THE .JEFFERSONEAN


fdctu5ed testimony.
IF Conley had committed the crime on the
first floor, or in the basement, what con-
celyable reason could he have for writing
notes to captain how she came to be attacked
up stairs on Franks floor?
And why didn't the negro, if guilty, put
it on the white man whom he knew to be up
stairs, and who could be proved to be up
there, instead of on another negro who was
not at the place at all, and who could be
proved not to have been there2
&C.. Ii Slaton returns to Georgia he will
be asked why, in his lengthy and 1abored de-
Tense, he made no allusion to the fact that
Franks own wife Stunned him for three
weeks after his arrest.
Wives do not turn against their husbands
on the evidence of other people When a
wife abhorrently shrinks away, it is because
she learns from her husband how awful is
his guilt.
Now, the undisputed fact in this case is,
that it was three weeks before Franks wife
could be prevailed upon to change her atti-
tude of mortified avoidance.
When did any good wife ever treat an in
nocent husband that way? Meier!
Slaton knew Of this mortified avoidance Of
Leo Frank by his wife, and he knew that the
cooks affidavit explained it-and that no
other explanation is possible
1t he wanted to deal honestly with the case
why did he Ignore so stupendous a fact?
a. IF Slaton comes back he will be
asked whether he knew that Senator Ollie
James had been yainly tempted to accept the
part afterward played by ex-Congressman
w. M. Howard, and that Senator James
spnrned the offer
Slaton's partner Rosser, wanted to "save
his face" as far as possible; and therefore he
did all in his power to bring outside press
ure to bear It was thought that Senator
James could be employed with effect; and the
noble Rosser went to the Kentucky statesman
with most attractive offer-a fee that
staggered.
Senator James was told by Rosser Gin eff
fect) that his appearance In the case would
be a mere form because there was no doubt as
result Governor Slaton would surely COM
mute, hence, Senator James would be arguing
and perorating for "a sure thing"
Rosser is such a rascal himself, and he had
found so many other rascals besides Jack
Slaton whom he could use in this foulest of
cases, that it never occurred to him that Sen
ator James would revolt at the idea of being
hired to act as dummy.
49, IF the traitor dares show his face in
Georgia again, he will be asked to tell what
passed between him and Rosser at the secret,

after the Prison Commission decided against
Frank.

is not satisfied with the evidence on which
the jury convicted.
Slaton knows that every defendant is safe
SO long as the Supreme Court remains dis
satisfied with the verdict, for no verdict can
stand, If the evidence IN the record appears
insufficient
Slaton also knows that every bit of the
testimony that he referred to in his $4,000
word defense, has been exhaustively argued
before Judges Roam and Hill, and had been
carefully reviewed by our Supreme Court.
Why, then, did he falsify the records, and
deceive the people who are not posted!
Let him tell as!
a. In Slatons 15,O00-word document,
he entirely ignores the tremendous fact, that
somebody, working in Franks interest, was
buslly engaged on "frame-up" against the
night watch, Newt Lee, at the time Conzey
stepped the horrible game, by confessing
that he and Frank were accomplices in the
crime
Wig did Szoton fail to mention this?
Let me ask your attention to a phase of
the case that has not been discussed:
Conley swore that he wrote four notes in
Franks office, up stairs, and that two of
them seemed to suit Frank. Z'aco acre
foauad IN the basement beside the 6ody
Those two, taken together accuse the ight
watch, describe his person, explain that he
attacked the girl up stairs as she trent to the
toilet echich Franh also used' and accuse the
night watch of pushing her body down the
scuttle-hole.
Here was detailed attempt to fix sus-
plclon on the nigh watch, and to explain
how the girl got to the basement.
You will remember that Slaton laid great
stress on the question, HoaU did the 60dy
reach the basement?
Tho notes of ~ +bo+ x-o,1,
thing!
Can you conceive of a negro rapist and
murderer lingering in the basement to write
notes explaining h0eo the body Of his uictins
got there?
After the crime, Conley had the balance
Of Saturday, Saturday night, all day Sun
day, and Sunday night, to put himself clear
out of the reach of the law, for his gongs
and comings would not be noticeable until
Monday.
He didn't run! Frank couldn't run!
Frank saw those notes Sunday; and he
knew jim Conley wrote them, for he knew
Jlm's writing; and he saw that these Jim
Conley notes accused Newt Lee; and vet he
never told the officers that jim could write,
md that the notes acere inns; nor did he,
Frank, cease to try to frame up the innocent
negro, until the guilty one confessed!

Lee seemed to have been absent from the
factory, Saturday night, long enough to
have gone home and changed his clothes A
bloody shirt was planted in Lees clothes
barrel, and found there, after Frank had
suggested that Lees premises be searched.
How much more fake evidence against Lee
might have been manufactured, we don't
know; but it is safe to say that the detec-
tlves and lawyers wh0 hired Ragsda7e and
Barber to swear they overheard Conley tell
another negro that he had killed the girl,

