The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1915-04-29

Now, when a reasonably intelligent man
starts out to find the murderer of Mary Pha-
gan, and discovers, first, that the physical
proofs place the crime on Franks office floor;
and, second, that Frank and the deceased were
together In his office, the last time she was
seen alive, upon aohom will the suspicious of
that reasonable man Immediately fall?
Upon Frank, of course; but suspicious are
not enough: reasonable man will investigate
further, before making up his mind.
lie will ask himself, what sort of a man is
Leo Frank, and what motive had he to muir
der the girl2
Right there IS where the outsiders have
been grossly deceived by such INSCRIPTIONS
and mercenary Liars as Burns and Connolly.
According to these, the character of Frank
was spQtless. He was chaste married man,
who never had the slightest desire for the
forbidden fruit
But in the official record. are the names Of
more than dozen white girls and ladies, who
swore IN open court that FTG2akS character
for zeacdneas, lasciviou8noss, immortality,
WAS BAD!
Could the Solicitor, Hugh Dorsey, have
drummed up dozen white women, Of so good
character, thut the defe7ada7t's LARGER dared
not question them, to testify in open court
that the reputation of any respectable man
OF Atlanta IS bad?
Don't you know that twelve or fifteen white
girls and women would never swear away the
character of man 50 powerfully connected
as Frank, unless they were swearing to the
truth?
What really faithful husband, among the
Jewish business men of Atlanta, is afraid that
a dozen white women in l1ia employer out
OF twill 90 into court, and swear that he
is Hbertine?
The official record, therefore. shows that
many unimpeachable witnesses appeared
against Franks moral character, and that
eve7a the bold Luther RosSer dared not cross
question them!
Why were Franks lawyers afraid to ask
those white women any questions?
Your natural sense tells you why.
So, here was the type of Jew business man,
so familiar to Northern cities, and so detested
by the authorities. 1t was the Jew, with
money, who runs after Gentle girls that have
no money.
Now, as to motive: Did Frank lust after
this pretty, robust Gentle maiden, Mary
Phagan?
Here, again, the outsider is referred to the
official record.
the fact that Frank lusted after this little
Gentle girl.
He himself realized the deadly danger to
him, On this point. and he pretended not to
have known Mary Phagan personally, at all
He only identified her, he said, by her mvzn-
ber as he handed her pay-envelope to her,

CONTINUED FROM PAGE oNE.)

They prefer to publish the irresponsible
statements Of Connolly, Burns, and the emo
tlonal outsiders who have never seen the off,
CsGZ record.
Luther Rosser and Rueben Arnold know
that The Jefersonian has been perfectly fair
to Frank and that every statement made by
it, as sustained by the 8a0oru testimony.
Without going over the whole case again.
The Jeffersonian begs to direct attention to
the following points:
~ Where a person is felled by blow
on the head, which renders the person struck
unconscious, and which causes much bleeding,
the blood qOiU be found aOhere the bleeding
head leg, after the person fell.
Where was Mary Phagan's blood found?
Was she struck In the basement, as one the
orists for the defense contended? No: for
no blood stains were found there
Was she struck on the first floor imnedi-
atelv above the basement; and then tumbled
through the trap door, down the ladder, into
the basement?
No: for no blood was found on the first
floor, none OH the ladder, none at the foot Of
the ladder
Then, where was she, when struck?
She was on the second floor, for that qcas
schere the blood q0as found.
The blood spots were found Monday morn
ing, after the murder: they were not there
Friday before the murder.
VIII it surprise the outsiders to learn, that
the witnesses who sWore to the blood spots on
Franks floor, q0ere Franks 0aon trusted en-
p1oyees?
What possible motive could they have, to
bring the crime to Franks door, q0hen their
silence QUOu1d haze made them rich?
Not only did Franks employees in the Pen
Gil Factory swear to the blood spots, but they
swore to Mary Phagan's hair, on the metal
crank, against which Frank knocked her. be-
fore he choled her to death with the cord that
was found imbedded in her neck.
To be exact, the machinst of the metal room
where Mary worked sWOre, that he had used
that gerry ma0chlne, up to quitting time, Fri
day evening before the murder, and that there
q0as no hair on his machine, THEN.
But when he went back to the machine on
the Monday morning after the murder, he
found the hair, and spoke of it, at the time.
The hair, then, got on the handle of the
machine, at some time on S0turday, the dag
Of the crime, for no one worked there at night,
or on Sundays.
Franks own employees testified that the
hair found on the metal crank handle ''looked
like Marys."
No girl or woman could be found who would
swear that she had been in that room on Sat
urday and that the hair found on the machine
might be hers, and not Marys.
Do you doubt that desperate efforts were
made to find such a girl or woman, among the
100 who worked for Frank?
So, the physical proofs of the murder are
right there, at FRANKS door, on the floor of
the building wherein he and Mary both
worked.
Where was Frank, that fatal day, at about
noon?
In his office.
Where was Mary Phagan, at about the same
time?
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1915-04-29

