Of numbering ! title Mary Phagan in Atlanta on
April rs, 1913, is in possession of Dan Lehon, a
New Orleans detective, now in San Francisco.
Lehon, who was Instrumental in the discovery of
faults in the States case against Frank was
indicted in Atlanta for his activity in obtaining
perjury in the Frank trial, but later was ac-
quilted.
'One of the most startling bits in the chain of
evidence which the State wove about Frank was
strand of hair found on the second floor of the
factory" said Lehon today.

Jeffersonian accused Rosser and John w.
Moore Of a CHASTITY fake, Of which Slaton
had full knowledge; and that none Of the
ddstaras haze had the pluck to meet the
issue
When they tell you that our Supreme
Court could not review and weigh the evil
dence against Leo Frank, fling back the
answer that the 141st volume of the Georgia
Reports shows that the Supreme Court de-
roted thirty-odd pages Of closely printed
matter to qeraesrfng and qecighinq the eo;-
de7ece IN the case, and that, after having
weighed it in the scales, they did not find it
wanting.
On the contrary, the court held that it was
amply sufficient to demonstrate Franks
guilt
When they tell you that two Justices diff
Tered from the majority, ask them to look
into the 141st Georgia Reports and learn
what the dissenting opinion was based on.
The imperishable record shows, that the
difference between the Justices was not on
Justices Fish and Beck thought that Judge
Roam should have ruled out some evidence
achich acas merely cuneuzatire, and which did
not go to the merits Of the case
In brief, the two justices thought that the
evidence of sodomy, and of the Rebecca Car
son conduct, should not have been admitted.
1has qcas comparatively so small Ct point
that neither Patterson nor 4S7aton referred
TO 1t, at all!
When they tell you that two out OF nine
Justices Of the Supreme Court Of the United
States differed from the majority, answer
back, that those tlco Justices went no fur
Their than to say, that If mob was in court;
bowling at the jury, threatening the Judge,
the lawyers, the jurors, the witnesses, &C.,
the Federal Courts should intervene.
But, the severe justices not only declared
that Franks lawyers had failed absolutely
to furnish evidence of mob violence, but that
the record sh0aced that the State Of Georgia
had green to Leo Frank the fullest measure
Of his legal rights.
When they tell you that Prison Commits
sioner t. E. Patterson recommended com
mutation, it will be a sufficient answer to
say, that Patterson leaned upon the fake let
ter Of Judge Roam, which never did have
any legal right to be considered at ALL
If letters can be raised from the dead to
wash away the crimes of the living, Pat
terson, and Moore, and Rosser might quit
everything else, and go to raising letters
from the dead.
A bunk epistle, purporting to be written

letter as deserves prominence among the in

THE JEFFERSONEAN
PAGE TWO

Conley and Leo Frank: the doomed girl qcas
bct2cccn the ttcO.
The doors were open between Frank and
the negro: the girl, in going down stairs,
would have had to pass some few yards
from where Mrs White saw the negro sit
ting.
If the negro had seized her, there would
certainly have been the sound of a scuffle; if
he had struck her, there would certainly have
been the sound of blow, and a fall; and
1t would have been a miracle If she did not
scream-and the scream would have rung
up the stairway into Franks open office
is 1t not so?
But if Frank went with her, 200 feet back
to the metal room, and closed the door, as
Monteen testified, the scream would not have
been heard by the workmen, two floors
above, hammerng, and tearing down par
tition.
jim says he heard the scream: but as
nothing more followed, he naturally took it
to mean that the girl had given in, as
women often do, after squeal of resistance.
| remember that when General John B.
Gordon was in the United States Senate. his
noble wife was misled by one of these
squeals; and she pushed a couple of her
male friends into an awkward interference
with Congressman Acklin, of Louisiana.
Mrs. Gordon honestly believed that the
woman's squeal was sincere resistance to
intended violence she was mistaken.
Next day, the woman was riding around
IN carriage with the amorous statesman
from Louisiana; and Mrs. Gordon's male
friends had to bear a considerable amount
of ridicule.
[ merely mention this to explain how Jim
failed to rush up stairs, and put himself BE-

What negro would have done it?
Suppose that the men who rushed in on
the privacy Of Congressman Acklin had been
negroes, what would Acklin have done to
Mem9
Negroes don't like to NEEDLE in white
folks fuses especially their fights and
their scrapes with white women.
Jim Conley was too much of common
negro, and was too used to Franks dealings
with the girls who worked for him.
Conley heard the scream, but as he heard
only one, and as that was followed by 81
lence, he believed that Frank was doing
with Mary what he was in the habit of do
ing with Rebecca Carson-or with Daisy
Hopkins.
This theory is absolutely credible, and IS
the only one echich captains.

Scoop"
Dan Lehon was fred from the Police De
partment Of Chicago for matchmaking
woman Of the town, just as his brassy Boss,
w. j. Burns, was fired from the National
Association of Chiefs of Police for being
such an all-round humbug and crook.
Lehon told the West that he p,onGgcI
to prorc that reporter planted the hair on
the handle of r. p. Barretts machine
Yet, during all the months and months the
case hung before the courts, the Prison Com
mission, and the Governor, this shameless
liar, Lehon, made no effort whatever to show
up that reporter.
He said it was one of the most startling
bits of evidence In the case, and so 1t qeas;
and he vowed that he was ''prepared to-
pro0e that the lock Of hair was planted &c.''
What became of his proof?
Why didn't he produce it before the
Prison Commission, and explode the States
case?
Why didn't he produce it before Gov
sitting up of nights?
1t Lehon had produced the evidence that
he was ''prepared' to fetch forward, Slaton
would not have needed war-zone, and a
barbed wire chevau1 de friSe, and machine
gun.
The reporter who planted that hair might
have needed a war-zone, but that's another
matter.
What are the people Of State to do,
qchero outside sentiment IS moaliciouszy p092ed
up against them, By such SYSTEM of lies;
and aohen their, oaon papers are gagged into
silence?
GET THE FACTS RIGHT!
For the honor of Georgia, for the vindica-
ton of her laws, her courts, and her people,
get the facts RIGHT
When they tell you that mob influenced
the grand jury which accused Leo Frank
of this hellish crime, fling back the answer
that four of those official accusers qcere
Jeacs!
Fling back the answer that those four
Jewish accusers of this most guilty Jew
could not be softened by the Haas brother
hood, could not be coerced by the B'Nai
Birth, could not be moved bv Rabbi Marx
could not be persuaded by Nathan Straus.
Tell them that after all the excitement
naturally attendant upon such a crime had
died down; and after the two-year propa-
ganda in behalf Of the guilty Frank had
done everything that Money could buy, those
four Jewish accusers of Leo Frank stood as
infeXiby as did the nineteen Gentiles!
When you hear them say that the "mob
atmosphere convicted Leo Frank, fling back
the answer that those twelve jurors sep
arated, after their work was done, and that
those twelve men are now scattered-one of
them being a hotel-clerl1 in Houston, Texas;
but no amount Of pressure has ever sue
ceeded in getting a single member Of that
jury to ask for clemency for the man he
condemned; nor to express anything but the

The dead sea OF suffering, Of mis-

The saloon provides the hunger that
drove the bulk Of these women into

These women toll and slave for

81 .0OO. 900 per day over their bars and
at their dives.
These women are driven BY the
cruel lash Of hunger in order that
brewery shareholders may get their

The liquor corporations call this
