Calls II an Unfair Trial.

Tho trial took place In an atnos-
phere OF avowed luminosity. Those who
sought TO protect him according to law
were In the direst jeopardy. Conscien-
tious public officials advised his counsel
to arm themselves for their own pro-
lection while the TRIAL proceeded.
"As II progressed the attitude OF the
public became more and more ominous.
Hostile demonstrations took place OF
such a nature hat the presiding Jus
tice was constrained 20 call into con-
ference In the very presence OF the jury

Colonel Of the local militia regiment.
Frank and all of his counsel were
practically coerced TO absent themselves

rendition OF the verdict I'm order 10 avoid
the outbursts OF awl.ssness. While the
Board OF Prison Commissioner and the
Governor himself were engaged In hear
ing the arguments presented in behalf Of

the very windows where these public ON
Gals were celebrating.
ut therefore required high moral
courage In Gov. Slaton to perform his
duty. He has written his name large
in the history OF Justice In America.
His act will never be forgotten 10 long
as we EMAIL continue 20 pride ourselves
upon the orderly administration OF the
law without fear or prejudice.
Whatever those who sought 10 con-
sign Frank to the gallows may now
think. the time will certainly come when
they will show their gratitude 10 Gov
Slaton for having saved the State from
the preparation of a s~tupendous crime.

Calls Governor Unqualified.

Solicitor Hugh Dorsey, who prosecuted
Frank. issued a statement tonight say
ing Gov. Slaton was disqualified to pass
ON the case and denOunclng his action
in committing the sentence. Dorsey says
In part:
1.-THE action OF Gov Slaton multiplying
the judgments OF the state n Federal
courts and overriding the recommended
ton OF the state Board of Pardons was
'as surprising to me as II was unprec-
edented
II knew that the senior member Of

Frank, not only throughout hls trial but

Frank Spirited Away.

The removal of Frank from Jail 20
the Milledgeviile State prison farm was
with great secrecy last night.
Gov. Slaton took Sheriff M~anghum OF
Atlanta and -four OF the latter's deputies
into his confidence Just before midnight.
Frank was slipped nut OF the jail by a
rear door. thus Guiding the II, wspaper

The members OF the party attracted
little attention at the station and at
once entered the sleeping car and were
locked in at ~ :0l a. NJ. The train then
pulled out for Milledgeville.
IL was nearly an hour later before
Il became known that Frank had been
spirited away. and two hours had
elapsed before confirmation OF the fact
could be obtained. But for the keen
ness OF vision OF the gatekeeper at the
terminal station Frank would have
been in Milledgeville without the people
of Atlanta knowing anything about his

despite the handkerchief over his face.
As soon as the station keeper spread the
story that Frank had been spirited

eventually confirmed the report,

and his wife did not know OF his re-

The charge against the State Of
Georgia of racial prejudice is unfair.
A conspicuous Jewish family in Georgia
is descended from one Of the original
Colonial families OF the State. Jews
have been presidents of boards OF edu-
cation, principals OF our schools. mayors
of our cities and conspicuous In all our
commercial enterprises"
Gov. Slaton then reviewed the States
evidence. devoting special attention TO
the story told by the negro Conley and
says
"Conley admits he wrote the notes
found by the body Of Mary Phagan. Did
Frank dictate them Conley swears ne
lid. The State says that the use of
tho word did instead OF done indicates
a white mans dictation. Conley admits
the spelling was his. The words are re-
peated. In Conley's testimony you will
ind frequently that he used the word
did and according to a calculation sub
mitted to me he used the word did
over fifty times during the trial.
while Conley was in Jail charged
with being an accessory there was also
incarcerated In the Jail a woman named
Annie Maude Carter. whom Conley had
met at the court house. She did work

lengthy letters. These letters are the
most obscene and lecherous I have ever
read. In these letters the word did IL

uses frequently the word negro and in

Jury Didn't See Notes.

1.-The Annie Maud Carter notes, which
were powerful evidence in behalf OF the
defendant. and which tended strongly 10
show that Conley was the real author OF
the murder notes, were not before the
jury.
another feature that was no,
known at the trial and which was not
presented to the jury but came up by
extraordinary motion was regarding the
hair alleged TO have been found by Bar
rstt on the lathe. The evidence on the
trial OF some OF the witnesses was that
the hair looked like that Of Mary
Phagan. IL was not brought out at the
trial that DR.. Harris had examined the
hair under a microscope and by taking
sections OF It and comparing II with
Mary Phagan's hair thought that on the
lathe was not Mary Phagan's hair. al
though he said he could not be certain
of Il. This. however. would have been
the highest and best evidence.

RULES WHEN DOCUMENT
SHALL BEAR TAX STAMP
Internal Revenue Head Answers
Query as to Power of Attorney
in Instrument of Record.

The commissioner of internal revenue
has ruled that a power of attorney.
when Incorporated in or annexed to
recordable instrument, shall bear 25-
cent revenue stamp.
This ruling was made in reply to an
inquiry Of James J. Backer, vice presi-
dent of the Real Estate Title Insurance
Company of this city, and was as fol-
lows: Section 497 of the Code Of Law
of the District of Columbia provides
that deeds Of corporations shall be ac-
knowledged as the deed of the cor
poration by an attorney appointed for
that purpose by power of attorney en-
bodied in the deed, or by one separate
therefrom, and the corporate seal to be
annexed to and recorded with the
deed In reply, you are advised that
it Is held by this Office that the power
of attorney in question is subject to
tax"
It is understood that since the act of
October %, 1914, with reference to the
became operative, December 1, 1914, a
number of instruments acknowledged
by attorneys appointed for such pur-
pose have been filed for record in the
Office of the recorder of deeds Of the
District, but it is said that few had
affixed to them the 25-cent internal
revenue stamps required by the act.
1t Is understood, however, that no
objection to persons now affixing the
required stamps to these Instruments
which were filed for record before this
ruling became generally known will be
raised.

Mrs. Binns had made an effort to

it was nearly o'clock, Mr.. Binns did
not come home to eat it. 1t was the

punctually as If he did-unless ne oio

Binns, was none the less poignant now

to bed at 8 o'clock. She put the 1oou

Lying there she thought and thought.
She had been married to Mr.. BlnnS TOT

had taught her one consoling fact-he
always returned some time. So long
as he came at all she was grateful.
for after twenty years of this exceed
ingly intermittent wifehood she still
loved him tenderly.
Morning came in a light. wet snow.
Mrs. Binns had slept indifferently, but
she rose at the usual hour and began
to clean her walk. She always had the
neatest premises on that street, sum-
