Say Dorsey Knew
Test Settled Issue.

DR.. Harris knew that, and he
knew it was not Mary Phagan's
hair. An intelligent man like Mr..
Dorsey knew, without being told.
that the microscope would, and did,
settle the matter. To that end he
employed DR.. Harris. DR.. Harris
settled the matter. and Mr.. Dorsey
knew he had settled 1t.
1t is equally certain that the
opinions of non-expert witnesses is
of little or no value in determining
whether two samples OF hair came
from the same or different persons.
In a contest with the microscopes
such opinions are absolutely worth
less. No two men knew this any
better than DR. Harris and the So
licitor Both of them knew that
DR. Harris examination settled the
matter, for when Harris told the
Solicitor that the hair was not Mary
Phagan's--that 1t differed from hers
in shade, shape and texture-the
Solicitor told the doctor there
would be no necessity of going fur
ther into the hair theory;

that he would let the matter end
there"
With this certain knowledge in
the face of DR.. Harris and the So
hcitor the Frank trial was begun,
Mr.. Dorsey, being the Solicitor rep
resenting the State. and DR.. Harris,
secretary of the State Board OF
Health. the leading expert witness.
During the trial, and for months
thereafter DR. Harris concealed the
fact that he knew that the hair
found in the factory was not Mary
Phagan's hair, although he must
have known that the Solicitor was
contending, with all his force, from
the beginning to the end Of the case,
that the hair found was the hair of
Mary Phagan and was strong
physical evidence of Franks guilt.
1t is therefore nonsense to say
that he did not consider the mat
ter a material one! Why was he
experimenting as to the hair? Sure
ly not to kill time. He must have
known the States contention!
Newspapers Were
Full of This.
He must have known II the hair
was Mary Phagan's that fact would
hurt Frank; and II not, 1t would
aid him. The papers were fun OF
this. Scarcely was there an in
telligent man or woman in the city
who did not appreciate It's mate
riality. Is it possible that this
learned, expert witness stood alone
in his ignorance as to the impor-
tance of the experiments he was
making? Such a thing is, of course,
possible; but If so, a possibility
close to the miraculous.
The doctor can not say he was
not asked. When on the witness
stand Mr.. Arnold, for the defense,
asked him the following questions
Harris Said Not
To Have Mentioned Hair.
q. What did he (the Solicitor)
tell you to examine referring to
the examination Of Mary Phagan's
body)? What parts of the body
did he tell you to eXhume?'
%. What did you have in your
own mind? What were you work
ing to determine by the autopsy?
What did you understand you were
seeking?"
Can there be any doubt that
these questions covered DR.. Harris
examination of the hair? To con-
+ tend otherwise is the shallowest
Quibbling not to be resorted to in a
case involving life and death.
Dr. Harris answered these ques-
tions without once mentioning the
subject of hair. AS to other parts
of the body examined, he went into
the minutest details.
Contention
Is Called Silly.
Concede, however as we can not,
that Harris was ignorant of the i'm
portance of this hair. What about
the Solicitor? He knew its i'm
portance, and he knew that the hair
found in the factory was not Mary
Phagan's hair He knew, as DR..
Harris knew, that this hair was
put under-one of the best micro
scopes, and that it had been demon
strated beyond doubt that it was
not Mary Phagan's hair.
And yet, with that knowledge, he
showed by Barrett that he found
hair, and that by Magnolia Ken
nedy that 1t looked like Mary's hair.
1t Is worse than silly to say that
these look like witnesses saw more
of the hair than did DR. Harris. He

had enough, and more than enough,
for microscopic purposes
He retained the microscopic SEQ
ton and returned the balance to the
Solicitor
Not only so. but with this knowl-
edge, the Solicitor urged in his
speech to the jury three or four diff
ferent times that this hair was
Mary Phagan's hair. He knew the
truth and, in spite of his knowledge.
urged upon the jury that this hair
was evidence of Franks guilt.
Not only so, but he made the
Supreme Court.
Harris told him the truth! He
recognized It by telling Harris that
he would let the matter end" and
vet, in the highest court of the land,
with human life at stake, he posi-
lively and emphatically states that
the finding of this hair in the fac
tory is one evidence of Franks
guilt.
Hair Specimens
Are Now Lost.
In this the Solicitor. in his zeal
misconceived his duty. The State
of Georgia sternly demands full
punishment for the guilty, but al
ways in open candor-never by con-
cealment or subterfuge.
The Solicitor says that the hair
is now lost. DR.. Harris says that
he returned the hair to the Solici-
tor. except the microscopic Sec
tions which he examined. OF course,
we can not undertake to say why,
or how, this hair was lost by the
Solicitor
It was never produced at the
trial; but that it had its weight on

dence of non-expert witnesses that
the smear seemed to be blood was
clearly of no avail as against this
accurate and unmistakable expert
testimony An honest, capable ex-
pert can tell the existence or nom
existence OF blood just the same az
a mathematician can tell that two

To determine among other
things. whether the hair was the
hair of Mary Phagan the State Cat

are informed) employed DIR. Harris,
an eminent expert DIR. Harris ex-
humed the body of Mary Phagan
and obtained some OF her hair.
with the aid of a powerful micro
scope Gas fine as there is in the
world, he says) he compared the
hair found in the factory with the
hair of Mary Phagan.
Hair Declared
Not Mary Phagans. Q.
That examination demonstrated
that the hair found was not the
hair of Mary Phagan- Il differed
from her hair in shade, shape and
texture. DR.. Harris reported that
the hair was not Mary's-that 1t
differed from Mary's in shade, TEX
ture and shape.
An honest, efflcient expert can
not be mistaken in determining
whether two samples Of hair did or
did not come from the same per-
son.
Under q powerful microscope the
difference between the hair of diff
ferent persons is almost as easily
discernible as the difference be-
tween two trees or two human
faces. Indeed, as to this. the mi

Found Blood
On Only One Chip.

DR. Smith reported that he found
blood on only one of the chips, there
being no blood on the others. DIR.
Smiths evidence was not guess
work, but was as certain as math-
ematics 1t demonstrated that the
substance appearing from the eye
to be blood was not blood; for, had
It been blood. the doctor would have
found IL on all the chips, for the
smear was equally on all the chips.
On the one chip he found only
trace Of blood, only four or Ave
corpuscles to the field, whereas =
drop of blood contains about $4,000
corpuscles.
While the doctor could demon
strate whether the sEIear was
blood or not, he could not tel
whether II was human or animal
blood, nor whether 1t had been on
the floor for days, weeks or years.

These two finds were heralded
everywhere by Franks accusers as
evidence conclusive of his guilt, and
the State put forward all its force
and power to show that the blood
and hair were the hair and blood
OF Mary Phagan.
The Solicitor, like every other

whether the hair was Mary Pha-

Editor Sunday American:
The two evening papers carried
short interview from US on Fri
day, but the admissions OF DIR. Har-
ris ought not to be passed over 50
hurriedly--the matter is toe vital,
not only to this case. but to the in
tegrity Of courts Of justice.
Very early in this case the State
adopted the theory that the murder
took place on the second floor Of the
factory Indeed, such a theory was
essential to Franks guilt.
Every effort of the State, there
fore, was bent to establish this the
ory. A man by the name Of Bar
rett claimed to find on that floor
what he contended to be blood spots
and a few strands Of hair. which
were asserted to be Mary Phagan's
hair, hanging to a lathe.
