The week began with an ad-

had been occupied by Tom Swale,

lowing a recount OF votes, was
made under the frlendliest of spir-

The five-cent "jitney bus has
found the vulnerable spot in the

Schiff Cites Frank Case.
A letter from Jacob Schiff, citing
the case of Leo Frank as all argu-
ment in behalf of the proposed
amendment. was filed with the COM
mittee. Nj. SchifT wrote in part:
eff there are no other good and
practicable reasons why capital pun
ishment should be abolished, such as
the fact that in countries and in
States where this has been done, the
commitment of murder has actually
decreased, the experience in the case
of Leo Frank of Atlanta, Ga, fur
nishes the strongest argument in
favor of the abolishment of capital
punishment. Here is a man believed
by many to be innocent of the crime
charged against him upon whom, in
a trial by jury, capital punishment
was pronounced, but who actually
has been sentenced through popular
passion which at the time of the trial
ran riot"
"Many of the convicts now in Sing

committee said, "have written me,
asking that favorable action be TAX

to do away with the death sentence"

Osborne, from the dread h%abitation

ers of the State the opportunity to
pass on the amendment to abolish
capital punishment would he tremen-
dous.
w. Bourke Cochran declared that
Warden Osborne's admission that he
was the keeper of twenty-five men
and one woman doomed to death was
degrading.
"Think of it," he said, twenty
five human beings herded together,
fed and pampered by the State in Or
der that they may be in fine physical
condition on the day set aside for
butchering them by the State. 1t is
barbarity without a refining touch.
The State taking human life is worse
than a cannibal who kills and at
tempts a decent pretense at %justifi-
cation by eating his victim. The
State profits nothing from the lives
it takes. The death penalty has
brought the law into discredit by
raising many of it's victims to i'm
morality"
DR.. William o. Stillman Of Albany,
also spoke in behalf of the amend
ment.
Chairman Marshall declared that a
bill abolishing capital punishment
had been brought before the Legisla-
ture every year for about twenty-five
years, and had never got out of COM
mittee. He said he believed this
might be a good reason for allowing
the people to vote on the matter in
the form of a constitutional amend
ment.

by vandals, and was on the spot be-
fore any detectives in the district.

AS usual, Chief Eagan had very
little to say. He pulled on n OF
Chief Malch's cigars and smiled con-
tentedly. 81 am glad the boys
have got the men who were respon-
sible,7 he 'vouchsafed at length,

who we're on the case. 1t is a cinch
we have the might men and everyone
knows it"
Gene Eubanks and Robert Cren-
shaw, the veterans of some of the
most bafHing cases in the annals OF
the police department, had little to
say.
It has bee a case in which every
man put forth his best efforts" said
Eubanks. "Immediately after the
wreck the men were tracked by dogs
to the spot where they got into a
wagon and left the scene. From then
on we followed every possible clew
and were finally rewarded by get
ting the right people. We fought
hard over every inch of the ground
and now I know that we have the
right men. Our chief is still a very
young man, as shown by his staying
up with all of US night and day
tracing down the criminals who did
the wrecking of the train"
Men Are Characters
All the men under arrest are mar
ried and have families. Henry is a
character unique within himself. He
is authenticated, about 80 years of
g and has a head that is abnormal.
His hair comes down to his brow just
above his eyebrows, and the top of
his head is almose fiat. From his
ears to the top of his head is perpen-
dicular for about six inches, then
fattens all the way across His eyes
are yellow and beady and his look
is one of scornful Indifference. The
police are of the opinion that Henry
will undoubtedly confess sometime
during the day. In the meanwhile
he walks up and down his cell NUT
tering applications to God and cry
ing out in a loud voice for "God to
throw his light upon me so that l may
see the right way to do"
Archie Lee is a young man prob
ably about Fl years of age, and IS
married and has three children.
None of the men know exactly how

eyes which are never still. He is

ant air, apparently not realizing
