GOVERNORS OFFICE
REFUSED BY SULZER
MKENDREE CHURCH FIRE
HAD PECULIAR FEATURE
AIR so CHARGED WITH ELEC-
TRIciTY, IMPOSSIBLE TO
STOP SLAZE.

Fire Chief Harrison and his men
areto be congratulated for the good
work they did at :he MsNendree
Methodist church fire rhp"s,L:y al
ternoon. The alarm soundei In the
worst of the storm and the run to
the fire was made in down pour of
rain.
When the lightning struck the
church steeple 1t scattered fire al
over the surrounding houses and the
blaze itself seemed impossible to
subdue as it was so charged with
electricity that the rain E the water
from the hose, had no effect for a
time.
While fighting the fire, the chief
and three of his men had a narrow es
cape when the steeple fell in, and
quick action, only saved them from
death or serious injury
1t Is said the steeple will not be
rebuilt, in which event the heaviest
expense will be in replacing the
glass destroyed.

MOTHER TELLS OF
LETTERS WRITTEN
ON DAY OF THE MURDER FRANK
WROTE LONG LETTER TO
HIS UNCLE.
FRANK WILL GO ON STAND
Attorney Arnold, for the Defense, An
nounced That He Had at Least 100
More Witnesses, Which Means
That Trial Will Run Several Days.
(By F. C. Gilreath).

Atlanta, Aug. 15.-Mrs. Rae Frank,
mother of Leo M. Frank, accused fac
tory superintendent, took the stand
this afternoon in defense of her boy,
and was still on the stand when the
trial was adjourned at AS O'clock
until o'clock Saturday morning.
Mrs. Frank testified as to letter
day of the murder of Mary Phagan,
addressed to M. Frank, uncle Of the
accused, and received in New York
several days later.
The letter was admitted as evil
dence but was not read to the jury.
Its contents told of memorial parade
and of grand opera closing in Allan
ia, since his uncle left.
Attorney Arnold, for the defense,
announced after court had adjourned
that defense would put up about one
hundred more witnesses and that il
would require at least two more days
for it to conclude it's evidence. This
is taken to mean that the accused
will not occupy the witness stand un.
til possibly Wednesday.
By one question asked Of Mary
Burton, forelady of the polishing
room of the pencil factory, Solicitor
Dorsey this afternoon indicated that
he had witnesses who would testify,
if permitted, that Frank made ad-
vances to Mary IPhagan, murdered
- IL
asked the witness:
did you ever hear that Frank got
Mary Phagan in a corner two weeks
prior to the murder and that she was
begging him to let her get away?"
Miss Burton answered, NO
If the solicitor has any such wit
nesses he can put them on the stand
and ask if they know the character of
the accused and witness can only an
swer as to whether it is good or
bad, but if defense asks witnesses to
give their reasons for their opinion
and state specific instances, then al
legged testimony against Franks
character can get before the jury
1t was learned this afternoon that
the defense, probably would call
practically every employee of the
pencil factory to testify to the good
character of Frank, although no an
nouncement to this effect has been
made.
Attorney Arnold did announce,
however, that he was going to call
every girl who worked on the fourth
floor of the factory to answer yes"
or mo- as to whether they had been
inFrank's office drinking beer.
Mrs. e. H. Carson was the first of
these&witnes and she answered

gagement, was corroborated this aft
ernoon when Annie Hix, negro wo.

called on the phone and asked for

and he was told that both were out
and he left word he would be unable
to attend the ball game.
The negress also testified that she
