the stairs, gave the girl her money, and saw
her leave to go below, on her way out, and
her dead body was found in the house, he
was bound to know that Conley killed her,
because no one else had the opportunity.
But Franks partisans claim that Frank
did not know Conley was in the house
Yet he told his detective, on the Monday
following, that he knew on Saturday of Con
ley's being there.
Mrs. Hattie Waites saw Frank talking to
Conley, between 10 and II O'clock that Sat
urday april 26th) and Mrs. Arthur White
saw Conley in the factory, at the foot of the
stairs, at y 80
Two white men, Graham and Tillander,
had seen him, asked him for directions to
Franks office, and got them, that Saturday
morning
Yet Frank shielded Conley from suspicion,
tried to f0sten the crime on the night 2oatch-
man, and never said word against Conlev,
until the latter owned up, and told all
about it.
- Conley had been Franks employee for two
years and it was not until he had confessed
on himself and Frank, that he was discov-
cred to have been such bad man.
Lecturng to a Southern audience, at a
Chatauqua, recently the Attorney General of
Missouri stated, that Frank was convicted on
the evidence of negro who had been con
vlcted Of almost every crime.
What a pity that this high official of
Southern State did not write to the Attor-
neyGeneral Of Georgia, or to the Governor
or to member of our Supreme Court, before
accusing orr courts Of such fragrant injus-
t;cc!
Burns, in signed article, in the Cleye-
land, Ohio, Leader, states that Conley had
been several times sent to the chain gang
It's none of my business to defend this
negro, but it is part of my business, as
Georgian proud of my State, and my peo-
p1e-tO defend them against accusations
which besmirch our record
Conley, being confessed occompAce,
could not have convicted negro chicken
thief, much less an educated white man, with
plenty of money, and the best lawyers that
Atlanta could furnish.
An accomplice is not allowed to convict
an accomplish: his evidence is worthless, I'M
less so fully corroborated by other witnesses
as to make the case practically complete
without him.
This fact must be repeated. again and
again, in order that we may at last convince
our fellow citizens, outside of Georgia, that
we did not condemn Frank on the testimony
OF negro 0cc0mphce.
The Acknowledgement of Missouri does
himself, and us, a grave wrong, when he
accepts the word of such companion Gull
pEits, as Burns, Lehon, and Slaton.
Conley is ust a common, natural negro,
constant worker at ordinary work. He
was never even arrested for any crime,
much less sent to the chain-gang after con-
viction.
His record was carefully looked up, and
nothing more could be found against him,
than that he had been drunk and disorderly,
and had been in fights with other negroes.
The recorder sent him to the stocEade
thirty days for fighting, and that was the
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1915-09-09

The crux of the Frank conviction is simply
this-the police, panic-stricken by thoir cWn
sense of official incompetcncy and Goaied BY pul,-
lie clamor and newspaper ridic4e OF their earlier
failures, sought to appease public Wrata by The
arrest Of the man who they said last Mary
Phagan alive
According to their frame-up, this man was Leo
Frank, and use the term fraUe~Up sdtisedly.
Nothing stands out more glarinGly in the Frank
than certain perjureG testimony bearing
the killing of Mary Phagan.
A newspaper reporter, whose rame will with
hold, testified not under OATH that in his eXaIni-
nation of the premises WhereOn Mary met her
DEATH he had found several strands Of hair torn
from the victims head. This hair adroity
distributed the rung of a ladder that arose
from and ash heap and turning lathe adj
jace1t. Contrary to all the laws Of evidence this
unsworn testimony crept into the case. Yet to me
and to others this reporter admitted that he had
planted the hair the ladders rungs and on
the lathe.
Was this reporter called to explain his per-
jured testimony? He was not And today lie is
gatheror in good standing in Atanta's
school of journalism.
Outside the mazes of professional diplo-
macy. I have never read after such liars. as
Slaton, Lehon, and Burns.
The Atlanta police ''goaded by ridicule of
their earlier failures!"
What were these earlier failures?
They were the arrests of j. NJ CAN'T and
Newt Lee, principally.
Who caused the police to arrest J. M.
CAN'T?
Leo Frank! He did it. by saying that
CAN'T had been in the pencil factory, on the
Saturday evening of the crime and by
insinuating that CAN'T had been too inti-
mate with Mary Phagan
He gave his detective, Harry Scott this
"tlp," on Monday after the crime, when he
had already told Officers Rogers and Black,
on Sunday, the day before, that he did not
know any girl named Mary Phagan.
Frank told Chief Lanford, and the Coro-
ner, the same thing; vet he caused the arrest
of CAN'T, and his Imprisonment for several
days, by telling Scott that CAN'T had been
intimate with the girl.
Thus the police were precipitated into one
of their earlier failures"
The second. was the arrest of the night
watch, Newt Lee.
Who caused Nevis arrest?
Leo Frank! How? BY saying that Newt
was the only person in the factory, on the
night the girls body was found, and that he
ought to know more about it, than he
claimed to know.
The two notes, lying near the dead body,
described Newt Lees physical make, and
accused him Of the crime.
The great Rosser stumbled into the awful
mistake of proving that, at the time the
notes were found, Jim Conley had never seen
Newt Lee, and did not know that he was
"a tall, slim, black negro"
The great Rosser will probably never be
employed in another great murder case in
Georgia, but if he ever should be, he will
never make bigger score Of huge mistakes,
than he made in the Frank case.
And, by far the most disastrous of these
numerous mistakes, was his proving that, at
the time the notes acere arratten, Jim Con-
ley could not have described Newt Lee,
ecith0W the assistance Of Leo Frank.

