MRS. MITCHELL SILSBY

The whole community was shocked
Friday morning to hear of the sud-
den death of Mrs. Mitchell Silsby.
She had been in poor health for a
year but was able to be about during
her work, even riding out the day
before. Her husband and son had
left about two hours before, driving
to Lyndonville to attend al funeral.
Atneighbor going in discovered her
in the pantry, standing at her sacake-
board apparently unconscious, and
upon speaking to her she sank to the
floor dead. A good woman has gone.
She leaves to mourn her loss the
husband, two sons, Henry and Mar
shall, one daughter, Mrs. Floris
Nichols, one sister, Mrs. Hannah
Lee, and five grandchildren.

Frank SAT IN his cell and the parry
of newspaper men sat outside, in the
barred vestibule Frank was smoking
"a dark, large cigar of un-9odied to-
bacco

inquired. Hospitality 81 have cigars

he shrugged his shoulders meaninely.
But great detective is free TO in

be the way of a State official"
And then Leo Frank came to his
own theory.
Here Is His Theory.

His eyes were lit with earnest
ness as he said: THAT was the
only physical fact that they had
to connect me with the crime.
That was the one circumstance
on which the State relied to
prove that the murder was ON

on the solicitor or Dr. Harris. II is
not for me to question their motives.
| only can say that i'm its effects It

that made the jury believe that the
murder was on the second tloor The
testimony about the blood amounted
to nothing, The States own expert
witness, DR.. Claude A. Smith, showed
that clearly enough when he said that
only three or four corpuscles which
might have been there a year-were
revealed by his careful analysis. and
this on only one Of the discolored
chips. He would not even say that
it was human blood
And over all, Frank professed his un
shaken belief that the people of Geor
ga would see to It that Justice was
done" and that his innocence ulti-
mately would be established.
Let me not be personal in this dis
cussion,' said Frank, in opening
his statement 81 would even hone

Frank broke off abruptly; then re-
sumed.
You can see how It is There is
not much glory to be gained by con-

But the man higher up'-ah, gentle

1t was Frank himself who referred
to the confession" Of Mrs Formby in
New York; that she had been coerced
and tricked into the statement con-
cerning his perversion. He lifted his
hands in protest.
