ed victim, and circumstances seemed
in some slight degree to sustain the
negro's testimony.
Frank was placed on trial last Au-
gust Public Indignation was still al
white heat. The trial was perhaps the
longest, and certainly the most sensa-
tional. that ever occurred in the South.
The jury found Frank guilty. A new
trial was refused. The presiding Judge
stated in his refusal that he had been
unable to make up his mind as to wheth-
er the man was guilty or innocent, but
that the determination Of that question
was in the province of the jury, and the
jury had declared him guilty. The Su-
preme Court was appealed to, and that
court decided that no error had been
committed sufficient to Justify setting
aside the jury's verdict. Frank is under
sentence of death. He is to be hanged
on April II dnles execution Of the SEN
tence is delayed.
Is Frank Guilty:
The Journal cares absolutely nothing
about Frank or those who were engaged
in his defense or prosecution. il Frank
is found guilty after q fair trial he
ought to be hanged, and his case should
be made a horrible example to those who
would DESTROY human life for generations
to come.
rs Frank guilty of the murder Of Mary
phagan? We do not know. He may be
guilty or ne nav be innocent. He may
be a fiend incarnate. or he, may be the
victim of 4 cruel conspiracy. Whether
he is innocent or guilty is not the ques-
ton.
Leo Frank has not had a fair trial.
,yir and his
death without a fair trial and legal con-
yicition will amount to judicial murder.
ut was rot within the power OF human
Judges and human lawyers and human
juries to decide impartially and without
fear the guilt or innocence OF an accused
man under the. circumstances that sur
rounded this trial. The very atmosphere
of the courtroom was charged with an
electric current of indignation before the
very eyes of the jury. The courtroom
and streets were filled with an angry, de-
termined crowd, ready to seize the de-
fendant IL the jury had not found him
guilty.
"Cheers for the prosecuting counsel
were irrepressible throughout the trial,
and the unseemly demonstrations In con-
demnation of Frank were heard by the
Judge and jury. The judge was power
less to prevent these outbursts in the
courtroom. and the police were unable to
control the crowd outside.
$50 great was the danger that the
Fifth Regiment of the National Guard
was kept under arms throughout the
greater part of the night, ready to rush
on a moments warning to the protection
Of the defendant.
TT was known that verdict Of ae-
quittaI would cause a riot such as would
shock the country and cause Atlanta's
streets to run with innocent blood. Under
such indescribable conditions Frank was
tried and convicted"

DECLARES NEWSPAPER
Atlanta Journal Prints Long Editorial
Favoring New Trial for Con-
victed Man.
VICTIM OF PEOPLES FURY

Atlanta, Ga. March IA two-column
editorial in the Atlanta Journal asking
a new trial for Leon NJ. Frank, convicted
of killing Mary Phagan, is regarded as
significant by those interested in the case.
The Journal says Frank was not fairly
tried and convicted and that his execution
under the present sentence would amount
to murder.
Frank was a happy man when he read
the editorial in his cell. Showing more
emotion than he had exhibited at any
time before. he exclaimed:
Thank God. The light seems to be
breaking. / have always believed that
my appeals for a square deal would

lust how / was convicted, and the edi-
torial bears out every contention in re-
gard to the trial that has been made
by my attorneys"
The Journal says:
.on April s6, 1918, in the city of
Atlanta, in a building situated on one
of the most crowded thoroughfares, a
young girl. just breaking into woman
hood, was cruelty and brutally mur-
ldered. The crime was enveloped in

aroused public indignation to a degree
of frenzy almost inconceivable- An irre-
sponsible. drunken negro charged Leo
Frank with the crime. He related in
minute and nauseating detail the horrible
circumstances surrounding the murder.
No other victim could be discovered. and
in the absence of convincing evidence
against nobody else public fury gradu-
ally centered on Frank.
las time went on, the mystery deep
ened. There was no satisfying circum-
stances indicating that Frank committed
the crime. and It required the negro's tes-
timony to furnish even basis for the
accusation. The fact that this horrible
crime had been committed, and no other
victim could be discovered. was alone
sufficient TO cause the negro's testimony
to he accepted by the public. He would
not have been believed under other con-
ditions, but an outraged public demand

The chief witness on the side against
