which entangled itself in her hair split her
scalp, and stunned her into Inconsistencies.
Frank, the beastly Simian, ripped up her
drawers, bruised and bloodied her vagina,
and her underclothes; and then finished his
dlabolical work with the cord that he tied so
tightly about her tender throat.
Negroes who assault white women, and then
choke them to death, do not 90 off to get
cords: their hands, are what those prehen-
sile gorilas use.
After the Haas Finance Committee had
exhausted every legitimate effort to save
Frank and the Supreme Court of Georgia
had fully reviewed the evidence and affirmed
the verdict of death against him, William j.
Burns DetectlUc 4 gency aCd8 employed.
Why! Because illegitimate methods were
needed to defeat the law and mock Justice:
Burns was the kind Of man wanted
Those who hired this pretentous rascal
were bound to have known him.
They must have known that he had been
virtually branded as fxer of juries briber
of witnesses, and dangerously lawless man,
By the United States Department Of Justice
They must have known that the President
of the United States had pardoned men out
of the penitentiary, because it was found that
Burns had convicted them with packed iuries
and perjured witnesses.
Therefore, Burns was employed by the
Haas Committee to do dirty work
When he noisily entered the case, and loudly
studied all the evidence in Atlanta. he fog
horned through the papers, telling the world
that the guilty person was a pervert Of the
worst type, that this person had never even
been suspected, and that this awful creature
was "still at large"
The WOOL forOrC lyoT,t hot mn until coma
of the papers, remember the Macon Neaos,
particularly-began to jeer at the blatant
scoundrel, and to ironically advise him to nab
that guilty person who was still at large, lest
she get away, while the getting away is good"
At that time, Burns made no effort to fix
the crime on the negro, but went North,
ostensibly to find that peryert who was ''still
at large"
When the faker and impostor failed to
frame up a dummy criminal. he came roar
ing back into Georgia. and, in little while,
he was resorting to the most infamous meth
eds to suppress true testimony, and to buy
some that was false.
If Monteen Slower had had a robust pro-
tector, he would have horsewhipped Burns
and Samuel Boornstein for their outrageous
treatment of the girl
Everybody knows the real truth about the
Ragsdale and Barber affidavit; those men
were bribed to swear that they heard the
negro confess the murder to another negro,
in the alley back Of the Terminal Hotel.
Everybody knows what a shabby, if not
perjured part. the rich Mr.. Hirsch acted in
helping to save the Burns detectives from
wearing the stri pes they so richly deserve.
Everybody knows how poor William NJ.
Smith, the Negroes lawyer was approached
by Burns; and how Smith admitted he had
made trade with Burns, swapping help in
the Frank case for help in the Nelms case.
EVERYBODY knows what loud blare was

How can any reasoning man fail to see the
fatal force of thatP
Upon the supposition that Frank was in
his office, at the time the deed was done, this
boldest of negroes took the risk of passing
the open door Of white man, on his way to
assault a white girl, fen steps aaoay.
Your intelligence re ects the idea.
Surprising that Frank remained in his
office while the deed was being done, and
afterwards, this boldest of negroes not only
passed the open door on his way to the metal
room, but, after the girl was choked to death,
he took her body either down the elevator,
nearby, Or he took it past the open door, down
stairs, and thence to the basement; and the
white man was within a few steps of where
the negro was doing all of this, the whole time
it was being done
I or Intelligence Spur1as the idea!
But when you accept Franks suggestion
that he might have gone to the toilet, at the
time Monteen spears his office was vacant, you
see at once that, if the negro had come up
stairs, and gone back to where the crime was
committed, the negro and the qOhite man
WE'RE TOGETHER!
My lords and gentlemen, that is the Gods
truth about it.
The white lady, Mrs White who went out,
shortly before Monteen came in, san the
negro near the foot Of the stairs, and near the
front door, sitting doaom. Monteen coming
H. few minutes later, does not see the negro,
and finds Franks office vacant.
Fro1eh and the negro aoere both naa8sing,.
and, as have contended all the time, the only
question in the case is, hoe0 far the qeq1o

Put your thought on Franks Office and
Franks clock!
BY that clock, his stenographer, Hattie
Hall, leaves his office at II :O2
BY that clock, Frank times the arrival of
Mary Phagan III his office, cat - :O5 to 1910,
maybe II :07." Those are has cords.
BY that clock, Monteen Slower comes into
Franks office at - :05 and waits until 1910,
before she gives up hope Of seeing Frank and
of getting her money.
Isn't that time table, all made On the same
clock, q mortal 6zo2o to Frank?
Consider it: his stenographer registers her
leaving time, by the clock. It is two minutes
after twelve.
Monteen Slower looks at the clock. while
waiting at the office for the absent Frank
1t is five minutes after twelve when Mon
teen enters: it is - 10 when she leaves
Frank himself saws Mary Phagan came to
his office about 1906, Or 1907, or - 10: but
Monteen's evidence covers that entire period,
and does 1t By Franks clock.
Monteen, coming in, did not see Mary 60
ing out. Monteen, going out, did not meet
Mary coming in.
Frank was nowhere to be seen: Mary was
nowhere to be seen; and the negro, also, was
missing.
The next person to see Frank, is Mrs.
White, who unexpectedly returned to the fac
tory, and came up the stairs passing the open
door of Franks office; his back was to her:
he was facing the open safe; and he dumped"
like a nervous, startled man, when Mrs. White
spoke to him. from behind.

be the damnlng conflict with an unimpeach-
able, dlsnterested, intelligent, and absolutely
impartial witness
If. on the other hand, he admitted that he
had lied IN his first story, he would not only
lose the confidence of the jury, but would put
himself out OF sight, at the same time and
place that Mary a0as out Of sight; and, as the
State could prove that he neither went down
stairs, nor up stairs, he Wouzd locate himself

came up stairs and went into his office.
In this dreadful dilemma, what did he do?
Like me guilty men, in first great crime,
he did the worst possible thing:
lie Stradd1cd, by telling the jury that he
would not contradict Scott, and would not
contradict Monteen: he thought he had not
left his office, but he might "unconsciously"
have done so.
What sort of impression would that have
made on your mind, had you been on the
jury?
The foregoing is all based upon the testi-
mony Of white witnesses who were not in any
way hostile to Frank, and had no motive to
testify against him. Some of them must have
known that they were going against their
oaon interest, when they told what they knew
on Frank.
have not used the negro's evidence, at all;
and yet such papers as those who have most
persistently and Extensively lampooned and
lied about the State of Georgia on account Of
the Frank case, are precisely those who tell
us Southern people, that We ought to be
ashamed OF ourselves for not treating the
negro as our equal.

the New York World, Jim Conley is the equal

There would probably never be another

This would not be because women are

story about a credulous creature of ma

women have the discretion not to sue the

men assess damages on the man in the

its head. Moreover, 1t is not justice, for
woman capable of bringing a breach
Of promise suit is perfectly able TO take

The breach OF promise suit nuisance
