That's the defendants theory, as I have dug
it out Of the long articles and pamphlets and
interviews of the following patriots, to-wit-
William j. Burns. c. P. Connolly, Burton
Rascoe, A. B. Macdonald, and w. E. Thomson.
These theories have,been published in the fol-
lowing periodicals, to-wit-The Baltimore
Sun, the New York World, the St. Louis
Post dispatch, the Kansas City Star, the
Saint Paul Rural Weekly, the Chicago Tri-
bune, Golfers Weekly and Puch
[ mention Puck last, in remembrance of
who it is that came "last of ALL"
Now, if you will be patient with me, and
use your good common sense. [ will explode
that theory, to your complete satisfaction.
The blow on the girls head split her scalp
and caused bleeding Her soft. thick hair
held this blood, little while, like sponge.
But after a ro1y little while, this flow of
blood SO accumulated that, if the body was
dropped or if it lay some length of time at
any one place. the blood would show on the
floor.
Isn't that clear to your mind?
a. B. Macdonald in the Kansas City Star,
actually argues that this modest girl, on her
way down stairs. stepped aside in the direc-
ton of the scuttle-hole, Ito do her business"
and that jim Conley then sprang upon her!
No matter where he struck her, they con-
tend, as the notes sag, that he pushed her
down that hole.
How large is the hole?
just large enough to allow the passage of
one person at time, about two feet square.
Then, as Jim dragged the bleeding body
to the hole lifted the trap-door, and showed
her body through, ought there not to be some
signs Of the dragging, and some signs Of the
blood?
To find those signs. Dobbs, Starnes and
Scott carefully searched, and found none.
Then again, when the heavy bleeding body
began to fall dorm the slant Of the open lad
der, what would happen?
Mind you, it wasn't even an ordinary stair
way, slanting outward in front of the open
ing above. It was an open ladder at suffi-
Gent incline, forocord at the foot, for a person
to 90 down in safety.
Dalton sWore that he had gone down that
ladder, with a woman of a certain sort fol
lowing him, and that he had taken the woman
back i'll the basement to the trash pile.
So. it was slanting ladder, with open
rounds"
Now, if Jim had pushed that bleeding body
through the hole, it would have fallen down
the ladder, 2C0uzdnt It?
Her head would have gone humping against
the rungs, on its way down, oC0uZdnt 1t?
In a fall between the floors wouldn't that
open ladder have dreadfully beaten and
broken her face and hands, perhaps breaking
her neck and limbs?

her Constitution IN 1906, so as to deprive our
Supreme Court of the power to review the
eYIa2ncc in criminal case
Connolly assured mankind that. ever since
the fatal year 1906. our Supreme Court had
been restricted to bars questions of law, and
had not been allowed to consider the evil
dence.
[ wonder if that kind of legal Lore goes
down, IN Montana?
The veriest tyro that ever read his Black
stone ought to know, that Magma Charta
reasserted the old Saxon right of safety in
person and IN property, unless deprived there
of By duc process Of lar.
The verest new beginner at the bar ought
to know, that it is an elemental principle in all
the States, that no man can be deprived of
life liberty or property, save by due process
of law.
1t is conceivable that the people might
authorize any court and jury to infict capital
punishment, 2clth0ut appeal; but it is incon-
celvable that a court Of review should be
stripped OF authority to hold, that there IS no
due process al TAR, when the record itself
shows either that no crime has been com
mltted, or that the defendant is not connected
with it.
In such a case, a question of evidence be-
comes question Of lar.
At least, it does in Georgia don't know
how it is in Montana.
But, as a matter of fact, the Constitutional
amendment Of 1906 merely set up a new APP
pelate court, to relieve the Supreme Court.
Business had to be divided between the two
courts: and that was all the law of 1906 I'M
deltook to CO.
The Supreme Court has been continuously
passing upon the sufficiency of the evidence
just as it did prior to 1906; and the Court did
That rr1y thing IN Franks case.
Connollys theory of the Mary Phagan
murder (Which has been expanded into eIabor-
ate detail by other Hessians hired by the
Frank Finance Committee,) is, that Jim Con-
ley got drunk, that Saturday. and went to
the pencil factory to sleep it Off After he had
about slept it off he saw Mary Phagan COM
ing down from the second floor, where she
had gone to get her one dollar and twenty
cents The sight of her mesh-bag tempted
him, and he grabbed her to rob her. He
heard noise got scared, hit her over the
head, rendering her unconscious and then
showed her body through the scuttle-hole and
she fell into the basement below.
He then went down the ladder himself,
from the first floor into the basement, and
ripped a strip off her garment to strange her
with. ut was not strong enough. and he
grabbed the cord"
He tied this cord over the strip of cloth
ing, tied it tight and choked her to death.
There was struggle in the basement, the
girl trying to fight jim off, He pressed her
down on bank of cinders to smother her
screams, and she breathed cinders into her
nose and mouth, in her dying agonies. In
clawing spasmodically with her hands, cind-
ers were packed under her nails.
In holding her down On the cinders face
downwards, Jim ground cnders into her face,
so that it was matted with cinders"
Then he dragged her body back into the

ladder, and not zeave blood noarE8 on the zad-
der?
And what would the floor Of the basement
look like, after that bruised body, bumped
again and again on the rounds Of the ladder,
fell crumpled and crushed, there at the foot?
What would prevent the blood from spat-
tering and running, then?
You will be amazed when | tell you that
the official record in the case "a copy Of which
IS in my possession) shows that diligent search
was made in the basement, as soon as the
body was found, and that there was abso-
lutely no sign of struggle, no sign Of blood,
and no sign of dragging, except array from
the elevator!
And with astonishing stupidity, they argue
that ,Jims hands remained bloody enough
after acy5t5ng the notes, to stain the door he
opened ;bW 2cere not bloody enough to stain
the pencil, the pads, or the notes!
They argue that the girl struggled with
Jim IN the basement, and that he pressed her
to death in pile of cinders, so that there
were cinders in her nose, in her mouth, and
under her finger nails; and that her face was
packed with cinders.
The evidence Gp the record is, that the cord
had been tied so tightly around her neck, that
it had cut into her tender flesh, and in her
strangulation, her tongue protruded; and her
face was black ao5tb congestion and coal dust,
for she was found lying on her face.
She had been dragged by the feet on her
side, and the trail of the dragging led back
from the body TO the elevator
Testimony of Sergeant L. S. Dobhs, I'M
contradictory
There 2cere no c5eders u2tzer the girls naizs
no cinders poched into the flesh of her face,
no ci2derS IN her nose, and none IN her mouth!
A. B. Macdonald goes so far as to tell the
public that underneath the cord, was, the strip
of clothing, and that underneath this strip Of
cloth, there were cinders.
This is utterly untrue. There was nothing
under the cruel cord, except the wounded
flesh, and there were no cinders at ALL

Of the privates, and the blood on the drawers,
