Exceptions to the Rule.
We come now to consider the ex-
ceptions to the general rule declaring
the admisslbility of evidence of the
conduct of the accused in othert rams
actions or of the commission of crimes
other than the one for which he is on
trial. In the recent work of Wharton
on Criminal Evidence" section 81,
volume 1, tenth edition. the excep-
lions are set forth as follows:
Relevancy as part of res gestae.
Relevancy to prove identity of per-
son or crime.
Relevancy to prove scienter or giul-
ty knowledge.
Relevancy to prove intent.
Relevancy to show motive.
Relevancy to prove system.
Relevancy to prove malice.
Relevancy to rebut special defense.
Relevancy in various particular
crimes.
Opinion of Majority Attacked.
In the opinion of the majority of
the court, 1t is sought to be shown
that the evidence of the witness Con-
ley as to the conduct of Frank with
other women on different occasions
prior OF the killing of Mary Phagan
was admissible because fallinS within
two of the well-recognized exceptions
to the general rule which excludes
evidence as to other offenses than the
one for which the defendant is being
tried.
1t is urged that the evidence of
Conley falls within the exception to
show motive and also within the ex-
ception to prove scheme, plan or
system. In the prevailing opinion 1t
is said:
I'VE think that the evidence was
admissible both on the subject of mo-
tive and OF plan, scheme or system"

LEO FRANK CALM
WHEN HE HEARS
HE HAS LOST
Wife, Father-in-Law and DR..
David Marx Call on Prisoner
Hour After Ruling.

Leo Frank, in his cell at the Full
ton County Tower, received the news
that the Supreme Court had refused
to grant him a new trial with the
calmness and resignation that has
characterized his attitude since the
beginning of the famous case. He
was told of the decision by DR.. David
cousin, who arrived at the Tower at
11:40 o'clock, more than an hour after
the decision was handed down, and
went direct to Franks cell.
At IL o'clock, Mrs. Frank and her
brother, Montague Sellg. entered the
Tower. accompanied by two other
relatives of the condemned man.
Mrs. Frank was pale. but composed,
and her eyes were red, as though she
had been weeping. The party went
direct TO the cell, joining Rabbi Marx
and Mr.. Lowe.
Father in Law at Jail.
Half an hour later, Emil Selig, Mrs
Franks father, arrived and was
shown to the cell. Mr.. Selig refused
to make any comment on the decision
of the court.
Rabbi Marx and Mr. Lowe, ac-
companied by two other members of
the party, came down from Franks
cell after spending 40 minutes. They
refused to make any comment on the
case, or give the newspaper men any
idea of Franks attitude when he
was told of the decision,
II was stated authoritatively, how
ever. that Frank received the news
calmly and was the least moved per-
son in the cell.
The group that came down into the
office of the Tower first, including
DR.. Marx and Mr.. Lowe and the
others appeared solemn but deter
mined to keep up their spirits.
Mrs. Frank Remains at Jail.
Mrs. Frank and her father re-
mained with Frank for several hours.
and emphatically refused to discuss
the case
Frank was given an inkling that
the fight had gone against him fully
an hour before Rabbi Marx or any
of his relatives arrived at the Tower.
To reporters who asked for a state
ment at 10:40 o'clock, Frank sent
back word that he could see no one
and had no statement to make. To
the jailor he said:
It's just another rumor. / don't
believe a decision has been rendered
yet"
NJ. F.. Goldstein, a close personal
friend of Frank and law partner of
Frank Hooper, of the prosecution,
entered the Tower at 1925 o'clock
and spent Is minutes in the cell with
Frank, his wife and Mrs. Franks
father.
Frank Calm, Says Visitor.
When he left at 1880 he declared
that Frank was perfectly calm and
confident that in the end justice
would triumph and he would be freed.
Frank received the news as calmly
as though 1t were an everyday event"
said Mr.. Goldstein. He is perfectly
composed, and confident that he will
be ultimately cleared of all suspicion
Of guilt. His wife shares his conf
dence. She is of course shaken by
the decision, but she is composed and
calm.
II do not understand how an abso-
lutely innocent man can be ultimate
ly convicted of any crime, much less

charged against Frank. l am conf
dent that the highest courts viii re

preme Court and give Frank another
trial"
Mr.. Selig, Franks father-in-law
left the Tower at 1915 O'Clock, after
spending more than an hour in the
cell with Frank and his wife. Mr.
Selig refused to make any statement
beyond declaring that none of Frank :
attorneys had yet called on him and
he didn't know when they were com
ing to the Tower.

Hope For Bald
Heads
Well Known Politician Nearly
Bald Now Has Heavy
Growth of Hair.
Tells How He Did It.

A Western politician, well known
on account of his badness and his
ready wit, surprised his friends by
appearing with a heavy growth of
hair3 many of his friends did not
know him, and others thought he had
a wig. On being asked how he did
1t, he made the following statement:
81 attribute the growth of my hair to
the following simple recipe which any
lady or gentleman can mix at home:
To a half pint of water add 1 ounce
of Bay Rum, a small box of Barbo
Compound and Il ounce of GIycerine.
Apply to the scalp two or three times
week with the finger tips 1t not
only promotes the growth of the hair,
but removes dandruff, scalp humors
and prevents the hair from falling
out. 1t darkens streaked, faded, gray
hair and makes the hair soft and
glossy. These ingredients can be
purchased at any drug store at very
little cost and mixed at home"

her home in the afternoon and left there
at o'clock for Monterey. I had an
appointment to meet Miss Smith at the
point where ] killed her, near the septic
tank, at O'Clock and she arrived there
at that time. She brought with her some
lunch, including some figs and pears, and
she had her steamer robe tied up with
heavy fish cord.
II told her that was going to Nevada
with another woman to marry her, and
then she got angry and started to tussle
with me.
Il saw an abalone shell nearby and
picked 1t up, striking her on the head
with it. 1 did this to protect myself.
After this l took the fish cord that was
around her steamer robe and tied it
around her neck. I strangled her. l was
mad-wild. Then I tied her feet. I sat
with the body until it was nearly day
light, and then I dug hole and buried
her"

he came to Monterey after he buried
the body and endeavored to cash a check
for $252.22, which he said Miss Smith
gave him. The disappearance of the
artist was then reported to Sheriff Ne
