THE .JEFFERSONIAN

verdict by the Atlanta mob
This attempt at misleading sympathetic
public is on par with the efforts made to
suppress testimony, to brighten those girl wit
nesses, to buy UP the Reverend Ragsdale and
his deacon.

started in Atlanta. It is on par with Will

The State Of Georgia and it's Judiciary, and
the honest jurors who were sworn to try
Frank, have been vilifed, held up to scorn and
made objects of derision and hatred by ire
sponsible persons who know nothing Of the
evidence, except that Jim Conley is a negro.
The public has been gulled, again and
again, by the noisy protestations Of William
j. Burns, and by the assurance that something
wonderfully sensational would explode very
soon.
But nothing ever comes Of it. Every time
there is show down, it is the same old thing.
The same old fatal pursuit Of the girl by
Frank; the same old undisputed and dam
nable fact Of the little victim being lured back
to his private office, to get the pitiful balance
Of her pitiful wage; the same old disappear
ance of the girl, and the same old utter ina
bi1jty Of Frank to g5ve on account Of him.

The efforts to buy off witnesses shows his
guilt; the efforts to use the bought testimony
of the preacher and the deacon, shows his
guilt; the efforts to use Conley's own lawyer,
and the miserable failure to make the deal pan

And let me call your attention to one thing
that may have escaped your notice:
Frank meve1 mentions Mary Phagaes
name!
In his last careful and elaborate statement,
you couldn't tell who it was that Frank was
accused of killing.
With the instructive horror Of a guilty
man, he shrinks from the mention of that

Those who know human nature, and the
psychology of crime, cannot fail to be pro-

If Conley were offered as witness against
Governor Slaton, or against Chief Justice
Fish, the impression made by his evidence
would be entirely different from that made
when he testifes against a man who chose
him as an employee, used him in illicit COM

In his latest proclamation to the public,
Leo Frank stresses the point that the review
ing court has never passed upon the question
of his guilt, or innocence.
In other words, he asserts positively, in a
carefully prepared written statement, that
the Supreme Court of Georgia has never re-
viewed the evidence in the case
Good God! What an arrant falsehood
Every tyro In the legal profession knows
better.
In a first motion for a new trial there are
three grounds which are so invariably taken,
that even the forn-books lay them down, as
stereotyped
The defendant a1acay8 alleges that the ver-
diet was strongly and decidedly against the
evidence, against the weight Of the evidence,
and without evidence to support it.
These three grounds are as inevitably a
part of every ordinary motion for new trial,
as are the allegations of crime in the indict-
ment.
Therefore, the Supreme Court had to pass
on the evidence. The Supreme Court did
pass on the evidence. And the Court did say
that the evidence was sufficient to sustain the
verdict

Henry SIe9el stole the money under the
familiar disguise of commercial failure.
He was tried and convicted-and sentenced
to pay fine of one thousand dollars, and to
serve 8 months III prison.
Whereupon, the Pulitzer paper, The World,
admits that there :QQes seem to be in this
country one law for. th6'Tich and another for

Now, in the State of Georgia we are doing
our level best to prove that the law treats all
men alike, and the Pulitzer paper is doing
ITS best to defeat our equitable aim
The Pulitzer paper has never before sought
to dictate to our courts. Neither have the
other Hebrew papers Of the North done so.
From year to year, we have had Crimes and
have punished some of them without raising
all the racket this Frank case has raised.
For what reason is Frank entitled to special
privilege, and new code Of procedure, and
new law of evidence?
The New York World has taken sides with
the negroes, against the white people of the
South, On all OCCASIONS
The Pulitzer paper has been notorious for
that. 1t claims that the negroes are as good
as we, and that the negroes should enjoy
social and political equality,
So eXtreme@has been the Pulitzer paper on
this line thatSit sharply reproved President
Wilson in the matter of the William Monroe

The New York World virtually says that
the President deserved the insolence of the
negro delegations in that he had not inter-
fered to prevent the heads of the Departments
from requiring that the negroes use separate
Water-ClOsetS, &C.
Yet in the Frank case, the great point en-
phasized by the World and the other Jewish
papers is, that the main witness against Frank

1t seems that negroes are good enough to
kill our ballots, make our laws, hold Office
sleep in our beds, eat at our tables, marry our
daughters, and mongrelize the Anglo-Saxon
race, bWt are not good enough to bear teSt5-
meony ogajnst rich Jeac!
1t is all wrong for US to disfranchise the
negroes. all wrong for Secretaries McAdoo,
Burleson and Williams to require them to eat
IN separate restaurants, use separate wash
rooms, and go to separate toilets; all wrong
for the President to allow any difference be-
tween whites and blacks, bat no negro must
be tqZe2o as Il acitneS8 against q JeaU qch0 can

That sort of logic is a fair sample of all
the Leo Frank special pleading. None of it
will hold water None of it would be toler-
ated a minute, if there had not been such
systematic propaganda in favor of this worst
Of deliberate criminals.
From the very necessity of the case, we
have to take the evidence of negroes in some
cases-else Justice would be defeated

Philadelphia, March 23-Consecrat- ed to a mission of peace, the super dreadnought Oklahoma the latest and most powerful acquisition to the American navy, was launched today from the yard of the Now York Ship building company at Camden, N. J. Just before the big ship was given its name by Miss Leonors, Jane Cruce. daughter of the governor of Oklahoma Bishop E. E. Ross of Muskogee, Okla. in a brief invocation dedicated the dreadnought to the "errands of peace and Christianity" The invocation was at the suggestion Of Mrs. Reynold Hall, president of the Ship Sponsors society. and it was said to be the first time in more than half a century that a battlesf1ip launching was preceded by prayer.
 When Miss Cruce, carrying a large bunch of American beauty roses, broke a bottle of champagne against the prov of the giant sea fighter and said 'I christen thee Oklahoma" the big crowd sent up cheers which continued until the vessel had g1ided far out into the Delaware river. Afterward the sponsor was presented with a diamond studded bracelet the gift Sf the build efA
