peculiarly favorable
position to make known to the
world the advantages and the re-
sources Of Atlanta and the South.
it is just as certain that they al
ready have accomplished a great
deal along this line.
THE SUNDAY AMERICAN
and THE GEORGIAN, together
with the other newspapers owned
by Mr. Hearst, have done much to
bring Atlanta to the attention of
the rest Of the country to an eX-
tent that would not have been
possible before this time. l am
confident they will continue their
c0mmendable work.
The wonderful progress and
growth Of THE SUNDAY AMER
IcAN and THE GEORGIAN are
good for the South. Although it
was patent that these newspapers
had met with instant favor, it was
a surprise to me to learn that the
net paid circulation of THE
SUNDAY AMERICAN now ex-
needs 100000 copies l hope the
prosperity may continue.
JOEL HURT, Capitalist, Real Estate
Owner:
! am personally gratified by the
report that HEARST'S SUNDAY
AMERICAN published in Atlanta
has passed the 100000 net paid
mark This growth has been
nothing short Of marvellous. That
a newspaper six months old
should attain a circulation of
that magnitude surely is an elo-
quent tribute to the enterprise
and ability Of its founder.
The Hearst newspapers in At
.anta have been active and push

Atlanta and the South. l believe
mat they are here with the de-
.e'mlned purpose of doing good
Tor this section of the country.

certainly than ever before. At

movement. 1t lies in the power
