FEDERAL DEPRK MEN
Washington, June by admis-
sion at the treasury dept today that
search is being made by secret serv-
ice for Knox Booth, division revenue
agent for Tennessee and Alabama,
with headquarters at Nashville, light
was let into what is declared to be
$2O,OOO,OOO revenue scandal, extend
ing through three administrations.
Booth has been missing two weeks,
his disappearance being coincident, it
is said with the arrest of John L.
Caspar at Fort Smith, Ark, on charge
of conspiring to defraud the govern
ment.
Caspar is head of big distillery
that is said to have evaded payment
of a large part of it's taxes through
alleged conspiracy with revenue Of
ficers.
The search for Booth and the ar
rest of Caspar, it is said, constitute
only the beginning of a widespread
investigation into this branch of the
revenue service, several other south
ern states being involved. It will be
shown, it is said, that frauds against
the government averaged 100000
a year for the past ten years.

JUDICIAL ELECTION RESULTS IN
LIGHT VOTE
Early indications pointed to one Of
Chicago's quietest elections and a
slack vote today when the balloting
for the circuit, supreme and superior
benches started slowly. The absence
of women at the polls was noticeable.
The steady downpour of rain was
given as the cause for the light vote,
which is now expected to run under
100000 for the men and $4,000 for
the women. Women can mark only
the small ballot on bond issues.
The weight of organized labor was
felt when part of the vote which
Jesse Baldwin and Jesse Holdom ex-
pected slid over to Judges George
Kersten and John P. McGoorty. The
Jesses have been backed strongly by
the trust press and big business. Or
ganized labor has centered its cam
paign to put the pair out of business.
Charges of knitting the Democratic
party were slammed at the Sullivan
crowd by the 'H-H" bunch.

him, unless the defendant voluntarily con-
cedes the State that privilege
In Franks case, he kept behind his legal
right, and refused to allow single question
to be put TO him-although he went on the
stand taUice.
1t has been said that the time was too
short for Frank to have committed the deed
the time being half an hour by his clock.
A seo7ucer needs more time than that, but
a rapist doesn't
1t is doubtful whether the sexual organism
and the nervous system could sustain, for
thirty minutes. the frenzy of the rapist.
However that may be. somebody did what
was done to Mary Phagan, IN less than half
an hour; and the undeniable evidence
shows it.
The undisputed testimony also shows, that
Frank had the girl in his possession at that
very time and that both he and the girl dis
appeared at that time.
Mrs White found him, again, at ~ :35, but
when Mary was found, that night, her body
was rigid in all it's members; and her blood
and hair were near the place where Frank
said he no5gHt have gone, qtncO1SclouSzy, when
he was out of his office, and Monteen was
in it.
It has been said, that Frank accounted for
all of his time, that fatal day, eucept q fen
minutes
Yes; and Lady Macbeth's little hand was
clean, except for the one blood spot which all
the waters of ocean could never wash white
again.
It has been said, that the State was in
debted to Frank for knowing that Mary Pha
gan was in his office that day.
When the State traced the doomed girl
from her home, at near noon; traced her on
the street car, going into the heart of the city;
traced her from the car to within few yards
of Franks office; and proved her sayings that
she was on her way there-and then found
her stiff body in the building, that night, how
COULD Frank deny she had been there?
When the State proved that she could not
have entered the building before - 02; and
proved that she must have entered, after
II :02, and before - :35, what COULD Frank
do, except fix time 6etaoeen the two?
Fate willed that he should tell Harry Scott,
before he was accused of the crime, that Mary
came into his office at 1910.
Fate also willed that another work girl,
wanting her wages looked at the same clock
as she went up stairs to Franks office, "and
it was ten minutes after twelve. [ waited
five minutes, and left at y :15.'
Where 2oa8 Frank? Where acaS Ma4y?
1t has been said that Frank was the first
to identify Marys body.
The evidence shows that Miss Grace Hicks
identified the body at the morgue. Il knew
her by her hair"
The officers who went out to Franks house,
a few minutes later, that Sunday morning,
told him that the dead girl found in his place
of business was Mary Phagan.
So far from identifying her, he wouldn't,
or couldn't, look at her face, when the under
tal1er took the face in his hands and turned
it toward him.
Before that mute accuser, he turned his
back, and went behind the curtain.

or more that his wife would not come about
him.
They say he talked to her every day over
the telephone, a statement easy to make, and
impossible to disprove.
AS we'll might you say that those daily calls
over the phone were the desperate appeals of
a guilty man, to an obdurate wife whom he
had MORALLY offended.
1t has been said that Frank was a man Of
pure morals, an ideal husband, &c.
The record shows the names of a dozen
white girls and women who sWore that they
hnew Frank to be lascivious.
The record shows that one white girl was
offered as a witness, to prove that Frank tried
to debauch her, the second day after she went
to work for him; and that Franks lawyers
were afraid to let the girl testify.
The record shows, that Frank went into
private room with one of his work girls, Re
becca Carson, in the day time, repeatedly,
when neither Frank nor Rebecca had any
legitimate business to be alone together
1t has been said that the State of Georgia
is about to hang a white man, on the evidence
of negro.
The record shows that, if the negro had not
been in existence, the body of Franks victim
would have been found where he killed her,
for he was not physically able to move her
without help.
The record shows that, if the negro had
never gone on the stand. Frank would have
been convicted on the evidences Of the blood
and the hair, the minute hand of his clock,
and the unimpeachable testimony Of white
witnesses, the most important of whom were
his employees, and friends, at the time the
deed was done-1oot discharged employees
and enemies.
It has been said, that Georgia did not give
Frank fair trial.
The record shows that he absolutely ex-
hausted the resources Of a Code which is more
lenient to the accused. than any in the Union:
and when he had resorted to extraordinary,
unparalleled expedents in Georgia courts, he
had the extreme good fortune to have the en-
tire procedure reviea0ed and severely scru-
tinized by the highest court on earth
When the United States Supreme Court
said that Franks able Industrious indefatig-
able attorneys had utterly failed to show that
Georgia had not given Frank a fair trial.
ought not the question to be considered ud-
Indicated?