Newt Lee, and his keeping it secret from
the police that Jim Conley was in the fac
tory Saturday when Mary Phagan came
there is one of the most damaging circum-
stances against Frank yet Slaton never
refers to it at all.
He never calls attention to the fact that
Franks conduct, after the finding of the
corpse, ecas eract1y an accordance qcith the
charges contained en- the taco notes; and that
this devilish idea of framing up an innocent
man was further indicated by Franks re-
fusal to allow the night watch to enter the
factory until dark, and by has turning dorm
the gas, in the basement, so low that the
finding of the corpse by the nightwatch was
an accident.
Two things saved Newt Lee from the dia-
bolical purpose of Leo Frank;
One was the call of nature, while he was
making the round of the basement, and his
consequent finding of the body; the other
was Jim Conzey's confession.
Slaton cannot explain his suppression Of
this black spot in the case.
(5) Whoever dictated those two notes
took it for granted that the blood spots
would inevitably be found up stairs; and he
therefore had to frame reason for the girls
going to that part of the building. So, he
hit upon the explanation that she went to
the acater closet IN the metal roon
Therefore, the writer of the notes placed
the crime on Franks floor, while Slaton
placed it on Conley's floor.
Wig the change?
Frank saw those notes Sunday and Mon
day following the crime; and Frank knew
that it was Conley's writing; and Frank of
course, saw that the notes accused the night
watch of committing the crime on Franks
own floor; yet Frank made no protest at the
time
Why did Slaton undertake to argue the
crime away from Franks floor, when Frank
himself made no effort to do so, when he
first saw that the notes put the crime on his
floor?
The question goes to the ue1y vitazs Of the
Moreover, the writer of the notes placed
Mary in the metal room, going to the toilet,
IN doing achich she had to pass right by the
machine on qchich her hair acas fouud
Now, Frank knew she had gone to the
metal room, of course because he had as
saulted and killed her there; but he did not
know that her hair had caught on the ma
chine handle, and left some strands on it;
hence he did not realize the danger of die
tating notes qohich represented her as being
near that machine!
Therefore, in explaining how the body
reached the basement; and at the same time,
describing the murder as having been COM
mltted in the metal room, by the night
qcotch he created confusion natural to an
excited criminal who had suddenly fallen
into his first great crime.
He did not know, then, that the State
would be able to trace the girl into his pos
session at about the noon hour Saturday;
and that, therefore, he would be required to
tell what became of her, that afternoon
In other words, he failed an his epcite-

Omaha daily bee., 1915-05-30

London, May %.
EVERYBODY has heard of the
- tremendous ramifications Of
- the German military spy
system. which had every move of
Englands army and navy under
observation, every gun emplacement
mapped out and knew every order
given to the army before 1t reached
the subordinate officers.
Englishmen were powerless to
shake of this spy danger, which
penetrated into every branch Of
national life, but English women
took up the matter. brought the most
dangerous spies to trial, put the
others under armed guard and in
various other ways made the lives Of
spies and suspected spies a burden
to them.
They have proved that women are
the only efficient Spy trappers."
The leaders of the undertaking are
women of title, for they alone would
have the authority. means and pres
tige to carry out such difficult and
far-reaching work.
The organizer and chairman" Of
the committee that has been round
ing up the spies is Lady Glanusk,
wife of a peer and officer. a woman
Of keen mind and very determined,
yet tactful personality.
Other members are the Duchess of
Wellington, who is president; the
Duchess Of Beaufort, the Duchess of
Sutherland, the Warehouses Of
Sligo, Countess Bathurst. the Coun-
tess OF Lanesborough. Viscountess
Massereene and Ferrard, Viscountess
Combermere, Viscountess Gotham,
Lady Vincent, Lady Leith of Fyyie,
Mrs. Harold Barring and others.
Among them are some of the most
notably beautiful women In English
society and others who are distin-
guished by their winning personality.
Perhaps the most striking beauty is
the Viscountess Massereene and
Ferrard whose husband is the chief
of a celebrated Irish family.
Equally attractive in her way Is
the young Duchess of Sutherland.
whose husband is the largest land
owner in Scotland and the United
Kingdom.
Another member of the committee
roted for her beauty is Mrs. Harold
Barring, who was formerly Mss Marie
Churchill, OF New York. Her hus-
band belongs to the famous English
banking family that possesses four
peerages. Lady Leith of Fyvie, is
mother American born member. She
was Miss Marie January, of st.
Louis.
Womanly intuition and womanly
guile exercised by these attractive
spy trappers,". on many social oc-
casions, have led many Germans TO
make admissions they would never
have made TO a man.
Before the war thousands of Ger
mans were in positions of trust IN
England, ranging from heads OF
banks down to such positions as but
lers in prominent English families
and headwaiters in leading hotels.
Many people believe that German
buffers in the employ of British Cabi-
net ministers and British generals
nave been the most important agents
for conveying military information to

1t is generally understood that
Carl Hans Lody, the German spy
executed in the Tower of London,
was brought to trial through the ef-
forts of the women's committee, al
though the members disclaim the
achievement.
Lody was an officer of the Ger
man naval reserve who had resided
some years in the United States,
married and deserted his wife there.
He was engaged for a time as an
agent of an English tourist agency
in America, work which gave him an
excellent opportunity for watching
military preparations.
Last August he obtained an Ameri-
can passport from the German EN-
bassy in Berlin, under the name of
Charles A. Inglis, OF New York,
American citizen. He went to Eng
land with instructions to obtain In
formation concerning the movements
Of the English fleet for the German
Government.
In the disguise of an American
tourist, he visited the principal sea
ports Of the United Kingdom. While
he was viewing the romantic scenery
in the vicinity of Edinburgh, an at
tractive member OF the ladies' com.
mittee made his acquaintance. Under
the influence OF sympathetic society
Lody became more communicative
than discretion warranted.
Behind the superficial American
accent the natural German accent re.
yealed itself in the warmth OF CON
fidence. A few days later, LOdy was
arrested and letters, which he had
