HulltZerS daughter, or OchS daughter, or
Golfers daughter, would Leo Frank be the
subject of propaganda of libelous misrep-
resentatlons of the people of Georgia.
1t hasn't been SO long ago, since Golfers
published the SANDER on Southern white
women, in which the editor alleged that the
qchite ao0nae21 accused negro men of rape. TO
HIDE THE SHANE OF CONSENT!
Having champloned the negro rapist against
the Southern white woman, let Golfers now
demonstrate what it can do for an abnormal
Sodomlte, who comes as near carrying 1t on
has face, as any lasciviolls degenerate ever did.
No innocent white man ever feared to face
guilty negro bit frank reused to face Con-
tey before witnesses. In guilty terror, Frank
shrunk from conversation in which old Jim
Conley might remind him of details known
only to those two and to which Frank might
not be able to extemporise denial, or an ex-
PLANTATION.
No innocent man would have gone to the
Morgue tecicc, and, when there, been utterly
unable to look upon the dead girls face.
Frank shudderingly shrunk away from the
corpse, just as he shrunk from mentioning her
name, IN his newspaper articles, until after
The Jefersonian had called attention to the
psychological significance Of the omission.
Then, in his set speech before Judge Hill,
he not only parades her name, but parades
his delayed sympathy for her parents!
William J. Burns knows that he has dis
credited himself, and he is now using G. p
Connolly as his megaphone. c. P Connolly
is flooding the country with literature, finely
gotten up On glossy paper, and illustrated by
a cut of the horribly sensual face of Leo
Frank.
The purpose is to divide public opinion,
create mawl1ish sentiment and manufacture
a sympathy which will influence the auth0ri-
ties The most outrageous misrepresentation
about the Atlanta ''mob," and the Atlanta mill
itary, and the terrorizing of the Jury, are be-
ing recklessly circulated, to save as guilty q
man as was ever arraigned and to besmirch
a State whose laws, juries and judges are no.
torlously inclined to the utmost verge of le-
niency
There is no Big Money to push the case
against Leo Frank There were honest At
lanta policemen, an honest Pinkerton detec-
tive, some white girls and white men who
could neither be bulIied nor bought; twelve
honest Jurors in the box and just judge on
the bench an able fearless and energetic
Sohcitor-General as the States representative;
and chain Of proved facts and circumstances,
which apart from negro evidence, excluded
every other reasonable hypothesis, save that
of the defendants guilt.
Leo Frank and Mary Phagan, the pursuer
and the pursued, the hawk and the dove, the
wolf and the lamb-there they are The
bones of the little Georgia Girl are Wondering
in the ground, and Leo Frank poses for an
other photograph and composes another state
ment, and his rich, powerful champions de-
clare defantly that he will not be punished!
May the Almighty source Of Justice and Of
power, give to the Governor Of Georgia the
strength to Withstand all Establishments, all
influences all mawlIish appeals and to stand
firm, BY THE Ia ", and do his duty, as the
jurors and the judges have done theirs.
