getting a word or a message TO any OF
the Jurors on these weekend homing
trips that fact would be great help
TO the defence in getting q reversal.
As was intimated BY Arthur G. Train
in his opening, the tremendous eN-
pense Of preparing the case probably
will preclude second trial IN case OF
e disagreement or a reversal. SO every
measure which tends to make this
perfect trial is welcomed by him.
The defence has definitely decided
that il will call Valentine 7. Snyder,
former president and at present di-
rector Of the National Bank Of Com
merce, from which, it is charged in the
Indictment, Siegel stole 1854 90 by
means Of false statement as TO the
condition Of his business.
II will be shown that member or
counsel for Siegel said Mr.. Snyder was
a close personal friend OF Vogel and
that il was at his solicitation the Sic
gel and Vogel account was brought 10
the Bank of Commerce. II will also be
brought out that previous 70 this TN.
bank handled the New York business OF
Morris & Co., the Chicago packers
Nelson Morris was Vogefs brother-in-
law.
The purpose of this will be TO create
in the minds Of the jury the belief that
the bank had every opportunity TO be
conversant with the business OF Slegel
and Vogel. and that the alleged false
statements were merely formalities and
had no bearing OF the loans. In other
words, it will be argued that the bank
took a chance in the Siegel enterprises
the same as Siegel did.
Frank +. Champion, confidential
manager for Siegel Of his private bank
in the 18th ST. store. will continue on
the witness stand Monday. Mr.. Train
expects TO draw from him additional
information as 10 the way in which
loans 10 the different Siegel enterprises
were split and entries omitted from the
ledgers so as to conceal the deals.
II will also be brought out how an ef-
fort was made TO seal his lips just be-
fore the crash came and when 1t was
seen that a catastrophe was inevitable.
Champion owned stock in the Siegel
Stores Corporation valued at par at
$4,000. He was paid dollar for dollar
for this, although when the bottom
dropped out il was left worth about
cents a share.

Georgia's Highest Court
Rules His Rights Were
Not Violated.
CASE NOW TO GO
TO WASHINGTON
Attorneys of Man Condemned
for Phagan Murder to
Appeal at Once.

Atlanta, Nov. 1.-THE State Supreme
Court to-day refused new trial TO Leo
NJ. Frank, convicted here August 20,
1913, for the murder of Mary Phagan.
Franks motion for a rehesring was
based on the ground that his constitu-
tional rights had been violated by rea-
son of his absence from the courtroom
when the jury returned its verdict.
BY sustaining the states demurrer TO
the Frank motion to set aside the YER
dict of the lower court the Supreme
Courts ruling means that Franks only
appeal now is to the Supreme Court OF
the United States.
In their arguments counsel for Frank
alleged that 1.-The air about the court
room was surcharged with mob VIC
lence" while the jury was celebrating
and that the trial judge had suggested
that Frank be absent when the verdict
was rendered. The state argued that
the prisoners attorney assented to his
absence.
Franks attorneys announced to-day
that they would Immediately appeal to
the United States Supreme Court.
The body OF Mary Phagan, fourteen
years old, was found April q, 1918, IN
the basement of local pencil factory
where she had been employed. Two days
later Frank. superintendent Of the fac
tory, was arrested, and on May the
coroners jury ordered him held for the
grand jury.
On May "a James Conley. a negro
sweeper in the factory, made an al
legged confession. rs accessory after the
fact Of the murder. accusing Frank as
the principal. Conley now is serving
twelve months on the chain gang for
his part in the crime.
After his conviction Frank was SEN
tcnced to be hanged October 10, 1913,
but execution of the sentence was
stayed by the filing OF a motion for a
new trial That motion was overruled
by the State Supreme Court on Febru-
airy II. 1914. and Frank was resen-
fenced. However, on April rs an ex-
traordinary motion for a new trial was
filed. and again execution was stayed.
That motion was overruled Dy tn
Supreme Court, but before that deci-
sion was announced the motion 20 set
aside the verdict on grounds of VIC
lation Of the constitutional rights Of
the accused was made.

HAMMERSTEIN NEW
PLAYHOUSE CLOSES
Theatre, That Cost Sl,000,000,
May Be Taken Over for
Motion Pictures.

Oscar Hammerstein's new theatre. a.
Lexington av. and 5lst ST.. built at a
cost Of more than 81 100000 and opened
little more than two months ago, will.
close its doors tonight. No provision
has been made for its reopening, but il
is understood that Mr.. Hammcrstein
will sever his connection with the ven
ture.
The theatre was built for the avowed
purpose OF presenting grand opera, but
the programmes to date have consisted
largely of motion pictures and selec-
tions from operas. Recently vaudeville
was installed, but the patronage failed
TO pick up.
Fred L. Bernage. manager of the the
atre, said last night that the future of
the house is uncertain. II Is under
stood that the theatre will be taken
over by motion picture producing
company, which will present films Of
its own manufacture.

MALONE SHUNS CLUB RACE
Refuses to Run for President
of Democratic Body.

Collector Malone denied yesterday
that he had entered the race for presl-
dent Of the National Democratic Club
against John NJ. Richie, who will un-
doubtedly have the backing OF the
Tammany element in the organization.
IL is probable that another anti
Tammany man will be selected to make
the race for the place that is TO be
given up by Edward F. 0'Dwyer, CHER
justice of the City Court, at the an
nual election. which comes on the first
Tuesday in December. His administra-
ton has been marked by strong anti
Tammany movement and the dropping
of Charles F. Murphy and four other
prominent Tammany men for the
ostensible reason that they were be-
hind in their dues.
"A committee waited on me and told
me that the nominating committee OF
the Democratic Club unanimously OF
fered me the nomination for the presi-
dency." said Mr.. Malone. 81 deeply ap-
preciated the offer. but was compelled
TO refuse because did not feel free TO
add to my present burdens and re-
sponsibilities.'