leooing- this other girl, going IN, did not
meet Mary Phagan, going out.
Why not? The witnesses, at this crisis Of
the case, fix the time By Franks oeon cloclc!
BY Franks own statement, and clock, Mon
teen Slower, the girl coming in, should haze
met Nary Phngara, going out. But she didn't.
Worst Of all, she not only did not meet
Mary, bit she found Frarat's office vaoaoet.
She waited five minutes, By Franks clock,
but she never saw him, nor heard him; and
she then went away.
Franks office door was open, facing the
stairs down which Mary should have gone,
and up which Monteen came
But neither Frank nor Mary were in the
office, or on the stairs, Or within sight Or hear
ing. Where eoere they?
They both appear together, the last time
we see Mary; and they both disappear, AT
TIE SAME TIME. We're they together?
Frank says, in his statement, that Mary
asked, If the metal had come, $50 that she
could go back to work, Monday, and her
blood and hair prove that she went back there
to see whether it had come, or for some other
purpose
Now, if you have followed me, you will
realize that the imperative necessity was
placed on Frank, to captain has absence from
has office, during the time that Monteen
Slower was waiting for him.
He and his lawyers felt this imperative
necessity, and he tried to explain his absence,
aoithont coretradicti1ag himself.
Before Frank had learned that Monteen
Slower had been in his. Office and had waited
five minutes for him, at the a,e,y time he and
Mary acere missing, be had told his own de
tective, Harry Scott, that he had not left has
office, but was continuously within it,
Thus, you see, Frank was entrapped, and
Fastened to the crime, by two pieces of evil
dence that proved to be invincible:
~ The unexpected vGsit Of M071teeD
Stover to has office, her fixing the time
By has czoch; and her failure to see either
him or Mary Phagan;
(2). Franks ignorance of the fact that
anybody had been IN has office, Willie he and
Mary were in the metal room; and, therefore,
the 5mpoSsibi1ity Of has foreseeing, that his
repeated statement, that he had not left has
office at ell, Would BE FATAL TO HIM.
The witnesses whose evidence really convict
Frank by proving that nobody else could
have committed the crime, are Miss Hattie
Hall, Miss Monteen Stover, Harry Scott. Miss
Corintbia ''all, r. P. Barrett Nell Stanford,
Mrs Freeman. and Mrs White.
Franks own clock fixed the time when
Mary came to his office, fixed the time when
she should have been going out, fixed the time
when Monteen found his Office vacant, fixed
the time when he and Mary were together at
the metal room.
In the frenzied effort to escape this appaz7
ing proof Of his gasi1t, Franks mind could do
no more than invent the hypothesis that, If
he was absent from his office. during the time
Monteen swears he was, he must have quac01a-
Sciouszy gone to the toilet.
In the first place, sane men do not uncon-
sciously respond to the calls of nature, when
they on duty, in the day time.
In the second place, to have gone to his
toilet, would have taken him past the blood

kits Much Superior to TrOus-
ers, They Say.

