Newspapers Will
Not Render Verdict.

My aim is To set down IN a fair,
truthful way my own opinion OF
the case. do not know whether
the editor Of the Hearst newspa-
pers indOrses my views or not.
am Of the opinion that the edi-
tor OF The Sunday American and
The Georgian believes that II Is
not within his province to try
Frank OF Conley, but that It Is his
duty to give all the facts In the
case that are obtainable and to
let the law and the jury decide
WHO Is guilty.
am not a believer in trials by
newspapers. l believe in the law.
I believe In the courts, in our
judges and in our jurles.
] know nothing about the Pha-
gan case that has not been pub
lished in the newspapers. do
know that Frank has been in
dicted. ] do know, as does every
one else, that there is a chain OF
circumstantial evidence which,
held together in court, win make
the case against Frank very Sc
rious.
Ny own opinion is that there
are several links In the chain that
are so weak that when one Is
broken, the chain viii fall apart.
/ can not be sure whether I am
right or wrong, however, until the
Solicitor General presents his evil
dence. In the meantime, | still
believe that the community is
anxious to give all concerned a
square deal; and that the average
man is fair-minded and is willing
to have the case tried In the
courts and not in the newspapers.

By AN OLD POLICE RE
PORTER,

There were few developments in
the Phagan case last week that 10
my mind were worth considering
seriously or that threw new light
upon the mystery.
Perhaps II was because Of this
that a good many people wrote
letters 10 THE Old Police Report
er''-some commencing my arti-
cles, others CondemninE them; but
in every case indicating clearly
that the interest has not lessened.
! observe that some Of the
State newspapers are publishing
foolish little paragraphs, bearing
the Atlanta date line, TO the eff
feet that the Hearst newspapers
have been bought to defend
Frank" This is too foolish to
notice.
Sull other newspapers are TAX
ing advantage OF the silly season
to point out various phases of the
case that to my mind are neither
vital nor interesting.
Let me say again, as positively
as l can, that these articles writ
ten by an old police reporter are
not for the purpose Of either maxi
ing a case for or against any
other individual

Old Reporter
Glad of Work.

If this Old Police Reporter, aft
eT his own manner and method
of doing things, has had a hand
I'm that work, he is very glad
his work has been ahundantly
and abldinEly worth while
We are coming very close TO the
trial of Leo Frank, duly indicted
by a Grand Jury composed Of
good men and true for the muir
der Of Mary Phagan.
Much has been written Of this
crime that is worthless as evil
denCe IN a court Of law. Hearsay.
mass OF It, long ago discarded
by the court officials as inCOm-
petent, has been printed for what
II might be worth by way Of
news. The newspapers are agcn-
cies for the PRONUNCIATION OF news,
not for the administration of jus
tice-and within the broad scope
of the word news" always Is to
be found much that rs totally ir-
relevant In legal procedure
This fact, The Georgian, The
American and the Old Police Re
porter constantly have sought to
impress upon the public many.
many news STORIES legitimate
and ethical, have been given out
with the advice that they be taken
with a grain Of salt.

Question of
Imagination.

There Is one point Of fact that
! shall touch upon to-day, and
that merely because I have been
called TO account in that direction
by spondent, very courte-
Ously, however. This correspond
ent disagrees with my doubts as
to the complete truthfulness of
the final Conley affidavit, and
gives II as his opinion Conley
could hardly have imagined or
made up the tale concerning
Frank he sets forth therein"

4 few days ago, COnley gave
out an affidavit concerning a new
phase of the Phagan case. He
sets forth in detail how a GER

ANOTHER "RoSENTHAL" GANG
SHOOTING IN NEW YORK

New York, Aug. 5.-'1f get out
of this I can count a lot of new graves
in the cemetery" was the comment
of William Lustig early today as he
lay seriously wounded in "Humpty''
Jackson's restaurant, following a
gang shooting, the details of which
closely Fesembled those marking the
murder of Herman RosenthaI. At the
Bellevue Hospital it was stated that
although Lustig's wounds were Sc,
rious he would probably recover.
Lustig is a brother of one Of the
detectives attached to\ the office of
District Attorney Whitman. He is
said to have gained the enmity of
Jackson and "gangsters" because of
being suspected of giving informa-
ton to the authorities. It was after
midnight when Lustig was seen on
Third avenue with a young woman,
headed toward JacksOn's place. Ar
irving there Lustig hesitated before
entering, but the young woman took

him by the arm and they took a table
near the door. Against his protests
tn young woman sat facing the
door, according to the story learned
by the police. Then she excused
herself. A big black touring car
rolled up in front of the restaurant,
four men jumped out and, while LUIS
tig sat with his back to the door, the
men directed the fire from their re-
volvers upon him. Lustig fell with
three bullet wounds in his body. The
four men dropped their weapons on
the sidewalk, jumped into the auto
mobile and, as the motor had been
kept running, dashed off before a
policeman a half block way could
make a move The young woman had
disappeared from the restaurant in
the meantime and no trace was found
of her. The police believe the shoot
ing was planned some time ago and
declare they have enough informa-
ton to lead them to believe that
members of the 'DOpey Benny
gang are responsible.
