HOPE COMPANY SELLS
 67 CARS BUSHEL BASKETS

Chas. Aber, manager of the Hope Crate & Basket Company, of this city states that he has contracted for the sale of 67 cars of bushel baskets which will be shipped to Fort Smith and Clarksville, to be used in the shipmen of the peach crop from these points. About 5000 baskets are packed in a car, making a total shipment of more than 350,000 baskets. Granting for the sake of argument that producers will get $1.00 per bushel for their peaches (they will get more) this will mean the distribution of more than $350,000 alone in that section. It is said this is only a small number of baskets which will be required to handle the peach crop of that section this season. Mr. Aber will also handle large orders for baskets in other parts of this state as well as in other states. Hope Gazette.

FOURTH DAY, JULY 81.
Direct era n,ination by Solicitor Dors

Direct examination BY Solicitor Dorsey.
9. What Is your business? A. Super
intendent of the local branch of th-
Pinkerton Detective Agency.
.. DO you know Leo NJ. Frank? A.
Yes, sir.
Q. When did you first see him? A.
On Monday afternoon, April %, abouf
4.3O o'clock.
Q. Where did you see him? A. J
saw him in the pencil factory. AS
went up the stairway he was standing
near the, time clock, and I asked him
to come into his private Office where
We could have a conversation. He and
Mr.. Darley and-I forget the other
party-entered Mr.. Franks private OF
fice, where We had conference.
9. What did Frank state to you in
that private office Monday afternoon,
April -? A. Well. Mr.. Frank was
the spokesman, and he stated: 81 guess
you have read in the newspapers about
the horrible crime that was committed
in This factory, and the directors or
the company and myself have had
conference. and thought that the pub
lie should demand that We have an
investigation made and eNdeavor to de
termine who Is responsible for this
murder" and Mr.. Frank followed that
preliminary conversation up by statinS
that he had just come from police Dai-
racks. and that Detective John Back
seemed to suspect him Of the crime
and then he related to me his move
ments on Saturday. April 20 in detail
.. Well. go right into the details that
Frank gave you. \. He stated that
he arrived al the factory at a. m :
and between go and 10 o'cloch he left
the factory, accompanied BY Mr.. Oar
ley general manager at the fsctorH'
and went to Montag Bros for the
companys mail. He said that he re-
maned there about AN hour; that ne
returned to the factory at about II
o'clock. and JUS, before T. O'Clock Mrs
White, wife OF J. \. White. who was
working that day on the fourth moor
with Harry Denham. came in and asked
permission to go up stairs to see her
husband Mr.. Frank said he granted
her pernis sion, and that this g'rl. Mary
Phagan. who was murdered, came lnt"
the factory to draw her pay, that She
had been laid off the Monday previous
and was due Sl."0, which he paid her
in denominations of two half dollars
and two dimes he believed He would
not be sure OF the two dimes. but he
knew ne did not give her "A bill.

Encounters Hitch.

Right here the state encountered
decided hitch in the working OF us
theory. which will be made apparent
by the testimony Of Miss Stover.
solicitor Dorsey sought to establish
In the minds OF the jurors-and
annarently was successful--the prob
ability that when Miss StoVer came
into Franks outer office the reason
she did not see him in the inndr Oh
fces was because ne, at that very
moment, was back in the metal
room, where he had lured Mary
Phagan on the pretext OF seeing II
the metal had come.
But the Stover girl. who was one
OF the States Witnesses. swor~ that
she entered the factory at 12.oJ
O'Clock and left at 1910. She looked
a, the clock in the factory and could
not be IN staken, she said. So, If her
story Is true, the States theory falls
at this point on the testimony OF its
own witness. for when Monteen
Masy Phagan had not even got of
the car at Marietta and Forsyth
streets, and when the Stoter girl
left, at 10. it was still two min
ules before the Phagan girl could
have arrived. The only manner IN
which the solicitor was able to har-
moniZe the testimony OF his own wit
neSses to his theory Of the case was
TO shove ahead the schedule OF the
street car company and shove back
the clock in the National Pencil fac

Says Frank Tried
To Implicate Negro.

Mr. Dorsey: want to snow that
Frank was doing all he could to point
the finger OF suspicion at Newt Lee; |
want to show that Frank insisted on
his own house being searched, and moth
ing was found. and that subsequently to
tia. that shirt was found at Newt Lees $
house. Our contention Is that that shirt
was a plant and that the suggestion
10 search Franks house was made in
order 70, lei them follow that n, = a
search of Lees premises.
The Court: Put the question.
Q. Answer the question. A Mr.. Frank
said he didn't think Newt Lee had told
al he knew about H. He said, after
remarking that there had been three
SIX ps in the time slip, that Lee would
have had an hour TO have gone to his
house and back.
=. When did you so to Lees house
\. Tuesday morning.
.. Was 1t before or after Frank had
told you about the skips in the punch
A. 1t was after 1t was on Monday
Frank told about the skips, and Tues
day morning We went out to Newt Lee s
house.

I animation of Black at this point.
and soon had him so badly con-
fused as TO dates that it was nee
y essary to dismiss him from the
witness stand.

What Did He Say?

Great stress Is laid upon the fact
that Frank. according to Detective
scott. said to Mary Phagan when
she asked II the metal had come:
II don't know" EmpnasIs was
placed on this by the prosecution in
order to- give the Appearance of
strength to its theory OF the mur-
der. The Solicitor wanted Frank
quoted as saying ~ don't know"
in order to show the way he be
lieved Frank had iured Mary Pha-
gan to the metal room.
Let me direct attention to this
fact: Leo NJ. Frank was the one
man in the factory who would
know whether the metal had come
or not. Therefore, there was no
question about his knowing that it
had arrived. II. as the state con-
tended, this was a ruse used by
Frank to lure Mary Phagan to the
metal room, why should Frank him
self furnish information to the
prosecution?
In order to indicate that Scott
told an untruth when he quoted
