STATE TOIGNORE
FORNBY FRANK
AFFIDAVIT
Attorney Hooper, Prosecutors
Aide, Declares Justice Is
Aim in Phagan Case.
Continued From Page I.

30 was discussed Saturday by per
sons interested in the case. The at
torneys for the accused man have
stated that they we're prepared to go
into court at any time, although IT is
not usual to give the defense so lit
tie time in capital case.
Frank was arrested April 20. If
his case is called June 80, only two
months will have elapsed since he
was seriously suspected of being in
VOWED in the crime. More time than
this ordinarily is given the attorneys
for the defense to investigate every
circumstance and story which may
point to the innocence of their client
1t is known that Judge L. S. Roam,
who will preside at the trial, will be
free the weeks Of July IA and July
2S. This is interpreted to suggest the
possibility that the trial will be post
poned to one of those dates.
Reuben Arnold, the probability Of
whose participation in the Frank trial
was indicated by The American
three weeks ago, is at Atlantic Beach
and will not return to Atlanta until
Monday It was said at his office,
however, that definite arrangements
for his becoming one OF the counsel
for the defense had not as yet been
made.
Chief Lanford said that the great
sheaf Of affidavits procured by his
department had no use except to
guide the memory of his men in their
investigations and to hold as a pro-
lection in the event of an emergency,
such as the sudden change in the
testimony Of witness or the disap-
pearance of a witness from the juris-
diction of the court.
Some question had arisen as to the
purpose Of the large number Of affi-
davits when none of them would be
permitted. to be introduced as evil
dence In the trial of Leo Frank, so
long as the affiant appeared to tes-
tify.
The chief explained that It had
been the design OF the department to
protect itself at all points, and that In
case a witness changed his testimony
on the stand it would be possible to
proceed against him on the charge of
perjury.
The affidavits also were obtained TO
be used in the event that witness
dies before the trial or leaves the
! jurisdiction Of the court.
Defense Also Has Many.
II is known that the defense has In
its possession as many affidavits as
the prosecution. The attorneys for
Frank carefully have investigated
every story that has come to their
ears, and when It has appeared relia-
BILE they have obtained the sworn
statement of the person telling of the
circumstances.
The main difference in the case of
the prosecution and that of the de-
Tense is that the contents of most of
the affidavits obtained by the detec
tives are known to the public while
the revelations made to the defense
have been most carefully guarded.
Luther 2. Rosser, attorney for
Frank. made one public statement,
but in it he carefully avoided Civ
ing any hint that would aid the pros
ecution in determining who his wit
nesses were to be or what they would
| testify.

FRESH APPEAL IS
MADE FOR AID
Of YANCEYS
New Misfortune Grips Dead
Deputy's FamiIy-Beneft
Dance Is Arranged

Another appeal for contributions to
the fund for the family of Dave
Yancey. the brave officer of the law
who gave up his life while doing his
duty, has been sent out.
The plea comes from the widow and
six children of the deputy. 1t finds
impetus in more misfortune which
the family has suffered. Lois, the
16-year- old daughter, who had re-
Gently been released from the hos
pital, has been sent back. suffering
relapse precipitated by the shock of
her fathers death. This means more
doctors bills and debt
In a squirt of generosity, Atlanta
citizens subscribed $1,000 or there
abouts for the Yancey family The
fund swelled with the flow of silver
coin. Quickly, sufficient money was
raised to pay off the 5000 mortgage
on the little Yancey farm that, the
family might have a home of its
own.
Interest Is Tagging.
However, Atlanta's interest in the
widow and children of Yancey is lag
ging. The flow of silver has almost
ceased. The stricken family is threat
ened with having a home without
themselves.
There are thousands of persons in
Atlanta who have not given to this
worthy cause, Let them come for
ward with their quarters halt-dol-
lars and dollars and assure the fam
lily of Dave YanCey a bright future.
There will be a benefit dance at
the Owls Club next Friday night for
the Yancey fund. The affair has been
arranged by Deputies H. e. Latham
and n. A. Garner, and D. L. Good
lin, Jr., a clerk in the Solicitors Of
flee. Everyone should purchase a
ticket for this affair. All the money
will go towards aiding Dave Yancey's
family. The price of admission will
be % cents each for men. Ladies will
be admitted free. The public is cor
daily invited. 1t is hoped that at
least $500 will be raised for the fund
by this means.

The Value of Accuracy.

We strive SO much to know every
thing that we lose sight of the fact
that accuracy is more important than
knowledge since knowledge that Is
misty and fragile is poor guide. But
1t Is not only that what we know
should be true as that the fact that
accuracy Is one of the most important
elements of character. Vague ideas
tend to make weak character since
character is only another name for
truth. So that In the education OF
every man and child accuracy should
be made vital part. One Of the tests
for entrance to the Naval academy is,
or was. an addition of column Of fig
ures to ascertain the quantity of care
lessness, If any, the applicant has In
his character. 1t should be made an
important item In our education to re-
quire accuracy.-Ohio State Journal,

Origin Of the chrIstmss stocking.

