S|OOO FOR EVIDENCE |N|M|CAL ID FRANK OFFERED IS CLAIMED
Atlanta Woman Says She Was Offered Bribe-FOur Other Affidavits Are
 Introduced

Atlanta. March 14.--The charge that she was offered 5000 if she would give testimony inimical to Leo M. Frank superintendent of the National Pencil company, under sentence of death for the murder of Mary Pha- gan. 14-year-old factory employe. was made here today in affidavit by Mrs. Hattie Miller.
 Four other affidavits also were made public by counsel for the de : fense, who are collecting information to be used in connection with an ex- traordinary motion for new trial for the convicted man. The general intent of the affidavits. according to the de- fense, is to show that an attempt was made to manufacture evidence against the factory superintendent.
 Mrs Miller in her affidavit said she formerly worked at the National Pen cil company's factory, where she knew Leo M. Frank, and that in June, 1913, about two months after the murder, she was visited by man who said he wag A. s. Colyar. According to hcr statement he told her that if she would testify that Frank made certain pro- posals to her she would be given 5000.
 Deny Connections
 Prosecution officials tonight denied that they Lad any connection with any of the efforts set forth In the affi- davits to obtain untrue testimony. No man named as A. s. Colyar. they said. had any connection with the prose- |cution.
 Miss I.illie Mae Pettis, one of the other fou, affiants, made affidavit that James Conley, the negro factory em- ploye convicted of being an accessory after the sact in the murder, had made advances toward her. The defense con tends that Conley was the factory girls murderer instead of Frank. Frank to- day issued statement criticizing New port Lanford, chief of detectives in the local police department, for the dec laration attributed to him in which he said that Coniey told the truth on the witness stand in Franks trial and that other statements which might be ob : tained from the negro by detectives would not be credited by him.
 The convicted man points out that according to him the chief of detect ives has admitted falsity in portions of past affidavits made by Conleya at the

To you who have achieved, many

you who are facing success on a Sc

ers whom the angel OF grief through
the passing years has folded in so

counting with self. 1t is only through
such accountings that men and women
find themselves, learn to know them
selves and, knowing. become what
they should be.
Rev. DR.. Talmage used to tell the
story of young man who annually de-
voted New Years eve to a review OF
the year ended, concluding with reso-
lutions which he seldom kept for any
great length of time. Lying lazily back
in a comfortable Morris chair, this
young man would smoke a cigar, think
over the year, and make his resolves.
One New Years eve he thought and
smoked until, half dreaming, he
fancied he saw In the smoke as 1t
curled upward the word RESOLUTIONS"
His fancy led him to serious considera-
ton of how many of his resolutions
had really gone up in smoke. He was
astounded, and made one supreme re-
solve that they should no longer end
in smoke.
Each time he told this story Doctor
Talmage assured his hearers that this
young man was today one of the fore
most business men Of New York city,
a factor in its commercial life and a
Powerful agent for good in many direc.
tions. The reverend gentleman made
the point that although resolutions
may be made only to be broken, the
time must come in the life Of every
man'and woman when they make one
supreme resolve which is the making
of themselves. Therefore Doctor Tai
mage always declared that he favored
New Year resolutions even though
they would be broken, because he knew
that in the end they would result In
something really worth while.

New Years Gifts.

The New Years gift no doubt orig.

giving and taking was carried to such
an extravagant degree during all the
1865 days of the year that Emperor
Claudius prohibited the demanding Of
presents except on New Years day;
but the practice continued for many
years. In England and Scotland the
sixteenth century customs are numer
Gus, and many Of them are strangely
childish. In Scotland it was perfectly
allowable to ask for a New Years
gift, and Henry the Third Is said to
have extorted presents in plate and
other valuables; while Queen Eliza.
