Those copies will be as valuable to the law
yers, as the original is, for we must suppose
that the petition for clemency Is the last place
aohere the letter can be used.
When, before, did lawyers demand that a
legal tribunal accept copies of an eTiStang
original?
Like everything else in this phenomenal
case, the acceptance of those copies, by the
Prison Commission, was without precedent.

Did Mr. Rosser write to Judge Roam in De

Does Mr.. Rosser want to be understood as

Will he publish the letter he wrote Judge
Roam?

that an operation, taking away his jaw, and
almost the whole side of his face, had to be
performed.
pen. He was not a man who could write on
a typewriter.
He certainly could not have prepared such
a letter as Franks lawyers presented, acithout
assistance.
Who assisted Judge Roam in the prepara-
ton of that letter?
Who typed it? Who 81 gned it, with stencil,
or otherwise? Who addressed it? Who
mailed it?
Where IS the envelope, with the North

The Rosser letter is in hopeless conflict
with the written statement of Rev. III. c..
Emory, the pastor of Judge Roam, who held
a confidential relation with him during the
Frank trial, and who conversed with him
privately, afterwards.1}
THE STATEMENT OF JUDGE RoAN's PASTOR.
[ give Rev. Mr.. Emorys statement in the
form OF question and answer, as he gave it to
me at my residence. last Friday, in the pres
ence of Messrs Julian Hill L. D. McGregor,
j. W. Shelly, and Mrs. A. L. Lytle: careful
perusal of it. the questions and answers will
convince any impartial mind that this Meth
odist clergyman vindicates the probity of the
dead jurist in manner perfectly consistent
with the official record and with the known
character of the upright Judge:
Q. Hoo0 long haze you knoaon Judge
Roan?
A. Since 1910; I was his pastor for four
years, till 1914.
Q. We're you his intimate friend?
A. Yes, as much SO as pastor and parish
ioner could be.
Q. Did you visit his home Immediately
fOlz0aoing the Frank trial?
A. Yes.
Q. Did he sag aohether or nat he believed
Frank gritty?

forth at the hearing.
@. Did you tolk Nth the Judge about
qOhat he said qo1ae7a sentence qoas pronounced?
A. Yes he said that people had come to
him, from the mountains to the sea, some pos
itively saying they knew Frank was guilty,
others saying positively that they knew he
was innocent, and offering the Judge advice
as to what his duty was He said he intended
to put himself on record as saying that who
ever knew what his duty was, set himself up
as an oracle for he himself had heard the
evidence, and the trial had been extended
through six weeks. all told, and he could not
positively say he was guilty or innocent.
And he said he meant nothing more than
this by his statement, Notwithstanding the
newspapers Of the State tried hard to read
into the statement q great deal more than this,
q. What other matter was specially mem
toned in connection with the case?
A. The Judge said, after all, with refer
ence to my remarks at the time sentence was
pronounced, no mans private opinion is worth
anything at a legal trial, and at the hearing
for q qaeao trial, 1t acds a question Of evidence,
and ACCORDING TO THE EVIDENCE,

have an opportunity to find whether or not [

fail to find 1t myself.
= O. Did Judge Roam ever discuss with you
his intimate relation to Luther Rosser?
A Yes, he and his wife both mentioned
the fact to me, that Rosser was one of his
bosom friends; and one reason qohy the trial
went so hard with him, was that he SO often
had to rule against Ro88er-his best friend,
while at the same time he felt that he mast do

@. Of what disease did Judge Roam diee
A. It is reported to me that he died Of
cancer.
@. Did he undergo a serious operation
prior to his death?
A Yes; his jawbone was removed.
@. Did he suffer with any other trouble
than that which caused the operation?
A. Yes; embleism at the base of the brain,
not long after the Frank trial.
O. Do you believe the nervous strain
brought on by the Frank trial was responsible
in Fastening Judge Roan's death?
A. Yes, indirectly.
O. During your pastoral visits, did you
talk of other matters with the Judge?
A. Yes; we talked of his appointment to
the Appellate Court; [ remember he remarked
that he was glad he would soon be free from
the duties of circuit judgeship as he would

a. 1t is a peculiar and sinister thing,
that, after having utterly-failed to manipulate
the jury into petition for Frank, the whole
case should be rested upon the grave of the
dead Judge.
It is the blacklist feature of the defensive
methods. blacber than the attempt to bride
witnesses, and to suppress evidence-for those
people were alive, and could defend them
selves.
With Judge Roam, it was different: the at
tack on him was postponed, until death had
made him helpless prey.
Not until his pulseless hand could not strike
back, did his bosom friend, and former part
