In reply to the usual query by the
court, if he had any reason to give
why sentence should not De passed
upon, Leo Frank, charged with the
murder of Mary Phagan, l4-year-
old factory girl, made the following
statement;
May it please your honor this is d
momentous day-a day of far greater
Importance to the state Of Georgia
and to the majesty of the law even
than to myself, for, under the guise
of law your honor is about to pro
nounce words that will condemn to
death an innocent man.
"Transcending in importance the
loss of my own life is the indelible
stain and dishonor resting upon the
name of this state by reason of its
judicially numbering an innocent man.
The jury's verdict of August 25, 1919.
finding me guilty of the death of
Mary Phagan, did not then and does
not now speak the truth. | declare
to your honor and to the world that
that verdict was made in an atmo-
sphere seething with mob violence
and clamor for my life-a verdict
based on evidence absolutely false.
which under other circumstan es
would not have been given a me
ment's credence.
4 deeply sympathize with the
parents Of Mary Phagan The brute
that brought so much grief upon them
has plunged me into sorrow and /.
misery unspeakable and is about to
accomplish my undoing."

self-made man and millionaire. In
the opening act. he has asked James
and Fanny and Virginia to his
sumptuously appointed apartment toI
a dinner party, and at the end of it
he has asked Virginia to marry him
81 don't Know that love you he
tells her but if love means wanting
to be tender to you wanting you al
ways near me, and desire to protect
you, then | love you.
Virginias acceptance furnishes the
theme for the title-she is bought
and paid for.
After their marriage, Virginia finds
she loves Stafford when he is himself.
He shares, with most Of his brothers,
a belief that he can drink wisely
and that he knows just when to
stop but he drinks often and much,
and when he reels home to her and
bees for her kisses and forces his
embraces upon herr Virginia finds
him revolving Finally driven to
desperation, Virginia spurns him. He
reminds her, then, that she is a bar
gain-bought and paid for-and taunts
her with her position before she
married him.
For all of this there are just az
many hearty laughs as there are
tense moments, when you sit on the
edge of your seat, living over with the
actor every emotion he is portray
ing.