London, April 3O.-The kilt as a
soldiers uniform has proved itself
entirely superior to the trouser in the
winters hard campaign in France, ac-
cording to an officer who writes
home:
1.-The only times I've ever thought
with even a tinge of regret on the
trousers I've almost forgotten how to
wear have been when I've CHANGED to
be on guard on a cold breezy night,
when the wind maliciOuSly whistles
round and about your legs: then you
feel involuntarily almost that two
thickneSSeS of cloth might be better
than none. But the thought vanishes
as soon you are relieved and see
the guard-room fire again.
Il am told that the Canadian Scot
fish regiments treat their kilt as
sort of dress parade and put on trous
ers when they go into the trenches.
those very trenches that the kilt
shines.
For instance, it's 10 uncommon
thing for a trousered section who
have stood shivering on their plat
forms with their wet things clinging
to their legs for twenty-four hours
to see with a feeling of envy their
killed comrades coming up through
the water to relieve them with
kits tucked up high out of the
wet, so that the exception of feet
and puttees they can look forward
to a comfortable and, all things con-
sidered, warm time instead of a
shivery one. For the kilt, being ex-
ceptionally thick around the waist
and loins keeps the whole body nice
and warm, and if it does happen to get
wet the constant swinging about tends
to dry it quickly without a constant
clammy conta Il with the legs.
'tOn the nj ght of the tenth, for in
stance, we were taken about o'clock
through &, stream which came over
my hips but the kilt was quite dry
soon, and 1 felt no i'll effects whatevel

from the wetting, although it was a
bitterly cold night.
But it is on the march that one
appreciates the kilt most. There is a
delicious GOODNESS as the wind strikes
your knees that helps you along, and
there is a sense of freedom about the
waist and shoulders that the trouser-
ed man will never feel
when you are in billets on a hard
wood or stone floor, all you have to
do is to take off your kilt and spread
it on the floor, then with your blan-
ket starting from the bottom of it
and brought forward again over your
feet, you have a bed which keeps all
the cold and hardness away.
I'm actual fighting the moral effect
of the kilt is of value, and its associa-
lions with hard and terrible fighting
are so well known and appreciated
that the very sight of bare knees and
waving kits has an effect on the en-
envy well as on yourselves

Engine Tank Jumps Track and 81 Are
Injured.

Higbee, Mo-, April 3O.-Thirty-
seven persons were injured, two seri-
ously. when the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas passenger train No. 20, run
ming between New Franklin and Mo-
berly, was derailed near there last
night. The most seriously injured are
Mrs. n. r. Mitchell, of Chicago. and
E. NJ. Cox, of Ashmore, Ill. Both suf-
fered wrenched backs and severe
bruises.
The accident occurred at a curve
four miles south of here. 1t is be-
lieved to have been caused by the en-
gine's tank leaving the track. The

combination chair car turned over.
The train was late and was travelling
about 80 miles an hour.

Boston, June 5.-Alleged recruiting

ject OF an investigation begun by fed
eral officers here yesterday.
According to a cablegram from the
United States consul at London, which
was included in a message sent by
Secretary Bryan to Congressman Peter

youths have been enlisted in violation
of an agreement with the British board

Cattle.
Cattle prices were nominal.
There was no beef loaded this week
for American points from ports on the
River Platte. None was loaded last
week and there has been only one
Shipment from there in about five
weeks. Most OF the product from the
South American abbattoirs is being
taken by England and considerable
that arrives here is reshipped TO Eu-
rope.
Much meat is needed to feed the
fighting armies of the allies. This was
demonstrated this week, when ship
-nent of cattle from Chicago. along
with others bought 81 other places. was
sent to France. The cattle shipped
from Chicago this week on export ac-
count were the first in about three
years, and the trade has hopes
that this business will be a regular
thing in this country.
Receipts of cattle this week are to-
falling smaller than last week. During
the first five days OF the week there
have been about $500 cattle received
at Chicago, against 39,42s for same
