he declared dramatically, when he was
sentenced the second time. "The state
of Georgia will have my life taken as
a blood atonement for the poor little
girl who was ruthlessly killed by an
other"
Frank has maintained at all times
that he did not kill the girl.
Frank s birthplace was Paris. Texas.
His father and mother moved to Brook
lyn, N. Y, while he was still baby
Qnd he was brought up there. He grad.
uated from Cornell university and
moved to Atlanta six years ago. He
married Jewess two years later and
made a permanent home. He became
prominent in Jewish church and social
life and was at one time president of
the Atlanta Society of b Mai Birth.
He was of slight build, with dark
hair and eyes. He wears large glasses
and appears to be of studious disposi.
tion. AS superintendent of the Ma
tional Pencil Factory, he was respect
ed
Mary Phagan, the murdered girl, was
IA, but advanced in development and
considered extremely pretty. She was
employed in the factory where Frank
was superintendent. She was the step
daughter Of j. W. Coleman, her father
having died and her mother remarked
She had sister and brother.
The principal witness against Frank
was James Conley, negro, employed
as sweeper in the pencil factory
Conley told the story that Frank had
compelled him to help dispose of the
girls body after he had seen Frank
knock the child unconscious and
strangle her. Conley was convicted OF
being an accessory ana served one veal
in the Georgia penitentiary. Conley
declared Frank was guilty of many i'm
moral practices and declared he was Q
degenerate, During the first trial pub
lie sentiment was so strong against
Frank that il was feared he might bC
lynched. This fear led to the arrange
ment by which he would not bC
brought into the court room when the
verdict was returned. And this ar
rangement formed the basis for his ap
peal to the higher courts on the ground
that he had been denied one of his con
stitutional rights--thOt of being in the
court room at every stage Of the pro
ceedngs.
The verdict Of guilty was followed
by monster demonstration which was
participated in by thousands of peo
pie.
Then came the long fight through
different courts and the ultimate fail
ure.
The murder, whoever committed it
was a most brutal one. Mary Phagar
left her home ON the afternoon Of Sat
urday, April 26, 1913. The Confederate
Memorial day was being celebrated and
the child expected to participate in the
celebration. She went to the factory
to collect a small sum which was due

been notified to call the previous day
for their pay. She arrived at the fac
tory shortly after noon. According tC

girls body in the cellar Of the factory
She had been beaten about the face,
her clothing was torn and cord was
wrapped tightly around her throat
Frank, being the last person to see
the girl alive, was closely questioned
Then Conley finally declared that
Frank killed the girl on the second
floor of the factory and finding him IN
the building compelled him to dispose
of the body
Conley was cross'examined by ape
lawyers but his story was never dis'
credited in court. The defense held 70

Silk Stocking Hint.

Silk stockings are not the luxury
they are supposed to be, if they are
cared for properly. Make it a rule to
wash them yourself, and watch for
the little holes with vigilance. Never
wear them more than two days with
out washing. Dust and perspiratiOn
are the two great enemies Of silk
stockings Leaving a soiled pair in
the clothes basket for week, in
stead Of washing them the day they
are worn, is sure to hasten the day
of their disintegration. In washing
them select a good white soap. Make
a suds in tepid water and shake them
gently in the suds. Never rub soap
directly on the stockings. Rinse
thoroughly and press i'm soft fowl
w get out as much OF the water as IL
possible. Never wiring them Hang up
on line in the house by laying the
foot over the line. Never hang them
from the tops.

These are sucking insects that infest
the young shoots OF many flowers. Or

may b. found On the young shoots On
these plants the black forms are found.
On sweet peas and roses we find the
green forms. A red form is generally
found on the golden glow. To con-
troll these insects spray the plants in

which there are many brands on the
market. A very simple remedy that
has given good results IL soap solu-

A Mean Man.

tient to whom he related the story

move some bridge work" Naturally
the dentist thought the bridge must
lie causing pain or discomfort, and he
asked if the patient was suffering.

tient is dead. But l thought the gold
in the bridge would be worth some
thing, 50 | might as well have il
taken out" NY The dentist could not
work lid any enthusiasm for the task
in prospect, it il not the pleasantest
thing to work on a dead mans mouth
but he said: Very we'll, Ill come.
But my charge for that kind Of work
is S15." This seemed to surprise the
man at the other end of the wire, but
the dentist continued, "$15 is the
cheapest | can make it. You will
probably get about 81 for the gold,
but if you want me to come at SIS
I'LL be there" There was a silence
for moment, the price was evident
ly prohibitive- Then thu voice came
again Tive changed nay mind he
said. ill guess it won't be worth
while for you to come. Anyway, sup
pose it's hardly the right thing to
do" So the dentist hung up the

WILD ANIMAL TRADE
Prices Have Greatly Advanced Since
THE War Began.

Balloons, sealions, alligators, polar
bears and similar animals have gen
orally doubled in price since the wal
began, according to London dealers
If the war has not succeeded in re-
ducing England to actual hardship as
far as food supplies go, it has GER
tainly played havoc with the stocks
OF live seals, grizzlies, skunks and
other foreign things i'm fur and feath-
III that inhabit the public ZOOS of the
BIZ cities.
The scarcity in animals, 1t Is &
planned, is due to the fact that none
are coming from Germany, which,
up to last autumn, had made herself
the international clearing house and
general distributing center of wild
livestock for the whole of Europe.
In this trade, she had an advantage
in geographical situation, which en-
abled her to supply with equal ease
purchasers in Russia, Italy, Austria,
France Or England. The German
banks, also, have always been lib
eral in financing the big animal deal
ers, while in England it has some
times been almost impossible for
men in this branch of trade to OBJ
tain any considerable advances on
their stock in trade.
The United States, it is said, has
of late years been the best customer
for wild animals. The number Of
monkeys alone sent to America in
the course of a year has generally
exceeded 1000 English dealers are
making elaborate plans for perma-
nently anne1ing a large share Of the
German trade in animals.