A Few od 1aee Lies Against the
Stale OF Georgia, Told by
William j. Burns.

vW1EaA2Em Js BUrnS.
THE so-called detective William J. Burns.
IS fourth degree Knight of Columbus;
therefore, sworn subject of foreign DO
tentate, and most dangerous man.
The Jews employed him in the Frank case,
after the guilt of Frank had been ascer-
tanned judicially, and the litigation legally
ended
For what purpose did the Haas Finance
Committee employed this Knight of Column
bus, after the case had been finally termi-
mated?
No further legal efforts could be made.
No court could legally retry the case
No Pardon Board could legally do it.
The Governor could not legally do it,
The Governor could pardon or commute
but, under our jury system, the Governor
has no jurisdiction over the question of guilt,
or innocence.
Our law does not give to any other tri-
bunal, S0rc cen Supreme Court, the legal
right to rco}cc the evidence, and 4eroyse the
Jury.
Slaton told the outsiders that he, alone,
had this power, and that the Supreme Court
did not have it,
just the reverse is true The Supreme
Court alone has it, and the Court epercised
IL, IN t4ds case.
Neither the Pardon Board, nor the Gov
ernor can try case, on the evidence which
was considered by the jury; but in this case,
both the Board and the Governor uSmped
the 3ud{ca0} p0rer.
IT Should NOR BE DONE AGAIN!
Unlimited opportunities for bribery and
corruption are offered, when Pardon Boards
and Governors usW'p the judicial Functions,
which the Law vests in j1ries and Judges
AT the time the Jews hired Burns, and
brought him to Atlanta, no legitimate qco1h
remained to be done.
Nothing but dirty, corrupt, criminal work
could be done.
The Haas Finance Committee knew it:
the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce knew it
the Atlanta dailies knew it: and the Mn
ssteria1 dissolution hneeO 1t!
Burns came to Atlanta, to begin his dirty,
corrupt, criminal work; and there wasn't an
intelligent man in Georgia who did not know
what the game was.
That rascally crew-Burns and his hackers
-hneac he meant to tamper with the States
witnesses, and get them to "change' their evil
dence.
How was the evidence of white men and
women to be "changed?"
They were all poor people, dependent on
their daily work for their daily bread; and
Jew money expected to buy them up.
Everybody hn0acs 1T!
In addition to this, Burns expected to be
able to find some man, white or black, who
would swear he heard Jim Conley confess.
While the nearness to each other of Con-
ley and Frank, at the time Mary Phagan
was assaulted and killed, precludes the idea
that one of them could have been guilty
without the knowledge of the other, Burns
was desperately eager to put Conley in the
place of principal, leaving Frank as the
accessory.
1t was the best he could hope to do.
