fact that made this old style OF hiding away
restaurants and bars within hotels somewhere was
the fact that many of the guests didn't patronize
them under the European plan of operation, but
went out and ate elsewhere and drank elsewhere
and patronzed other tonsorial artists.
Alighting from our limousine or jitney bus or
street car directly in front OF the hotel, enter
through the revolving doors and find ourselves in
a broad, long lobby.
The floor is terrazza, the walls frescoed in
eye-resting tints and there is abundance Of white
marble. The baseboards white marble. so

to the basement and up TO the second floor.
At the opposite end from the entrance is the

Special attention was given to the beds, the
management holding that a good bed is more i'm
portant than anything else in hotel with the ex-
cepton of cleanliness. The highest grade of de
luxe springs placed on all the beds and the
mattresses OF extraordinarily fine quality. 1t
is the proud boast OF the manager that such sleep
ing facilities are not found in any hotels except
the very highest and best types.
Thick carpets cover every inch OF floors in the
rooms and run along the long halls. The hall walls
frescoed and the bedrooms are papered with
English papers of small, neat designs in the very
latest patterns.

refinements like trunk racks and night tables.

every room and the exhausted air withdrawn in
accordance with the latest developments of the
science of ventilation.
other pipes running through the walls lead
from each floor to the basement, where there is
vacuum cleaner of the latest make. All cleaning
will be done by means Of this dirt consumer.
The kitchen, located in the northwest corner
of the main floor, right back of the cafe, is one of
the most up-to-date and strictly sanitary to DO
found anywhere.
The cement floors and the fact that the kitchen
furnishings of metal and set up on legs several
inches from the floor make 1t impossible for rats,
mice or other vermin to find home there.

The total cost of the Castle hotel building was
abut $2O0OO This is exclusive of the value of
the land which is high, and of the cost OF the fur
nishings and equipment
Il will take mine ease in mine castle" said the
poet
The Castle hotel is eminently fitted to permit

ideally equipped to care for the business which it
aims to for, to give good. clean. comfortable
accommodations to the people and to supply also

"A mans house is his castle"

his home? Surprising that the man who is away
from his home is sojourning in Omaha, what
about him?
He is away from that home which is his "cas-

What shall he do for a temporary CASTER?
The answer to all this is very easy.

Several more pages Of "Some Facts are
taken up with alleged contradictions found in
Conley's evidence, and his alleged mistakes
as to the various times of day.
That's all lmmaterial: ConZeu IS not Frank:
and no one is depending on Conleys evil
dence.
1t is Franks statement, Franks witnesses.
Franks white employees, and the physical
evidence, that condemn him.
On page q, we again have the exploded
theory OF W. E. Thomson: Conley seized
Mary on the first floor, "and hurled her,
either through the open elevator shaft or
through the trap door to the floor below
where her doom was sealed in the manner her
dead body revealed. Conley then went down
the ladder into the basement and found the
little girl stunned but not dead"
The witnesses sWore that the dust on the
rounds of that ladder sh0aved no slams of
h@r5aog been disturbed: and every witness
who searched the basement testified that there
was no blood stains anywhere!
If that 211a inch cut in Marys head did not
make those spots on the second floor, qehat
became Of her blood?
Some Facts" hanks back to the mythical
"pile Of cinders"
There wasn't any pile of cincers, and the
sworn testimony of Franks own witnesses
show it. (See especially Kauffmans evil
dence, page 82.)
Almost the whole page 81 Of "Some
Facts" is c1nders. There are cinders in a
pile, clnders In Marys face, cnders In her
hair, clnders IN her mouth cinders In her
nose, cinders under her finger nails, and she
twas dragged through the cinders until her
face was as black as that of negro"
That vivid picture is spoiled by Franks
X 011tfmon who fnlI tod
and diagrammed the basement: he does not
put any "cinders" in it, at all!
No other witness does; and no witness spoke
of any "cinders" in the girls hair, or any
where else.
Her face was purple black from congested
67ood, the congestion being caused by that
cruel, imbedded cord around her neck.
Mr.. Gheesling, the undertaken, swore that
he took 'half gallon of blood from the lit
tie girls body, to clear up the face and
body"
Sergeant Dobbs, as already stated, testi-
fled that she was lying in the dirt, on her
face, and seemed to have been dragged by her
feet Oh her face; and that after they turned
her over, he wiped the dirt and dist from
her face with a piece Of paper.
Not one witness swore to her face being
black with "cinders mashed into her face"
And the doctor said, the slight scratches
In the face were made after death, doubtless
by dragging the girls tender face over the
gritty earth floor.
"Some Facts then describes how Conley
"grabbed the cord'' in the basement, choked
her to death. and then sat down by the corpse,
to compose the notes, after he completed his
fendish purpose"
Negroes who assault and murder white
women, don't grab cords to do the choking
with, nor do they sit down calmly beside
the victim, to write several notes. on paper
of different colors

1t is impossible! The evidence locates the
time the place, and the man.
Muddying the water with trivialities can
not obscure the main facts. The labored
effort to put it all on Conley, is the after
thought Of desperation.
There IS no evidence whatever against the
negro, except his own statements, and the
Solicitor could not have travelled foot in
the attempt to make out case on him.
Perhaps the most absurd Of all the writers
of the Frank propaganda. is Herbert Quick,
who compares Governor Slaton to Pontius
Plate, and places Leo Frank IN the position
of Jesus Christ.
This Herbert person lives in Chicago, and
syndicates lot of stuff In a chain Of national
papers,
Herbert says that twelve men convicted
Frank, and that 100,000,000 people have &C
quilted him.
I suppose he means that criminal cases
should be tried In the newspapers. on manu-
featured evidence; and that every man,
woman and child in America-white. black,
mixed, lettered and unettered, intelligent
and stupid-shouId constitute the jury.
Herbert IS welcome to that sage opinion.
In Georgia, we propose to stand by the twelve
men Selected By Frank and the Statc). who
heard the evidence and who were designated
by law as the selected jurors who shou7d hear
1t, and base their verdict upon it.
[ see no striking resemblance between Gov
ernor Jack Slaton and Pontius PLATE, for
Governors are not courts and juries, and can
not legally exercise judicial powers, such as
Plate held.
It is peculiarly stupid to liken Leo Frank
to Jesus Christ; for. while Christ was jew,
he was not accused of crime that we would
recognize; and the prosecutors who craved
his blood and chose rather to extend elem

who reviled their victim, Knocked him. spat

Judge Roam ana Ex-Judge Powell.
Some weeks ago it was stated in the daily
papers, that Franks lawyers would lay before
the Prison Commission letter written by
Judge Roam, in which the dead jurist had
expressed his belief in Franks innocence.
The alleged letter has not been produced.
Instead there is a letter from the leading at
torney of the Burns Detective Agency-who
managed to save from just punishment the
infamous scoundrels that bribed Ragsdale and
Barber.
No doubt ex-Judge Powell was paid most
comfortable fee in that case, by the Haas
Finance Committee; and perhaps Powell is

of the Burns Agency.
If Powell were a man Of any delicacy Of
feeling, he would have asked the other law
yers Of the Haas Committee to besmirch the
memory of Judge L. S. Roam.
If Judge Roam expressed any such opinion
as Powell, at this very late date, attributes
to him, that opinion was not conhded to Pow
ell, alone.
There was no secret that Judge Roam kept
