In this paper, Lewis made J. p say that

That's an awfully big job at the elysian-
laundry, but still, as Christ saved one thief
on the Cross, he may possibly save J. P.

When the Democrats were in power. that

evidence against him satisfied an impartial
jury, and that he, like any other criminal,
must suffer the penalty for his crime
Surely the case was ended then? By no
means.
The Atlanta Journal came rushing before
the public with bullying, brow beating edi-
torlal, demanding that Frank be given an
other trial, and saying that his execution I'M
der the sentence approved by the highest
Court OF Georgia, would be judicial muir
DER"
Then began such a crusade against the
good name of our State as nobody ever be-
fore heard of. The New York Times viii
lied us before the whole world The Puck
Magazine held us up to scorn and loathing
IN llbellous cartoons.
The negro paper in Atlanta Jumped on us
with It's indignant and righteous feet.
The rotten scoundrel, w. j. Burns, ran up
and down the land, pouring foul abuse upon
us, In every paper that would print the rant
lngs of this coWardly, corrupt and despicable
wretch.
During all that organized crusade of Big
Money and the rotten Burns against the good
name OF Georgia and against the integrity of
your courts, the only paper that stepped for
ward to fight your battle was The Jefferso-
man.
The only paper that held up the hands of
the lncoruptible and indomitable Hugh Dor
sey, was The Jefersonian.
Had it not been that you had one paper
that wasn't to be silenced or hoodwinked, it
is highly probable that the infamous Burns
might have succeeded, when he started his
campaign to bulldoze witnesses, 6uy testi-
moomy, suppress evidence gag the press, de-
feat justice, and leave UNPUBLISHED the most
damnable CRIME ever perpetrated in Georgia.
An Extraordinary Motion for new trial
was made, and the lawyers throughout the
State must have been bewildered when they
saw that not scintilla of new evidence was
brought forward-not word that ordinary
diligence would not have unearthed at the
first tzial.
Again the Superior Court Judge heard
argument, and again the new trial was
fused, because there qoas absolutely no ground
for 1t.
If Frank was to haze new trial iust be-
cause he aU0nted 1t, then none of our law APP
piled to Frank, and we must make new law,
specially for has case.
Again the Supreme Court was resorted to,
and again the Supreme Court said IN sub
stance, "Unless qoe make a meac Code for Leo
Fru'ah, he must abide the decision reached in
the trial court"
Surely, this second decision of the highest
court would be an end of the case!
Oh, no: not at all.
His lawyers incubate third time, and they
hatch third appeal based upon the fact that
they ought to have had Frank in the court;
room when the verdict was read and that
they had no right to waive his presence and
poll the jury, when he wasn't there to do it
himself
In other words, the third attempt to set
aside the verdict amounted to this plea

AUTOMOBILE OWNERS
AROUSED OVER TAX

Automobiles throughout the
country are thoroughly aroused at
the evident desire on the part Of GER
tain national legislators to place upon
motor car owners large percentage
Of the amount to be derived from
the war tax measure
State and local clubs Of the Ameri-
can Automobile association almost
unanimously responded to the call OF
Its special legislative committee, OF
which DR.. Fl. NJ. Rowe, Of Maryland,
served as chairman, to make known
to members Of congress their posi-.
tive objection to being seized upon
anew as a source of attack for pur-
poses of revenue.
The protest set forth the unfair
ness of any legislation which singled
out motor cars from other road
vehicles. II gasoline motor cars were
called upon to pay. II was asserted.
all horse drawn vehicles should be
taxed. frankly admitting that their
mileage Is less and the tax should be
accordingly graded.
The situation presented an oppof-
tunity to A. A. A. clubs, to empha-
size to the national legislators the
just position which the association
has taken in contending that all road
vehicles should pay or none should
pay.
