FEELING BEYOND POWER

OF venue and submitted his case to a
jury that was accepta bic TO him.
FEELING BEYOND POWER
| OF COURT TO CORRECT
| During the progress of the .trial"
he continued, after evidence had been
! introduced laying the crime with many
offensive details upon Frank, the feel
ing against him became intense.
III the audience in the courtroom mani
| tested their deep resentment toward
Frank, il was largely by this evidence
/ of feeling, beyond the courts power
| TO correct. 1t would be difficult for an
| appellate court or a trial court to grant
new trial in such long case because
the audience in the courtroom on a few
occasions indicated their sympathics
The jury found the defendant
guilty, and, with exception of the
demonstration outside the courtroom,
| there was no disorder. Nothing was
done which the court could correct
, through legal machinery"
The Governor said the United States
Supreme Court had sustained this
ruling. He declared the charge against
the State of Georgia of racial prejudice
is unfair. He then reviewed the evil
/ dence. He asserted the State proved
| that Frank was in his Office at the fac
tory little after IL o'clock the day Of
! the murder. and that he admitted pay
ing Mary Phagan wages due her. So
| far as known. he says, Frank was the
| last person who saw her alive. Other
| facts, enumerated by the Governor as
| to him the more important of those
shown by the State. were:
That Frank at o'clock the afternoon
of the murder allowed the negro watch
| man. Newt Lee, TO leave the factory
/ for two hours: that the same evening
| Frank called Lee on the telephone. that
! Lee found the double inner doors
! locked. all OF which things he had never
done before; that a cord similar 10 that
with which the girl was strangled was
found in quantities on the metal-room
floor and In less quantities In the base

ne also included the testimony of Miss

commended. Frank and the Phagan girl
were in the metal room. Frank was not

he had not left the Office.
MOST STARTLING EVIDENCES
THAT OF JIM CONLEY
The most startling and Spectacular
testimony in the case was that given
by negro. Jim Conley. who frequently
had been in the chain gang" the state
lhent says. He then referred TO tho
murder notes" found beside the body,
which Conley finally admitted he had
written at Franks dictation "Conley
claimed Frank asked him to come 70

him as he had done, which, he ex-
