new FRANK MOTION
ATTACKS SOLICITOR
Witnesses Swear They Were
Misled and inundated Into
Testifying Falsely.

ATLANTA, March 2f.--Attorreys for
Leo NJ. Frank. under sentence OF
death for the murder OF Mary Phagan,
formally notified Solicitor General Hugh
N. Dorsey to-day that on April Is. the
day before the date set for his execution,
AN extraordinary motion for a new trial
for Frank will he filed.
A copy OF the motion which will be
filed with the court was also served on
the solicitor This motion Is replete with
attacks on the solicitor and the city de-
tectv.s and much new evidence is set
out In IL.
A half dozen new witnesses to establish
an alibi for Frank. twice as many more
to testify to the shaping Of testimony
by the solicitor and detectives and many
others whose evidence tends to throw the
suspicion OF guilt upon Jim Conley. are
named Ia the formal notice.
Positive declarations that they saw
Frank at whitehall and Alabama streets
between :03 and :05 o'clock the after
noon OF the mui der are made by Samuel
A. pard"e. sales manager for tn. Cotton
States Betting and supply Company a
Mrs. Jsne and Mis-. Ethel Harris Miller.
prisoner.
a large number OF the girl witnesses
who testified to Franks alleged bad char
scter have rcpudiated their testimony and
they are represented as having been over
Influenced. intimldated or misled INTO
giving the testimony.
Most important OF the regulations Ia
probably that OF e. Brutus Dalton. who
testified on the stand that he had seen
women IN Franks Office o. saturday
afternoons. In making his reputation
he declares he WAS led 10 tell lies by the
detectives and the solicitor and that AS "a
matter of fact ne never knew Frank to
be intimate with women In the factory.
Albert Mcknight and others who gave
damaging evidence against Frank repu-
dlate their testimony. Mcknight alleges
he swore against Frank because he was
promised part OF the reward In case OF
Franks conviction.
The motion contains nothing Of the re-
searches Of Detective william J. Burns
and 1t is inferred that the service OF the
notice Is merely TO nx and hold the date
for the hearing. as any other new evil
derce that may be obtained In the Inter
vcning period may he added To the origi-
nal motion.

CONDITION Of COTTON
IN TENNESSEE GOOD

The Commercial Appeals cot
ton crop report of last Monday
from sixteen West Tennessee
counties shows the acreage to be
104 and condition SO per cent of
normal. The report states that
the ground has been prepared
and seed planted in soil that was
in good condition.
In Texas steady rains have
rendered the condition the worst
ever known there, according to
most correspondent is. Good
weather would do much to rem
edy conditions in the big state,
but'it is doubtful if all damage
can be thoroughly repaired.
Plant health is generally pretty
good, but cool weather has re-
tarded growth to some extent.
However, the crop outside of
Texas, Oklahoma and Western
Arkansas, is somewhat earlier
than last year.

HENRY COUNTY RICH
IN MINERAL DEPOSITS

From we'll substantiated re-
ports it seems that Henry county
is rich in mineral deposits.
Some time since a valuable de-
posit Of Ignite was discovered in
the vicinity of Cottage Grove.
The Ignite has not yet been min
ed to any extent on account of a
lack of shipping facilities. Lig-
mite is used largely by manufac-
tories where a fierce, intense
heat is needed and a strong fore
ed draught can be obtained. The
N. c. & st. L. Ry., has made
preliminary surveys for a spur
to be run from Whitlock, in this
county, to Cottage Grove, in or
der to get some valuable shipping
and to give the owners an outlet
for the shipping of this Ignite.
In the eastern section of this
county coal has been discovered
and has been tested and found
to be of good quality. There has
not been made any extensive in
vestigation as to the extent of
the deposits of coal, but it is
talked that a company will be
organized and a spur will be run
to the site of the proposed mines
if there is a deposit of sufficient
extent to warrant it.
A local chemist, while out on a
pleasure trip near Paris, discov-
cred some rock which he pro-
nounced to be good phosphate
rock. Samples have been sent
to the best laboratories to deter
mine the value of the phosphate
deposits, and in the meantime
the chemist has secured, we un-
derstand, options on the property
near the discovery.
Henry county has for the past
ten years been recognized as the
home of the best and most ex-
tensive deposits of ball, sagger
and wad clays and annually hun
dreds of car loads of these clays
are being shipped to the large
potteries of the country. 1t seems
that Henry county bids fair to
be recognized as a mining section
as we'll as an agricultural one.

BECKER FOUND GUILTY
FIRST DEGREE MURDER

On Friday of last week twelve
men decided for he second time
that Charles Becker was the
conspirator responsible for the
murder, which nearly two years
ago awoke New York to a reali-
zation of corruption in the police
reform in that city.
Becker, once a police lieutenant,
was found guilty of murder in
the first degree. Only a pardon
or interference again by the
court of appeals can save him
from following to the electric
chair the four gunner who shot
Herman Rosenthal, the gambler,
early on the morning of July. 16,
1912. The jury today decided
that the gunner were Becker's
agents.
One ballot decided Becker's
fate.

in connection with the work of
commercial organizations. H e
came to Paris upon invitation
from our business men, who de-
sired inform alton from one so
ripe in years of experience. His
remarks were timely, to the
point and were based on facts
born of practical experience.
Col. Fletcher was followed by
Mr.. R. S. Fletcher, Jr. president
of the Jackson association, who
gave the business men some val
liable particulars concerning the
work and the benefits that will
be derived from an organization
of this character.
Mr.. J. M. farrell, of Hum
boldt, one of the promoters of
che Humboldt Business Mems
Club, was invited to the floor for
a speech. He reviewed briefly
the splendid work of his organi-
zation since it's formation less
than two years ago. He stated
that more miles of good dirt road
had been constructed in his coun.
ty (Gibson) through the we'll
organized efforts of this young
organization in the last eighteen
months than had ever been done
before. He also explained the
numerous other ways in which
the organization had been of
material benefit to his city and
county.
The other speakers of the
evening who were present upon
invitation were Messrs Ross,
member of the M. & M. Asso-
citation, Jackson; Mr.. Foust, Sec
retary of the Business Mems
Club, Hu mboldt, and Mr.. Jno. R.
Rison, of Paris.
Each of the speakers laid much
The Parisian. (Paris, Tenn.) 1907-1962, 1914-05-29

stress upon the all-important
matter of community co-opera-
ton and concert of action.
At the conclusion of the ad-
dresses a motion was offered by
Gen. J. w. Lewis to circulate a
petition in the audience asking
all those who fe.vored the perma-
nent organization of a business
mems club in Paris to sign same.
Practically every man in the
room signed this petition.
The Chairman was then in
structed to appoint a soliciting
committee of five gentlemen to
call on the business and profes-
sional men of the city who were
not present and solicit their
signatures to the said petition
favoring permanent organization.
A motion to adjourn and to
meet again Friday evening, May
10Th, at which time a permanent
organization is to be effected,
carried.
Thus the preliminary work of
putting on foot the establishment
of an active commercial, indus
trial and civic organization in
the city of Paris was concluded.
The committee of solicitors will
call upon every man in the city,
who has business connection here,
with the petition above mention
ed, and it is earnestly hoped that
all will sign it. Then let every
public-spirited, progressive citi-
zen of Paris attend tonight's
meeting and take an active part
in the proceedings. You simply
can't afford to stay out and then
ask your neighbors to do the
things destined to help you.
1t is only in this way that we
will ever be able to teach oul
dollars to have more cents.