Origin OF the Christmas Stocking.
From Italy comes the legend from
which we are supposed to get the time
honored custom Of hanging up the
Christmas stocking. Good old st. Mich
olas of Padua used to throw long knit
ted purses tied at both ends into the
open windows of the very poor people.
and these purses were of yarn and not
unlike footless stocking. Finally 1t
became the custom of the people to
hang these empty receptacles out of
their windows on the night before
Christmas so that st. Nicholas would
put gift into them as he passed by.
BY and by. when the coin of the realm
became scarce. toys were put In for the
children and useful presents for grown
people. In the north country. where 1t
was rather chilly at Christmas time.
the purses were hung on the mantel-
piece. and 1t was believed that the
good old saint would come down the
chimney and Gil them. When these
purses went out of fashion stockings
were substituted and have been used
ever since.

Josou;n Miller In London.

Joaquin Miller is especially felicitous
IN his description of mountains and
sea. His phrasing is strong and.
though sometimes strained, vivid and
true:
Afar the bright Sierras lie
swaying line of snowy white.
A fringe of heaven hung in sight
Against the blue base Of the sky.
And this is aptly desc i've of the
ocean foanling on the shore:
The oceans thin and hoary hair
Is trailed along the silvered sands.
After the late Lord Houghton climb
ed the attic stairs to Joaquin's room
and found him sleeping under a buf
falo robe the crude young westerner
became familiar figure in London
social circles. He did not abandon his
frontier costume, but invaded London
drawing rooms with trousers tucked
into his boots and his tawny hair and
beard flowing uncut over scarlet
shirt. He afterward settled in Wash
ington as journalist and in 1887 re-
moved to California. Westminster Ga

Reading a book recently. the writer
was arrested by one sentence: "If
went into room without knowing you
to be there should at once feel your
presence" 1t is the imaginative ad-
dress from a man to woman Most
of us possibly have that curious in
stinct-the diverse of that Of the horse
that will not rest in a stable that has
housed bear-the instinct that knows
the presence of the affinity. There are
people-being to the general view ex-
cellent citizens-whom you cannot
abide. There are people whose pres
ence you detest and resent. and though
you could give no particular reason for
the antipathy you would rather die
suddenly than live in the same street
with them. Those are usually, I think,
relatives of some sort who have the
traditional claim to make themselves a
nuisance. But haven't you felt the
presence Of the person you like?--Lon-

Bio Eyes, Bio Brain,

Professor Laugier. French scien-
list, has discovered that the size of the
brain In animals Is In exact proper
ton to the size of the eyes. The big
ger the eyes the bigger the brains.
OF course this only applies to each
class of animal. A tiger may have
bigger eyes than man for instance.
but 1t doesn't follow that 1t has a big
ger brain. hut the tiger with big
eyes Is more cunning and brainy than
tiger with small eyes. Professor
I.augier made this remarkable discov-
cry when studying the habits of the
fish known as the dorado or gilthead
There are two kinds of dorado. one
pink and the other gray. The gray
fish has much smaller eye than the
pink one The scientist cut open
large number of these FISH in his ex-
periments and was struck by the fact
that the large eyed fish always had
the largest brain He promptly fol-
lowed up this discovery by testing
other animals. He found. for example.
that the little tree frog had much
larger eye than the larger marsh frog
and had also larger brain He as
'erts that the same rule applies among
Ngher animals

Potatoes and Power.

One foresees the triumph of the pO-
tato, unforeseen by william Cobbett,
not so much as food. but as means
Of motion. Coal is giving out; petrol
is going up in price and down In pro-
duction. The supply of both is limited
and must come to an end. but there
comes the cheer that alcohol will be
the motive force Of the future. Petrol
and coal may give out. but the earth
will always grow potatoes. Potatoes
can produce alcohol. and alcohol can
drive engines. In the potato we seem
to have discovered the secret Of per-
petual motion.-London Chronicle.

MUTUAL IGNORANCE.
Quaint story Of Dumas and Scribe, the

Quaint Story OF Dumas and scribe, the
Playwright.
Sardou had his eyes opened by the
plays of Scribe. AT that day 1t was the
fashion among the younger literary
men to sneer at Scribe-as it is today,
by the way. to sneer at Sardou. Scribe
was called ''potboiler,' maker of
mechanical plays. man who wrote
scenes to fit scenery and maker Of
plots rather than of plays. Appalling
tales were told of him by unsuccessful

chased ideas, revamped them and thus
acquired the large fortune which he
was then enjoying.
How they accounted for the fact that
with the ideas of unsuccessful play
wrights he made successful plays ira
dition does not tell But all were
agreed that Scribe was mediocre, that
his success was accidental and that he
was a miser Albert Wolff gives these
details Of the opinions held with re-
gard to Scribe in the ffties and adds
this anecdOte;
'The only influential man l knew in
Paris" said Sardou. was Dumas the
elder. One day | said to him, Won't
you give me letter of introduction to
Scribe, the playwright Scribe said
the great romancer-'who Is Scribe? |
